Tattoos - Would you? Do you? If so, regrets?

No one said YOU are trashy, they just look trashy. Things I think look trashy: blue eye shadow, big hair, large fake tits, dipping, smoking, butt cracks hanging out of jeans, pink flamingos and cars jacked up on blocks in the yard, keeping on your Christmas lights until summer, and of course tattoos. I'm sure you are perfectly classy, as are smokers, but I still think it a trashy look and definitely not for everyone.

How can you generalize - tattoos are unique for the most part. I would agree some tattoos look trashier than others (cartoon character vs Hawaiian tribal), but I disagree with the idea that just the presence of a tattoo is trashy.

I have one, below my ankle on my inner right heel. It only shows when I'm barefoot or wearing sandals. Most people don't notice it.
I don't regret it, it symbolizes the abortion I had when my ex-fiance threatened to beat me until I miscarried. It was a turning point in my life, I left him 3wks later and started over.
I plan to get another one, small and hidden and somewhere that won't sag (no bigger than 1x1in, on an inner wrist, behind my ear, nape of neck). I have a design chosen and it also has deep meaning to me. I just can't justify the expense right now though.
Like 14:44, I find certain tattoos trashy, but not all.

You are right because blue eye shadow can look nice and smoking sure did look classy when Audrey Hepburn did it. However, I stand by the fact that I think most tattoos look pretty trashy, except when a hot guy with with bad ass muscles and 5% body fat has a full sleeve, kind of like Henry Rollins back in the day-I'd definitely hit that any Thursday in 1996.

Permanent? Let's talk permanence. A friend of mine had her scarred chest inked with beautiful flowers, after her double mastectomy. Should I call her and tell her she's "trashy?" If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the fuck up.

I'm pretty sure that no part of my (or your) 70 year old body is going to be "pretty."

Seriously, good for you. My tattoo symbolized my freedom as a young person and at that time in my life it was what I desperately needed to do for myself.

I have none. I would get one if something was so meaningful and significant that I wanted a permanent memento of it. i would put it in a location that was covered by a bathing suit as it would be meaningful for me, not something I wanted to draw attention to, or for public approval.

Yes, because it is a permanent DRAWING ON YOUR BODY. It is just weird. It shows poor judgment. It also is a public flag of exhibitionism and narcissism. Huge turn-off. Skanky.

So would you say the same for plastic surgery?
