Most of us can agree that tattoos seem to be the symbol of 'hipness' du jour. Old and young, Black and White are sporting tattoos of varying colours, styles and meanings. I have nothing against them personally, but I swear that some people just wake up and decide to get a tattoo without any proper thought of what they're permanently stamping on their bodies. Where they place these tattoos is another eyebrow raiser.
Anyhoo, I decided to come up with 10 do's and don'ts for sporting tattoos:

- Do keep it simple, stupid! Thinking big is usually an admirable quality, but not necessarily when you're getting a tattoo. How many times have you seen an oversized lower back tattoo (also known as the 'tramp stamp') peering out from under a lady's top and wonder what the heck she was thinking? Simple is always better.

- Don't tattoo your breasts! There are hundreds of women walking around Barbados right now with all kinds of designs on their chests, and I wonder if they know that gravity ain't a female's friend. Besides, that can't be good for the breasts at all.

- Find out what tattoo symbols mean. That Sanskrit or Kanji symbol might look real cool on your shoulder blade or ankle, but I don't think you'd be too happy if you found out its meaning was 'moron'.

- Don't get multiple, multi-coloured tattoos. This picture says it all. She looks like she was mutilated.

- Don't place multiple tattoos on one limb, especially on a leg. It looks like you have a skin disease.

- Women, please don't place tattoos on your upper arms, 'cause you look butch as wuh. Unless that's the look you're going for....

- Never tattoo your boyfriend's/girlfriend's name on your body. Partners come and go but tattoos remain, unless you can afford painful laser surgery. Even the Tattoo Queen herself, Angelina Jolie, learnt this the hard way, erasing her ex-husband Billy Bob's name from her arm after their divorce. Don't tattoo your own name on yourself either. Unless you're in the habit of forgetting it....
8. Never tattoo curse words on your body. You'd think this was a given, but alas, no. Remember, you won't be a rebellious 20-something forever; at some point you might care what other people think of you.

- No offence, but don't bother with a tattoo if your skin tone is very dark. The tattoos are barely visible and coloured tattoos on dark skin tones look extra weird.

- Men, tattoos won't transform you instantly into a macho stud. There's nothing sadder than a guy with biceps like ping-pong balls with huge tats plastered on his arms. Try hitting the weight room instead.

tattooing doesn't hurt breasts any more than it hurts any other part of the body. if you are going to make a statement outside of your own opinion, make sure you look it up next time.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I disagree with almost every single one of yours & I know more people would probably disagree with you than actually agree with you. Tattooing is about SELF expression. Not expressing what others might like. It's all about being original & different. It doesn't matter where or what. If it's what you want then by all means go for it. I'm a small female. I'm 5'3" 115lbs & I have 7 tattoos with plans on more. I have 1 that starts on the back of my right shoulder then goes through the middle of my back then curves back around my side onto the front of my lower right hip. It's a very large, very detailed, black & white tattoo w/ tribal thorns, stars, & latin words in it. Even with that & my other 6 tattoos I still do catalog & art modeling. Photographers LOVE my tattoos. So maybe being an amateur at the art of tattoos yourself you should look more into it. I'm currently learning to do tattoos also & your little blurb about how "simple" it is - well you just should do A LOT more research before you start blabbering on a site that many people can read. It makes you look like that kanji tattoo you have under "don'ts" - MORON!
Well as it happens I do agree with most of what he is saying. Most of it is common sense. Why would anyone want a tattoo that looks like a mess or one that you cant see? Actually most people I would have to say get tattoos because their friends have them and/or because everyone has them, people try to hard now a days to be like able to everyone else they don't care what they get put on them. Everyone is so common with the star tattoos, tramp stamps, jokers,skulls etc. no one is original when it comes to tattoos not a lot of people anyways. if you want something original you're better off not getting a tattoo at all.
