It is interesting indeed. Once upon a time I considered a beautiful cross tatoo (the guy who would have done it is an absolute artist).....but decided it would be better hanging on a wall for display. I just couldn’t bear the thought of sinning...although the old testament lev verse was not referring to Gentiles if I recall correctly.
More than a few. But that's okay. There are plenty of boys out there who like that sort of thing.
Like ‘some’ men here on FR think women should still be chattel!
LOL! Where did that come from? Run out of arguments so you had to open the feminist play book and associate men who appreciate clean women with men who oppress women?
I don't judge people by their natural physical characteristics, either. But when they alter their physical characteristics, they do so with the express purpose of expressing something about themselves. Why ignore someone's obvious cries for attention?
If a man chose to walk around with a chicken on his head, would it make not to judge his decision?

Oh, darn, now I’m going to get flamed by the artsy-fartsy chicken-on-the-head crowd!
I had no idea the #s were so high. Time to get into the tattoo removal business.
The quarter who claim "rebellious" are closest to telling the truth.
Feminist playbook?
Oh my! If you ONLY knew how funny that is!-——
I recently got verbally lashed for refusing to
call myself a feminist on all female literary board
I’m just me, not an -ist or -ive anything, just me.
Basically, I was just pointing out that a great deal of archaic thinking is present here and yes is just that, archaic. Your rignt to think it, my right to view it as such.
As for the bizarre connection between ‘unclean’ and tattoos and piercings...again, you don’t know what you’re talking about-— you can’t have them safely without being unber-clean and sanitary.
And of course the irony in that is that these days, when so many people have them, it's far more of a comformist than a rebellious thing to do. ....kind of like those who had long hair in the late 60s and early 70s, when it became ultra-fashionable. The real rebels were the beatniks of the 50s.
d. It’ll give the nurses something to talk to me about in the nursing home “And this one here is for when I turned 65 and climbed Mount Everest in my pajamas.”
HAHAHAHA that's great. I think you're my hero! ;)
FTR, I just got my first tattoo at age 26. Since it's a "tramp stamp", I figure no one gets to see unless I very purposefully expose it. So who cares. The one I'm debating on is getting a cross on my ankle. I love the sentiment, but I'm still nervous about visible tats... *shrug*
Nope,
the dyes and methodology have changed, so the removal business will be there, but not as thriving as once thought.
Lots of folks now are just opting for expansion or tattoo revision over removal. Adding more colors and upgrading on a regular basis over taking them off.
I used to be on the fence about them, but the more I saw them, and the more thought I realized people put into them, the more I liked and respected them.
Visible tattoos, yeah, some are cool and some are like “WTF?” But same with lots of stuff.....like comb overs.
My goal is to have my back tat eventually cover my back and wrap around my middle, as a calendar of the years I’ve been teaching etc. Hopefully, when I’m too old to dance anymore, it’ll cover a big chunk of me.
Hey, you're the one who brought "woman as chattel" into the discussion. Outside of third world countries, that's been passe for many, many decades.
For what it's worth, I treat women with the utmost respect. I never deny Mrs. Chandler the money she needs to buy tools when she works on the car. She enjoys the benefit of the most modern, leading-edge technology in the steam iron she uses to iron my underwear. And I never fail to surprise her on her birthday with some fun new gadget, like the teflon-coated waffle iron I got her last year.
You know what's the only thing I don't like about having a back tattoo? I can't look at it all the time, lol! Sometimes I wish I had gotten it somewhere I could see it more... Hmm... I also wish I didn't work in such a conservative industry and could feel more free to have discrete, appropriate, exposed tattoos. I'm pretty envious of folks in really creative jobs who can just do whatever.
Ass Antlers!
That is how Pamela Anderson contracted Hepatitis C, from a tattoo. Getting a tattoo or piercing, in unsanitary conditions, is one way to contract Hep C. So disease is an issue.
Perhaps some men pay attention to God and not their own desires.
Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Yep, but not everyone interprets it the same either.
Many needles now used in salons are one time use only. Most of the Hep C folks I work with are needle sticks from patient care or dialysis units. I’m at higher risk walking on a patient unit and getting bitten (which has happened) over getting tattoo’d.
