Tattoos- Why do you let your friends scratch you up / then regret it!?
86740
When I was 16 and very, very stupid I let my friend do a tattoo on my arm. It didn't look half bad, but it wasn't something I would want on my arm today as an adult. Good news was he didn't put the ink in deep enough or something because five years later it faded to the point where it could not be seen at all. Gone. Now I have the most beutifull portrait tattoo in its place of someone I never want to forget. Alls well that ends well.

It's a fine line . . . when you realize that you no longer respect a person it makes it difficult to want to be around them.  I've had many friends (girls) through the years who made profoundly stupid choices about men and sex that I just couldn't bring myself to have to hear about after having expressed my opinion on the side of caution - I just stopped hanging out with them.  They knew why.  It's just too hard to watch someone go through the pain you told them was coming and try to be a shoulder to cry on when there was no need to put yourself in the crying situation to begin with.\n\nGenerally, it was never so cut and dried.  Friends who got mixed up with hard drugs tended to drift away on their own.  Friends who got obsessed with a significant other much the same.  It's a little easier when you don't have to say "look, you aren't the same person I wanted to hang out with - I don't much like you anymore and I don't see that changing."

I don't remember their name but I had been voted as best answer for my answer about tattoo ideas. I told them to pick what they wanted but gave two very important tips to keep in mind when choosing a tattoo. They didn't leave a comment but I usually read comments if a person leaves one.

It rips through your skin and it is painful in some areas while in others it is just very uncomfortable.  But if you really like tattoos and you want one that bad it is worth every minute of excruciating pain you go through.

Smart girl, you have handled that poking incident very well. It was a harmless prank that some boys play to amuse themselves as well as others.\n\nHe is sort of feeling sore being ditched by others. And who doesn’t? I think he still has a liking for you; didn’t he betray himself by blushing (turn red as you put it)?\n\nPlus the fact that you now have a new boyfriend, it is indeed complicated for him. I sure hope that your friends don’t tease him too much, have mercy. Haha.

Not only because it thins the blood, but because some people will get themselves "numbed" up before the tattoo to decrease the pain--and end up throwing up.  The tattooists would really not like to have you be doing that while you are in there.

That's exactly what happens to me with a close friend of mine.. \nso i've been thinking about it hard lately .. esp after i tried every way with her.. i talked to her about it many times .. i got mad at her.. i forgave her a thousand times.. so the last thing i decided was to tell her for the last time the way i hate it when she does things that hurt my feelings and told her that now she knows what bothers me and that im not gona talk to her or call her until she thinks deeply about it and realizes that i really get hurt and make sure she wont do it again and is ready to change the way she treats me in order for the past not to repeat itself

My tattoo is a scar from my past. It represents the importance of that time and the symbolism it still holds. I have it to remind me of who I am. I dont need it , I like it. My tattoo is of a dragonfly. It reminds me of growing up around fresh water creeks as a child and watching these amazingly beautiful pilots whizzing across the surface of the water. I had it put on at a time of intense transition from adolescence to adulthood. Dragonfly's also symbolize change. As I grow older its a lovely guage of time, and I love that it will be with me when I die one day, another change in my life.

I personally dont like tattoos on womens arms. It also seems like so many woman put them on their back..which just isnt that original.You might want to deal with a little more pain and get something unique and personal in a different area. The pain wont last that long but the Tattoo will and you will be happier with something that is meaningful and not just a novelty..Just an opinion..Hope this helps..Steve.."A fan of tattoos on woman"\nI personally like the one on Nicole Ritchie's foot

I do not actually regret my one tattoo, but there are times I wish I didn't do it (I no longer see the use for it.)

I personally feel like if it happens once shame on them if it happens a second time shame on you for letting it happen. Trust is a hard thing to build once its lost you can take that friend with a grain of salt because even if you do give her a second chance this incident will always be in your mind

Hurting some of the best people I have ever met. Its not a regret as such because I have learnt from it, but its still not nice to know that some one else has been upset by you for doing no wrong.

Yes.  I agree.  Tattoos are the desperate attempt for trashy people to draw attention to themselves.  They were ignored as children and now as adults they do nothing of note to draw attention to themselves so they attempt to shock people into noticing them.  It is as if they walked out into society, stood on a chair, cupped their hands and began screaming:\n\n"Look at me!!" \n\n"LOOK AT ME!!!"\n\n"Will someone PLEASE look at me?  Look at how shocking I am.  Are you shocked?  Are you stunned?  I don't give a &*%$ about ANYTHING!  I'm so rebellious--I'm so shocking--I'm so BAD.  LOOK AT ME!!!!"\n\n\nPeople with class, talent, and high self esteem don't need to deface their bodies to draw attention to themselves.  They let their ACTIONS speak louder than their bodies.

Oh honey, how could a nice, intelligent, humorous girl like you have been so dumb?  Tattoos, like diamonds, are forever.\nBreak all the mirrors in your house and cut the tattooist to pieces with the shards.

me and my friends draw on our hands and arms all the time...and i dont think were dead yet...i once had a sharpie \n"tattoo" of a tiger that went from my wrist to my shoulder and nothing happened...its just a myth smelling a sharpie is much more harm full than writing on your skin with one!

Any amount of gift money thrown my way goes into tattoos.  That's just me.
