Tattoos

love'em.
The fact that someone can be so passionate about something that they would permanently tattoo something on their bodies makes it special.
Love the artwork.

" passion " has many avenues of expression...my body is my " temple ", no way, no how will i deface it...

And I respect that Suzy!
People are too critical. If you don't want tattoos then I don't judge. I'm happy for you that you don't feel the need to conform and get a tattoo just because everyone else is doing it. If you do have tattoos then I like to look at the beauty of them. Some people just feel the need to voice an opinion on everything. Tattoos and piercings are very prevalent in other cultures. Some children are pierced as young as 2 or 3 in other Asian and African cultures and that's not for anyone to say it's wrong or right.

I had to have a local anesthetic this morning - that's more than enough needles for me.

I hear you there, Suzy. One or two is OK, but some people look like a wall mural. I may be old fashioned and not know much, but I think tattoos on a woman take away from their natural beauty. Sorry ladies, but I guess Im just a male chauvinistic pig. But if thats what you like, I say go for it. Unless you were my wife.

It's possible to look at tattooing from another perspective...not "defiling" your body but rather enhancing it. Nobody can really say they haven't sullied their body temple to some degree or another...tanning one's skin, wearing heels, pierced ears, even the compounds in makeup and deoderant or eating just about anything other than roots and berries...

There might be some monk out on a mountain somewhere who has a purely undefiled body but I don't know where he's at Tattooing can be beautiful, creative, unique...I know of a cancer survivor or three who inked as a positive statement for surviving...same thing with many service veterans. If you find an original design that has lasting meaning for you, a tattoo can be empowering.

Then you have the guys with four letter words on their knuckles and inked eyelids...Lil Wayne wouldn't even be able to get a job at Walmart if he was in the real world...I've seen women too who flaunt their already questionable taste in ink...but those are the extremes. not tattooing in general.

My stepdad is a marine, and has a few tattoos, he spent some time in Iraq and he and his friends have different tattoos all with something camouflage on them. Sort of a sense of camaraderie really.

I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of massive tattoos on women. I like mine because they are small and quite delicate. Personally I wouldn't have big ones going down my arms and stuff, but it's up to the individual. My partner isn't a fan of tattoos, but he wouldn't tell me I can't have them done. I can't comprehend why someone would want one on the face, but there you go...

My hubby is kind of "Meh" about tattoos...he has the pain threshold of a gerbil so no way would he ever get one. But some of his friends are quite adorned indeed. One of those things I love about him...even if I turned my hair into a green Mohawk and gained 500 pounds he would still say he thought I was the sexiest thing on the planet...and totally mean it...when ya find a man like that, he's a keeper

I love tattoos, have 5 of them myself. Personally i don't see why the older generation makes such a big deal out of them. Its their body so why does it effect you? Also I believe that having tattoos should not hinder your opportunities in getting a "real job". What is on your skin has nothing to do with how well you can preform at a job.
