Why does it need meaning? They are usually for show so obviously theyre for aesthetic reasons mostly. Most are just designs the person likes. No meaning whatsoever.

Ones with true meaning should be discreet.

My liking depends totally on how good they look. Naff ones just make me cringe and pity the person.

I was going to answer to your post about the meaning but then I saw you made this one. I agree, as long as it's from your own imagination, it's cool because it still has a meaning, whether you want it or not. I drew mine but then I'm not a good draftsman so my friend helped me out but they still are from my mind.

Well then it will mean something to you because you designed it. That's what I meant, just getting a generic design would be totally meaningless and loads of other people would have the same. I'd want something personal to me that noone else would have

But then I believe I will end up with a dozen of them

Well it's generally frowned upon to get tats on the feet anyway, because the healing process takes much longer and obviously wearing socks and shoes can "smudge" the tat.

But a tat on the sole of the foot. OUCH!

Who says it's all for show ? To me it isn't. I wanted my tattoos because I needed to. And plus, I've made them in covered places because not only it's not something to "show off" but also because of my work. And there are more people who do that than you think, the "I want to get a tattoo because it's hot" people annoy me because they'll probably end up regretting it. A tattoo is personal.

Not that fussed.. don't think I'll ever get one though. They look great on some people but o others they usually look a bit tacky, especially the big ott tatoos or having lots in the same place. They usually look better on men I think, the ones my ex has are so hot.

I really don't get people who tattoo their names on themselves or their date of births.. so stupid, haha!

As long as they don't look tacky I don't mind them

Why should ones with meaning be discreet? So that if they look naff the person doesn't have to have the almighty pitying them?

some of mine that have meaning you wouldnt know unless i told you what they were the meaning is personnal to me as the person wearing the art i have various different meanings and reasons behind some of mine

Well yeah Enid,designing them is the same as them meaning something. It's not going into a shop and thinking one is pretty or cool or whatever and getting it.

My tattoos I designed myself, have no real meaning to them. They don't represent anything, they don't have any story to 'em. I just think they look awesome.

I have one. I had it done many many years ago. Never regretted having it done and it has kept its colour well. I don't see anything wrong in them. It's up to the individual.
