Thank God for Lois Kapp's "Liberty Tattoo Removal Service".
guess mom settled for a self-portrait.
I have a friend who has the vast majority of his body tattooed, but nothing shows if he's wearing street clothes because that would never fly in the Geek World he lives in. (He's "Dilbert" come to life, LOL!) He has this awesome Wolfman on his back that is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and he's now in the habit of taking off his shirt when he sees me, so I can visit with "Wolfman," LOL!
I love tattoos on others; not so sure about them on myself.
My husband has an Eagle with a big old fish in its talons on one shoulder, but unfortunately, he also has a few of those "prison tattoos" as well, though he's never been an inmate, LOL! He was one of those dopey teens with the "do it yourself" attitude as in the article.
My Ex-Husband had to go through the pain of having "me" removed from his arm before his "new" wife would marry him.
I hope it hurt like hell, LOL!
Now that's just mean. Biker Moms need love too! ;)
"She wanted one, but she was stuck with (my dad) for so long"
She was stuck with him? Doesn't sound like she liked her father.
Gosh I hate tattoos. Several months ago I stopped at a sandwich shop, and the fellow constructing my sub had these long, gaunt arms, all decorated with dragons and skulls and whatnot. The guy was as friendly as could be, but the sight of those arms just repulsed me and took away my appetite. I sat down at a table to eat my sandwich, and I could hardly swallow it, thinking of those grotesque-looking appendages that put it together. I see tattoos like that and I immediately think of nasty, unbathed uncleanliness. Call it a phobia, I suppose. But it's something I can never seem to get mentally past. I certainly never went back to that sandwich shop.
I've been around enough REAL Old Navy types to understand that tattoos don't get any prettier as the wearer ages.
I'm too much of a nonconformist to ever get a tattoo.
"I think tattoos have always been attractive to younger people because of the rebellion aspect of them"
I love how every body and his momma has one but this fool still says that....its not that its the other way..its the cool thing to do so lets get one
Real works of art.... How tasteful!
White trash knows no geographic boundaries or class barriers.
I understand your point of view.
But if the "artwork" was on another "canvas" you might find it very beautiful. :)
(Well, maybe not skulls and dragons...that turns me off too, LOL!)
My Grandpa was an old Navy Man. I agree. His "Hula Girl" didn't age well, LOL! ;)
I love (hate) the scrolls that a lot of young women are having tattooed across their back, just above their crack. I wonder if they'll later regret it. When I see a "scroll" across a young woman's back I immediately come to one conclusion - that she's a tramp. Maybe that's wrong but that's what it says to me.
Trash...
Teen talk 2040 AD: "OOOOOH, that hag must be really OLD. She has a TATOO!"
"The one thing that would bring certain death to us as kids was a tattoo. None of us have them."
My Dad felt that way about pierced ears. He did not want me to have them until I was an adult, but of course, I had MaryAnne pierce mine, and I pierced hers when we were 16. I hid it from him until I was 17 (took my earrings to school to put them on) and then I left for the Army.
No more piercings and no tattoos, though. :)
Personally? I'd take a tattoo over someone that has a totally pierced face.
One point if she smokes, one point for each tatto, one point for each piercing. Anything that adds up to four or more, she's easy.
