When we asked this question we got a lot of raised eyebrows, but even more laughs…this was by far one of the questions that helped us break the ice to get people to give us honest answers.

Shockingly, less than 30% of people who answered this question said that they would absolutely never get a tatoo…the other 70% came up with answers better than anything I could possibly make up:

Irene, 1928 – “It would be ‘Bill’, my husbands name, and I would put it on my wrist under my watch. My husband had my name tattooed on his wrist…and other ladies names too.”

Peter, 1927 – “It would be on my arm…I’ll just say a flower…no, maybe a geometrical design.”

Joy, 1923 – “A little mouse on the back of my neck. I saw a girl in line at the grocery store, with her hair pulled up like mine, and she had a little mouse on the back of her neck. When I asked her why she had it there she said, that by putting it on her neck, she could hide it from her mother by wearing her hair down…I thought that was clever.”

Douglas, 1925 – “It would be on the arm, and it would be some kind of happy face probably.”

Alicia, Not Telling – “I suppose I would put it on the bottom of my foot…probably a little star.”

Gene, 1945 – “A lip print of Kat Von D on my arm…it would be light pink and have her autograph in light pink under the lips.”

Claudia, 1935 – “A dot where no one could see.”

Jacqueline, 1938 – “I’d like a little cross right over my heart.”

Joan, 1932 – “God, I hate tattoos…If I had to, I’d get one on the inside of my hand of either a flower or a rose.”

Mary, 1938 – “Right here on my arm and it would say ‘Jesus’.”

Sandy, 1935 – (giggle) “I would put a bat…no a dragon…on my ankle where everyone could see it. I love bats and dragons.”

Mercedes, 1933 – “hmm, I think I like tattoos. It would be a poem on my arm I think.”

Libby, 1923 – “On my shoulder, and it would be a butterfly.”
