tattoo?

I've never really been a big fan of tattoos. I think it has something to do with my grandma's tattoo. When she was sixteen she got a heart with her initials and my grandpa's initials on her shoulder. When I was younger, she kept it covered with a band-aide due to embaressment over the bleeding lines. However, ever since my grandfather passed away she has kept the band-aide off and will proudly display it for anyone who asks.

Now, tattoos are becoming more and more popular, but I'm still a bit unsure. I mean this is something that will literally be on your body until you are +86 years old, so it really better mean something to you. I have so many friends out there who are getting tattoos left and right without so much of a second thought. With shows like Miami ink, LA ink, and London ink catching my attention with their amazing tattoo artists, it makes me wonder that if I had a chance for an amazing artist to do a tattoo for me, would I get one? and if so, what would it be?
