step i wanted one for my 40th this year my daughter also for her 18th this year but we didnt get round to it before hols. we would both like guardian angels, and mine would be on my lower back. i think its the rebel in me that makes me want one. my other choice would me kids initials in chinese on my ankles but never sure if id be conned and it may really say chicken fried rice, half the chinese community would laugh at me then

Had my tattoo done at the ripe old age of 55. The tattooist said "Are you sure you want it on your forarm, most ladies have it on the back of their shoulders". Listen I says If I'm paying all that money and going through all that pain I want it where I can see it. So thats how I have a Humming bird on my forearm. I do get some funny looks but I like it and it's part of me now. Julia

Steph, I'd love to get one. Not sure where to go though. I don't know of any decent tattooists round here. I would like 3 stars - for my 2 children and my hubbie. Also my name means star. I think I'd have it on my lower back. Estelle :-)

hi steph, i have a small tatoo on my lower back. (little red heart then chinese symbol for A for Adam my litle lad, then chinese symbol for R for Richard my husband then a little red heart, going across not down. We lost a baby last year so I am going to add to this by having a flower stem with a rose bud on the top going through the middle of the chinese symbols.

hi there, they are addictive arent they? if i was you i'd go with your first instinct! if you really want another one, then get it done. I was dubious about having one cos of the pain! i was scared but i went through with it and had a chinese symbol that one didn't hurt, and it was in black, HOWEVER, i had another, a heart, in COLOUR and that did??? funny thing that. I'm not put off tho as im wanting another done with the kids names on, BUT instead, im booked in to have my belly button pierced as i've always wanted it done, (ouch!) on my birthday and im scared cos ive never had a piercing done, ive got 14 days left and i dont know what to do :-(

Sally- go 4 it, i had my belly button done and it was fine- i was really nervous as well though!!!

Steph no it didn't hurt i am waiting to have it done again

ok luv i'll be brave. altho so much for my cousin's boyfriend's vote of confidence he's got piercings everywhere and when i mentioned it to him, does it hurt etc? this weekend whilst we were away at their house with rest of family, he says 'nah but its ok for 14year olds with flat tummys etc but when you've had kidsit all tends to sag a little' !!! thanks! ive only got a bit of a tum, ive had 3 sections and its bl***y hard getting shut at 32. My mates belly button got infected. what do they actually do when having it pierced? x

how charming of him- its ok, my tum aint esactly toned!!! My mum has hers done aswell and she reckons her tum is more like a kangaroos pouch! lol!! I had to stand there while he cleaned it, then he put a dot on where it was going to be pierced, then froze it then he clamped it (that didnt hurt at all) then i lied down and he quickly stuck it through- i didnt watch it i couldnt bare to, im so pathetic with pain- im the worst but im telling you the truth, it didnt hurt me!!xx
