I know several people with tatoos. Of the women that I know, their tatoos were a well thought out decision. Of the men that I know, they got them when they were drunk.

I'm not sure about Erika, but I think the point of the feature on it was they are running out of storylines in the house and needed to fill some time so they ran with it.

OK, Lurker here.....
But I just have to say. I'm married,kids,mortage, etc..... I have 4 tattoos, but you would never know because there are easily coverd by shirts and jeans. My tattoos were done to remind me of key things that happened in my life.. My mother took me to get my first when i was 18. It was a butterfly to remind me of the day my dad was buried. IT was a Nasty & rainy day and all of a sudden this huge butterfly fluttered in and landed on the coffin and sat there among the flowers for about 30 minutes.
My other tatts are a moon, flower,& peace sign. those last 3 are elements of something in my life that i never want to forget.
I don't use them to identify myself, because unless you asked me if i had one, you would never know.
lots of my friends choose to not ink their bodies up, and they have enough of their own identy & personality to knock a horse outta of it's shoes.
it's all just an individual choice and also based on pain threshold! LOL

Hmm, I've always had an identity but I haven't always had a tatoo.

Agreeing.. This could have been a contrived ploy. As you all remember, last year the issue of good vs. evil was also raised. So this year..it's possible a question was asked regarding evil people with tatoos..or something to that effect. Erika was responding to that type of question and the whole scenario was born.

To answer the question.. it doesn't matter to me either way if a person has one.

I have tatoos- so therefore I am secure and have a personality. ;)

I got a tatoo because of who I am. I already had an identity, just wanted to dress up the merchandise a little. I am not better or worse then anyone else, or more angelic or EVIL then the next guy. Maybe a little off the wall, but that came prior the the tat.

Just curious . . .what does Justin's tattoo say? I never seem to get a close enough look.

Justin has a tattoo of the United States with something in the middle

If you have a secret tatoo, does that mean you have a secret identity?

(well, back to the bat cave for me)

Yep, looks like a big star in the middle, but I thought it says something under it too.

It bears repeating that the tattoo above Dana's butt-crack looks like a patch of scraggly black hair. Eeewww.

Trust Robert to be the one to state that those with tattoos have identity - he probably WOULD need a patch of ink to show people who he is. If I had a tattoo - his and the rest of those saddo's comments would be enough to make me leg it to the nearest laser surgery.

I guess I have to thank Robert for diagnosing why, at the brink of old age, I've floundered all my life without an identity.
All I needed was someone to painfully paint me with pricking points, and my personality would have been peachy!

Someone pinch me instead, I'm having a nightmare

Interesting site Bo.. However Hollywood doesn't tell me how to think.

I didn't take Roberts comments and those of the others about identity and tatoos as being negative toward people that don't have tatoos. They were just saying why that have them, not that everyone in the world should have one! LOL

My dad has one from the Korean War, all my uncles have them from being in the service, my niece has 3 (one of them like Dana's) and my sisters want to all 3 of us to get a tatoo of angel wings signifying our brothers death. So to each his own.

I have two tatoos as well.. one to signify my joining of the Air force (roses), and another one to celebrate my divorce from my ex hubby (a band of sunflowers).

I have one on my ankle- it's easy to cover if need be. My best friend and I went and got matching tattoos done the last day I was living in Arizona. So basically we did it to have sort of a reminder- when I look at it I think about my friend, and of being 20 and having fun. No big deal. I don't know if I will get another or not.

If scars count, then I have a lot of personality.
