Tattoos have been an important part of culture since practically forever. Although in today's time they have shifted to be more of an individual meaning rather than cultural one, people are still hooked. I know I am, and I just got my first one! Injecting ink into the dermis, however, is not that easy, so tattoo guns tend to sting a little(or a lot... depending on what you get and where) when they are being applied. I guess though, that I prefer this method over any other crazy method like burning or scarring... :s A tattoo is permanent, but at least it looks like art and not just body mutilation. Anyway, I'm rambling now, aren't I? I'm just really excited about my first tattoo.
How do you feel about tattoos in general?
Do you have any tattoos? What of? What do they mean? If not, why not? And what do you want, if anything?
Did it hurt getting the tattoo? If you don't have one, do you think that it will?

How do you feel about tattoos in general? I have no issue. I think that they are pretty cool and if someone wants one, who really cares? I really dislike all the discrimination that surrounds getting inked, but I guess I deal with it by knowing that I am not one of those people doing the discrimination. They definitely need more acceptance in the work place, but its not really THAT big of a deal, especially compared to the other social issues that perturb me.
Do you have any tattoos? What of? What do they mean? If not, why not? And what do you want, if anything? I just got my first one like yesterday. It is a pure red flamel--which, if you are a fan of FMA, you will recognize as the tattoo upon Izumi's collarbone or the design emblazoned on Edward's coat. While it happens to be a similar symbol, my tattoo does not have the crown or wings, which is my way of saying that while FMA has it, the symbol is not particularly from it. A flamel was one of the symbols that Nicolas Flamel, the Father of Alchemy, had inscribed on his grave. Bearing a crucified snake nailed to cross, it represents "fixing the volatile" which is a step necessary to Alchemists who want to construct mercury's elixir.
Did it hurt getting the tattoo? If you don't have one, do you think that it will? It hurt in that it was a tattoo, but it honestly wasn't that bad. With the way that my mom, sisters, and friends handled getting theirs... I was expecting waaaaaaaaaaaay worse. I'm not gonna lie, there are times when it hurt, but it was definitely a mangeable pain. It wasn't some excruciating ailment that disabled me, but it also isn't something that I could sit pleasantly through. For my first tattoo though, the worst that happened is the pain made me curse :b
