Do you regret any of your tattoos?

[Big Blue 06 196]

I have 3 and most likely will be getting a 4th soon. I have no regrets with any of them, as they don't show in a work environment where it might be unprofessional. It really is a personal choice, so I don't get when people without them judge people that have them (I'm looking at some of you in this thread).

Personal choice? Fock, you're not the only one that has to look at the damn things.

Let me guess..

tat 1 : Tribal arm band

tat 2 : Tribal arm band on other arm

tat 3 : Some ghey japanese symbol that means "I'm a queer", but the dood at the parlor told you it meant "warrior"

I always laugh when I see these kids with full sleeves or neck tattoos. They don't realize that one day they're going to be sitting at a job interview and being taken out of consideration before even opening their mouths.

Many of the jobs they'll qualify for require prolonged periods with an open mouth, too. Truly ironic...

 

Short of bikers, military and ex-cons, tattoos are popular with the under-35 crowd. Most of the Geek Club demographic may prefer sphincter bleaching, branding and genital beading, but to each their own

A little tattoo story I shall share with fellow geeks:

I was attending a party thrown by a buddy in which several of his friends were people that I did not know, but knew of. Well one girl that my buddy had mentioned in the past was attending. I knew of this girl because my buddy was telling me that her husband worked for Pepsi and had been driving in his company car, lost control, got flipped upside down in a canal, and died/ drowned maybe a month or two back. So we're all hanging out, drinking, partying, and bull$hitting at this party, when I notice that this girl has a tattoo, can't remember where it was but it was visible to me at some moment. The tattoo said "DUKE." Well I saw it and quirked, "Nice tattoo, but why did you get your dogs name tattooed on ya." Expecting laughter from all angles I instead was met by the crickets. As I looked around at the 10-15 people in the immediate locale staring at me, it dawned on me that Duke was her husbands nickname It was like a Larry David moment for me.

Wow, you're being a little dooshy about this topic, even for you. I'm pretty sure I posted pics of my tattoos when I got em on here. If I can't find the pictures, maybe I'll load em up later.

You owe me a new keyboard, focker.....

[TheNewGirl 1,637]

Nope.

[cyclone24 1,935]

Nope.

 

 

Holy god....a girl with no tats?

 

You dont have some stupid dolphin on your ankle, tramp stamp, or hawaiin flower on your ribcage or something??

 

Its a god blessed christmas miracle.

[drobeski 3,061]

Nope.

That's hot

[cbfalcon 827]

Nope.

 

Why are you so up tight?

[OldMaid 2,135]

Nope. Her name is Suzi.

No. It's Susie. Get it right you freaking stalker!

[jerryskids 7,085]

 

That said, I think people get them for dumb reasons. I don't need ink on my skinto remember a person who passed.

 

In general I think tats are dumb. However, a friend of mine got one in remembrance of his son who committed suicide. I cannot even fathom living through that, and pray I never will, and I can't begin to judge his choice of a tat in that case.

 

Also, put me in with the crowd that thinks RLLD should get his. When I was growing up the only people with them were military. And bikers I guess.

I'm just focking with ya

[nospk 230]

Absolutely not a regret of mine, when my son was 2 months old I got a tattoo of his footprints over my heart. His name is above it and his birthday is below them. The cool thing is our artist was so good she traced every indent his feet made on the paper and I have damn near a carbon copy of his little feet on my chest.

 

Only negative on this is we're about to start trying for our second child and I hope he/she never regrets being on the right side of my chest instead of right over my heart.

It sure sounds to me like you are the one already regretting where it will be placed because you can't change what was done in the first place.

You forgot criminals.

[cyclone24 1,935]

Ive just never found anything THAT important i needed to ink on myself...that people didnt already know or i couldnt just tell them.

 

Im proud i graduated from Iowa State University.....do i need a tat of that with their logo? No.....i have a diploma that says i did.

 

Ive lost loved ones.....do i love them more if i remember them with ink? no....they KNEW i cared for them while they were here.

 

I dont need a celtic or chinese symbol for courage or strength.......i have a personality that dictates i tend to be those things.

 

 

 

I will say that if you served in the military....by god you earned it and can put any dang thing on you want for you, your boys that you toured with, anything. You earned it.

[Rusty Syringes 478]

I've never understood why anyone would get a tattoo.

[BiPolarBear 495]

I have seen about three tattoos that looked like art to me. The rest looked like a gay freedom flag or a white trash hood ornament.

 

Anyway I have some better tattoo ideas.

 

They could be used as punishment for crimes. If you did something bad you could get a tattoo that told everybody about it. Tat placement would be decided on the severity of the crime. The forehead would be a felony fer sure.

 

On a more positive note, we could have informational tattoos. If you got a large group of people together (like a Super Bowl) you would have pretty much all the information you needed for anything. Just imagine if you were kind of a geek and you had the tattoo for an insanely great fudge brownie recipe. People would get high and call you up! you would be a hit...and probably get a few (if you know what I mean). Informational tattoos would be priced according to desirability. The fudge brownie tat would could more than the signs of herpes tattoo, for example.

 

I am glad that I have this forum to share my ideas with forward thinking adults. Thank you all for your kind consideration.

OUCH! That had to leave a mark.

Except if President Obama got "socialist" tatooed on his forehead, right Rusty Pilot? Am I right buddy?

[Snuff 10]

I never managed to succumb to the ink.....though I regret not getting my unit inked on like many of my fellow Marines after desert storm "Riders on the Storm"

 

I totally read this wrong.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

I regret mine, and would remove it if I ever had the money to piss away.

 

The day I got it was one of the funniest stories of my life though.

 

I was in my first year of law school, and the student bar association threw a mixer with us and a local medical school (tampa fl.). It was at a bar in Ybor City (party district) limo rides there, open bar. $5. So of course, it was on.

 

We got there and immediately started drinking heavily. This went on for several hours. When the bartender (closing our tab) yelled last call on open bar! we all grabbed waitress trays and ordered 8 more drinks apiece.

 

So I am focking retarded drunk. At this point, the bar becomes open to the public, and is flooded with random bar skanks who have been excluded from the "law school med school party" all night. Now the fun is starting.

 

So I'm dancing with some chick, starting to look promising, when a buddy of mine says "cmon, were gonna go get a slice" Being very subject to suggestion when retarded drunk, i tell the chick Ill be right back, and follow.

 

So 5 or 6 of us are walking down the street, when we get to a tattoo parlor. My friend (d!ckhead) says "you should get a tattoo." Being subject to suggestion when retarded drunk, I agree.

 

So we go in. I sign the waiver, writing "focked up" in the box that asks if you are intoxicated. Meanwhile, two of my friends puke all over the women's room in the tattoo parlor.

 

So I agree on a small (thank god) scales of justice on my shoulder, pay, and go into the booth. Dude is doing his thing, and I am too drunk to feel much.

 

All of a sudden, this chick runs in my booth from next door. She yells "check this sh!t out!" Across her tramp stamp ares, she has had tattooed "Fock Me Harder" on gothic script. We all laugh and whatnot.

 

So we finish up, and go back to the party. I find my target girl, and resume grinding on her. I was wearing a yellow shirt. All of a sudden, she runs off in a hurry. I look in the mirror wall at my back and see that I am bleeding rather proufusely. You see, the reason you are not supposed to get tattooed drunk is, it turns out, that it thins your blood.

 

So my friends drag me out of the bar, into the limo, and we go back home.

 

The next morning, I wake up, hung over as hell, and go into the bathroom to brush my teeth. Seeing a bloody bandage on my shoulder in the side mirror, I am curious. I peel it off, and see my new tat. Never really liked it, want it gone.

I got mine on Busch Blvd at K&B Tattoo by some guy named Beaver. I have several friends who had work done at Artistic Armour. Is Tampa the tattoo capital of the world?

[KayJay1971 239]

I don't really see what the big deal is about getting a tat? How many of you "cool" non tat getting geeks out there have/had their ears peirced? Kinda falls along the same lines.

[Phurfur 70]

Uh yeah. I'm pro tattoo and all, but you are kind of hurting my side's argument.

[mobb_deep 920]

I've never understood why anyone would get a tattoo.

 

Not everyone takes themselves as serious as you I guess. Like someone said before... it's just skin. If I "regret" them down the line I'll just wear a shirt and shorts when I'm in public, instead of running around naked, like I do currently.

 

ETA: Just got a call from the tat shop to remind me of my appt this weekend.

[cyclone24 1,935]

Like i said....i have a personality.....i dont need a conversation piece. And if its that important..i can either tell them or if they are close to me....they already know.

 

 

 

I love the idiots that get religous tattoos.....if these morons would read the bible....they would see that god is not nearly as wild about your little shout out to him as you think he is.

Leviticus 19:28

I have one. Popeye. Outside left ankle. no regrets. Had it for over twenty years. It doesn't show at functions I wouldn't want it to show at.

 

I always laugh when I see these kids with full sleeves or neck tattoos. They don't realize that one day they're going to be sitting at a job interview and being taken out of consideration before even opening their mouths.

 

You have Popeye on your ankle and your are laughing at other people's tattoos?

Everyone else is laughing at yours.
