Tattoos

[c4.]

I respect the right of the individual to wear a mark that defines he or she, but if its put on young its usually akin to school kids drawing on themselves with felt tips, I consider it litter.
When I see these big tough macho guys wearing tank tops in winter to 'show off' their tattooed biceps, I have great internal mirth.
Tattoos don't 'maketh' the man, but they sure help you spot losers.

If they went out of fashion.

Fashion has got f**k all to do with why I got them.

Her reason for getting them is typical of young people. Wanting to look cool, rebellion against parents, no understanding about long term issues. Young one's don't understand that their likes, dislikes, even passions are going to change radically as they grow up and so they do things they are going to regret later On.

It's a good point. Think how much you have changed over the last five years.

I don't doubt that if you are a hard-working and responsible member of society that you are one who thinks about things even at 17.

Your life is just beginning and you have no hurry.

You need to take a less static view of the world ED.

Yes, tattoos are for life. yes your tastes change, I like different music and food and art now than I did ten years ago. many things change over time, but the point for many people getting a tattoo is that it is symbolic of a beleif, feeling, opinion, taste or love for something at that particular time of their life, something that influences their decisions and perspectives enough that they want a reminder, EXACTLY so that they can look back in twenty years, and remember who they were, where they came from, and how they got to where they are now.

Not unlike the cave drawings found worldwide throughout many different cultures, a persons repeated expression through additional tattoos over the years of their life tell a story, of who they were, and who they are. the are a reminder to the proud holder of what the most important contents of their life have consisted of at different times

so yes, after twenty years you will like different things, but that is precisely the point.

I fucking LOVE my ink. they will remind me forever of my decisions, whether good or bad, they were a part of who I was, and directly contribute to who I become every new day.

and i will add, I got my first tattoo at 15, it still holds as much, of not more intrinsic value to me now as it ever did, I dont now, nor have I ever regretted it.

Can someone in Dunners give this man a beer. Exceptionally well said TT

We are constantly doing things that permanently affect the rest of our lives, just because we might not like them later isn't much of a reason not to do it. Always comes down to weighing up the potential benefits/negatives at the time. I've never felt the need to get one, but damn sure if I did it would be from somebody good at their work, not some muppet with some food coloring and a pointy stick.





What the fuck dude? 2 posts and neither contain suicide girls

I wasn't saying everyone is the same by any means. It was her comments and those of others in the programme that showed the consequences of making decisions that affect the rest of your life.

Her reasons for getting them will not be everybody's reasons but it shows that too often young people are making choices they are going to regret later.

So my idea of getting whinnie the pooh tattoed on my arm is a bad idea ?

Essentially, every decision you make will impact upon the rest of your life.

Sadly ... the decisions you don't make ... make more of an impact.



Hindsight is such a wonderful thing ... it's just a pity we don't have it earlier ...

[idb]

For fucks sake... the word is TATTOOS. NOT Tattoo's.

Yeah.
A good tattooist is important but, most importantly, make sure that you use a professional to check your grammar and spelling.
An inappropriate apostrophe is there forever!

I want more Ink.....

No such thing, by choosing not to make a decision you've made one

Hind sight is lovely, so is foresight and I lack both of those and eye sight
