    I don't have a quilt tatto but I do have a tatto. It is not as bad as it seems. Yes it hurt some but it was bearable. My mind made it way worse than it is.

    You can give blood after having a tat. You just have to wait a certain length of time before you can give. I give all the time. My tat is 30 years old.

    Never!!!!! Can't understand anyone who does get one. Especially all these people who are in the process of covering their body.I like my clean perfect skin color and will keep it that way.

    I got my first tattoo when I was 32. My father was fine with it but my BFF's father had a fit. He asked me "What are you going to do when you are 80 and in a nursing home?" My reply was that I would be an 80 yo woman in a nursing home with a tattoo!



    I too have worked as a nurse in a nursing home and no, tattoos don't age well. I don't really think having a tattoo is about how it will look when you are old. It is an expression of the individual and what does it really matter what a tattoo looks like when you are old. Some people don't age well either!!![/quote]

    Right on, girl! In the end people don't age well!
