"tramp stamps" are fine.. but you like harleys.. that makes ya iffy :P

[HOTTIEBOY]

I am defending tattoos being labeled here.

Stop making me laugh....I am not supposed to laugh at that.

[najida]

I must live a sheltered life, because the first time I heard tramp stamp and coaster was....

here!

[HOTTIEBOY]

Hold up Zer0....

We are preaching to hate the game, not the player.

But if she says HD is somehow better than Jap, I'll turn you loose.

carry on...

[najida]

Wicewocket?

[pandoraou812]

I think so too...... I have seen some really beautiful tattoos. I have seen artists do amazing work covering up a homemade tat also..... Some of the guys I know have had to do tats on children because of facial deformities like children born with harelips etc. They have to make lips the right color and the children look so much better afterward. I know some guys who have done work for women recovering from breast cancer, they create a nipple areola as part of reconstructive breast surgery. Do these mean names apply to these innocent people who have no choice but to use tattoos to look normal?

[HOTTIEBOY]

I hate 'tramp stamp' cause the people that say it seriously believe it.

But 'coaster' is a joke and the knuckledragger in me finds it funny as heck.

[absolootezer0]

hey.. i put my little :P with it. i'm just teasing.

[HOTTIEBOY]

No. They will just come up with a different name to call those people.

Something like, "Well if there parents hadn't had premarital sex, the child wouldn't have a hairlip"

[HOTTIEBOY]

O'rly???

[Xenalyte]

No way! Y'all never heard those terms before?

You realize, of course, that I use them with love . . . almost all my Rennies are decorated. I can think of three (four, if you count me) out of maybe 200 who aren't tattooed.

My closest female friend has so many, I can't count 'em . . . they're starting to blend together!

[Xenalyte]

But 'coaster' is a joke and the knuckledragger in me finds it funny as heck.

That's 'cause it carries its own visual!

[pandoraou812]

Well I can't change that one. I put mine away when my daughter was born but I do ride behind my husband. I like all bikes not just harleys. They break down quite a bit and they aren't as fast as some of the other bikes. I ride horses too though... ~~Pandora~~

[absolootezer0]

like all bikes not just harleys. They break down quite a bit and they aren't as fast as some of the other bikes

good answer! :)

[pandoraou812]

True. Its sad people can be so ignorant. What does it matter to them what is on the outside of you as long as you are a good, decent person on the inside? Like that saying...Don't judge a book by its cover...~~Pandora~~

[pandoraou812]

Well its the truth. I couldn't tell you how many times my 61 panhead broke down. That was another reason its in the garage. Plus the fact its a kickstart and its just too hard for me to kick it over. I love it but I could never ride alone in case it broke down. My sons are eyeing it up but I don't think I want to let it go ... I don't know if I will ride again but I do know it won't be on that bike. I am just too old and its not comfortable at all.

[najida]

Xena, you and I hang out with very similar types. My best friend has a 'sea' theme going on that is pretty cool....and she's the first one I ever saw to have the tribal scroll on her back (which is fabulous!)

If I could come back as anyone else, it would be this woman.
One of the best dancers of any kind on the planet, IMHGLO.

Like most tribal dancers, she has a tat that travels her middle. She's been adding to it since she was in her teens. Someone here said "she'll not have it when she's 40" well, she's been dancing since she was 17 and I think she turns 37 this year. Like Jamila Shalimpour, Carolina Nerrico and others....those tats will go with her to the grave.

It's her mantra...a mark of her discipline, from sutra "And this practice becomes firmly rooted when it is cultivated skillfully and continuously for a long time."

[pandoraou812]

I am dying laughing here. I told my husband to just put his 2 away and buy a jap bike...Theres no way he would. But he does like to go fast. I know many guys now that are sick of repair bills, being uncomfortable and are buying hondas. Less repairs, faster and more comfortable claim the older guys. I don't see why people have this harley only thing going on. I did like your stories on your page.

[pandoraou812]

Thanks , thats a beautiful picture and the tat is really outstanding.

[HOTTIEBOY]

But wouldn't she beat the hell out of herself with all those dangly things while she danced?

And about that 'best dancer on the planet' coment,
Lets see her pop better than Fred 'Rerun' Berry...:D
