Most of my fellow sailors got one of those heart and mother tattoos after imbibing in a few drinks. I always resisted and am tattoo free! However, since my granddaughter turned out to be a skilled tattoo artist, and makes a living from it, my opinion of the craft has moderated. I still don't like tattoos since, to me, there is nothing more beautiful than the human body, just as it was created, but I am starting to tolerate sleeves! Even though they are large, they tend to be more subdued!When I was a little girl the only tattoos I ever saw were on the inner wrists of Holocaust survivors. Maybe a sailor or two with a heart & the word Mother. I hate and despise tattoos. Thank goodness I currently only know one person, with a 'sleeve' of them, one of my doctors.
Just what I was going to say! How is this not malpractice? They should refer them for mental health services or, at least, refuse to perform the unnecessary surgery.The doctors who perform this kind of surgery should be arrested.
Don't get me started or I'll get in trouble for being too political - again. Just put it this way, the doctors that do this are the ones I see as bad, not their patients. That's all I'd better say.If you want your fingers amputated, you are mentally ill. If you want your pen!s removed, you're an inspiration.
my ex husband was in the Navy. On one arm he got our DD's name tattooed in a scroll .. on the other arm.. he had ''My Darling wife Holly'' all the way down his arm from top to bottom with fancy design etc...Most of my fellow sailors got one of those heart and mother tattoos after imbibing in a few drinks.

Gotta love how she'd likely defend the tats so numerous they wind up in self-harm with claims of she finds them beautiful (I call BS on that one) but then dresses like that!Look at this very attractive 46 year old British human ( sarc)... she has 3 inkings every week, making 800... and has decided to ''cut back'' so she can get pregnant with her 8th child ...
Melissa is proud to be one of Britain's most tattooed women.
She said her skin has already fallen off from tattoos that didn't heal and has been left with scars. Until recently she vowed she would 'never stop having tattoos until the end.'

The Mental Health of the surgeon should be checked at the same time. Not the man/woman I would want to take out my appendix!Just what I was going to say! How is this not malpractice? They should refer them for mental health services or, at least, refuse to perform the unnecessary surgery.
Underclass? Really? You actually have a class system?yp but sadly that's the uniform of the underclass in the UK
US too.yp but sadly that's the uniform of the underclass in the UK
Please. We do here in the US too. We just pretend we don't.Underclass? Really? You actually have a class system?
Everyone has a class system! Here we have inner city vs. suburbanites!Underclass? Really? You actually have a class system?
And is one considered better than the other? How about rural folk? Are they lesser?Everyone has a class system! Here we have inner city vs. suburbanites!
Depends on whether you mean farmers with a lot of land and good income, or else field workers etc.How about rural folk? Are they lesser?
I am RURAL folks and don't feel any lesser! Grew up in a town of 3000 and now live in a town of about 4000 and am loving it! Mind you I had a taste of bigger cities when I was younger and liked them as well but I never looked back at my "humble" roots with a sense of superiority! I am happiest around country folk now! It's nice to be able to leave my door unlocked and not to have to avoid certain parts of town! It's a wonderful mixture of lobster fishermen and East Indian legal migrants!And is one considered better than the other? How about rural folk? Are they lesser?
Yes, there are subtle, and not so subtle, differences there as well. You can't get away from it. In countries with Royalty you bow and curtsy because you are not on their level, in Capitalist countries you depend on the rich to trickle some of their questionable gains down to you in the form of jobs! And there will always be inequality between the rich and the poor. The only equality exists in the eyes of our Creator!Depends on whether you mean farmers with a lot of land and good income, or else field workers etc.
In other words, there's no equality.......The only equality exists in the eyes of our Creator!
Not here, there isn't! Even among the rich there is the distinction between the famous "old" families and the nouveau riche! One refuses to acknowledge the other as equal. It is human, in order to make yourself feel better you have to have someone to look down on! Cynical maybe, but true! And I think I know what you were getting at, Pepper, and I disagree! Don't forget: "We are created equal!" Problem is we don't stay that way! But that's not our Creator's fault! He gave us free will and we abuse it!In other words, there's no equality.......
So...you think someone with more money is a better person than a poor person? Pretty darn arrogant, actually.Depends on whether you mean farmers with a lot of land and good income, or else field workers etc.
I have a feeling you misunderstood the question, @oldaunt! That's not how I interpreted it! But who knows, I've been wrong before. A person does not become better because they are rich but they are more highly regarded, and treated more deferentially by most (especially by the workers who depend on their jobs), rightly or wrongly!So...you think someone with more money is a better person than a poor person? Pretty darn arrogant, actually.
