Forum Discussion: First Tattoo Experiences

Sunday July 9, 2006
What was your first tattoo like? Was it a good experience? Do you still have that tattoo today? Our members are sharing the stories of their first tattoos. Here's some of the interesting comments already posted:
"The story behind getting the gecko is that I have had the nickname lizard since I was a kind and I am never going to get rid of it, so I figured what the hell, might as well get something to immortalize it.lol And well I think geckos are on the cuter side as far as lizards are concerned..lol" - lizardbit

"I was trying to find a permanent way to keep my dodem with me and didn't want to wear a charm because it might break off and fall, also my beadstitched jacket was good but it wasn't permanently with me. Duoy! the tattoo!!" - Gennaver

"It made me even more determined to get a second tattoo because I would be damned if my only tattoo experience was going to be that horrid. I now have 6." - quinnnchick
