This REALLY shows off her tats!

As for the shells, I got the crap beat out of me once at a workshop by standing next to a girl with those shell things....

[najida]

Oh yeah,
How is Punkbitch?

[HOTTIEBOY]

He's still a punk.

Now he likes barking at food. HotRod gets mad cause punkbitch wants to wrestle all the time. he knows when HotRod is serious though.

HotRod still wants me to have a talk with Punkbitch about this humping thing. HotRod don't roll like that...

Nice home page.

I don't know. Seems a bit obsessive with the loads of old fashioned crime and punishment stuff. Comments Justche?

Do you have reading comprehension problems or did you read the first couple of sentences too?

[brwnsuga]

They are cute when you are young, but a 60 year old woman with a tatoo has got to look ridiculous. I will never get a tatt.

[brwnsuga]

My father-in-law got one on his forearem during WWII. It was so distorted that you couldn't even till what the picture was.

Points should also be awarded for those that wear hats

So every girl on a ski slope is a ho? That can't be right.

Perhaps. I just didn't understand the correlation. (I did gather that you're pretty pissed off about something.) That's why I asked for your comments. Was fairly sure there was a point behind it all. Maybe you were making a statement about those who complain that today's punishments are too harsh? If so, I agree 100%.

I will never be quiet when people defend child molesters and sexual predators from having to register to protect other people.

To the poster that argues that we use the Constitution as toilet paper by having sex offender registries, may I suggest going back to the law of the Framers time in it's entirety?

[brwnsuga]

I used to have my nose pierced. I think they are cute. I'm thinking about getting it done again before I am too long in the tooth.

I once knew of a girl who had her boyfriend's name tattooed on her upper back. He went to prison. Her next boyfriend "made" her "X" the name out and replace it with his just below. Then the first boyfriend got out of jail, beat up the other guy, and repeated the process.

Poor girl didn't have much self esteem, that's for damn sure. She looked like an abused kitten.

[justche]

there was a point to it - same point to my tag line. There's a lot of suspensions and banning and moderation around here without background information and with others twisting words. So if we want to go back to the Framer's time and the complete intent of the laws as they were set up, then we need to go back to the punishments as well. We sure wouldn't see the recidivism that we see now with child molesters and sexual predators (that try to hide at FR behind "framer's intent")

I have a good friend that is an amazing tattoo artist and his artwork blows me away. I'd personally never get a tat, but I do appreciate a tasteful tat on another person. While I generally think it's a smarter option to get a small tattoo that you can cover up, I don't make personally evaluations about a person judged on just the fact that they have a visible tattoo. To me it's all about the design/size of the tat, the positioning of the tat and the way the tattee chooses to display the tat.

If I see cuss words, bizarre and/or excessive artwork covering large parts of the body on any gender all I can think is white trash.

If I see a woman with a tattoo above her butt crack, wearing pants that are low enough to show off her butt crack, then the nicest thing that comes to my mind is skank.

[pandoraou812]

To each his own I guess. I don't wear anything where my butt crack would show anyway and even if I wasn't too old to be dressing like that I wouldn't anyway. ....I really think that most people don't THINK enough before they get a tattoo. I think you need to say to yourself can I live with this forever, will it ever come a time its going to stop me from getting a job. Or like some of my daughters friends have had to get them airbrushed from their wedding pictures. ...I also think just random tats here and there of silly things don't look good either. Example, a Mickey Mouse, then a tribal band, then a dragon etc. I don't think that looks too good on a women but thats just me. I think for me staying with butterflies and flowers was a good idea. My back looks really good and I have yet to hear otherwise. But you can only see my tats if I wear a bathing suit.....I see many moms and grandmothers who put their children and granchildren's names on their shoulders or back. I am tired of defending tattoos , if you want one get some education on them and who is doing them before you get ink. Plain simple good advice I think. .....Just because a girl may have that 'tramp stamp' doesn't make her a skank. She may turn around see you and think you are a loser. Now I am not calling you one at all because your post was right to the point and a good one. But what if the girl you fall in love with and is everything you could want has one.....would that tat stop you from marrying or loving her?

[Elyse]

But what if the girl you fall in love with and is everything you could want has one.....would that tat stop you from marrying or loving her?

Well...I can guarantee that I would NEVER entertain the thought of falling in love with that tattooed girl, let alone think of marrying her, because I'm not gay!

I'm mainly talking about first impressions when people are still strangers to you. I realize that people do stupid and/or unwise things at different points in their life like getting ugly tattoos and I am not so close minded that I would not give them a fair chance to show me their true character.

But, I think a woman would have a hard time proving to me that she is just a nice, sweet girl if she is walking around displaying a tattoo in a trashy sexual manner. If I was a guy it would make me think twice about even approaching a girl that was walking around accentuating parts of her body in that way, unless of course I was just after getting the milk without buying the cow.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

That is one of the saddest things I've ever heard of...

[pandoraou812]

I AM VERY SORRY!! What point I was trying to make was a what if..... And your post makes sense without being mean or crude. Please accept my apologies. I do wonder how many men might not see a tattoo , fall in love and find out the woman of their dreams had one, would they drop her? ~~Pandora ~~

[bannie]

As for fat grandmothers ..... I think so many women are afraid to age that its silly. I am a grandmother and I am proud of it. But I do believe in aging gracefully.

Are you saying that fat women can't grow old gracefully? I'm working on it. I embrace my age...I love my age. That doesn't change because I'm fat.

[pandoraou812]

Not by any means am I saying anything about fat...I could lose some weight too, I don't have the body I did at 20 years old nor do I think I would want it. ....I was talking about the women who just can't face the fact they are aging and will do anything they can to stop it. Or the women who don't want to grow old so they act like they are teenagers again. Thats a sad thing....... There was a post on FR the other day about a woman who was 47 yrs old, had a myspace, and took her 15 yr old daughter clubbing. She loved to go clubbing it was her hobby. She got so drunk that she drove down the wrong way on a highway, hit a man and killed her daughter's 16 yr old friend. Thats the kind of women I am talking about not you by any means. If you thought that I am very sorry . ~~Pandora~~

[bannie]

:-) We're good.
