<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Lately, I've been contemplating as to whether or not I should get myself a tattoo. I haven't exactly decided what to get, but perhaps something small to start with. I'm not really in a rush either, because I might be just hyped up to get one, without really wanting one in the long-run. You know what I mean.
Thoughts? And what are the cons to getting tattoos? Other than it being difficult to get rid of?</div>
Whatever you decide to do, make sure that you go to a place that uses complete sterilization. Ask them about it first. The good sterilizer boxes cost them a lot of money. Go to a well-established place and chances are they are using that.
When I was younger, I watched a guy give my friend a tattoo with a home-made gun. It was made out of toy racecar parts. He didn't charge a lot though. LOL!

I have 4 tattoos. None of them are visible if I'm wearing pants and shirt. I got them done by a professional, and he had the expensive sterilization thing. It costed me hundreds of dollars, and was a big hit to my wallet at the time. I don't regret it. I'll likely get more some day. For every person that hates them, there are just as many that appreciate them. One of them has personal signifigance, the other 3 are just something cool that I thought of at the time. My favorite one is the one across my knee. It was done in bold-line design (as opposed to fine-line). The bold one's last longer, and smear less. Your picture may call for more fine lines though, it depends.
Don't get a tattoo on your face. That's crazy.
I have seen a lot of girls with that lower back tattoo. One of them is a mom with college-age kids. It varies.
