My friend, she got a tattoo just the other day. She was in a LOT of pain. You have to understand, I just don't see the point of tattoos on certain parts of the body, especially when nobody's ever going to see them unless you're in swimwear or something. Also, I just could never possibly rationalize to myself the expense of body art, jewelry, etc. The way I see it, you're basically paying for the privilege of people saying "Hey, cool tattoo". Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing anybody who's into that stuff, I just could never see myself spending money on it.
