Isn't it just the prettiest thing? I'm absolutely loving it. So, are any of you "tatted" up? Or, are you like me and too indecisive?

Tatted Up
The summer after high school, I lived in Georgia and worked for my uncle's business. At the time, I was anxious to get as far away from home as possible and "find" myself sans parents. I really, really wanted to get a tattoo... and talked my uncle into signing for me to get one (because I was not yet 18). The only rule he had was that I had to know exactly what I wanted to get before going, and he wouldn't take me until the end of summer. Well... I'm now almost 31 and still without a tattoo. Needless to say, I just couldn't make up my mind, and that obviously doesn't help when you are going to put something on your body for life. And, thankfully, I didn't settle for any of the ideas that crossed my mind that summer. (They were horrific and had absolutely no meaning to me.) Over the years, I've seen some really cool tattoos that have made me warm to the idea again. I came across the coolest tattoo in the blog world and just had to share.

Yes I am. I had a lower back tattoo done 4 years ago. Its a vine with 3 red hibiscus flowers. I love it. I'm thinking of another, maybe on my foot or wrist, but need to do a lot of thinking about the design first.
I got a DUMB tattoo on my back when I was 18...then at 27 I tattooed a cross over it. I regret getting it in the first place...but oh well, what can you do?
My husband has a GORGEOUS tattoo on his shoulder amongst many other tattoos. I just say if you're gonna get it...your uncle had good advice, know EXACTLY what you want!
I got a tiny tattoo just to get the "itch" out of my system! I have a dove with a heart on my hip. It's decent enough. I definitely have no desire to get any more, it kind of was like ... let's just get this over with! =)
I have 3 and have been "itching" for another one for a few months now. The only problem I have is ..."I don't know what I want or where I would put it" issue. I like the fact that all of my tatoos can be hidden and you sort of start to run out of places on your body!!
I have one. After a good friend (ex-boyfriend/love of my life at the time) died I was devastated. About 5 months later I was listening to the song "I Hope You Dance" and realized it was a message I needed to take to heart. As a reminder that life is short & we need to live it fully I got the chinese symbol for the word "dance" tattooed on the inner side of my left ankle. I'd wanted a tattoo for quite some time but could never think of anything I wanted on my body at the ripe old age of 80. This was it and I, to this day, have never regretted getting it (I've had it for almost 10 years).
