People seem to expect me to have one because I keep getting asked; it's probably because I've magically become the most pierced person in my social circle, despite only actually having six.

On that last note - sometimes I think the reluctance is inevitable. Like having second thoughts before getting married, or feeling nervous the first time you have sex; maybe no matter how much you want a tattoo, a little piece of you will be skeptical until you actually get it. (But there's no knowing until it's gotten, so...)
