Tattoos : Yay or Nay?

So just a random late night thought...I'm thinking that I could totally rock this awesome camera tattoo. And I'm kinda digging the placement as well. Photography is my life so it is completely perfect for me.

But.....I have also been contemplating with birds as well...similar to these. But maybe on my wrist. I love the elegance of them. And in my thought of birds I was wanting one larger one to represent God, with four smaller birds following it to represent my lost loved ones making their way to God.

 But then again, I don't have any tattoos and I'm kinda nervous about getting any kind of permanent thing done to my body. I've never even dyed my hair for the fright of never getting my original color back, or had any type of piercing other than my ears because I'm scared of the possibility of the hole never growing back in and leaving that ugly little indention in my body somewhere. I guess you could say I definitely play it safe. But I've put alot of thought into it and I'm kind of leaning towards yes.
