| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/21/2007 6:56:22 AM | | First post on the forum, so I figured I would pick an easy one. For me placement and the tattoo itself are key. I dont have any tattoo's I have thought about it, and open to the idea, just nothing yet that I want to put on my body for the rest of my life. | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/21/2007 7:20:23 AM | I like tattoos, just not on me.The coloured ink ones are my favourite,as opposed to the thick black Tribal & Celtic ones.On a man, the forearms are a good place to have them displayed,along with shoulder blades & lower leg.Other than that,I don't have an opinion.

Message: I'm a 42 year old white color guy in the midwest. Tattoo's are definitley un-cool amongst most people my type. They seem cooler among the younger crowd and blue colar. I bet in other regions of the country tatoos could be popular amongst the white colar crowd. --------------------------------------------------------------------
I am white collar (notice the spelling, its NOT color) midwest and about your age. I like them but I think they need to be artistic and not just a blotch of ink. I have seen some that very few artists could accomplish on canvas, let alone on skin...
I"m all for skin art, as long as its artistic. No comics for me. | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/23/2007 1:34:41 AM | My opinion? MY tattoos are there to remind ME about something/help me remember something and help me express those remembrances and feelings to others - if they don't care to hear, and most don't, so be it. My tats are for ME...you don't like 'em, you don't like me, don't care to hear about me and my stuff - and so, are not someone I wanna be with. It helps if they're artistic/pretty, and then they're just fun to show off.
I think tats should be very personal - often, they aren't. I think if you're gonna have something on your body for the rest of your life, it oughtta mean something to you... | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/23/2007 6:44:24 AM | | Tattoos rock!!! I have to admit, I have a bit of a tattoo fetish. I only have one myself, and it needs to be fixed, but when I have it finished it'll be beautiful, and meaningful to me. That's the thing about tattoos, they should have meaning, not just something you do on a whim. | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/23/2007 1:53:26 PM | Thanks Nix7171
I sure plan on getting more. Obviously I really don't care what anyone thinks. I love tattoos!
I just took my mom to get her first tattoo for her 60th birthday and she wants more now! | |
|
| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/23/2007 3:11:23 PM | | I LOVE that! There was something like that on "Miami Ink" recently but it was more like mom and daughter getting complimentary tats...Go mom! They're addictive, watch out! | |
|
| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/23/2007 3:28:01 PM | | I have to go against the grain here and say i really don't like them on people. I just don't see the attraction of them. My personal opinion x | |
|
| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/23/2007 5:24:28 PM | I think tatoos are ok. I hate needles or I would have a bunch of them. My sister has a few. It was always "hey check this out but don't tell mom!" lol
I used to snowboard more and thought about getting one that said....
To Air is Human
LOL | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/24/2007 4:25:38 AM | I've been wanting one particular tat for 10 years (yes, I think I have thought about it just long enough) and so I am going on my 40th birthday to get that one done. The other one is a new idea, but I think it's a keeper as well.
One of the coolest tats I have ever seen was a guy with a Celtic cross that stretched from his ankle to his knee, very detailed and colorful, and wrapped around the leg. It was awesome!!!
I love tats--think for the most part, they are a very sexy form of self-expression. Cheers! | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/24/2007 6:33:04 AM | | I've seen tattoos that were very sexy on a woman, and I've seen some that should never been done. It is an art form that is ever evolving. Guys who get them to "try" to make themselves look tough, should get a life. Get them for the art and nostalgia factors, not your insecurities. | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/24/2007 3:45:29 PM | hey wot a great debate.... I happen to have 2 tattoos myself and i love them...They are in private places and all the blokes i have met love discovering them (and naming them for some strange reason)..... I do think they need to be in good taste though otherwise yes it looks naff....and yes i am a bit partial to blokes with tats, i find them a turn on .... well thats my opinion anway lol | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/24/2007 10:32:44 PM | | I don't have any tattoos, and I can't see a reason why I ever would. Neither do i like tattoos on a girl, I just don't think it looks good. Imean, I could easily get past it if I really liked a girl who had one, but I just don't like them. I know they are all the rage right now, which makes me like them even less. I can't see how putting something on your skin makes it any more important or have any more meaning, but that's just me. If you dig it, good on ya. | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/26/2007 7:25:57 AM | | I like them ,,as I look at it as an extension of your personality ,,,I have one and don't regret getting it..... | |
|
| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/26/2007 1:31:11 PM | Tasteful ones are nice. Personally, I don't like a guy who has tats all over his body including arms, legs, back and chest. And I don't like to see a woman like that either, but to each his/her own. BTW have been thinking about getting one on the small of my back, where my pants would cover. | |
|
| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/26/2007 3:38:30 PM | | I got my tattoos in San Diego California. I was a roller blader on the board walk and thought something on the small off my back would be so sexy. I Got a beautiful flower design that stretches across my lower back and I got complimented quite often. My other tattoo is on my ankle , it hurt as well but not as much on the lower back , it vibrated the bone and the skins very thin there being Im tiny to begin with. Your right you don't get to see it unless you look in a mirror but its there for all else to see. But I would consider more work on it, the pain really didn't bother me too much! | |
|
| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/26/2007 7:36:57 PM | are ppl really taking offense if someone doesn't like a tat? Why? If you want them, go get them.... Personally I don't, but I wouldn't expect anyone to dislike me for it.
Now smoking, there's an issue!
cheers! | |

| what is everyones opin on tattoos? Posted: 3/26/2007 7:59:30 PM | Ever seen the "White Cliffs " in Dublin? How about letting a kid with a bunch of spray bombs write his name, personal motto or political feeling across the face of the cliffs? To me a tat is about the same it's body grafitti and is defacing the natural beauty of what nature provided. | |
