Tattoos and body piercing!!!

I have body piercings but no tattoos, not because i dont like them but because i am scared of the needles! i think tattoos can look nice, some people do go over the top and cover their body with them i dont think that's necessary. Piercings you can take out and yeh it will leave you with a tiny scar but tattoos are a whole different thing as you cant get rid of them! if i was to go and get a tattoo it will have to be in relation to something thats really important to me, seeming as its going to be on my body for the rest of my life. So many people get tattoos when their young and then hate it when they get older, forget that id rather keep my plain and simple skin.
