What's the appeal of tattoos? Why do people permanently mark their bodies with words, images, and logos of stuff they were into at the moment?
There is no permanently.This life ends, and the tattoos I bear will decompose along with the skin above them and the muscle below.Why would someone in their 20’s write down their thoughts and feelings, or create any art, knowing they will not think or feel that way in their 30’s or 50’s or 80’s… using a bunch of words/phrases/images/logos that will 100% change in meaning to them as they mature into their adult life?Does it matter that the canvas is their skin and not YouTube? What you express there is “permanently” part of how you are perceived too.My mother got her 1st tattoo in her 50’s, a wonderful piece containing several symbols that have been important to her since she was your age.My wife and I have our wedding bands worn on our fingers, and tattooed around our forearms as well.Why do people get married? Why do they want to be together “forever”?This life is a brief breath, and unless your religion says tattoo will ruin you in the afterlife or there is social judgement here on earth, I see no reason why you should not get any tattoos you want, dress how you want, speak how you want, and seek out what brings you the most joy and satisfaction.When I was in my early 20’s, I was worried about getting ink… what if I could not get jobs, or attract women, because of how they would perceive me? Who you are is there beneath the skin. Genuine. That 20 year old self is inside the 30 year old, the 50 year old, the 80 year old… like rings in a tree.(also, laser removal is really good these days! A wonderful tattooist told a group about how he was on his third set of full-arm sleeves. He loved getting tattoos from the artists he worked alongside all over the world, and whenever he ran out of room, he had all but his favorites removed and began again!!!I never regret my tattoos, but FREQUENTLY regret not more enthusiastically embracing life-as-it-was-happening, for fear of what tomorrow might bring.
Need some help with a rememberance tattoo !?
I am planning on getting a tattoo in memory of a couple of friends that recently passed away very sudden in an accident. I was planning on getting it on the back of my neck so it could be easily hidden and I was thinking of a little quote or saying with the date of death. I like forever loved, forever missed and RIP but I want something a bit different and orginally .. Since their death was very sudden I liked the quote "live each moment like your last" or "never let go" or "you never really left.." .. i am free to opinions and i might even go with that one ! thanks !
Can you donate blood months after having surgery?

(also, i had an epidural when i gave birth in June '08) i want to donate blood but someone told me i wouldn't be able to because of the anesthetic or something. is that true or can i still donate blood?
