I prefer seeing skin over seeing ink, but that's just me.
My sister just got her second tattoo and it's a rather large one on her shoulder blade, plus she still wants to get another large piece on her opposite side.
That's her body, she can do with it what she wants.
The only thing I think I would ever get a tattoo of, is something for my husband if he were to die while we were married, or for my immediate family if something were to happen to one of them.
I will not get a tattoo if the person is still living (unless maybe my kids when I finally have some).
The only thing I am superstitious about is getting your significant other's name inked on you. The ONLY reason I will get my husband's name on me is if he died while we are still married.
