Old story: I was 43 years old when I got my first tattoo, after contemplating the idea for about 5 years or so. I got two more that same year. Now, almost 7 years later, I'm up to seven, with number 8 in the planning stage. That's not to say you'll get hooked on them (but I was told they can be addictive). The biggest caveat is to think very VERY carefully about what ink you want and where you want it. It's not a venture to be entered into lightly. Unlike marriage, you're really stuck with ink for the rest of your life (unless you want to go through the more uncomfortable process of removal).
Having said that, have fun with it and post a pic if you should decide to do it.
P.S.: That's my latest ink in my icon pic. Our daughter has loved theater since high school and now is a senior in theater/education in college. Okay, I'm done. :D
