I have 8 tattoos, and I have plans for several more. Most of them are covered pretty much all the time, not because I want to hide them but because of where they are. And like most people, each one has a story and is a part of who I am.
I have no qualms with others having tattoos. My own son has one on his arm that he designed himself. Our deal- since he was a little boy when I got my first one- was that he had to wait till he was 18, use a reputable and accredited tattooist, pay for his own and never tattoo his neck or face.
