Hey, I am just reporting what I read..,maybe 99.9 percent LIKE pain from strangers. Beats me! (pardon the pun)...but I'll never find out!
...and, if you read it on the internet--it must be true!!! 
And I am having a GREAT day. Killing a couple of hours looking up all of these funny tat links, though.
looks like you took great pains (pun intended) to derive such pleasure from looking up all these funny tatt links, though. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 9:20:27 PM | Well I think there's some truth to the matter. Have you ever known anyone who was addicted to tattoes? I know there are folks who are addicted to plastic surgery. One successful alteration leads to more, more, more.....don't ya think it's quite possible ?
I've known some women who just wanted one small tat. Soon they have sleeves of 'em. Don't ya think some may get out of hand? maybe an intervention ? | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 11:38:20 PM | ^^^that's known as "ink fever", and yes, it is totally plausible, just like every other thing that can turn into an addiction (shopping, gambling, freakin' reality shows, posting on forums... ), if we let it. therein lies the rub.... | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 2:35:03 AM | | I have three of them!!! And they all have meaning... I always wanted one, and when my daughter turned 18, she wanted one. So we went together and got our first one...And then our second & third. She wants another one but I have a weight goal and will not get my fourth & last till then. But I love mine, they stand for special dates or events in my life!!! Not everyone is a "Tat" person! I do not have large ones but they are definitely visible most of the time... | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 2:41:47 AM | Actually, it was a PRO tattoo site. Not one interested in keeping skin scar free. Have you tried branding as well? I understand that's the next step for tattoo folk. Seems like it would get all the pain over in a second. I know they do skin injections of material to create bumps, etc., and that they do piercings and hole openings, but do tattoo shops do the branding as well, or is that a subspeciality you'd have to get at a higher end shop?
Seems like if you were really committed to the message, you'd have it branded on your body...no chance of removal then. Got to be cheaper too. | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 4:21:23 AM | | Shame on the man that put you down for your tattos . The lady that shared she has many now and some priecings too. I am a grand mother now. I put tatoos in when I was locked up for running away from home. It was a dot on each finger. All the girls knew what it meant. And that was the reason I did it. To let them think I knew the ropes. when I got out I was 16 and put rings on my fingers to cover some of the dots. I forgot about them until someone would see them and ask why I did it. I couldnt or wouldnt tell them I was locked up so I ended up having them removed. Only to go to a tatoo artist at the age of 36 and get some where the sun dont shine. My way of telling the world I just dont care what they think and if they dont like it take a hike. Tired of allowing others to make me feel ashamed of myself that is what that poor man was trying to do to you. Wonder why?? | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 7:17:23 AM | So caroleanneb, do you admit your ''dots" were a mistake? I mean..you did try to cover them up. They were just dots ! Could you imagine great big ones, some people get in haste. I'm just sayin'...there is a possibility of regret.
Those probably weren't just ordinary dots...but a tiny view of what the earth looks like from the sun. That's it. | |

You go ahead and call me judgmental and closed-minded. Tattoos are stupid. They are bad choices by people looking for attention, end of story.
OK you're judgemental and close minded. | |

Actually, Den...I do not think you are close minded and judgemental for disliking tattoos...I think you are such for lumping ALL people into one category, such as the "They have issues and all the other reasons are excuses!" THAT is just an ignorant comment, especially when the information you choose to share, is the extreme. (The link...duh oh...those were not "typical" examples.)
My biggest gripe about people who are anti-tattoo, is that you all probably know plenty of folks who you think are great people...and you have no idea that they have ink! Would you suddenly start to think less of them, if you discovered they were inked?
And regarding the comment made to the fellow who has 3/4 of his bod inked...OP, it's not because we don't LIKE our skin, for petes sake! It's an enhancement...no different than adding some jewelry, make up, or other embellishment, except in the fact that it is permanent. I don't wear make up because I dislike my face! LOL I wear make up to enhance. Some people hang art in their homes...some people wear it on their bods. To each their own...but please do not lump me into a category of needing to draw attention...if that were the case, I would have done something blatant like the lady who inked her forehead! ($10,000....not enough for me, thank you!) | |

I was going to leave this one alone.....but
nothing like sweeping generalizations to try to make a point.
that's like saying all those Aleve users in the world are doomed to a life of heron addiction!!
TFF!!! | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 9:57:14 AM | | My Son had his last name put on his back. Looks great I think! Was neat and clean. I personally do not have any tats. If I were ever to get one, I think it would be a tiny fairy somewhere discreet. I am really not a big fan of tats, however, do not knock or cast judgements on those who choose to do so. For the ones in here that have done just that, for shame! | |

Hmmm Ms kat~
In your profile you consistently use some revealing and 'colorful language' to boot:
Ummm...I fail to see the relevance in this...could you clarify? ;)
I have been on POF for 5 years...and I have read many a *yawn* boring profile, just as many vanilla ones. My profile is more neapolitan...my humor, my quirkiness...cause it is...well...MY profile. ;) And yes, I can cuss like a sailor! ;)
But again...what does this have to do with the thread? | |

This country guarantees you the right to do stupid things. It also guarantees me the right to remind you, that "That' s stupid." I never even thought about the pain thing, until I read it on a pro-tattoo site. Seems like those that get them LIKE the pain, according to the blog. Whatever. It helps them remember the installation. And apparently, upon further reading, branding is the next form of body mutilation after tattooing loses it's kick. I think the piercing is before that, though. How many piercings do you have?
Maybe you could just wear spiked underwear? | |

I'm reminded of my own personal policy to refrain from using the word "stupid." A person's decision may be ill-informed (making it based on ignorance) or contrary to the choice I would make for myself, but that hardly equates "stupid" (implying a lack of knowledge coupled with the inability to learn).
Seems like those that get them LIKE the pain, according to the blog.
You get your data from a the blog of a complete stranger and you have the unmitigated gall to insist someone else is stupid?!
Wow! If I had only known I was into pain! I would have tried soooo many more things in my lifetime. I haven't even been on a motorcycle in over 25 years cuz I was afraid I might get hurt... or killed -- the ULTIMATE pain.

Posted: 7/7/2008 11:00:39 AM | Totally agree with Windroper, on pain not being the reason to get inked...but I have to admit, there is a sense of accomplishment or victory (for lack of better words) that goes along with the entire ink process.
It's really similar to what one feels like after enduring natural childbirth when they could have had an epidural...or fight club sort of victories...where they battle it out to test their endurance and pain tolerance.
And PS...they have "pain free" tattooing now. ;) Me...I never went for such. | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 11:27:58 AM | It's interesting how my views of things have changed over the years,....
a few years back my then 18 year old who was on the other coast as part of new reserves military career,...came home sporting an armful of chines lettering tattoo,...
As a relative newly single mom,...several things went through my head,...
the first,...I could see my ex's lawyer was going to blame this on me,...
The second, how do I handle this like a cool mom,....
I decided to,...instead ask him what the letters mean,....
Proudly he answered,...YOU NEED ONLY DEPEND ON YOURSELF,....sheeeesh!
Now how the he!! do you **** about that???
A few month later I found out but it was too late to make the right impact,....
Turns out a clerk at a store who served the boy and I, whispered to me that she noticed my son's tattoo and the horrible handwriting of the tattoo artist who applied it,....
Now that hadn't even occurred to me that just because it all looks the same to me that handwriting comes in sloppy and artistic in any language,....of course it does,..why wouldn't it?
The worst thing!!! sloppy writing is even more fitting for my son,...
sometimes you just can't win,....

Posted: 7/7/2008 12:08:16 PM | HarleyKat, when I got my most recent tat I spent the first minute of the process thinking to myself "WTH made me think I wanted to do this again?!"... which is exactly the same thing I thought when I was in labor for my third child.
Hey! Do you suppose this vein of the discussion would also support the hypothesis that all biological mothers with more than one child are addicted to pain and therefore unstable and therefore are not fit parents?
I hadn't heard about "pain free" tattooing. I did have local anesthetic when I had my eye brows and liner done. I can't imagine getting semi-permanent makeup otherwise. | |
|
| Grandma, show us your new tattoo!
Posted: 7/7/2008 12:43:24 PM | I think the "pain free" tattooing is a spray on anesthetic...I dunno for sure. The way I viewed it...and I have never inked the make up!! lol...is that if I could not stand the heat in the kitchen, I needn't be there! ;)
Yeah...that hypothesis sounds...accurate?! We are just gluttons for punishment and are unfit parents, after all! | |
|

Posted: 7/7/2008 1:58:23 PM | "I did have local anesthetic when I had my eye brows and liner done."
Ha..! Well, there we go. Some people are never happy about themselves. "Most recent tat" indeed. Cut this, paint that...and apparently you LIKED the pain of labor, or you'd had an epidural all three times.
But it's your business to do something stupid, and I've defended that. Are you just so upset BECAUSE I think it's stupid?
You are confusing data with anecdotal evidence. I never said there was data, because most would lie about why the got a tattoo anyway " Me? Oh, I got one because I am a cutter...yeah, I just like that knife on the skin thing...". What I said is that when you research why people get tattoos, the term "exquisite pain" comes up. Gee, I am real suprised you two haven't been branded. Same principal. Probably more exquisite.
The richest guy in America will be the guy who figures out how to remove tattoos cheaply without a scar...Look out Bill Gates... | |

| Grandma, show us your new tattoo!
Posted: 7/7/2008 2:44:28 PM | Yeah, I suppose I could go without makeup... just like I could not dye my hair, shave my legs and pits, and run around naked or in sackcloth... but I CHOOSE otherwise and live in a country where I am free to do so. I elected to get semi-permanent makeup cuz I have difficulty applying eye makeup due to failing eyesight. I'm vain. So sue me. Oh wait! You can't! Cuz it doesn't impact you. LOL!
When YOU can pull a Cabbage Patch Doll out of your penis THEN come talk to me about epidurals. YOU don't know me, anything about me, or the circumstances surrounding the birth of my children; therefore, you know nothing about that of which you speak. What we want and expect to happen during the labor/delivery process is not always what we get due to circumstances beyond our control. Believing epidurals to be the Cadillac of anesthesia I can't imagine anyone choosing to 'go natural' and I d*** sure didn't, but (as Granny always said) sh** in one hand and want in the other and see which fills up first.
Are you just so upset BECAUSE I think it's stupid?
I'm not upset. Generally speaking, other peoples' ingnorance doesn't disturb or effect me (unless they happen to be elected officials in my area). You seem to be the only one around here with your panties in a knot cuz folks won't just lay down and allow you to walk on them and put words in their mouthes. You can say/think whatever you want about people in general, but when you start dealing in falsehoods and misinformation I will challenge it. That's the beautiful thing about this great country. I can! If that threatens you, perhaps you should have those useless testicles removed (speaking of cutting). | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 4:23:40 PM | I say if it's what you want to do then go for it..it's about the individual's choice..
The most unusual one I've seen was a mate of mine got a cat tatooed on his belly with his belly-button representing the cats ass with her tail up under his right arm and her looking over her shoulder from his left rib-cage..I thought it was cool, but I wouldn't have it myself..
I've always wanted to have a few piercings and recently got one on my nip's done and my ear, my partner threw a real hiss- fit and said it reflected on my moral judgement..!! we did discuss it prior to the event and she had no objections till it happened..so it's hard to predict what people will think..different strokes..!! | |

Posted: 7/7/2008 7:11:20 PM | Look, you like pain. You hate anyone who might disagree with you view of cutting your self, so much that you call them names, and want to cut off their testicles. Falsehoods? Because YOU say so? You can throw around whatever "chat weight" you think you have and it won't make you any more credible to me. Maybe you have a group of sycophants who snuff up your bottom on a chat board, and it gives you that "YOU DON'T THINK LIKE US" attitude.
Whatever. You haven't convinced me that you weren't stupid for getting a tattoo, and you are pitching such a **** about the pain thing, that I'm surely convinced I'm right.
Like a care about your "Cabbage Patch" childbirth! And I WOULDN'T know you. There's a level of ignorance I can't reach down to. Yell up to me with a description. Wjy do I have the feeling that you are the woman with "I'M AWSOME" on her back.... | |

Falsehoods? Because YOU say so?
No. Because I and several people already have denied that such is true of all persons but you just keep shoveling the same BS.
Look, you like pain.
Once again, that is either a preconceived misconception based on the "anecdotal evidence" (AKA BS) you posted or lie on your part. Take your pick. You'll note that univeral truth or truth as it pertains to me personally were not options.
You hate anyone who might disagree with you view of cutting your self, so much that you call them names, and want to cut off their testicles.
Another misrepresentation of the facts. YOU are the one calling people stupid. Did I miss the memo where that became a term of endearment? And I didn't offer to castrate you or anyone else. I recommended you do it yourself. Unlike you, I don't believe that assaulting others (physically OR verbally) makes you a man anymore than I believe behaving like a pr*** proves you have one. I was demonstrating a point. So, on the contrary, I don't hate you. I don't even know you... but I do appreciate you taking part in and reinforcing the demonstration.
You can throw around whatever "chat weight" you think you have and it won't make you any more credible to me. Maybe you have a group of sycophants who snuff up your bottom on a chat board, and it gives you that "YOU DON'T THINK LIKE US" attitude.
I don't know what weight you speak of other than what I'm carrying in my 'trunk.' I'm no one of consequence around here and I certainly don't have any group or 'gang.' IF I'm more readily accepted/embraced by some others perhaps you should take a lesson about being an approachable person someone would WANT to know.
You haven't convinced me that you weren't stupid for getting a tattoo
Nor do I have/need to. As I stated previously, I posted as a rebuttal to your post which is perpetuating ignorance, prejudice and stereotypes. You're welcome to say "IMO blah, blah, blah..." but you cannot represent your opinions as facts and realistically expect them to go unchallenged by everybody.
and you are pitching such a **** about the pain thing, that I'm surely convinced I'm right.
Cuz you have a freaking reading comprehension problem?! I'm "pitching a ****" about the LIE thing, the RUDE thing, and the ABUSIVE thing. If you don't like it, talk to TPTB and draw attention to your own disregard for forum rules and others. Otherwise, suck it up and take it like a man.
Like a care about your "Cabbage Patch" childbirth!
Yes, you've made it quite obvious that you don't give a f*** about a d*** thing but being right even when you're wrong which appears to be most if not all the time.
And I WOULDN'T know you.
Thank you, Lord, cuz I cannot abide fools who think they have everybody pegged after a simple interaction.
There's a level of ignorance I can't reach down to.
Cuz they won't let you repeat Pre-K a FIFTH time? LOL! You wouldn't find me down there anyway. I'm light years ahead of your conventional, self-righteous, traditional, graduated-from-the-top-of-your-class-from-the-university-of-my-daddy/minister-said-so mind set.
[Wjy do I have the feeling that you are the woman with "I'M AWSOME" on her back....
Cuz you're in a perpectual state of confusion and inaccuracy.
Heh! Reading back over my post... you're right! I AM awesome. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 7:26:19 AM | man oh man......man oh man......
Sometimes I wish there were "cabbage patch" births and that someone's mother should have left him there, to be confused with a turnip.
Ya'll chill.
Although I do find tattoes distasteful, it doesn't mean I find the PERSON to be that way, it's just adornment to them. But out and out hatred for people and their choices, is the worst kind of ugly. | |
