Posted: 7/3/2007 12:23:53 AM | To say a lady with a tattoo isn't feminine is a wretched thing to say. It's the choice of the piece of art they get tattooed whether it's feminine or not.
I have a large tattoo in an open spot and I've never had anyone tell me it wasn't feminine or that it was ugly. In fact most people actually like it because it's not some piece of flash ink that 5000 other people have. My tattoo means a lot to me and I wouldn't date or befriend someone so close minded against tattoos. | |

Posted: 7/3/2007 5:59:36 AM | Some things I find ludicrous.
I would never in a million years have anything permanently etched on my skin. I couldn't care less what others do but I probably wouldn't get involved with someone with ink all over them. Breasts are a horrible place for tats. Lower back tats are also horrible. I've seen very few that were nice although I'd probably say "nice tattoo" or something along those lines out of politeness. Usually I just wouldn't say anything at all.
I have an aversion to almost any type of unnecessary body modification.
I can understand young kids getting tats due to peer pressure and trying to fit in or conform to whatever popular culture dictates. Tats are for image-conscious people who are slaves to fashion.
Older women in their forties are probably trying to stay young and it's the second childhood that they missed out on sometimes. Yeah, I think men get a sportscar and women get tattoos in their second childhoods. I hear all kinds of after-the-fact justifications for getting them but there are really only one or two reasons that people get them.
People who are susceptible to marketing campaigns and social pressures are very likely to get one. They actually think it's a conscious choice that they've made. I think it's hilariously childish how so many women say "I'll do whateva I want".
Life is not a popularity contest. The popularity of tattoos today will probably fade like the colors in those tats and then it's on to the next new fashion.
I'm sure your tattoo is very meaningful and symbolic of something though. People don't just do such frivolous things without a whole lot of thought. | |

Me, I would say that a tattoo is a replacement for personality. People who get them need to modify their exterior in order to "be" something, to have something about them. Instead of getting a personality they buy a expression that speaks for them so that they don't have to speak themselves. It's a typical treat for extroverts. | |

I work in the health care field and I can say that it will be a MAJOR health issue 20 yrs from now when people begin to have symptoms of Hepatitis of various stages. because it is already showing up now. Good luck to all. | |

Also, about tattoos deteriorating, again going to a reputable parlor, this probably isn't an issue, as there have been great advances with the inks used,
It's best to keep your tattoo out of the sun - the sun will fade a tattoo | |

Posted: 7/3/2007 2:22:56 PM | Every body has there own opinion on this topic same with any other topic but tats are an easy way for people to deal with pain sounds funny but you talk to a number of people who have more then one tat and y they are addicting isnt because they are cool but if you can get them to admit it it is because they compare the two pains of something wheather it be a divorce or something they are hurting at the time and the pain of a tat makes them fell better sounds stupid i know and people may think i am wrong but think about it if you have a couple of tats before you respond back to me on that .
But i think tats are good looking definetly on women i have two myself they both mean something to me to and one nipple peirced thats just because i wanted to know how painful it would be and i like it. | |

you have no clue, mine were for spiritual and deeply personal reasons. Not everyone is christan or wants to be, many societies uses tatts as symbols. My Thunderbirds represent my beliefs in the Creator and my native ancestry | |

Posted: 7/3/2007 5:45:18 PM | | This much I know, if I were to get a tattoo it would be something that I would want everyone to see. It would have to be some purpose or goal or standard to reach for that is so important that I needed to make it visibly part of me. Keep in mind though, I'm not looking down on those who just like the look of it, personally I often find tattoos on girls to be sexy. | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 3:55:06 AM | | I dont agree with you at all. Tattoos are not a replacement. I have 2 and i am thinking of getting another. I love both my tattoos. Tattoos have meanings to the people that get them. To go thru the pain (literally) just to be something or have something, is ludacris. | |

Any moron with an IQ above 10 can get a tattoo. A person of character doesn't feel the need for one.
And any moron with a computer can post here in the forums!! And character? Go to Websters and look it up. Let me help ya out there guy, Websters defines character as "moral excellence and firmness". So are you trying to say that tattoos are immoral? I'd like to know how you determined that or who died and named you God? Tattoos aren't for everyone, if they're not for you, and you don't want to date someone with them, just say so. There's no need to demonstrate your ignorance and prejudice on here. Once again, my 2¢ | |

Posted: 7/7/2007 10:19:45 AM | I need to answer in several ways.
Its in how you perseve your self, how is your self esteem, do you or have you made wise decisions, though critical questions, the are not meant to be "critical". Would you feel better about yourself with a picture permanently affixed to you, provided the artist did it right. That is the most problematic stage, is it not. Did you get the message to the artist correctly, do they in fact correctly understand the message and know how and / or will correctly put that message on you to convey it to whomever, permanently. Will you be a good medium to do that for, i.e. is the tone of your skin just right to hold the message, will the artist not twitch, have you been drinking or on blood pressure meds, is the artist higher than a kite? Provided everything is right-on-the-money, will you look good with that message on you to whom you want to look good for? I have had plenty of mistakes drilled in my self and others, you must ask this of yourself, "do you feel lucky punk?" Lets be realistic, a stick figure drawing only looks good when a 3yr old does it, so why would we want to pay good money or barter valuables for someone to take our artwork or theirs and drill a sloppy stick figure that may fade (that would be nice) or scar (look a 3D effect!). Will that message / artwork make you look better and help you feel better about yourself? Will it help you succeed in life in the direction you want to go. Trust me your opinion of spur-of-the-moment will change when your three your old walks into the bathroom while your sitting on the edge of the tub and says, here daddy, let me help you scrub those bad tattoos off, I love you daddy. And I considered that good quality ink! Narry a mistake, where is your eraser now, how about time travel! What message did you just not mean to send, when the three your old walk around with fake rub on tattoos on her arms and back when she is with other people and family, not even you! Unconsciously she is preparing to be just like you, do you want others imitating you? What ever you would want to change about yourself, don't do it now! | |

Posted: 7/7/2007 6:49:07 PM | | This topic seems to be getting way over the top. Some people like tatoos, some don't. I don't think we need to be judging people just because someone has a tatoo. But then, I have one so why would I judge. I think some people get carried away with the tatoos and piercing all over their faces and bodies. I have one little whale tatoo on my ankle and I waited and thought about it a lot. I was going on 50 when I got it. Now if you judgemental people think less of me because I have a small tatoo, you need to get a life. | |

Posted: 7/8/2007 3:02:20 AM | People - we are talking about ink here - are we not? Does the logo on your shirt define who you are? Does it need to have "meaning"? Your shoes - is Nike representative of your "class" or "morality"?
Let's keep this in perspective (again) - state your preference for or against permanent advertising of whatever - beliefs, religion, motorcycle preference, people. But why insult and demean those who choose a different way of expressing themselves than the purse they carry or the car they drive? It's all relative.
Personal choice is just that - personal. As are personal opinions. If you wish to air them - do so from yourself - not AT others.

Posted: 7/8/2007 3:57:06 PM | Great comment Deb.......
There are many of us that may have a tattoo or two, done tastefully, and ride a Harley, but it does not define the entire person or their abilities......
Being a productive member of society and leaving this place better then when I arrived is not determined by the bike I ride, or the ink I place on my body, but more with the character of my heart, soul, and mind, and how I use that for the betterment of all of us.....
I remember the days when I was criticized for my hair being longer, and wearing an earing when they were not so in fashion for all to wear. Playing sports and being the first one in the locker room with long hair that was shaped, earing, and blow dryer, was more than many of my fellow teammates could understand or even accept. Those were the days that we had barbers for men and not stylists, and I had to have some girls sneak me in to get my hair done without anyone seeing it.....go figure.
These same men that thought me so strange when we were playing sports so long ago, now all have their hair done, wear an earing, necklaces, nails done, etc., and now many of them look at those of us that ride and have tattoos the same way they did when I first had my ear pierced over 25 years ago.
I will not make fun of their Lexus if they will not judge my personal tastes as well.....
Just my opinion.......   | |

Posted: 7/9/2007 2:59:07 AM | I say no !
Tatoos on women are a big turnoff !
A small one that is pretty may be acceptable and should be hidden.
Although I don´t want to be distracted by an aligator or a bumble bee in a womans ass or boobs when we are making love.
It gives a person a cheap look !

Posted: 7/9/2007 7:54:20 PM | ok, different strokes for different folks...
if you don't like them fine, no need for you to pass judgement on people who have them or be condescending. keep your prostylizing to yourself....
personally, i like them, within reason, if it means something or has some sentimental value, fine, if its just something you saw in the flash book that was 'cute' when you were tipsy, eh not so much.... | |

Pardon me, I'm so ignorant at times and very bashful though I used to be very bold!
  But wasn't the OP asking our oppinion of Tatoos, inking the skin through needlepoint?  
And Being from the Bible Belt, possibly been to Church, how does one or can one justify stinkin-inkin of their precious Temple of God from a Scriptural standpoint? 
How or Where in the Bible does it Defend getting Tatoos either being Jewish or Christian?
Or is it like the Premarital sex and adultery issue. Most of the vanguard of Christians have read that the two are not defended to participate in yet there are others who slide into the back row where it's dark and do they lie to themselves and say 'but I'm forgiven of my sins, so I can just repent and do it again next week', is this how many Christians defend pagean tatoos?
Alright ladies, if there are any, step right up, and we can take a beltsander to that thar spider-like ink-blot and after ye heal you might git pretty there again!

Posted: 7/10/2007 10:54:33 AM | | AmouredKnight what does religion have to do this other than as a totally personal issue between ourselves and the creator. I was raised in the bible belt was forced into church ever sunday for years and saw the hipocrasy for myself, I choose to follow the path of my ancestors which is something you couldnt understand I'm sure because you do not know what it is to feel sacred land under your feet and recoginize it. If you don't like tattoos stay away from people that have them but don't preach to us, we dont need it. | |
