3. When I think of tattoos, I think of hanging pics on the wall & never being able to change them.

4. I guess I don't object to reasonable limits on them, such as prohibiting

5. I have one...bortz would call it a tramp stamp, my hubby calls it sexy
it gives me a little pleasure to know that 1 I had the guts to do it and 2 that no one but my family knows about it and 3 my students would be suprised because I do not look like "one of those people"

I think its kind of cool
