I love this idea... I know of this girl who plans to write her immediate family's names ... Maybe that is why women got their husbands and fathers names tattooed in the past :))<BR/>I will just take a look at the link you have provided.<BR/><BR/>@Rat How's Peace or Pisces? Sounds nice ...??? I want something simple to avoid any errors, there are no erasers in tattoo art!<BR/><BR/>@Mamma mia! Me a mamma? LOL It just stopped there, I think either my mom has forgotten about it or she is thinking I have forgotten :)<BR/><BR/>@D LOL ...Yeah, tough time she had:)<BR/><BR/>@Crafty Shines - Peace/Pisces ... please advise!Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123689684509240568.post-38429125220268105022009-03-15T20:48:00.000+05:302009-03-15T20:48:00.000+05:30@Aathira It seems it is not painful, she said it w...@Aathira It seems it is not painful, she said it wasn't painful for her. Maybe it hurts in some places, arms and all should be fine, and easy :)<BR/><BR/>@Usha Pisharody Yes she had to speak to the men in the house!! She did think it was a calamity and was sure she would be able to make the daughter come back home if she could speak to her, but her grandson was so relived his sister didn't have her old phone number :)<BR/>The two siblings are a great team, loyal and always united against all dictatorship attempts :)<BR/><BR/>@Angel's Flight -Yes it was hilarious!<BR/><BR/>@Dew Drop Dream Nothing very interesting, some floral design ...but I am glad she likes it :)<BR/><BR/>@Wordjunkie Yeah ... I do plan to post photos ... :)<BR/><BR/>@How do we know -LOL nothing, her tattoo has healed completely, and mine is still under planning stage!<BR/><BR/>@Hitchwriter I also worry about the permanent part!!! it's like nose piercing or ear piercing, once done, you live with it!!<BR/><BR/>@Monika OH my God FOUR tattoos, that's what my daughter, says, it is addictive, you have one, there is every chance that you will have more! <BR/><BR/>@Tarun Goel :)<BR/><BR/>@Bones This guy used a kit, sealed and packed, and with instructions and some cream (vitamin A & D cream) and you also get to take your needle home... and it seems safe. A bit like ear piercing ...<BR/>Not painful on your arms at least, also depends on our tolerance levels... I guess!<BR/><BR/>@Phoenixritu Wow!!! I'd love to read about your experience PLEASE and pictures if possible too!! Nape of neck might hurt, but is convenient if yo wish to not show, just leave your hair lose :) A cousin chose her back for the convenience of being able to hide or show as required!<BR/><BR/>@Solilo :) Read it, LOVED it :)<BR/><BR/>@Surbhi This girl is petrified of needles otherwise, but braved all the discomfort for a tattoo :) I plan to get a Pisces or a Peace sign ... <BR/>Nani accepts everything if son-in-law approves :)<BR/><BR/>@Chirag LOL :)) No not irritating Nani at all, she has accepted or forgotten about it already! <BR/>The idea of a blogging about our tattoos is great, please do post about yours, when you get one!!

We know tattoos were extremely common in India earlier also. <BR/>Today we only hate them because they symbolise 'modern'.

Sounds good??<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>@Rakesh I have always wanted a Peace sign! Sometimes I think that might look kind of more for guys kind of thing, so maybe a Pisces sign, but a peace is less complicated and less likely to come out untidy! <BR/><BR/>Yes I agree it is going to stay so one must be sure it will not be something we start hating after a while...<BR/> please, PLEASE do a post on your tattoo, with pictures!<BR/>-I am sure we will all love to read that one!<BR/><BR/>@Smita Mom is refusing to discuss this, I think she is hoping I will forget about it!Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123689684509240568.post-77803639698897942222009-03-15T19:12:00.000+05:302009-03-15T19:12:00.000+05:30@memyhubbynbaby Yes it seems to be a fad, and one ...@memyhubbynbaby Yes it seems to be a fad, and one thought I have is when so many people will get bored of their tattoos what will they do!!<BR/>But then I thought the same for three ear piercings and nose piercings too :)<BR/><BR/>@Ramya And the Bai says now they don't get tattoos because of fear of AIDS.<BR/><BR/>@Feminist Review Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>@Mavin I asked the same questions at first, but she seemed convinced, and still went twice and came back! So I knew she was very sure she wanted it... <BR/>I am always the wary one, last to colour my hair, last to get nose piercing, never use chemicals, ... I feel a peace/Pisces tattoo on upper arm could be fun.<BR/>A temporary one is not the same thing...
