My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy because I want to get a dragonfly tattoo. It's symbolic for my love of the Gilmore Girls.
That sounds cool lol, A dragonfly tattoo does sound cool, But how exactly does that have to do with the Gilmore Girls? 
Lorelai bought an Inn and named it The Dragonfly Inn. Tattoos have been historically regarded in the west as uncivilised. Do you have any?
I dont have any tattoo's but I am interested in them, Do they really last your whole life and are they very painful?
The do last forever. Ink is inserted into the dermis layer of your skin and changes the pigment...and it hurts really bad.
Ouch! guess I better choose wisely on what type of tattoo I want, Do you know what the most popular type of tattoo is?
I'm not sure what the most popular type is. If you don't like it you can get it removed. There are treatments to get it fully or partially removed.
Oh cool, I did hear about using some kind of laser to remove them, But I dont know how that even works. 
Before the laser, they would use dermabrasion, salabrasion or cryosurgery and excision with skin grafting for larger tattoos. Ouch!!
