Originally tatoos were symbolic as a rite of passage for boys into manhood. Other life events were also marked (excuse the pun) by tatoos. More often than not, however, tattoos were a form of body art, decoration, or meant to express something symbolic.\n\nHonestly,  can't see that the feelings, symbolism, or meanings behind tatooing has changed. Some feel it's cool while others are expressing an artistic endeavor. Some are being rebellious and still others simply want to commemorate turning a certain age, an event , etc.\n\nIt all seems very similar but not quite as "main stream" as it once was. The funny thing is that for awhile the only people with tatoos were thugs and bikers, now teacher, doctors, and lawyers share the love of ink.

You certainly can. I have many tattoos, but I would seriously think reeeeeeeaaaallllllyyy hard before getting a tattoo on my face. It will be there forever. If you do decide to do this, make sure to go to a reputable tattoo artist. Don't be afraid to pay a bit more for good work. Tattoos should not be cheap, thay are forever. There are tattoo shops that specialize in this kind of thing.(permanent make up, beauty marks, etc.)

A tat that's well done can be really hot. \nBut remember they are permanent.\nI have several, and the only problem is they fade over time. \nSo choose wisely, and keep yourself in shape girl. Fat chicks and tats can be an ugly mix.

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 can not say why all people get tattoos all over their body, I can just say why I do.  Its a matter of owning my body to its fullest.  Every inch I can control what color, pattern, shape is on it.  I am a very intelligent, upper class white American.  I do not hang with others who have as many tattoos as me, I go to church every Sunday.  I am a wonderful mother, I do not have low self esteem, I have great self confidence, and I do not crave attention.  American culture is changing..it is no longer just the rebel, convict, or biker gang member.  It is the mom next door; when i am in a full business suit not one tattoo shows (that's if my hair is down).  So don't be so quick to judge, you do not know all you are judging.

Give tattoos. I love to draw and I think permanantly decorating people with my artwork would be exciting.

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!

There is a website called TattooFinder.com. Every imaginable piece of art u could think of. Best thing is that everything is catagorized. If u look up friendship tats, I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggestions and nice pieces.\nGood luck.

On my body??? It would be my right hip that's been custom tattooed with my favorite(3) hummingbirds, & everyone who has ever viewed them has told me how gorgeous & real looking they are :)... also my deep blue eyes that have a tiny dot of "violet-purple" in them spotted by my eye doctor under special lights.\nAnd I have been complimented on my full NATURAL bust even by a few doctors, one even tried to "cop a feel" after he viewed my x-rays and saw how big/nice they appeared,then he made a few embarrassing comments to me that turned me as red as a beet!!...(I felt good to get a compliment since I don't have them occur too often!)\n\nOn men: I'd say always my fav parts are first eyes (I'm weak in the knees for blues & greens), and I love a GOOD SOLID CHEST with just a small amount of hair just in the center.... mmmmmmm! HOW SEXY!...\nthe "bulgy" parts get noticed/mentioned later on in time, IF that time comes!
