Yes, in all fairness, there was a new convenant in the new testament, but I still agree, folks shouldn’t do it.
All true, plus and for example, I can't imagine enjoying kissing a woman's body where it's covered with a tattoo.
I agree that tattoos look perfectly awful at any age.
Evidently many young people seem to think they cool.
They need to be made aware of the fact that as we age, their “body art” ages with the them, and not very well I might add.
I had thought of it but never really wanted to mark myself.
Shit, I was not even allowed to wear a uniform.
You weren’t allowed to? I was forced to most days heh.
Sometimes we wouldn’t wear our own nametags though.
I can't wait until the wooden plate in the lower lip becomes fashionable among this crowd. Gives "Ubangi?" a whole new meaning.
As much as I can.
Hush Hush stuff.
You do not do, you do not do
Any more, black shoe
In which I have lived like a foot
For thirty years, poor and white,
Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.
So welcome to my life, tattoo
Im a man now, thanks to you
I expect Ill regret you
But the skin graft man wont get you
Youll be there when I die
Tattoo
If Ive killed one man, Ive killed two—
The vampire who said he was you
Theres a stake in your fat black heart
And the villagers never liked you.
They are dancing and stamping on you.
They always knew it was you.
Daddy, daddy, you bastard, Im through.
Now Im older, Im tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you, too.
Ach, du.
We did nit wear uniforms on the boat and I was forbidden to wear uniform in foreign ports.
Even inconus we went to work in civvies.
We changed into uniform at the place of work.
Back to civvies at the end of the day.
A bit of a ruse.
Yep. I feel the same way.
I thought of it, hell I wanted a unit mark, but you just cant do it.
I had a friend years ago who was addicted to getting tattoos.
She had a really hard time walking past tattoo parlors if she could hear the needle vibrating.
The closest I ever came to getting a tattoo was buying some tattoo decals and wearing them
for a day or two.
One busybody at work got all huffy when she saw my rose “tattoo” on my chest just below
my collar bone. It was ~ 1x1.5”
She was pretty shocked the next day when it was gone.
My ears are pierced, and that’s all I have done to mutilate myself to make sure my earrings
don’t get lost. Some of them are a bit expensive, which is why women pierce their ears.
You Know? I suppose we all want to leave our mark on the world.
I’m just not sure that Inking your body is the way to do that.
I have put nose rings in a few bulls, snout rings in a few hundred pigs for $1/, and ear-tags in thousands of pigs and cattle. I could have made a fortune in the human business based on current charges by amateurs.
I know a guy that wanted a tattoo of some bands logo.
I said think this through.
Your tastes will change over the years.
He said eff you and had the thing done.
Came back one hour later and lamented the damned thing.
LOL
