This week's burning question is:

Do you have tatoos?
-----
Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!

I don't have any tatoos - I really don't care for the look of them. However, once I considered getting tatooed make-up - until I found out it hurt. Furggit about it!

Nope.

I have had three or four friends get them as they turned 40 or in their 40s. If they weren't tempted in their 20s and 30s, it baffles me that they suddenly get the urge to get them in their 40s...

Do kitty scratches count? No way I would ever get one!

No. However, I've been telling old friends I do. In e-mail conversations with folks I haven't seen in forty years, one of the guys said something about how he couldn't understand why some of the most gorgeous young women had tattoos. He really doesn't like them.
I flippantly wrote back that I guess he wouldn't want to see my old wrinkled one, then. A couple of others got into the conversation. They all say they can't imagine me having one. So, I found a tattoo on a woman's back (her hair is kind of like mine) on a website and sent it to them.
They still say they want to see in person but I know I'll probably never see them again so it's a fun running joke.
Actually, I've seen a few I really like but they wouldn't look the same on a fluffy old lady. MOL
Yesterday, I saw a young woman with a rose and a guy's name on her lower leg. Wonder what happens when they break up. Pain and expense, ya think?

My step-Mom tried discouraging her 20-something year old nieces from getting tattoos by telling them she got a rose tattooed on her rump when she was their age and now it is a full dozen roses (with age, wrinkles, etc...)

I love that you are willing to lie just to give the group something to talk about!

BSM and I talked about having the baby's name and date of birth etched into my skin, highlighting the stretch marks. They look like crap, why not make them into a badge of honor? But I heard they are testing a tattoo dye that fades away in 4-5 years. I like that idea - a trial run. So much cheaper than laser removal!

Well, I never thought of it as being willing to lie but rather as something to kid around about. Even considered that if I was going to see one of them, I'd get one of those decals.
Does she or doesn't she? Now I kind of feel bad.
(Not enough to write and say, "Okay, I'm lying." though.

The temporary dye sounds interesting. Also, correct about the non-tattoo being more radical. LOL

Maybe lie is too strong of a word - but I still love the idea of your tweaking the group's collective nose! I'm sure you shocked a few people.

Tell you what - if the temp dyes come out on the market, I'll post a pic of mine if you post a pic of yours! (why do I get the feeling everyone else will be laughing?)

Okay! Now, "tweaking" is a great word for what I think of it as,
especially since I was so quiet in highschool. Age does have the advantage of freeing up inhibitions. LOL.

Another thought would be a henna tattoo. I saw the greatest ones done at the state fair a couple of years back. A chemo patient had her whole head done and it was fabulous.

Yeah, suspect we'd be the talk of the boards. MOL

Nope. Don't have any. Don't like pain. Though now that I think about it really hard.......it couldn't hurt any worse than 2 c-sections did. LOL! But still I don't think I'll be getting any tattoos in my life-time.

Nope, no tattoos here, although I have a lot of friends who have at least one.

No, but even my husband expresses shock that I don't. I've had my share of fun in life, a tattoo would seemingly fit. (how to look like a freak at a Social Distortation concert circa 1990 - no tattoos and neat Republican hair - ohh! Scary!)

I thought about having my last name put on my foot years ago during a nasty crime wave - just in case.

BSM's family is nearly all in law enforcement, super religious, very uptight - and all of them (but hubby) have tats. Even his 64 year old aunt got one last year.

I beginning to believe NOT having a tattoo is pretty radical by current standards - kinda anti-extablishment.....

LOL! You may have a point with that!

No. I do have three piercings in my right ear though.

All in a row? or lobe, lobe, top of the ear?

Short and sweet...nope
