3/3     I'd like to see a poll on the average time it takes someone to
        regret a tatoo.
        \_ When they get re-programmable tatoos, the old ones will seem kind of
           lame, although if some fucker put one with ads and DRM it could
           lead to a whole new kind of trouble.
        \_ I got my first back in...99?  Still no regrets -- I actually want
           to add to it.                        -mice
        \_ A friend of mine wanted tats at 16 but her mom said she'd regret it
           at 30, so she waited until she was 30 to get her first. :-)
        \_ I got my tattoo when I was 19, 34 now and I still like it. It is
           rather large but it is on my back so it doesn't show at work and
           such.
        \_ I think it varies for male vs female and (esp for female) where you
           put the tats. Those who opted for front stomach/under belly prior
           to pregnancy will surely drive up the numbers. Those who gets it on
           the upper back would most likely be the happiest of the bunch.
        \_ A friend of mine got a couple of little tattoos (ankles), and 12
           years later still has no regrets.        -mice
           years later she has no regrets.        -mice
           years later she still has no regrets.        -mice
        \_ My brother has complete sleeves and a big one on his chest, too.
           Whether he regrets it or not depends on his mood and what's
           going on in life. He worked for a straight-laced company and
           he regretted it big-time. Now he works for a place where lots
           of guys have tattoos and he's happier about it. He did tell his
           ex-girlfriend not to get sleeves, too, but she did it anyway.
           So I think if he had to do it all over he wouldn't do it, because
           they are there even on days you wish they weren't.
           \_ Duh. Plus you can't change it. You can put on some different
              clothes, get a new haircut, but that tat is just there.
              To me tats are "hi i'm an idiot" signs.
              \_ whereas in your case you'd need to open your mouth for
                 people to know that.  -tom
                 \_ Heh, that's pretty funny.  You are rough company, Mr.
                    Holub.
                 \_ Whereas tom always makes sure to announce it loud and
                    clear.
                    \_ hey, who got the saarp brain [sic] transplant?  -tom
