If you got a tattoo, what would it be?

Lol no we fought over anything and everything not tattoos .

Different times and we did not want to be there .

OK, I totally understand that. Thank you. The point was to fight, irrespective of the reason.

As one ages and matures, the appearance of mass quantities of testosterone in younger men becomes more and more apparent. Yeah, I went through that too, but I think I'm beyond it now, though I am no stranger to having been involved in a few along the way.

How true .

Good grief! Sounds like you thrive on feeling attacked, even when no attack exists.



Well then, why in the name of God would you post it on a public forum? Truly amazing!

No one here is harassing you, you just have a chip on your shoulder. As for crossing the line, I just asked you a simple question and then you threw and unprovoked hissy fit. So YOU CROSSED THE LINE, not me.

"Disfigurement" refers to a permanent alteration of the body's natural state—it doesn’t inherently mean harm or ugliness. That’s why I didn’t use ‘mutilation.’ You can call it enhancement, beautification, or graffiti, but the fact remains: the body is permanently changed. If pointing that out feels like moralizing to you, maybe that says more about your own biases than mine.

Obvious to you, perhaps. But given the discussions around tattoo removal and regret, it seems not everyone fully considers the permanence before making the decision. Just because something is obvious to you doesn’t mean it’s not worth stating.

I can assure you the difficulties are all yours. However, I do apologize as it was not my intention to send you scrambling for your dictionary. Next time, I’ll try to simplify my point so it’s easier for you to follow.

All the more reason why Rakaia should not get one.

I see you’re doubling down on semantic nitpicking while adding a touch of condescension. That said, calling it 'dramatic' doesn’t change the definition. Disfigurement is simply a permanent alteration to the body’s natural state—whether you personally find the word too strong is irrelevant. You admit tattoos alter and modify the body, and disfigurement is just one category of that. We can dance around terminology all day, but the reality remains the same.

Condescension, indeed. Not to mention a dash of petty insults.

Anyway, I'm done. It's painfully obvious this will go nowhere.

Goodbye.

Seems like a whole lotta people on this thread actively reinforce stereotypes of old people being cranky, judgy, superior and stuck in their ways. Well done, members of the "Hey you kids, get off my lawn" club.

As typically happens on SF, the usual suspects line up in the usual ways.

I agree. Had we been born in a later generation our feelings about tats would be different, I’m sure of it.

Even so the only kind I’d ever wear would be ones that can wash off. But I never would because it has no appeal for me no matter how circumstantial the reasons may be. I’d probably be far more open to eating whale if I’d been born an Inuit but I don’t intend to buck my inclinations on that front either.

I got a seahorse back when I was in the Navy. That was in 1958.

To me, a sailor or soldier having a tattoo is fair enough . I like the anchor or seahorse, they make sense.

What I can't for the life of me understand is why so many people, especially women, are practically covered in them.

I appreciate the effort, Dave, but compiling my quotes like a fan archive doesn’t make your argument any stronger. If you had a valid counterpoint, you wouldn’t need the scrapbook.

While you're looking up the definition of disfigurement, go ahead and look up irony and hypocrisy

And now, because I know for a fact you will never stop, because it's imperative for you to get in the last word... Ignore.

Ah yes, irony and hypocrisy—like accusing me of needing the last word while making a grand exit speech. Well played, Dave.
 
When my grandson was a new infant, I lectured him about not getting tattooed. Thinking he may have forgotten, I re-started my campaign last week.

His temporary ones of, i.e. Spiderman, etc. OK cause they temporary.

I can’t decide if you’re being clever, 😀 or you believe I’ve used the word incorrectly. If it’s the latter, I assure you I haven’t.

There have been so many posts in this thread that I've started to answer, but then deleted. This was one of them... you used the word correctly, @Ronni , and I didn't understand the "fixing" reply either.

At this point, I'm just sticking around this thread to see who says "kindergarten baby, stick your head in gravy" first. :rolleyes:😄

Too funny, thanks for the chuckle.


BTW... there are no babies in kindergarten. (Joking of course - just to illustrate that people will argue about anything.)
 
Why do prison populations get so many tattoos?
Does this happen in prisons around the world?
I associate tattoos with prisoners, gangs, people trying to be "cool" when they actually are rather lost souls, that sort of people.
