jerryskids 5,212 Posted March 10, 2018 My 16 yr old daughter, the one with Type 1 diabetes, wants to get one on her wrist that amounts to a permanent medicalert bracelet. I'm into the concept in theory but the designs she has looked at are way bigger than a bracelet so it hasn't happened. She hasn't mentioned it recently but I can see it eventually happening. In fact I can see negotiating her down to a smaller design before she is 18 and I can't control it. I also have a very good friend whose son committed suicide. He has his name tattooed on his ankle. These are meaningful things for which I can see the value of a tattoo. Most others, eh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are meaningful things for which I can see the value of a tattoo. Most others, eh. I saw a guy who has his whole back covered. Hes a big traveler, and in every country hes been to, hes had some sort of a traditional design. Most of them were done by traditional methods, like a hammer and a thorn with ink made from berries or whatever. At least that ones cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naomi 343 Posted March 10, 2018 In my experience guys without tattoos are more emotionally stable than guys with tattoos, and it's usually easy to discern. Only guy I actually came to love had two or three. I didn't pay much attention to them; I know what two of the three are about. Super tall, lean redhead with a long beard (Eastern Orthodox). Dressed Amish like sometimes. He didn't tick any of my preconcieved boxes. He's super smart, has a mood disorder and manages it very well. Craziest guy I dated had quite a few tattoos and regretted many. I didn't actually see his arms for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,647 Posted March 10, 2018 I've been looking for something pretty specific for many years now. I swear as soon as I find it I'm going to get it. It's just really hard to find a tattoo artist who has flesh colored ink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,814 Posted March 10, 2018 I hope it fills whatever void you're trying to fill. It very rarely does. It's an attention getter. Every chick that I've ever seen gets one loves the attention and gets to show it off. Then after awhile nobody gives a crap and so what do they do? Go get another tattoo. Repeat.

IGotWorms 3,317 Posted March 10, 2018 I dont like them on women. If theyre small and really well done then okay. But those huge ones across the chest or whatever? Yuck. Or if you got the tramp stamp or the one on the back of your neck for giving head or the jack off tattoo on the inside of your arm... well thanks for letting me know youre a wh0re but arent there times you dont want to broadcast that to the whole world?? Anyway Im probably an ahole so whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,647 Posted March 10, 2018 Listening to a woman describe the meaning behind her overly vague and overly detailed tattoos maybe some of the longest time ever spent. It's actually worse than listening to people describe their dreams to you. Hey, we get it. It's meaningful to you. Doesn't mean to me. A friend of mine is an MMA fighter. She's cool as hell, but every time she starts talking about her overly detailed tattoo, my eyes just glazed over. If it's any consolation, we can always walk away from that. But she's stuck the rest of her life having to explain what this damn tattoo means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 10, 2018 Perhaps true. Its that whole holding down a job raising kids phase they may find problematic. Although maybe the stigma against tattoos in jobs is a dying thing. They all seem to think so. I don't think it matters as much. I'm in construction, so it doesn't matter for me job wise.

mobb_deep 917 Posted March 10, 2018 I don't think it matters as much. I'm in construction, so it doesn't matter for me job wise. Im a software engineer at a fortune 500 company and it doesnt matter. Sure, a neck or face tattoo would be a deal breaker, but thats just a dumb thing to do to begin with. My right arm is sleeved, and I wear polo shirts to work. Never had a problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,895 Posted March 10, 2018 So you think you will always be happy you got a sleeve? I am getting the tattoo on my forearm. My advice is to get a tattoo you could expand into a sleeve. Tattoos are addictive and if you like it youll want to add more. Think of the landscape you want to eventually put around the Tasmanian Devil or the waves you might add to the anchor that says mom underneath it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thornton Melon 544 Posted March 11, 2018 I got my first one in October at age 53, a Celtic family knot with my wife and kids' initials on the side of my left shoulder. I've got no regerts. It'll only be visible when I'm at the beach. I'm thinking about another one on the other shoulder, just haven't decided what yet. I'm not into the flashy stuff like flames and skulls and whatnot, but it'll be something meaningful to me if I do it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
