Who thinks I should get a tattoo?
Hell, I've been truckin' for 11 years and not even one tattoo. What do you think and where should I get it? I've been thinking about tattooing my forearms inside and out, but I haven't thought of something good to get there yet.

1. Just make sure it's something you know you'll still want a few years from now.

I've got four planned for myself that I only haven't gotten because of money reasons. But I've wanted three of those four since sometime around 2000 or 2001. And since I still want them, I think it's fairly safe to assume that they'll be worth getting. :)

2. Well
Tattooing on the inside of the skin is pretty painful, I hear. :D

4. You know what I mean, dammit
And next you'll probably tell me that your name isn't "dammit."

3. Wait until you know what you want, then think about it some more.
I sat on the idea for mine for probably three years, and I'm glad I did because I changed where I wanted to do it, and am much happier for it.

5. Whoa, think this through
Remember, it's even a bigger commitment than marriage.

7. Yeah you can't divorce a tattoo
unless you do some expensive laser surgery. But this would be something that I've been thinking about for ten years.

6. Why can't you just start with one? Why the whole forearm?
Personally I like single tattoos myself rather than when one has a sleeve.

8. Well, I thought about just doing the inner forearm on my right arm first
and then going from there. If I'm cool with just the one tattoo then that's alright. If I'm going to do more I know where I'm going to do it.
