Getting a tattoo

I had a mendhi (henna) tattoo done on my inside wrist when a cultural diversity day was held at work. That was fun. Sue you're right as long as they make you happy what does it matter. I don't like the way my pierced ears have aged, my lobes have lost their 'bounce'

Grannyknot, I think it's true to say that earlobes do lengthen as one ages. I mostly wear small studs rather than big jangly ones, though I do have a few of these for special occasions.

[sob] I used to have such dainty ears. I never wear heavy earrings in case I end up at the cosmetic surgeon's getting my lobes trimmed. I do believe that's an option.

Ears definatly grow larger as we age . ho hum

Especially men's! (Or at least it seems so....I expect it's because of the lack of hair)

So do noses

Not as much as ears

Presumably if someone's had a nose job theirs won't keep on growing - so Tom Jones, Cilla Black et al will just have big ears!

I have a tattoo on the inside if my left wrist. It simply says Tommy but it means something very personal and dear to me.

That is nice Nanadogbody .

nanadb now that I can understand ...

Hello - Really enjoying reading different reactions to my Tattoo post

As Grannyknot says I really dont enjoy the process but for me its the final outcome that i like.

nannad I too have a tattoo at the base of my neck/top of my back,a star with 4shooting stars coming from it with each of my children's names on it,very personal to me also as two of them are no longer herexxxxx

I have a feeling that the idea ears keep on growing through life is a myth.

No thank you! I can't imagine why anyone would want one.

littlenellie we're singing off the same hymn sheet. janthea that's sad.

janthea each to their own,but sometimes it is a personal statement,I am proud to bear the name of my children,but I can see your point as I say each to their own,if you where to meet with me you wouldn't see it,unless I chose to show you.When I was working tattoos were not acceptable and needed to be covered,my other one a butterfly small and discreet on my shoulder is for me...because I wanted it...
