Fifty-eight percent of you said you're
are turned on by tattoos and although just as many women get them as men, a
study published earlier this week concluded that women remove tattoos more often than men. The 2006 study in the Archives of Dermatology said: Women also reported that they felt stigmatized by the tattoos. For example, 93 percent said having to hide the tattoos on occasion was a factor in the removal compared with 20 percent of men.

We see celebrities showing their affection for loved ones in various ways all the time. Some go so far to make their statement permanent, Angelina Jolie and Melanie Griffith to name a few, while others take the safe route, opting for things far less binding like Madonna and Paris Hilton. Since Hollywood relationships are so volatile, one would think these celebs would have learned their lesson by now, but I guess not — new tattoos are popping up every day.

For your one-year anniversary, you and your boyfriend have a romantic night planned. You’ve completely gussied yourself up for the occasion: you got your nails done, bought a new dress, and had a friend do your hair and makeup.
When you get back from a very nice dinner, you guys decide to exchange gifts.

Tattoos hurt and they're permanent, and these are two very good reasons that I don't have any - but that's not to say that I don't appreciate them! I totally respect the fact that they often represent an idea, a person, a memory, a place, a special date, or are just an artistic design a person has a connection with or loves.
The fact still remains that I am a huge wimp when it comes to pain and needles -- I can't even deal with one shot of Novocaine -- so I'm sure I would go absolutely ballistic if I got a tattoo.
