I’m really getting saddened by the tattoos.. That’s not the right word.,
My sister and I went to this gorgeous wedding a few weeks ago which I know must have set the bride and groom back a lot of money.
The bride had on a standard strapless dress, and during the service she had s little caplet which covered her cleavage. All the maids had the same thing.
We get to the reception, and the bride and most of her maids were coverd chest tattoos and back tattoos. IMHO, they made the dresses look cheap, and I really think they made the girls less beautiful.
I’m only mentioning it because this is the first time I’m noticing girls in NJ are evolving from tramp stsmps to major stuff.
I wonder how they will feel when they are 60 or older with their inked bodies,
I personally have never understood the attraction of tattoos, but never thought much of them when people had them in places where they wouldn’t be seen when wearing normal clothing (which I believe is the military requirement now). Nowadays it seems like a competition for “freak of the year”, with facial/neck tattoos and such; I can’t believe that some people aren’t tattoooing themselves out of whole sectors of the workplace with them. I recall seeing something where people described an “addiction” to getting tattoos; I see them more as a sign of boredom by people experiencing feelings of being inconsequential or going through mid-life crises (a female co-worker in her 50s with a tramp-stamp was just sad...).
I just don’t get it; I’m not hip or cool (and proud to be neither).
Things aren’t much better here in PA. A few weeks ago, I went to an amusement park that I hadn’t been to for the better part of a decade, and everywhere you looked, there were people covered with tattoos and piercings from top to bottom. Plenty of them were smokers as well. They toted around sickly kids who looked like they’d taken a backseat to Mom and Dad’s destructive habits.
Part of me wonders if this is the byproduct of the self-entitled, all-about-me mentality: that people are so desperate for attention that they’ll do anything - including anything to themselves - to get noticed or fit in.
I don’t know what causes people to disfigure themselves, but it certainly doesn’t make me think well of them.
I went to one a lot like it.
A relative got married at a nice place and it was a nice setup and not cheap.
So many of the bridesmaids had tattoos and a few were really overweight. It was sad. There were several lady guests that were inked so much it turned me off the dinner (well almost).
