Friday OT #2 - Tattoos
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
Sounds cool. You should post it on here so someone can rip it off and get it tattooed before you do.
I agree with you. Some are personal reminders to some people. I didn't mean to imply all people do it for attention, but some definitely do.
Regarding #2, I guess I don't see much difference between a tattoo, and clothing, online avatar or something. It's just a way to express yourself. Some people care more and put more effort into it than others.
I don't have any - I know that whatever I would get today, I would hate 5 years from now, so that's why I probably won't ever get one.
My wife on the other hand has 3/4 of her left arm covered (she just told me what her plans are for the full-sleeve), another one on the inside of her right fore-arm, and another on the back of her neck. All of them can be covered with long-sleeves/collared shirts. She previously worked as a credit underwriter for 7 years and never had any complaints about not covering her tattoos at that office. She most recently works at the front-desk of our church and I don't know of anyone that has complained about it - I think the pastor feels like she gives the congregation "street cred" as she is also lead vocals at our contemporary worship service.
I never thought I would be into someone with tattoos, but she really pulls them off well. Most of her tattoos were pre-planned over months and she interviewed different artists before approving the final design.
We've both talked about what those tattoos would look like when she's older. In fact, she was just mentioning to her friends last night that she doubts she'll be the only old lady in the nursing home with "saggy tats" - at least I thought I heard that right...

What the hell is on her left arm? Is that drunk Jesus?Serious question because now I'm intrigued.
The only thing on this lady thats attractive is her face. Everything else is blugh. Opinions?
Yeah, it's sort of like if they made Jesus out of one of those Monster High dolls that are a thing or whatever with little kids these days.
My father got them on his arms in the military and said it was one of his biggest mistakes. I listened to him and glad I did. I guess I'd be ok with one in an area that no one saw but then what is the point.
To me they are similar to bumper stickers, which I also think are obnoxious. I have a nephew that for some strange reasons really likes wolves. He has a tattoo of one on his arm and a sticker on his truck window. I still haven't figured out why?

I have 5, and have been wanting to get a 6th for a while now. I've been thinking about doing something based on one of the Grant Wood murals in the ISU library, or something relating to ISU athletics. Got the first at 18 and the last about 10 years ago. All of them are covered by shorts and a t-shirt.
The mural at the library is "When Tillage Begins, Other Arts Follow" and there is a panel for Mechanical Engineering. I'd probably get it modified a bit to look more like a big, inline diesel engine since that's what I work on professionally, and replace the brick background with something else.

I don't think thats it at all. I know in my statement I was actually asking questions - I am curious as to why those things are, because I don't understand them.
Anyone else posting in here without tattoos is curious as well.
