Absolute vanity about tattoos.

Posted on 08/28/2007 9:06:17 PM PDT by ozaukeemom

Over the years, I have thought about getting a tattoo. Surprising considering my fear of needles! lol I see them everywhere on every classs of person, I see the artwork vary from onr body to another.What causes someone to decide to have a tattoo. Is it cultural? Is it a fad? I am seriously thinking about it now. Any stories, suggestions? Thank you!

My wife loves that show, I’ve never watched it. :) She has no tattoos, I have one on my right forearm; a black panther when I was in the Navy in ‘48.

It is a really nice place. I like the food and the atmosphere. Pretty ritzy for little Grafton. They have a site on-line.

It’s a permanent, visible testament to stupidity.

It’s ugly, garish and primitive.

It’s a fad, but unlike green hair, you can’t get rid of it.

It could hurt you if you ever wanted a conservative job or a conservative girlfriend.

Other than that, it’s great.

Any stories, suggestions? Thank you!

In eight years of active duty as a medical officer in the Navy in the 1980's, I saw hundreds if not thousands of old tattoos from 10 to 40 years old on both active duty and retired patients.

If you get a tattoo, no matter how great it looks at the present time, it will look horrible after enough time has passed.

You should also consider that female tattoos are a current fad but, unlike other fads, you can't just donate them to Goodwill or change them with a visit to the hairdresser after they are no longer fashionable and date you.

(I still remember a tattoo of a Smurf, of all things, on one sailor that he had gotten when he was 18 and still thought that Smurfs were cool.)

To use a male example, just imagine your husband or boyfriend trapped in an old, faded 1970's leisure suit he can't remove without scarring surgery.

That's my opinion but it is your body.

There are lots of ads now for faders and cremes that remove tattos.

It seems many are disenchanted and will spend big bucks, lots of time to get rid of them. I expect it ia a total new market for the makers of hydroquinine.

Would you like to rephrase your comment to ozaukeeMOM? :-)

Not that there's anything wrong with it. ;-)

There’s also skull deformation and foot binding, why limit yourself to just a tatoo?

One man's trash is another man's treasure?

Or, Beauty is in the eye's of the beholder?

Please explain the difference between those body modifications and body modifications done in western society like breast implants, face lifts, tummy tucks, hair coloring, shaving, etc.

At what point does one draw the line?

God gave men facial hair. Isn't it a body modification to shave hair off one's face?

God gave women hair under their arms and on their legs. Why not condemn women who modify their bodies by shaving?

Again, at what point does one draw the line?

He wasn't an Indian. He was an Italian American born in Louisiana named Espera DeCorti, the son of of Italian immigrants. IOW a fake just like Ward Churchill.

Which is to say, no more authentic an indian than George W. Bush is a rancher/cowboy.

If a girl wants to get noticed, get in shape physically. If a soft girl walks in with a tat, and a physically fit girl walks in without one, the guys will flock to the fit girl. There’s an evolutionary reason for that.

So, what happens when a physically-fit girl with a tattoo walks in and a soft girl without one walks in.

To whom will the guys flock then?

“Hot” & “Cold” have always been in the top 10..

I went to school with a gal many years ago that had “Sweet” and “Sour”.

I don’t know about passion. I would call it a carefully worded, clearly spelled out response to somebody that couldn’t comprehend their own hypocrisy. Seems I’ve gotten through to you. : )

How a person treats the lowest members of society says a lot about him. Bluefish is right, this doc is/was a jerk.

Oh puhlease! these are not widows and orphans or the downtrodden . They are the most violent, predatory wolves we have in our society. They brag about their rapes and murders, and use their gang and prison tattoos to intimidate. Maybe if you had a little more experience dealing with them then from the pages of a sociology text you would get a clue.
