Posted: 10/31/2007 4:48:11 AM | This being Halloween and all, a chick with a tat of a flaming skull would be kind of interesting. But then tomorrow morning I'd hope to not see it for another year.  | |

Posted: 10/31/2007 5:13:06 AM | I have 3 tattoos and I love them. I do think however that there is a difference between classy and trashy tattoos.
Personally I think that huge tats of dragons etc dont look good on womens arms, but thats just my opinion.
Different strokes for different folks.  | |

Posted: 10/31/2007 8:29:07 AM | Tatttoos are one of those things that I just don't understand. Sure as the original reply said it is your body do what you want to it, I'm not saying you can't get a tattoo and I won't stop you, but at the same time I wouldn't date you, probably.
I am still waiting for someone to just once explain to me why they got a tattoo. Noone ever has been able to give me a logical reason. I will conced religious/spiritual reasons, but besides that why? To remember a special person or event? How bad if your memory that you need to deface your own body to remember something?
It makes you look trashy, shows you can't make logical decisions and don't comtemplate your actions. But that's just one guys opinion. | |

I’m glad you said that, I was beginning to think no one else thought that. I just don’t understand the need to disfigure your self with a tattoo. The small ones are ok I guess, but anything more is just plain nasty on a woman or a man. | |

Posted: 10/31/2007 9:03:41 AM | from my point of view and from an artist who appreciates all kinds of art theres many reason why i have ink on me.
one of them being that why cant my body be a canvas too as my ink is all of my designs... they are completly unique, one of a kind. plus they tell a story of part of a important journey in my life which is why it isnt quite finished yet and i think they are logical reasons enough.
they tell a story, they make a person stand out from the crowd and some buddhist types in thailand believe that by giving the body as much experience as possible in life it tuffens the soul for the next.
they also say you can use your tattoos when you die as currency in the next life to gain a higer standing .. i kinda like that which is why i have ink | |

Posted: 10/31/2007 10:23:02 AM | | I'm really surprised at how many guys are saying tattoos are a definite turnOFF. And to the guys who say they're not feminine or they look rough, that only depends on what the girl gets. If a woman has knives and skulls and crossbones or something, then yeah, that's a bit out there. But I have 2 Hello Kitty tattoos, come on how rough can Hello Kitty possibly be lol. I have my sons name done in green because he has the most beautiful hazel green eyes. It's done in a very nice script, nothing rough about it. I have a small blue flower symbolizing a beautiful time in my life.. are flowers rough? Small light blue flowers? That's just half of what I have, I won't go on.. my point is not every girl gets tacky tattoos that take away from her femininity. | |

Posted: 10/31/2007 5:00:58 PM | Uber, let me reply, and by no means are these attacks on you, but the reasons you give are the same reasons everyone gives, but you did not justify (for lack of a better term) them and so they aren't reasons at all, but excuses. So this reply may give others a bit of understanding of why tattoos just do not make sense.
one of them being that why cant my body be a canvas too
Noone is saying it can't be, but 'because I can' has never been a good excuse to do anything, and so far that is your logic. I'm not looking for justification on why you think you should be able to mark up your body, you should be able to, it's your body, you have that right. I have that right too.
Ok, so that's settled, you have the right to, you can, I would just really like to know why someone WOULD, just 1 logical reason please.
my ink is all of my designs... they are completly unique, one of a kind.
Congrats, on a good day I can draw a circle, seriously art in the form of drawings is something I have no tallent at and am amazed when people draw things. I am, however, exceptionally good at software engineering, data processing and computer programming. Yet I have never felt the need to graft motherboards onto my skin (as cool as that would be).
Along the lines of the idea that it is your original work, I then have a question for you. Did you one day wake up and say, "I really want a picture on my ass (or other body part)" and then proceed to draw some pictures until you found one you liked, OR, were you doodling one day and out of the blue exclaimed, "I love this picture, I want it on my ass! (or other body part)"?
plus they tell a story of part of a important journey in my life which is why it isnt quite finished yet
Such a great story that you would forget it if you didn't get inked? A story which you must relate to others and you are blind, mute quadriplegic and this is the only way left you can communicate and tell your story?
and i think they are logical reasons enough.
No. You have yet to give 1 reason, much less 1 logical reason.
some buddhist types in thailand
So you are a buddhist from Thailand? Like I had mentioned, I can accept religious reasons for it, and often people, after having this conversation with me will eventually, while grasping at straws, mention religion. Congrats you mentioned it, but it is painfully obvious that religion is not the reason you got inked.
"some buddhist types in thailand believe", that's what you said, not "I believe".
I have no doubt that you believe that buddhists in Thailand believe this. I have no doubt that you think it is a pretty cool belief, hey so do I. However, I seriously doubt that you personally believe it (for no other reason then you said "buddhist types" and not "I") So what you are telling me (if this is your reason) is that you defaced your body because of a religion you don't even believe in.
Again, Uberfem, I want to point out that this isn't meant to sound like, or be, an attack, I know that is what this could sound like. I'm just pointing out, from my point of view, there are no reasons given here for getting a tattoo.
Onoe thing I love about people with tattoos though. They always try to justify it, they always try to make up reasons why. They never (ok, let's say very very rarely) just say, "I was stupid".
"Hey, how'd you break your leg?"
"I was stupid"
"How did you car get totalled?"
"I wasn't thinking...."
"Why did you join the army?"
"I'm an idiot."
"Why did you get a tattoo?"
"Well, some monks on the other side of the world, who I never met, believe...."
I love it. If nothing else it does tell a lot about the person. | |

This website attracts mostly straightlaced guys I've found. It's disheartening, but I still keep my profile up.
Petrarch2, that was a definite attack on her. Why so much animosity? Why the extended effort to copy and paste? I don't think anyone here is trying to convince anyone to GET a tattoo, only telling their side of the story and explain why they have them.
I have quite a few tattoos and I'm not "dumb" for getting any of them. I am not like most of the ladies here.. mine don't have any meaning really. It's just like jewelry, only permanent. I have Dali and big bright colorful things on me. I like it. Too bad if other people don't like it but that is their problem, it isn't for them. Doesn't concern me in the slightest. | |

Posted: 10/31/2007 8:04:17 PM | | All a matter of preference. I've seen small tattoos on women that looked very cool and sexy. I've also seen tattoos on women that were repulsing. The key is to keep it small and don't cover your body with them! | |

I've noticed this too. I'm more into blue collar, musicians, artists, writers. I'm not interested in someone who lives in a suburb and thinks tattoos are a turnoff lol. I'd love to see a dating site catering to that type of guy. I'd join that in a heartbeat. | |

Well, it's a matter of opinion isn't it? You feel it's a good decision for you. Others feel that voluntarily having a needle filled with ink shoved under your skin and marking yourself in a fairly permanent fashion isn't an action filled with brilliance. Given the incredible upswing in the medical specialty of laser tattoo removal, apparently many regret their decision to dabble in the realm of skin art. To each their own.
Posted by Crabstuffing: "mine don't have any meaning really. It's just like jewelry, only permanent."
But you aren't dumb.
Posted by Crabstuffing: "Too bad if other people don't like it but that is their problem"
But it isn't a problem. Just a matter of different tastes. You, and others, like that sort of decoration. Others do not. No problem at all really. Someone may not like it, but they are entitled to their opinions. Just like you have the legal right to get a tattoo and love it.
If anything, during the course of this lengthy thread, I've noted that those in favor of tattoos have been much more defensive and willing to lash out. Even against someone mildly commenting about their personal taste in not liking tattoos.
I smoke cigarettes from time to time. Incredibly stupid. Many here are so opposed to it they even block messaging and email from smokers. I can understand their strong preference in the matter entirely. If someone states that they think smoking is horrible and those who engage in the practice are fools, I am forced to agree. I don't get all bent out of shape on the issue. However, I still won't toss that pack of cigs in the trash. I feel the issue is comparable to tattoos (and to a degree piercings). I don't think smoking makes much sense (yet I do it) and I also feel the same about tattoos (but I haven't done it). To me, neither one is a hallmark of brilliance. They are matters of personal choice but with ramifications well beyond the personal level. | |

Please tell me what physical adjustment is filled with "brilliance"? Your haircut, how much thought did you give to that? The way you keep your facial hair... does the reflect how intelligent you are? Does it give insight into WHO YOU ARE? Tattoos are no reflection of what is inside of my head, that is for sure.
Are you insintuating that "brilliant" people would never be tattooed? Need I make a list of people who are tattooed that are? I think not because that would embarrass you.
Yes they are permanent, but tell me.. when is the last time you looked totally different than you do now? When is the last time you made a decision to do something that is irreversible and caused pain at the same time? Oh I know, never ..because it's something you would never do.
I'm ok with that. That's your life and how you choose to live it.
Given the incredible upswing in the medical specialty of laser tattoo removal, apparently many regret their decision to dabble in the realm of skin art. To each their own.
That is because of the many many people getting tattooed for the wrong reasons. Be it soccer moms fresh from a divorce, a gangbanger from Compton turned christian looking for a life change or a dumb teenager.. they need to cover their ill informed choices and I'm glad the option is available to the people who regret the choices they have made. I however, am not one of them.
Posted by Crabstuffing: "mine don't have any meaning really. It's just like jewelry, only permanent."
But you aren't dumb.
No I am not. But with that comment you are insinuating that I am.
Just because our lifestyles are worlds apart, that does not mean I am beneath you nor do I lack any more intelligence than you. You know nothing about me other than what you "assume". And you know what they say about that. :)
I have a lot of Dali on me, it doesn't mean anything personal other than loving the art. | |

Posted: 11/1/2007 2:42:01 AM | word things however you like but you are saying pepople with tattoos are basicly stupid petrarch2 and it may not seen like an attact from your perspective.. from mine your pretty close to the mark mate.. as for learning alot about a person from the wway they post .. yes that is true isnt it lol working with data and motherboards would to some seem utterly boring and mundane drawing a circle on a good day . well done im proud of you. my five year old niece can draw a good one on a bad day she has talent what can i say.
there really are some seriously dull and far to many logical men on here which really is a shame but and may i say without being too close to the mark quite arrogant and superiour minded .. thats not the way to find a mate boys
and theres more to a person than what someone writes on a thread believe me. and assumption is the mother of fcuk ups and to assume makes an ass of you and me.
i do what i do because i can and i can do things because i choose to. some think they maybe stupid are illogical beacuse it doesnt fit into their closed way of thinking personally driving over the speed limit to me is pretty bloody illogical but everyone does that. even you petrarch2. btw a motherboard is not a piece of art its a piece of dull plastic | |

Not at all. Brilliant people screw up and make mistakes all the time, same as anyone else. I said exactly what I meant. I don't feel that having an ink filled needle shoved into your skin to make a permanent statement or decoration is a well thought out decision. Many wind up with regrets. They might have done it on a whim, when drunk (or otherwise influenced), or under peer pressure. Even the best removal techniques to date aren't 100% effective, especially if colored dyes/pigments are involved.

Exactly. I've never felt the need, desire, or inclination to do a radical alteration on myself. I'm comfortable with who I am. Sad that you apparently feel that your decision to "do something that is irreversible and caused pain at the same time" gives some form of high ground in the discussion. I feel it makes you appear foolish and reinforces my opinions. Why would I want to cause myself pain or have pain for the mere sake of a truly ephemeral change inflicted upon me?
Posted by Crabstuffing: "Just because our lifestyles are worlds apart, that does not mean I am beneath you nor do I lack any more intelligence than you. You know nothing about me other than what you "assume". And you know what they say about that."
Never stated you were beneath me or lack intelligence. As I did state, brilliant people are perfectly capable of doing idiotic things as well as the next person. I feel the decision to have that act (tattooing) is performed upon oneself isn't an intelligent one. That is my opinion. It makes no assumptions as the tired old homily you hinted at suggests.
Posted by Crabstuffing: "I have a lot of Dali on me, it doesn't mean anything personal other than loving the art."
I love art too. However, I much prefer to see the original and not some ersatz copy on someone's skin which will fade, wrinkle and sag with age. If I want to see art, I'll go visit the original of it myself. Also my memory is quite good. Therefore, I don't feel the need to carry it around indelibly scrawled on my skin. My love for art doesn't extend to becoming a walking billboard for the artist.
I doubt after 24 pages anyone is trying to change someone's mind about tattoos. Most seem to agree with freedom of expression and the right to do whatever one wants with one's body (legally). The discussions stem from the OP, which asks what people think about tattoos. Obviously, I think they are a definite minus. You feel otherwise. I embrace the fact that we are both entitled to our independent choices in the matter. | |

uber_fem: word things however you like but you are saying pepople with tattoos are basicly stupid
Did I? Where? What I said was I do not understand why someone would get one, here are some quotes from my posts, I know some people think quoting stuff on here is a lot of work, but really it isn't, so here they are:
ME: Tatttoos are one of those things that I just don't understand.
ME: I would just really like to know why someone WOULD
To tell the truth, the simple fact that you can not understand that I am just curious why someone would get a tattoo saddens me. And it is not just just you, but anyone with a tattoo. There is an impulsive need to justify it with nonsense, and although amusing really doesn't answer the question.
You may think that asking a question is seriously dull and far to logical, fine. You may want to force your ideologies on what exactly is and isn't art on people, fine. At the end of the day, a simple fact remains; your answer now, as to why you have tattoos:
i do what i do because i can and i can do things because i choose to
To answer the OP's question again.... it's a turn off. Why? Besides the reason's already given, there is is very obvious attitude of "i do what i do because i can and i can do things because i choose to" and really... who wants to date someone like that? The sad thing about that is, yes, that is a stereotype, and I am sure that there are people with tattoos without this attitude, however, I have yet to meet a single one of them. | |

Posted: 11/1/2007 7:57:19 AM | my post box is always full of email from men and women not only from here but other ares of the internet with interest in wanting to meet or at least get to know me. must be doing something right lol maybe its my style of writing my lovely nature, my very funny and twisted wit my honest and out going genuine personality and yes for the way i look. by the way when the assumption and arrogance stops a look in the mirror is always advisable. as for selfish i bend over back wards to help those that deserve it.. like my friends family, the rspca, the fire service etc .. the church.. the church yea right , i went to church once they tried to burn me as a witch lol .. anyway i really have no time for people like you hun no offence .. yes im being selfish sorry but i have better things to do with my time than talk nonsence with nobodys on matters that really are of no relevance when theres far more important things to do and think about.. happy fishing really hope you meet someone hopefully not tattooed god forbid.
