I have three, one on my shoulder blade, one on my left ankle and the other one on my left breast.They are all fairly small

Beleive it or not I actually got them all to cover up dots and crosses etc, that I did to myself in art class with indian ink, back in high school.

Now admittedly if I had my time again I would probably chose not to have them, but as I hate to live with any regrets, they really don't cause me any major stress.

My hubby has both of his lower legs covered from the knee down and I just love them. They really are a beautiful peice of artwork, be it a very expensive piece!

So, what are your veiws on tatoos, do you like them, hate them, have them?

And I'd be interested to know if anyone would know what to look for in a chart re; tattoos, if this is at all possible.

Just another crazy question that entered my brainbox

When I was in Portland for a few weeks this spring I saw the perfect tatt (the sanskrit ideogram "maya") and I decided where I'd like to get it (at the base of my spine), I just have to work up the courage and the cash to get it...and the hope that I won't second guess it down the line.
But, with my Aqua moon and 1st house Uranus I'll probably come down on its side.

StarLover, your explanation about the Aquarian planets makes sense

Hubby has an Aquarius Asc, and Merc and Venus in Aqua and I have Venus in Aqua, plus 3 planets in the 11th house

Our son is having his eyebrow peirced today !
Two years of nagging has finally paid off
No Aqua planets for him, just lots of Leo, Sun, Merc and Mars!

Star's explanation does make sense : I have a celtic moon on my ankle and my husband has a tattoos on both his arms. He is aquarius sun and I have aquarius rising. I just wish it wasn't so expensive, then I'd have a lot more!

Hubby's legs look awesome, but they certainly came at a cost !!

My son who just had his eyebrow pierced is a Leo sun also, as well as Mercury and Mars there too! I just Love Leo's, they make me laugh.

Most tattoo shops would be able to draw you up a design freehand, if you can afford it.

Did you get yours done in Southeast Portland? I had mine done out there by a guy name Diamond. He was great..cute too. LOL

Must be something out Portland and Tattoos.

I guess I should add that I have a Virgo rising conjuncting my Virgo Pluto and I also have a Capricorn Mercury. The only air sign in my chart is my Uranus - Libra in the first house.

For people my age (Pluto in Scorpio), it is really common to have tattoos, so I don't think "conservative" sign placements have a lot to do with it. My Cap Sun/Virgo Rising/Virgo moon bff has several, same with a friend of mine who is a double Cap/Virgo moon. As soon as you turn 18, it's kind of like a rite of passage. I only have one, that I got on my 18th birthday. I'm an Aqua sun. I want more, but I haven't gotten around to it. I want the symbol for Mercury (chart ruler) behind one of my ears, and a tiara made out of bones (haven't decided where to put it yet) or a space unicorn (lol).

The first one I got was when I was 16 and Im' 23 now.

I've never done it due to a fashion thing. It's painful to see ppl who get them just cause everyone does.
Besides in my country wasn't something common for a teenager to have one back in that time.
Just then it became a fashion thingy.

I regards tattoos as a whole map in my body. Every single one of them represent something VERY important for me..a moment of time, a thought, an expression of an idea or feeling.
