Most women got silver charms but those who could afford it got gold charms. Today charm bracelets are passe and people commemorate important events in their lives with meaningful tattoos.

Tattoos don't get lost or misplaced like charm bracelets so at least they have an advantage there.
A charm bracelet can become an heirloom where the only way tattoo's can become heirlooms is to skin you and tan your hide to hang on the wall.

Now there's a thought!

Boy, it sure would be a shame if you got so upset over somebody else's tattoo on their skin that you burst a blood vessel.

I have faith tatted on my left shoulder to remind me that I have faith in God and release all of my worries to Him. When I am ready to give up on something, I think of what faith truly means.

Yea,so I've learned. Never knew that a tattoo determined someone's personality...

To that I would say, never judge a book by its cover.

Another point, who would someone go through all that pain to get something that they didn't want or like or means something to THEM?

Tattoos are getting overdone IMO. They were cute when it was a small heart or something on an ankle or shoulder but dang a whole panorama across the chest and back. Skull and bones on a woman's chest. I don't get the message. Perhaps it's look at my tattoos but don't look at me or take me seriously. At least, that is the message I get.
