Sad to see otherwise attractive females with trashy tattoos.
In the South, they’re called tramp stamps.
Walk into a store in CA and half the woman have these gawdy tattoos...It’s like the carnival arrived and town and never left. Carnival workers seem to be everywhere.
I like the one’s that say, “In memory of blabla” as if anyone knows who blabla is. Or they put their last name across their back...And the insect tattoos...WTF is up with that?
The thing about tattoos is they don’t age well. Bad enough at 40 or 50 but imagine what they will look like with the paper thin, wrinkled skin of a senior
Won’t date chicks with any tattoo. Period. Sign of dissatisfaction with self. I’ve got other priorities, like building a business. They’re headed for a strict religious cult. Or worse.
Not sure what happened to women, but too many have no anchor in reality. I’m not picking up the tab.
Good article. America is devolving into an uncivilized tribal culture. Tatoos are an amalgam of statements about beliefs, phobias, fears, hopes, wishes and aspirations...all centered on what WE feel and what WE believe. They’re the superstitions of modern society. At one time it was understood that we don’t NEED external markers and symbols to make things happen or to express our “selves”. It was understood that God’s ways too priority and that we should decrease ourselves in order to increase Him.
Wait till the cellulite and fat cells start getting full.
If I were dating, it would definitely let me know who to cross right off my list. Nothing says “stupid” quite like a tattoo.
Tattoos, body piercing & those ridiculous nose rings...I just don’t get why people would marr their bodies. Not attractive at all. Total turn off.
I’m not anti-tat, but don’t have any myself. My Dad just about MURDERED us when Sis and I pierced our own ears the year I was a Junior and she a Freshman. If I had gotten a tattoo, I’d STILL be grounded, LOL!
Just a few tattoo-related episodes:
Best Girlfriend - had to have her Wedding Dress lace re-work to HIDE her top-of-the-breast tattoo. And this was 30+ years ago! Her mother REFUSED to let her walk down the aisle, ‘looking like THAT!’ (They’re still married; he’s very tattooed!)
When we were dating, my Ex had a heart and banner tattooed on his upper arm that said, ‘True Love.’ (This was the Navy SEAL guy.) After we got married, he added a banner above that read, ‘My’ and below that read, ‘Diana.’ So, it was, ‘My True Love Diana.’ We divorced 10 years later. Guess I wasn’t his ‘True Love’ after all? ;) When he remarried, his new wife made him have the ‘my’ and the ‘Diana’ blacked out. I STILL chuckle about that all these many, MANY years later. ;)
Yes, I’m mean and vindictive that way. And I hope it hurt!
“Tattoo” - The Who
Me and my brother were talking to each other
‘Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born
We just couldn’t understand
Our old man didn’t like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed
Welcome to my life, tattoo
I’m a man now, thanks to you
I expect I’ll regret you
But the skin graft man won’t get you
You’l be there when I die
Tattoo
My dad beat me ‘cause mine said “Mother”
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
‘Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We’ve a long time together, me and you
I expect I’ll regret you
But the skin graft man won’t get you
You’ll be there when I die
Tattoo
Now I’m older, I’m tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you
I hate tattoos. I really hate black tattoos on White women. It just makes their arms, etc., look dirty. My mid-30’s hair stylist has 3 small tattoos. She said they were the result of two things, drinking too much in Vegas and peer pressure. She said she wishes she didn’t have them......and she’s only mid-30’s. They aren’t even noticeable, but she says she would have them removed, if it were cheaper to do so.
To which I respond: If I want to know that much about you, I'll buy your autobiography. I don't want to see the cartoon version.
And then there’s the subject of Graffiti, and how now it’s everywhere.
It was very disappointing on my recent trip to Europe to see it EVERYWHERE.
Taggers should be shot.
I think having tattoos is a lower class look. And, what’s wrong with the way G-d made you? You think you have to mask it?
All those monster tats that young dudes and chicks get today are going to look like crap in their 60's.......
Wow! I guess I am stupid and so much more! I have three tats on my upper back. Each one was thought through carefully. I was 49 when I got the 1st one. It was not due to being drunk, or in love or low self-esteem etc. They do not show, unless I wish them to. I had no idea how judged I would be here.
Nobody’s appearance has ever been improved by a tattoo.
