My W has 7 tattoos. She had 2 when I met her. She got one after the boys were born. Then she was trying to lose weight and to encourage her, I promised to pay for a tattoo if she got down below a certain weight, and she did, so that's #4. And then she's gotten 3 more on her own in the past 1.5 years.
I think tattoos get tacky once you start covering whole body parts, or there are two many unrelated tattoos next to one another. I also think that they can be pieces of art if done properly. My W and I used to watch LA Ink all the time, now I watch it by myself and a lot of the ones they do are absolutely cool and beautiful! I also think tattoos in certain places (like lower back) can be pretty sexy on women. My W has one in that spot.
Just thought I'd throw my $0.02 in!
About the skiing trip. Unfortunately, I can't do a daytrip to go skiing, or I would have done it a long time ago already. But you guys are right, I do need to get into that! Point taken! The things I do by myself now are limited to going to get togethers at friends and at clubs that I am a member of.
