I’m seeing a trend here. Maybe I should just get the damn tattoo…
What do you think?

Is the fake one just a random crackerjack kind or one you are seriously considering? What is it supposed to mean?
Personally, I’m not into tattoos and don’t have any, but go for it. If you need an artist, my little brother does them for a living, but he’s down in Richmond and I suspect you’d rather find someplace local.
I think you are skinny and I’m jealous! No need for any enhancements – just wear that body around and be proud, sister!
Tattoo or not, this photo is stunning!
skip the tattoo… it’s going to look stupid when you’re in the old folks home…
They’ll tell you that tattoo means something like “Courage” but what if it really means something like “Sucker”?
Although I am not a “tattoo” person I am thinking that you “just do it”. When I was 35, I got my belly button pierced. What possessed me to do that I will never know. Just beware, the kiddies might want one too (I have teenagers and my son came home the other night with his ears pierced without permission much to my dismay
NOTE: His ears are very sore from us “yanking” them out.
Just some words of wisdom from a 40 something.
Get the tattoo! I want another SO badly but can’t think of exactly what it is I want to get. Get the tattoo. Did I say that already?
What is it with the painted lady syndrome? Love you, but I just don’t get it. I’m with Ladybug on this one – my thought is we just age gracefully with dignity (said the girl who celebrated the 6th anniversary of her 29th birthday).
I think the tattoo is cool although I think it would look better if it was on your wrist rather than up where it is. However, I have no idea what it means.
Could you do it? I couldn’t! I always picture being 85 years old and wonder what the nurses at the convalescent hospital will think about me.
I too, think you are skinny and it is not fair…
As to the physical post… just think what it is like at 56.
I think the nurses at the convalescent hospital will probably have their own ink and think yours is cool. Plus, plan to be really senile by the time you’re sent there so you won’t care what they think. Do it! (says the 57 year old planning to get a dragon tat on her shoulder/back)
I’m all for tattoos. Obviously. My rule is that I have to want a design for a year before I get it. That way I know it’s not just a passing fancy.
If you were coming to BlogHer, we could go to the tattoo place together as part of the deal that Mr. Lady set up. I wouldn’t get a new one, just a touch up, but I would go with you and tell them to tattoo Barbie on your ass.
Tattoos scare the crap out of me, but I do like them on other people. So I say go for it!
I say go for it. You only live once and the good thing about getting on your inner arm is that’s the one part of your body that will still look good when you’re 85. Just don’t go for a full sleeve.
If you cropped out that edge of the towel bar, I wouldn’t have to KNOW you’re in the bathroom, bwa-ha-ha-ha!
You know I love tattoos, I have 7 including the Harley-Davidson bar & shield & I’ve never been sorry one day in my life. When you’re old & ugly & wrinkled, what’s a little wrinkly ink gonna make a difference on your wrinkly, varicosed-vein skin, huh? I figure at that point I’ll cover up even more (and I cover up more now than when I was 30, and I covered up more at 30 than I did when I was 20, it’s the natural order of HAVING GOOD TASTE) but I won’t do it just to cover my tats, it’s to cover my skin in general!
However, I just don’t get the Chinese tattoo’s that have been big for a while now. I mean, if you’re of Chinese heritage & can read what it says, fine. And I’m all into Chinese proverbs & feng shui & all that stuff is very cool, but seriously -
If you’re not Chinese, why not get a tattoo in a language you can read?
You are an attractive woman. You don’t need to join the herd mentality to be unique because you already are. Skip the ink and flaunt your individuality. 55, male, and glad I never got one. Women without tats are beginning to be a rare commodity, and an increasingly sexy sight, IMHO. Your call.
What’s with all the advice about worrying what your tattoo will look like when your old? Don’t make any decisions based on how you’ll feel about it when your 85. You may be dead by then anyway. Live in the present!
That’s a pretty bad-ass picture. I wouldn’t screw with you!
Fake tattoo or no – you look hot.
