Most couples with these "in the name of love" tattoos usually and often ended up in break ups. It's stupid and tattoos are ugly as you get old. However, I don't mind if my love one tattoo my name but I wouldn't. :P
My BIL has a huge tat on his chest that has my sisters name on it. I think it's beyond stupid. He's a good guy all, but whenever I see him without his shirt on I just roll my eyes. It's definitely cringeworthy.
I think I'm the only 30 year old person I know who doesn't have a tattoo. I've never seen the appeal of them, it's crazy how many women were turned off because I didn't have any when I dated. My girlfriend has a few, but they're all hidden and pretty small. No Ex boyfriend names thankfully. Haha.
Honestly I wish I could remove mine. I only have two, one on my ankle and one just below my right collarbone. I got them when I was 17 and 22, respectively, and before everyone and his/her mother had them. Now I know 40 year old mothers who keep getting tattoos. I don't understand it. I can see if they genuinely see a work of art so beautiful that they want to get it tatttooed on them, or if it has such sentimental value that they must have it on their skin, but most of them are just your regular butterfly/dolphin/heart whatever. It's like they think they will remain cool if they keep getting ink, when really it's plain vanilla at this point.

If it was plain vanilla, people wouldn't freak out over tattoos or say negative things about people just because they have tattoos.
I know a ton of people who got tattoos young who wish they could get rid of them. You can! Or, you could find a talented artist and have them covered with a good tattoo that means something to you as a more mature adult.
I got my first tattoo when I was 36. Not because I thought it would make me seem younger or any of that mess because I never had age issues. I still don't and I'm 47 now.
I got mine then because that's about the time I realized what sort of tattoo I could get and enjoy. One that would have meaning to me. My first husband had 9 tattoos (some very large) and we got married when I was 24, so I'd spent years considering getting a tattoo.
Unfortunately, the artist wasn't very good and it aged poorly. I knew that would happen right after I had it done. When I was 43, I had a better artist tattoo something over it that was a variation on the same theme. That tattoo is gorgeous here years later, and it has grown until it covers most of my calf (it was on my ankle). It's quite huge, but I love it. It's not flash stuff. It was all drawn right onto my leg by a talented artist.
I have another that was drawn in advance that's on my back. Covers about 1/3 of my back, maybe? Close to that.
I can hide mine easily in business clothes. I don't have any butterflies or whatever. I mean, nothing against butterflies, but flash isn't my thing.
No matter your age, crappy tattoos are crappy tattoos. And poor placement is poor placement.
People need to think before they get inked.

I'm not freaking out. I stand by my statement. It absolutely is plain vanilla to follow a trend with the intention of thinking that you are a "nonconformist."
You obviously aren't the type of person I mean, so I'm not sure why you left the snarky winky face?

On what planet is winking being snarky? Also, who accused you of freaking out?
It just struck me as funny. Tattoos may be more mainstream now than they were 20 years ago, but they're hardly as common as pierced ears, for example.
I think they've not reached "vanilla" yet. Though, I enjoy vanilla and never understood the use of it to indicate blandness.

I've got a tattoo that symbolizes my compatibility issues with Libras. I always get asked what it means, which has been a good ice breaker of sorts. Would never put someone's name on my body. A few years ago, I had a tattooed covered, which I don't remember getting, or know what it's supposed to represent.....think hard before getting any tat on yourself....ask anyone with tribal tats...lol

Go to Denver/CO. EVERYONE has one. I didn't notice it as much in other areas. It doesn't bother me at all, I just won't get one on myself. I can't really think of anything I'm passionate enough about to get it inked on my body!
My girlfriend has some cute tats, and she really likes them. She doesn't want any more though.
