The point of the post was to highlight your failure of logic in your "I don't give a **** what people think so I'm gonna get a tattoo to stick it to people over their opinion" tripe you've been posting here.

I am glad you spotted it though.

Nah, I'll get a big Nazi Iron cross on my arm cos my dad was a SS soldier. I took a lot of crap over that when I was a kid and it used to bother me. It bothers me no more but it does bother others, so an Iron cross would pi55 them off even more. Which suits me fine. Oh, and by the way, I like my tripe. Not so keen on yours though. Judging peoples Logic? From you? Sure when did you last do anything logical? Even your Ma said you were dropped as a kid.

Can you read Chinese?

I have two - one to celebrate turning 21 and the other 30. They're both discreet like my piercings because I've worked in an office for years. I don't think they're quite the statement people believe them to be because they are so common now, a huge portion of elderly people are going to have tattoes in 20 years time. There is also no major significance behind mine except I like the idea of bringing some facet of my style appearance along forever ie I'm certainly not going to have my 21 year olds hair / skin when I'm 70 but I'll still have the very same tattoo on my hip hidden away.

tbh · 13-05-2012 8:22am

I have one of the gentleman in my avatar. I have it nearly 20 years and I've never regretted it. I've also never forgotten the day I got it done. There were two lads in the queue ahead of me. When they were called and asked what they wanted, they pointed out designs on the wall. Told that those designs cost £200, they hurriedly scanned the wall and asked the prices of various designs, settling on some £50 ones. When asked where they wanted them, they pointed at the space between the elbow and the wrist. Now that is stupid.

Love your tattoos (from seeing pics somewhere on boards). They really define your style.

Art is just about as subjective as anything can get so some people will like your tattoo(s) and others will not. Got to accept that if you have tattoos some people wont like the look of them.

Using your body as a canvas for art is risky especially since its practically permanent. Lots of people do it and enjoy them though. They can be touched up if they fade and as skin gets older.

Somehow too many tattoos make someone look like they can never be properly naked. Do not like sleeves. Some people love em and really do it for them so there you go as subjective as can be.

OT: An Oasis tattoo on my wrist.

Tattoos are horrible on most women. Small little ones, on the wrist, or somewhere reasonably discrete are grand. But big massive ones are horrible. A tramp stamp it's the most off putting thing ever. She's unbelievably hot, but the tattoos take away from it, not add to it. Imagine that her 60s? It'll be like a copybook left out in the rain. And women with tattoos on their t*ts, like paw prints or hearts or whatever are absolutely rank. Just horrible.

Never got a tattoo myself. Got it into my head at 18 that I was getting something like this on my back. But I was talked out of it by someone who wasn't as thick as me. Thank f*ck.

Jimmy Bottlehead · 13-05-2012 11:18am

I've two tattoos, one of which is is in progress.

My first was two years ago, I got it after thinking about that design for 7 years. The second tat has been chosen by my grandmother who I'm very close to.

I love both my tattoos, they're thoughtful, tasteful and done by an incredible artist who I chose specifically ad his work is so good.

I don't care if others don't like my tattoos (only one person has said they don't, even people who don't like tattoos have said its amazing artwork), and I'm not going to care how they look at 60 or 70.
At least my grandkids will be able to look at grandad and know that he lived life, enjoyed it, and didn't let others dictate how to live it.

DenMan · 13-05-2012 12:52pm

One (so far). A star on my left wrist. I'll be looking at getting something on the back of my neck in the future.

Not really, I've heard lots of the "reasons" for getting tattoos and I've lol'd at every one of them.

Babybuff · 13-05-2012 4:07pm

Never realised there was such hatred for tattoos and people with tattoos. My brother did my first tattoo and I feel privileged to have it, it means a lot to me and tbh is no different to the other scars I have on my body. I'm quite proud of them. I feel sorry for people who take such issue with them and people who have them. They must be a really fun bunch of people to be around.

Links234 · 13-05-2012 4:35pm

This thread makes me want to get some tattoos

and more piercings, definitely more piercings.

BadGirl · 13-05-2012 4:39pm

I have 6 tattoos. Love every one of them and don't regret any of them. There will be more to come...

Reg'stoy · 13-05-2012 4:40pm

Tramp stamp and a muffin roll enough said.

Infairness don't like them, never did but knock yourself out it is afterall your own body.

Have an idea for my next one in mind but I've been toying with the idea of a pinup after that. Maybe on my thigh.

I find the benefit of having big tattoos, including on my chest, is that I don't end up chatting to jerks as much.

Lockstep · 13-05-2012 5:18pm

I have 3, one on each upper arm and one on my wrist.

That said, I'd never get a tattoo in a language I don't understand. I went to school abroad and a girl heard I spoke Irish and asked if I liked her tattoo as it was in Irish. It was meant to be láidir but said 'faidir'.
Those sort of tattoos always remind me of these

Have you pics of them all in the show me your thread? I'll have to have a nose.

A geisha pinup is what I have in mind (I can picture it in my head) but haven't found anyone to do it.

ZombieBride · 13-05-2012 5:46pm

If you don't like tattoos, then don't get one. Easy.

Ah that sounds cool! If you want me to recommend you an artist, let me know:)

But surely a polite f*** off would be easier than paw prints on the t*ts, no?

Erm I was joking in the first post.

Anyway I dislike people getting dopey/douche bag tattoos but that is their taste and that's fine if there is something that is unforgivable when it comes to tattoos is shoddy work. ARRRGH.

Tea-a-Maria · 13-05-2012 7:30pm

I wouldn't ever get a tattoo,myself,since there's no symbol or words that mean enough to me to have permanently put on my body.

A lot of my housemates got tattoos this year.Including one who had a tattoo of the lips of another housemate put on her ass.:eek:

yes, but I wouldn't know the person was a jerk about that kind of thing right off the bat. this way I don't spend time getting to know someone only to discover later on that I don't fit their idea of womanhood.

LH Pathe · 14-05-2012 12:27am

They only represent conformity now, don't they. kinda like all these globalazzed monocultural kids with beiber cuts n adidas

you don't get into the Irish squad these days unless at least one arm is smothered in em - in a curious time where having none is to not conform.

having no tattoo, now is the equivelent of having em, back in the day. it's a bit weird.

Stained Class · 14-05-2012 12:36am

Tats, IMHO are good news.

They are the mark of Skang & usually a good warning to folk of someone's character.

Not to say that people that have them are evil or anything, but they're usually people who live in the moment, not particularly stable though.

Good souls mainly, but feckless.

Peetrik · 14-05-2012 9:33am

I like tattoos, I have a good few myself.

I like tattoos on people as it can give a little insight into what sort of art/mythology/aesthetics appeals to the person. Each one is a conversation by itself.

I've lost count of the number of people who have told me they would like to get one but don't feel they can/should because of work or what others might think, I think it's a shame really as to me its speaks of repression instead of expression.
People are happier when they are able to express themselves in the way they want and if it makes no difference to others they should be free to do so without having to experience negative attitudes from others.

Just my opinion.

if my tattoos put you off talking to me should we ever find ourselves in the same social setting, then it would appear that would suit both of us.

I want to get more but in these times, ive more important things to buy

Just read through the thread here. Mixed views on tattoos. I have been tattooed 19 times,have one arm covered in a sleeve. What way would alot of you on here look at me who don't approve of tattoos? Like i'm a 'chav' or scumbag of some sort?

Hebrew wording on top of spine.

Just curious- what does it say, and do you have a picture of it?
I was on a night out recently and saw a guy with a tattoo of Hebrew writing on his arm but when I read it, it meant absolutely nothing- just a jumble of letters. He was rather disappointed when I told him.

Probably the most retarded post I've read on here for a while. Congratulations. I have 5 friends I can think of that have tattoos and your description doesn't fit them at all. Seriously, where do people get this ****?

I Heart Internet · 14-05-2012 11:47am

I don't have any. Not my thing.

But I was thinking recently a cool one would be a zip running from your waist/hip up the side of your body to about nipple height under your arm. Kinda like it was keeping all your bits in.

I must have seen that somewhere online....I do think it'd be kinda cool. But not for me

angelbabie · 14-05-2012 3:02pm

midlandsmissus · 14-05-2012 5:33pm

I've a tramp stamp. I still like because it's tiny, it's like smallest tattoo ever. I wanted a secret little one that only very few people would see.

people forget that lower back tattoos were really cool and in fashion for about two years, then I suppose so many girls got them, they bacame 'common'. Definitely doesn't make some-one a 'slut' though. Not that I think anyone is a slut. Let people do what they want.

Dark haired Girl at the end of Justin Timberlake's cry me a river video. Don't tell me that's not a hot tramp stamp.(at 2.55 youtube video) I remember that video was out at the time lower back tattoos were all in vogue.

I've only ever gotten compliments on mine.

bodice ripper · 14-05-2012 5:53pm

I never wore dresses or skirts before I was heavily tattooed - because I am short, chubby, pale with rosy cheeks. When I wore a dress, I looked like a little girl.

I don't look like nobody's little girl no more ^.^
