Hi all. There have been some recent threads (and others revived) about tats and I have a question. I've seen some wonderful tats here and in the "real" world but can't for the life of me understand how anyone can decide on something that is permanent on their body.

What happens if you get tired of it? Tattoo removal is painful and not always so successful.

Mind you I'm not afraid of a needle; I have several piercings but cannot imagine getting a tat when I'm sure that I would change my mind in a month or two.

So the question is I suppose, how do you decide on what to get?
