Now that I am older and hopefully wiser I have a few more tattoos but I just did not get inspired about something on a whim and head to the tattoo shop and get inked.

I had an idea for a tattoo design and I purchased some temporary tattoo paper, printed the design. Well times have really changed and anywhere you go today you will see boys and girls, men and women, young or old sporting a tattoo or two or three. Not too many years ago it seems tattoos were just for a select crowd like bikers and the fringes of society. Getting a tattoo is definitely a long term commitment and getting the wrong tattoo that you were inspired at the time to have applied can be a nightmare. Of course you can have a tattoo removed with laser surgery, but who wants to go through all that when you can apply a temporary tattoo and test it out to see if you can really live with it for your whole life time. Tattoos have become an incredible phenomenon today.

When I was in my late teens I was in Amsterdam, Holland and had the name of my favorite rock band tattooed on my arm, a few years later I was really sorry for making that decision.
