I mean - if youre 25 and explaining to some girl in a bar that scar is from a sword? I think there's some merit in this.

I have never been interested in getting any, but I'm neutral on other people getting tatooed. My wife has four. They're all of her own design and abstract. Like one poster said, after a while you don't devote much attention to them pn a regular basis.

All the beautiful young women from Europe - who set the trends for the rest of the world. Do not have a drop of ink on their gorgeous bodies. No tattoos for years now.

I suppose France hasn't been part of Europe for a long time.

Duh, I said beautiful young women. That's Alizée, she's about 38 years old. Probably had the tat's done over 10 years ago.
You need to get out a little more. We get great swarms of smoking hot 18 year old German and Swedish girls hitting the beaches. No tat's on these glamorous young creatures. |

Exactly what my late FIL had.

Having my daughter's name tattooed on my arm proved to be very useful once. It was when a friend of hers told a guy that he should be wary of the Dad who had carved his daughters' name into his flesh.

Tats aren't so bad, it's those oversized earlobes that seem to be becoming a big regret for some.

^^^ Once they get them...they don't like to take the ring filler out.
Makes too good of a handle if they get in a fight.

a buddy of mine had his very young sons write their names on paper before taking the designs to an artist and had them tatted on his forearms. kinda cool being in the kids writing.

I have never been the least bit interested in having them. I do not find women with them attractive (even if I might have found them lovely otherwise). In fact, I am repulsed more by a beautiful woman with tats than a homely one. I am not sure why. The same with piercings/earlobe work. I guess it is like defiling a work of art in my tiny brain (not actual art itself). Like painting graffiti on a beautiful natural rock formation.
To be totally honest, I suspect that I do prejudge people I see with them (the more tats/piercings they have, the more I prejudge I think) and women more than men...although I have a friend that is a very good man who has quite a few/sleeves. He kept them covered when we interacted at work ...so I knew and respected him well before I saw them. Once I did see them, it did not change things, but I was certainly surprised. I guess I see it as a judgement issue (consciously or not). That said, I guess we each like what we like...and dislike what we do not. I automatically prejudge people that smoke, are obese, etc.; it is just in my psyche to be critical of seemingly (to me) self-destructive actions. When my son was in his late teens, he got several tats. They looked about as good as any one-color tat. I took him to a place that used a laser to remove them. It appeared painful (and smelled like bacon cooking). It took a couple of visits and was not cheap.

When I was about 14 at school, some of my classmates used biro ink and a needle to tattoo their forearms in the playground. There was a kid who did it for them.
Lucky for them, they were relatively out of sight. I'm pretty perceptive and even at that age I knew better than them that they were going to regret them. People change and what you want right now is frequently very different to what you wanted 5 years before or after. I bumped into one of them a few years later and he had a professional one over the top. He said he wouldn't have had a tattoo by choice, but he had to do something to get that covered up. Later I had a longstanding girlfriend, a wonderful girl who had a little cartoon stylised butterfly on her back. It was a lovely, subtle thing which she had designed herself. I loved that tattoo because it reflected her. I've always been drawn to things which are completely unique. I'm sure she's still fond of that little butterfly today, 20 years on.

I have a neck tat. I was 18 when I got it, it was a different time in my life and I couldn’t explain why I got it if my life depended on it. Lucky for me, the tattooist put it lower than I wanted it and a collar and tie covers it up nicely.
I guess I’m not that surprised to see the tattoo hatred on this forum though. Majority here were born into money and or have have never lived or experienced life outside of gated communities… have a nice day. Last edited by pcardude; 12-20-2022 at 04:30 AM.. |

I’d rather be in a room full of neck tattoos than have to listen to a man in his 50s talk about 18 year olds. Nothing grosses me out more than that creepy shi4. Omg. |
