Would you ever get a tattoo?

Topic #207:

Would you ever get a tattoo? If you had one, what made you decide to get your first? If you don’t have one, why or why not would you ever consider getting one?

There is also the very unappealing aspect of what happens to your skin if you get fat, lose weight, or get old and then what will happen to that tattoo in return.

Though… my favorite kind of tattoo are ones on the backs of other people. ;X
