1) If you have a tattoo, do you remember how you decided you wanted to get your first one?

2) Was it a spur of the moment thing? Or was it something you thought about for a while?

3) How did you decide where to get it?
1. I actually wanted the song lyric that became my first tattoo on my headstone Then I realised I wanted to be around for people to comment, and it would be too far in the future anyway, so I decided on a tattoo instead. I'd always thought about getting one, and for years planned to get a massive back piece, but once I grew up a little I thought that was a bad idea.

2. My first wasn't, I thought about that for about a year before taking the plunge. The second definitely was, and I regret that. The third, Ianto's one, I started designing a few days after he was born and got it done a little under a month later.

3. First and second - went with what the "artist" suggested. I wish I could move them, I don't think the first is visible enough and the second is far too visible for my liking. For the third, I knew of want to get a similar tattoo for each of my kids, so it had to be somewhere large and visible - my torso seemed the logical place, and I wasn't going to get my boobs and stomach done! So it had to be my back.
