Giggirl, I totally agree... I don't think I will have mine for life purely because when you get older the ink spreads and it starts to look really messy. But that's my choice to get the tattoos in the first place, I knew the risks I was taking when I sat in the chair. I have seen some amazing pieces that are works of art. Some people think it's tacky etc, but it's really not a cheap hobby. A friend of mine has a sleeve and it cost him ?3000 and still not finished! And Narnia, no I don't, but hey, I'm not the know it all around here.
