I see, tattoos are wrong unless you approve. Let us know what else needs your stamp of approval. It seems we’ve been doing it wrong all this time without your insight. Finally - whew!

I liked the article, too. I’m neutral on tattoos (except on people living in my house), but it was enjoyable to read the author’s take.

Actually, no, I don’t. Your guess is wrong. As is your claim that tats are for felons. It is your “opinion” that it is low class and trashy. And, we all know that opinions are like anuses; everyone has ‘em and many of them stink.

And obviously if you are Polynesian and have thousands of years of spiritual tradition behind your tattoos feel free to disregard all of this. (More specifically, if you are a giant Samoan, Tongan, or Maori—are there any other kind?—please don’t hurt me for maligning your cultural heritage.)

Aww, I was just about to hurt him until he put this 'out' in his article. :o)

A timesaver. So, you, at least in your youth, sought out easy women for sexual gratification. IOW, you actively consorted with "low class women".

I see.

The post was written to be a humorous one about a friend and his tattoos! I actually don’t give a rats ass what squiggly lines you have someone put on your skin!

Obviously you have deep self doubts as to if it was the proper thing to do or you wouldn’t act like a offended snowflake. A snowflake with poor reading comprehension skills to boot!

And if you ever need an MRI try not to scream too much when you find out the tattoo artist used metals in his inks!

“Ok, specifically what crime were you asked to investigate?”


I have never understood why they are not happy with the natural beauty that God gave them. Why mess it up with that ugly, disfiguring crap?

“Seems to me there must be some chemical/enzyme process that could do it.”


Sulphuric acid?

This is your quote that I was responding to in 267:

Sad to see otherwise attractive females with trashy tattoos.

Nope. Just call ‘em as I see ‘em. As far as being a “newbie’, I guess you’re qualified to throw around playground insults.

Let’s try this - I’m a former combat zone serving Vet. And I was a member of FR from 1997-2008 before I took a little hiatus.

Any who in their youth didn’t go carousing with whatever was likely to lead to satisfaction?

I know right? I still come from a world where the only people with tattoos were sailors, ex-cons, and carnies, but I repeat myself.

Not in the market but I would not even consider a woman with a tattoo. I find them very distasteful and a very very sad thing to do to creamy soft skin.

You go girl....!!!
I have ink and I’m far from what some people (around here) think...
I’m well educated and speak 4 languages.
I have a good income, live in my own house and don’t own anything to anyone.

Nothing says “stupid” quite like a tattoo.

Key phrase of this whole thread.

What a lot of words to say “I don’t like them, so it must be a problem”.

MYOB.

BTW, I’m not a big fan either, escpecially on pretty girls.

*Chuckle* That’s OK. I’m not a full-time political junkie any more.

(But my old curmudgeonly side reappears a couple of times a year.)

I rejoined FR last year just to enjoy the MAGA experience.
