I can't believe how judgemental some of you guys are. Bitter, old aholes.

^^^You do realize you're being judgmental too?

I really don't care if someone has tats or not. I just have enough trouble dealing with the issues of aging without ink fading and getting blurry to help remind me.

How am I being judgemental? Look at the comments people have made about those that have tattoos. Given their comments, one would think those with tattoos are all bumbling losers, lacking the judgement to make even the most basic decisions in life.

Hmmm...judgment or fact? ;)

Caring what STRANGERS think about your opinion is ANOTHER symptom of low self esteem and poor judgement.

We all judge people. Not a bad thing. If I say she's got a nice ass, I'm judging her. When I say she's got an ugly tramp stamp I'm judging. For you to say I'm judging others is in fact judging me.

They may be lacking judgment, but they have decent reading comprehension. Some of them.

A lot of tattoo artists seem to have challenges with grammar and punctuation.

On the other hand maybe there are people who want to be a walking literacy test...

The 20 Worst TattooÂ*Typos

Deciding which pair of socks to wear this AM...I felt badly for the pair that I judged as being not desirable.
Resolved that major dilemma by choosing to not wearing any.
:p

I made a comment yesterday about a couple single moms getting tattoos at the same time their kids could benefit with some quality food instead mcdonalds crap three times a day. I will be judgmental about those types of situations and don't give a damn whether some of you think that's right or not!

I believe that's a photoshop, not a real tattoo.

Yeah, It could be photoshopped.

But what I meant to say was that to me the tatt appears to contain a word or words. Can't make it out, though.

That is because it is written in Mayan.

Typical responses from the demographic that populates Pelican...and there is an ongoing tirade about how people park.:rolleyes:

I'm in my late 50's and learned when I was in my formative years not to judge people by appearance...

Seriously, since has been mentioned earlier in the thread.. people have been getting inked for millenia...Why is it such a taboo?

When I first visited China in 2008 , my wife and I joked about getting a tattoo, so we did... Not sure if I got some bio hazardous ink used but ... she translate the Mandarin and we got ying yangs...

I'm not ashamed nor do I really give a hoot what other think when they see it..

It was my decision, and has not affected my ability to make a living...

Then again I have held a job with the same company for going on 35 years.....

Excellent post Tim. Especially the first sentence. Dead on.

I couldn't give a flying fudge, what people think of my ink. I've done pretty good for myself in life. My tats don't seem to have been any kind of hinderence.

I have friends from all walks of life and professions, with ink. My friend Ron is an accomplished and highly respected trauma surgeon, he has a full sleeve on his arm, but I guess he must be "small minded", right??...

That's gonna be some Corinthian leather in 30 years.

I find it odd that the several attempts I've made to make this discussion about health risks have been brushed aside in favor of condemnation of personal choices.

I'll just go on posting what I find, but doubt it will act as a deterrent to anyone seeking acceptance in their peer group. Might as well make a film called Reefer Madness (Tell Your Children). ;)

Think Before You Ink: Are Tattoos Safe?

Tattoos are more popular than ever. According to a 2015 Harris Poll, about 3 in 10 (or 29%) people surveyed have at least one tattoo. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is also seeing reports of people developing infections from contaminated tattoo inks, as well as adverse reactions to the inks themselves.

Questions raised about tattoo inks, cancer

Almost all inks, dermatologists say, contain chemicals that can cause allergic and other reactions. ..........................

“Cancer may easily occur in tattooed skin independent of the ink or pigment. . ......................

Since 2009, EU members have identified more than 20 inks from the United States as dangerous and banned their sale. .....................

“Because the FDA cannot require a cosmetics company to submit data before marketing a product or require a company to tell the FDA when they receive a report that one of its products has caused an adverse reaction in a user, the FDA may not know when there are problems,” Putnam, an FDA spokesman, says.

Maybe the tattoo lovers need to start their own thread with a "no body shaming" warning in the headline so they can share their art we have heard so much about.

I'm just curious about the Porsche tattoos, my 3rd cousin's son has a 550 Spyder on his neck. She was horrified when he got it, he was working in a Porsche shop at the time, it does match is rambunctious attitude I'll say that much.
