WARNING: STRONG OPINION BELOW!
Whoa whoa whoa. Lolita is a clothing fashion, right? Bell and a-line skirts, modesty, victorian influenced. Is this sounding familiar?
Any lolita guide I've ever seen that was worth reading talked about prints, fabrics, cuts, hairstyles, and shoes. They never mentioned being this color, this size, shape, or complexion, having this hair color, or a lack of piercings and tattoos.
Even if tattoos are a complete no-no for it to be lolita, who cares? You picked lolita because you like how it looks and feels, right? Well then get a tattoo if you like how it looks and feels!
Even if it's "not lolita", what is so wrong with mixing styles? I don't understand you. My mainstream fashion friends don't snub me for wearing a few lolita items with my jeans. Why should lolitas snub me for a full back piece? I understand following the rules for an event or panel, but for everything else, people bend fashion rules in all sorts of styles all around the world. It's called being individuals.
My lolita friends accept me for my artistic style. If they don't accept it, they aren't accepting a part of me. You could be a by-the-books lolita and still look bad! Or you could bend all the rules and look great! Because art isn't about rules, it's about beauty. Will your tattoo make you look and feel more beautiful? Edgy? Unique? Does it represent you?
I thought lolita forums were to join up and befriend others who like the same styles that you do, to learn from them, meet them, share pics and find out where they get their stuff from! But I've been reading them and all I see is, "that's not lolita, blah blah blah, hate hate hate."
Lolita are a MINORITY!! You did not pick lolita to fit in, trust me. So the last thing you should worry about is fitting in with lolita!
There are more important things to worry about. Can you keep your career with it? Can you afford it? Will you regret it later in life? You might ditch lolita in five years. That tattoo lasts until you die or laser it off.
Please choose things because you like them, and forget everyone else! You deserve that choice!
amenn^^

Definitely, at least in my opinion! Lolita is a fashion, and a tattoo can be viewed as another venue for that creativity and self expression. Personally I am dying for a tattoo that I found on a lolita blog 
Latin roughly means unbreakable and tender, sort of a beautiful paradox I think.
(And second the view of Doll Named Mouse!)

Lolitas don't have to look anything aside from Lolita. Aka: Clothes.
Tattoos are on your skin. If you want a tattoo, for for it. You shouldn't have to not dress a certain way because of a tattoo.
Hell,
Punk Lolita. Nuff' said.

prone to delirium  thats my tat ^^ That. is. adorable!!!! Mana-sama is sooooo cute!! *eh hem* A Doll Named Mouse -Lolita_Kana- Just like it was most likely mentioned in the piercing thread, the life choices you make should not be influenced by what you wear. If you love tattoos and wish to get one do no let something like Lolita impede that. I personally have several tattoos and am working on my upper left arms half sleeve which I love displaying with Lolita. My favorite lolita of all time is Octavekitten who makes tattoos look so amazing with Lolita. Here is the Daily Lolita archive of her great photos http://community.livejournal.com/daily_lolita/tag/octavekitten Wow, I checked her out, they're beautiful! WARNING: STRONG OPINION BELOW!

I agree. Yes. .Luna.Switch.Blade. -Lolita_Kana- Just because I like lolita doesn't mean I search for bands that showcase the style, I am more of Dir en Grey or Lynch type of person. I looove Lynch. Good choice I also agree. I like both bands. (Diru is my favorite) Okay. I think that if you want a tattoo, get one. No matter what kind. I want a koi fish jumping out of a shimmering blue pond on my upper left arm. I probably wont get it. (too much $$!) But if you may be a person like me, who has scars everywhere from picking at scabs (yes, i know, ew) then it might be better for you. I know that i definately want a tattoo of Kyo's name on my ankle. I have a scar that i tried to tattoo myself (hey i was young and foolish) and now it just doesnt look right. If you have a want or a need for it, i say just get it. and i also agree. Punk lolita.

I only have one tattoo right now, I don't have the $$$ to have anymore. I have an old film Minolta on my fore arm... I REALLY want to get a cute girly themed shoulder piece something like this... I want to get it in mostly black and white with purple and blue in it. I'm not a big fan of pink. Yick.

You by chance a photographer? That's a fairly unique tattoo, so I assumed it meant something close to you. I like it, very tasteful, and I like the ideas you have for another one, cupcake tat FTW.

@Prone to delirium:
It's very very cute. I really appreciate art like that.
@alpha drug:
The first picture of you is very pretty. Very expertly done, me thinks.
Among the tattoo situation, i have another thing to bring up. Can lolitas smoke? I mean, the legal stuff, not illegal, cause i dont do that kinda stuff anyways... xD But seriously. I am trying to quit, and i would like to hear you take on if they could smoke or not...

know a number of lolis with tattoos; know a number of lolis who smoke...an drink and do all those grown up gruesome things-why wouldn't they? the fact that we wear pretty things from time to time or often does not obliterate the actual Us underneath the frills.
It's dumb to deny your personality or your self expression for a bunch of dresses.Seriously.
