I had to comment after gong through this whole thread, these two are probably the closest to what I feel are the true reasons for getting tats,especially if they have a lot of them. Those who commented that they do it because it is trendy are probably right if the tat is a small one. The only ones who really can answer the why question is the person them-self. As for me mine(I have 7) are pretty much what ElvisCostello and field35j surmised,major events in my life. As for worrying about what they look like when they turn 70, I would much rather see a 70yr old woman with tattoos than one with huge fake silicone tits. Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!
Just my informed two cents.

It can be a "transitional" thing (leaving school, or closure on a time in ones life), but once the first piece of ink goes in then that is it, they WILL always go back for more. It is very addictive, whether it be the tattoo itself or the process of having it done, even better if it is a combination of both.
Personally I love a girl that has tatts, it means she has the confidence to express herselfand that she is "comfortable" in her body and wishes to express herself this way.
In the "age" arguement, if you have to worry about what you look like when you are 70, then that is just sad, what you should be celebrating is that you are still alive and enjoy life to maximum.
I actually like tattoos on girls a lot. I've know girls who've told me the experience of getting a tattoo...the pain...is like the hottest sex.
I also believe for many (the ones who get numerous)...is a way of marking different points in their life (passing of somone, graduation, etc)...
It's also a way of taking control of their bodies. So many girls are "owned" by their boyfriends/husbands/parents...it's their way of marking their own territory...themselves.
Also...for some it's an art form. There are some truly masterful tattoos. (Also I'll take a tattooed/pierced girl in bed over one not tattooed/pierced ANY day...no comparison as who which is more willing to try ANYthing.)
Yes, some just do it because everyone else is...but they usually have just one. But when/if they get addicted to the pleasure/the look and get more than one...then it's no longer about copying other people, but instead about being themselves...
That's my two cents.
