re: Those of you with tattoos - How did you decide on the tattoo(s) you have?

Well I got one at 18 that I plan on covering with a bigger back piece but it's a frat tat so, yeah, it's fairly obvious how I chose that one. The other two are different, one is both of my kids birthdays, again pretty obvious. The other is a quote, something that I felt captured my personality really well and would remind me to laugh.

I have 8 fairly large pieces of many different styles. Portraits, Japanese, flowers, etc. Mostly family related. I am an artist myself, so I just draw my ideas and take them to the tattoo artist so he/she knows what I'm thinking. They also put their own ideas in as well. They key thing is to look at many different artists to find the right one for you. If you want it done well, you are going to have to pay a lot and may also have to travel. So keep that in mind.

Get a dolphin with a horn where his blow hole is usually located.

Why? There are ways to express yourself that aren't quite as permanent.

I really don't like the way my appendix scar looks, I'm thinking of blacking it in with some sutures across it.

Each of mine have a special meaning. Here is a photo that shows most of them.

What's a lot? I mean say for a 3in x 3in one color symbol?

good artists charge $100/hr
great artists charge up to $250/hr
something like that, that's not that serious would probably only take an hour, so around $100

Got my first one when I was 15. It was a scorpion and had no further meaning than I liked it.
Second Tattoo was a red rose to honor my dead mother.
Third Tattoo was a dragon to honor a brother.
Fourth tattoo was a Chinese symbol to also honor a brother.
fifth, Sixth, & seventh Tattoos honored the year I was marred as well as the year each of my kids were born
Eighth tattoo was another for my brothers.
Ninth tattoo was to remember my army days as a tanker.

did you get marred as a tanker?

I did. I was already done with active duty and was in the AL Army Guard.

Walked in a couple nights after turning 21 and just picked one out. The guy altered it a little to fit but not much. Often forget I even have one.

So who's the best in the Baton Rouge area? I heard good things about Dody in Prairieville.
Any suggestions???
