Posted: 6/20/2006 4:17:19 PM | i think for myself its the generalizations and misconceptions that people have about tatting....
to suggest that only "hot" women or men should have tats is really no different than suggesting that only bikers, cons, or trashy people have them.
quite simply they are not the provenance of either one gender, one socio-economic group, one age group, and/or if you happen to meet the standard of appearance that others feel can carry the look. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 4:52:37 PM | Isn't it all really just about acceptance? I don't like tattoos for myself but I don't judge others because they have them and I certainly wouldn't refuse to date someone because she has tattoo's.
We should leave the attitudes of the 60's where they belong in the 60's, tattoo's today are a part of fashion, often used to express something about the individual. labelling someone because they have a tattoo is just another form of prejudiced and has no place in todays society. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 6:41:14 PM | I don't know if the word offended fits, but I do think it is ignorant. But checking his age one might think he will get wiser in the coming years. And I personally think a nice tattoo will look the same on any person, it is a work of art and is placed on skin. How can one look better on a so called nice looking person than a not so nice looking person? Hmmm maybe it is me, but that doesn't make a lick of sense. It is like saying a 5,000 dollar coat will look better on the prettier person. The coat is still a coat. IMHO
*edit* OK I misread his age, thought he was much younger! He should really know better by now! :P | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 8:20:30 PM | | So true DarlenaNS..Take a so called "hot" woman and place her in a beat up wreck of a car.. and then take a so called "not so hot" woman and place her in say a Bugatti's Veyron ...does it change how you look at them..I would hope not...as thats some shallow sights you have there...but again my thoughts on such things. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 5:06:57 AM | We should leave the attitudes of the 60's
Thats debatable.
The attitudes of the 60's is what has given us most of the freedoms we enjoy...today.
If anything it's the attitude of today that continues to be the problem.
People of the sixties are now parents and grandparents. Both have openly allowed this generation in some cases too much freedom/luxury. This generation continues to destroy themselves. Either physically or mentally. Take your pick.
I say get a tattoo of a peace sign....somebody | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 5:19:18 AM | Each person is different,i dont think tattoos on the open look good one women(most),
i have seen a few that look hot with them on the outside but again nothing crazy.
Anyway i know a guy who thinks women with tattoos all over are hot ,its all in taste and in like .
I am still open to talk to a women with tattoos all over and could even end up with someone like that(dont hold me to that)
Its one thing to have some light superficial taste ,what makes being superficial a bad thing ,is when you close yourself away from situations cause how strong your superficial thoughts are ,Be open minded or miss out and suffer in your dramatic state of mind lol
(i rant to much ) | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 5:27:52 AM | Darlena, my ex who i thought was hot would put on a coat and ask me, "Do I look good in this coat?"...and I'd say "Baby, you make that coat look good." This applies especially if the coat itself is borderline.
Same for the most part applies to tattoos. In my humble opinion. | |

That is just an easy way to shirk responsibilities for one's actions and decisions, as long as people can make excuses for what they do by blaming others, then they don't accept the fact that they are responsible for themselves, who they are, and the mistakes they make. At some point in time a person should become self-aware, when that happens they should start taking responsiblity for themselves and their actions.
I am what I am today because of myself, not my parents, teachers or anyone else, sure they influence, ultimately I make my choices and mistakes, because I accept responsiblity for myself I learn and grow.
It's easy to find excuses to remain narrow-minded and ignorant, much more difficult to open your self to the views of others and accept them for who and what they are.
Labeling someone for having a tattoo is an attitude of past generations not recognizing that society has changed and tattoo's no longer remain in the realm of the drug addicts ex-cons, sailors and bikers is just narrow-minded. | |

sure they influence
They influence and begin the process of thought, perception, belief and values. Not everyone is guided as such. Some people are leaders and some are not. But either way, if your not a reflection of where you have come from. Then your alone.
ultimately I make my choices and mistakes
No doubts when the verdict is in. It will be your head either on the guillintine or the pillow.
On the side of tattoes, i personally love them, i have a few. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 7:21:25 AM | hmmmm i can never get the quote thing to work so please bear with me
"labeling someone for having a tattoo...............is just narrow-minded"
i am in complete agreement zack
that particular stereotypical judgement does in all actuality have its roots in modern industrialized society, and the huge negativity that surrounds tatting is to a great degree a 19th century "western" perception.
prior to that in a great many cultures, tattoo's were reserved for those of high honour, be they of political, spiritual, educational or warrior class. the right to wear them was and still is, in many cultures, earned.
19th century western civilization had a huge impact on alot of "traditional" practices and values to say the least....some of the changes were welcome and long overdue, some have been bas**rdized to fit modern perception, and there is a great deal that got lost or misperceived along the way leave a void in a many people.
there are a lot of people that share my particular cultural heritage that know at a glance the significance of my tat.....and the fact of the matter is, it is a very similar design, but different location, to one that was worn by my grandfather, and his mother before him. and both of them would be proud and honoured to see it on me.
my father unfortunately is of a different mindset....he like many of his generation lost somewhere along the way, the desire to maintain some traditional practices and cultural beliefs, in favour of 19th century north american values. and there is no doubt that he views my tat in a negative light. my own particular belief and value systems however are much more similar to my grandfathers.
for anyone who would want to apply their value systems to anothers personal choice, my only point really is that you should not be so quick to assume. each of us have our own personal belief system, and each of us choose to honour our heritage and culture in many different ways, and what may be relevent to one person, may not apply at all to another. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 7:40:05 AM | I have one Tattoo and plan on getting more they are truely addictive :)
I love them on girls but really it's all personal preference if you are attracted to the girl it would be kinda silly to not give it a chance because of a tattoo and if the person is like that then it wasn't ment to be anyways. I say do whatever you want it's your body and your life to live so do what makes you happy.

Posted: 6/21/2006 12:33:29 PM | | I kinda sorta want a tattoo and do like one for what it means.....it's a Chinese symbol for laugh which translates to : One laugh banishes a thousand worries. The fact that it is Chinese and not something that someone would understand when they see it is kind of what's holding me back. Also not crazy about tattoos on peoples arms or huge ones on their bodies. Undecided??? | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 1:36:22 PM | | cat fish, that reminds me of something my daughter once said. She always wanted a chinese symbol tattoo but was worried about it being the authentic symbol. She didn't want to get something she thought was for example, good health and prosperity and then find out yrs later it meant something totally different! She has since went with a really purdy butterfly :) | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 3:07:26 PM | | Most tattoos don't do anything for me. Seems like alot of people get the same generic butterfly or rose. Boring. I think it looks absolutely horrible if you can't cover them up though. I once saw a bride with a huge one on her arm. It was hideous. | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 3:30:37 PM | | Yes the getting of a tattoo is a personal thing. One must do what makes them happy and if it is a pretty little butterfly then so be it. My daughter happens to love butterflies! So that would make sense for her to design one and then have it as her choice of tats. So nope, not boring to her! | |

Hey, I was only worried about a guy being put off by my family reference staring up him during the act. I already had my heart broken by a guy after it suddenly dawned on him that I was like looking at his mother in her younger days, after nine months of dating!
But as somebody put, it'll take some sort of weird guy to not want sex for a reason like that!
 Sorry I just saw this ... what a nimrod buddy was!  | |

Posted: 6/21/2006 5:08:20 PM | I have one tatt and soon to get another but have taken about 5 years to plan my second and even longer to figure out the first. I have no regets in my first and i'm sure i will not have any in my second. I think the key is to take your time in picking the design(sounds like you have) and going to a rebputable tattooist, they can give you insite on placement.
As far as tattoos on girls they are sexy as hell..... as long as they have a meaning to the person wearing the ink.... sounds like you have that covered as well. Tattoos are a personal experience and only need to have relevance to the wearer. | |
