Why?

Re: Tattoos

You got the turds on so decide to start an argument? Because freedom to draw pictures on our bodies that don't wash off. You have the freedom to mutter derogatory remarks behind our backs when you're confident we can't hear you JayInOz

Re: Tattoos

Why?

By the time some kids hit the age of 18, they are so fed up with the authoritarian system that they have been part of (which you ran), they want to rebel a bit. I imagine they'd be particularly pleased to flaunt their tatts in front of you.

Maybe you could enlighten us with the educational theories as to why the want to rebel?

Just because you can do something, etc...
Would you give this guy a front of house job?

If he could put a smile on his face. Hell, I even hired one waitress with pumped up tits, so, what's the difference?

Re: Tattoos

I get the point of tattoos, I don't get having them on your neck or face. Given that most neck and face tattoos look like you got seriously out of it with a bunch of mates in a tattoo parlour.

What strikes me is that human canvas is in general immediately aggressively defensive - are you trying to mask regret?

Re: Tattoos

I'm happy with mine, small and somewhat inconspicuous though it is. Its a pictorial representation of my ancestral connections and my own current connections, Im pleased its there.

All of my tattoos have meaning to me. All are hidden most of the time. If people don't like tattoos that's fine. They have every right to keep their opinions to themselves

I don't have any ink, but my daughter has, some of her own design that do have significant meaning for her.

Re: Tattoos

i suppose if i survived a war or shipwreck , a tat would fit.
i think todays youth do it to shock. "i survived a trip to disneyland".a cute butterfly hidden on my ankle sounds original
but it dont shock no mo,see?
maybe a bolt through yer nose or a spare shackle in yer cheek.ya that don't work anymore either
so maybe a change of gender might be mo shocking...chick grow a beard, dude grow boobs. thats working.
oh wait, i DID survive a shipwreck

I, too, have no ink - after 12 years in the Navy (needles of any kind, and I, do not get along) - my daughter and son-in-law have several each, and my nephew , is a skilled tattoo artist in Southern California. It was quite an interesting occurrence, when my father-in-law caught sight of the daughter's first tattoo, while the family was having a swim party !

Re: Tattoos

There's zero shock value in Tatts anymore.
It's a fascinating thing; we admire ink drawings on bodies but are repelled by blemishes.
We like everything designed, nature is tamed.
I think there's a root fear of death or something at the heart of it.

People get tats as an expression of their individuality. Go them. Who gives a rats?
Frikkin everyone has tats now it seems - cept me.

A friend went to get one recently and the artist urged her not to. He said non-ink bodies are getting so rare it's more expressive of individuality to not have one.
