It is huge and just looks sort of tacky. I see beautiful young ladies in beautiful gowns, and then they turn around and you see a huge tattoo and it just spoils the image, for me anyway. My daughter always wanted a rose over her breast when she was young. Now she laughs about where it would be and how it would look now that she is older and sagging. LOL I think what bothers me most aabout them, it seems that for so many, once you have one, they can't seem to stop getting more and more. My GS x-girlfriend started with one on her shoulder, a very small and nice one, , and now she has them on her arms, legs, boobs, stomach, hips and back, and each time she seemed to go bigger and bigger. But, to each their own thing. The idea of one small one doesn't turn me off, but I hate seeing large ones and lots of them on ladies.

I read Dewie's response and it reminded me I don't need anymore needles in my life or ink under my skin.
