Tattoos. Where do you stand on them?

Unless a tattoo was on the bottom of my foot I wouldn't be standing anywhere on Tattoos =p

*Ahem* Well seriously regarding this: I want to get a tattoo but I have a bad fear of needles (Belonophobia)

Even if I manage to get around that, I have to deal with two other issues:
1. What kind of tattoo, and where? (I'm terribly Indecisive at these kinds of things)
2. How much would it cost?

So... I don't know. I think they're a great form of expression though.

How ya doing, buddy?

Im sure someone who has gotten a tattoo could verify the information on the site.

Thanks for that, it did give me a bit of relief. Maybe I'll get one in a couple months or so.

1. That is something you'll have to decide for yourself. I got mine on my back because I can't have them anywhere on my arms or legs if I'm going to be an elementary school teacher.

2. Your average tattoo should cost around $60 and up* depending on the shop you go to, the quality/rep of the shop, how big your tattoo is and if its colored (I think this last one is a factor, but I only got black ink for mine). I believe my tattoos cost me $80 each (Tips are expected where I got mine).

*prices guessed upon how much the local shops charge around my hometown.

$60 is the low price that I've heard as well. It might cost a bit more but I'm going to go to a good rep/quality shop because, hey if I'm getting a freakin NEEDLE put into my body, I want the people and location to be somewhere I want to go.

I still have no ideas as to what kind of tattoo, but as for location I was thinking maybe my upper arm or maybe my leg.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
