i never really answered that anon post on my tag board..
sorry
well heres my answer

if you're thinking of getting a tattoo...

1stly
DON'T
"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." (1 Cor 6:19-20)
Why defile the temple of God with a self-inflicted scar?

2ndly
if you really wanna get one
get something that will mean something to you for the rest of your life
not a partners name, that might change anytime.
your mother's name on the other hand, never will..

3rdly
it hurts
kinda
not worth it...
if u really want pain, get a horse to step on your foot..without steel-capped boots

4thly
while there's nothing specifically wrong with it. it IS a decision that you make that will last a lifetime. can you live with the weight of such a responsibility?

5th
hep B and so many other blood borne diseases can be carried on not properly sterilised equipment.
would you risk your life for ink?
