I've never put myself through the pain of getting a tattoo, but if I ever make the decision, it won't be of something stupid. Being "tatted" is something that lasts forever. Not a stinging hobby to cure boredom.

One thing that really gets on my nerves is when people get names tatted on them that aren't permanent fixtures in their lives. I'm not going to put the name of a boyfriend on 3 weeks on my skin, not even a boyfriend of 3 years. Things can change.

Someone related to you, I'd be more comfortable with. Your mother is always going to be your mother, and your son is always going to be your son.

Getting walls of color, words, and images that don't mean anything bothers me as well. If you're dumb enough to print something meaningless on your body chances are you won't have the money to get it removed when you realize what you've done.

If you must get a tattoo, be smart about it and get something significant. And if you have doubts, ask somebody else.

Seriously, do people not realize that these things are supposed to last forever?
