Tattoo for You ... or Me?

Please explain to me ... what is it with people who have tattoos in places that THEY themselves cant SEE!!??  I don't understand!  What is the point of having tattoos on your back, neck or backs of your arms and legs? Just WHO are they having the tattoo for?  What are they saying to me?  Look at me; look at my design and know of the pain I went through in order to get your attention, so that you'll look at me .... Is that it?

I confess I don't actually have a tattoo of my own, but I would have probably  liked one when I was younger(although other members of the family would probably have disowned or stopped speaking to me!)  haha  But even so, I think I would have had one ... for ME!  My design; my pain; my tattoo. For ME to look at and admire; not on the back of my neck for others to admire. But for me.  Otherwise, what's the point?
I dont get it ....

I see tattoos being very personal things.  From the thousands of designs to choose from, you finally wittle it down to the one that's going to be indelably inked onto your body for pretty well the rest of your life. How do you go about making that choice?  Apart from the drunken mistake or the name of a current boyfriend etc. surely the owners's final choice must mean SOMETHING.  
Just doesnt make sense to me .... or am I missing something (or knowing me, just looking too deeply.)

I don't know *shakes head with despair*

  1. I for years have wanted a Tattoo but have never come up with a design I truly liked and keep on changing my mind, hence why I never get around to it. If I did have one I would want to draw it myself and have the artist recreate it and I worry that I wouldn't be happy with it once done. I have changed my mind so many times that I now think it's probably best I give up on the idea.
