My rule is: I'll get a tattoo when I think of one that I'll still think is cool every decade hence.

I have yet to get a tattoo.

Though current candidates:

  • children's names
  • family crest

Honestly, family crest feels like a solid choice.

We don't have one so that's out for me, and although my kids are my world, I don't feel the inclination to get 'em tattooed on me.

Is the crest a classy design? If so I'd say go for it.

Yeah nah. They're the current pair of best ideas, but not quite enough to want them permanently embedded in my skin.

Also, tattoos (here) disqualify you from donating blood... so there is a significant downside.

I get it. I have zero tattoos and plan on keeping it that way. For my generation that actually makes me more unique! Never understood the idea of having something permanently embedded, as you say, which is a good way of putting it. I can certainly appreciate the art, but I'd rather hang it on my wall that wear it forever.
