It doesn't look good thats for sure. I also have judged people for having them (and I have one). Thats not their problem its mine for judging. I can still tell my kid to be smart and stay away from them because he will regret it.
Tattoos are a sign of ignorance and stupidity, and the greater the acreage covered, the greater the ignorance and stupidity. Tattoos are unlike any other "fashion" statement in that they are for all time. Imagine having a nehru jacket stitched permanently to your body.
Tattoos are no longer a mark of individuality but conformance. The truly rebellious youth will keep his flesh pristine.
I can't believe someone else on FR knows who Depeche Mode is. Thought I was the only one. :)
PS They're really not that gloomy.
So, what does it mean?
I've got a full-body tattoo.
It was done with invisible ink.
I'm thinking about having it removed.

I don't know. I think kids that age would think it's neat. I don't think it damages them or anything. I really don't know, though. I'm not a parent yet. Maybe I'll feel differently when I am.

Is cutting a scarring your body a "neat" activity to share with little children?
It does beg the question: "What's next for Miss Showentell?" Boob job?

I imagine class attendance will be 100% when she gets her ass tattooed. |
I hope she talks with a few parents first, like with the mutilation done on the leg.
Don't hold your breath.
So she has one, and it's visible. Fine. But I don't need my four-year-old getting a step-by-step lesson in tattoo "art."
They may not be able to understand from the standpoint you refer to, but what about simple little tidbits "This is an example of an art form that has been practiced by most cultures in the world for a very long time, even before they met each other"
The smart ones will start asking questions now.
The slower ones will have that to hold onto as they move from finger-paint to pencil shading.
Either way, it's a perfectly legit art, steeped in numerous cultures and is something they will be seeing fairly frequently in the years to come.
My rhyming wisdom for the day.
I think you should definitely get that STFU tat on your forehead. It will readily identify you so people can avoid any conversation with you. Excellent idea.
If you live in Seattle long enough the concept of no one ever talking to you again....and by "talking" I mean "complete strangers spittling their leftist vitriol in your face at every inappropriate venue"....starts sounding like a wet dream.
And when this teacher decides to get her nipples or labia pierced? Will she turn THAT into a lesson plan too?
I have to agree....when everyone was piercing and tatooing...I decided to go against the flow...and dont't even have pierced ears. I tend to express myself through clothes and art that is readily changeable.
