My husband and I are going to St. Martin next week - where can we go to get tattoos?

there is a place right in simpson bay that is really good I will find out the name for you!

thanks - is it the only one or the best one?

Real or temporary?
David

real!!

Where can you get tatoos?

Any place you aren't afraid to hold still while a man stabs you with a sharp ink-covered needle....

Just curious- What did you have in mind and why did you choose to have it done on the island?

we got an anniversary tattoo in Maui a few years ago and this is another one of those anniversary trips, so we like to keep tradtions! lol

Not a good idea for real one,can't do sun,and swimming a no-no

you get them the morning before your plane leaves silly.

This is yet another practice I do not understand.

You don't have to understand it; either provide this guy, who asked a genuine, unique question, with some useful information, or keep quiet!

Ok. Was just thinking out loud.

Not a judgement, just remembering a Buffett song..............

Permanent Reminder Of a Temporary Feeling

She was no marine back from the Philippines
She was their pride and joy, their incarnation
Her parents viewed the chief
With shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation

The Indian on her back was poised for an attack
She said 'a tattoo is a badge of validation'
But the truth of the matter is far more revealing
It's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
It's no complex memento, it's no subtle revealing
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Vegas in the rain, drunk on cheap champagne
He hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells painfully ringing
Where's his limo ride? Who's this foreign bride?
Is this really Elvis spinning round the ceiling?

Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love
What is this ring on his finger? Why is he kneeling?
She's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Chromosomes and genes spawn these fateful scenes
Evolution can be mean, there's no 'dumb ass' vaccine
Blame your DNA, you're a victim of your fate
It's human nature to miscalculate

To make up for the fight they go out for the night
Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll seem like the easiest answer
But a short nine months later, there's no way of concealing
That permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
Complex mementos, not subtle revealings
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Whew- that was a lot 'o typin'. Notice I said it was an anniversary thingy. This means we are together and (it gets sappy here for those who have a disdain for this kind of thing so you may want to avert your eyes).... not only are we more in love than ever, we really still like each other, like to travel together, be together, blah blah... and it's been many, many years. So.... maybe not a temporary feeling. We'll happily take suggestions for the tat design. But hurry, plane leaves bright and early tomorrow!!

I, personally, think that's pretty cool.

(I wouldn't do it due to pain... I'm looking for jewelry instead on our 20th anniversary this year!)

Have a blast!!!!! Let us hear how it comes out!
