* How did you know you wouldn't regret it?
I just did. i fell in love with each of my 12 tattoos when i saw them

* Does anyone regret theirs?
Nope, not at all.

* Visible tattoos & job prospects - does anyone feel its prevented you from getting a job?
No hasnt stopped me from getting a job, but ive had to cover up the one on my wrist with a bracelet/watch etc.

* How do you find a reputable artist? Clean equipment etc. What to look for in a studio?
By talking to people who have tattoos in your area

* How does weight gain & weight loss affect it?
Not sure, all of mine are in 'non-fat' areas

* Where can i find inspiration for designs?
Tattoo Books, Internet, other peoples tattoos and also pics in tattoo shops.

* How do you think tattoos look on pale skin?
Fine, just the same as anyone else.

* Pain factor - how much did it hurt?
Yep it hurts, just depends on where you get it!! my most painful was the one down my spine *shudder*
But its a bearable pain.

* So its a pretty permanent thing, is there anything else i need to consider?
Dont get anything you are half hearted about.. they will be the ones you will most likely regret
HTH!
