If you got a tattoo, what would it be?

perhaps people should stick to answering the question :If you got a tattoo what would it be?

So, if, like me, you wouldn't actually get one but can answer hyopthetically what you would like if you were going to - do so

If you would get one, answer accordingly

If you wouldnt get one, but have a humourous answer like somebody said the invisible man - answer with that.

if you dont like tattoos at all - just scroll past the thread. no need for derogatory remarks and hijacking the thread: the question wasn't do you like them

As an analogy - if I started a thread - if you were buying new lawn bowls what logo would you get?
people could answer I dont play or ever intend to play lawn bowls but hyopthetically I would get xyz
Or a humourous non derogatory answer
Or a real answer

But if you just hate lawn bowls or think it is stupid or it says something about people who play or feel the need to point out the obvious fact that logos are permanant and cannot be removed from the bowls - scroll past.
don't hijack the thread with posts irelevant to the question

Members ‘should’ probably stick to the topic but unfortunately they don’t and there’s really nothing anyone can do about it. What people do with their own body is their own business. Unfortunately people make it their own business and feel the need to express that. Some people express themselves respectfully and some people don’t. These two types of people clash. Clashing personalities are why threads get closed. No amount of disliking this type of conduct will stop it.

Yes, I know that we are expected to stay on topic but, unfortunately, I think I'm not very good at it. In fact, I'm off topic right now.
Apparently, not only can threads be closed, they can be deleted.

Okay at first I answered I'd get one that washed off, meant to be a little humorous while putting my dislike for them out there. It's funny how some things which people rightfully do just to suit themselves like dying their hair in vivid, un-natural colors doesn't entice me to say I'd never do that though I probably wouldn't. But somehow tats elicit a bigger yuck response from me.

So let me mend my ways and say if I got one hypothetically I'd either get something botanical like the ones @RadishRose shared or, for humorous effect, get one of Charlie Chaplin in the small of my back.

Well I also went off topic to answer Januarys post but , like yourself, I’m often going off topic . Forum conversations resemble real life conversations; they go off topic. That’s perfectly normal. Maybe this thread will get closed due to my post, maybe even deleted.
Im certainly not a top poster.

I find nothing objectionable to any of your posts in this thread.
 
Gee, I have 4 tats, all Sailor Jerry designs. Waited until after I retired to get the first one (Hula Girl), got the second one (Mermaid) for my 70th birthday, and the last 2 (4 Aces & Dice) for my 71st birthday. They are all covered up with a t-shirt. The only time I exposed them in public was when I was riding my last Harley (which I no longer have). I'd like to have one more, but kinda running out of room, since I would like to be able to see it with a mirror. Maybe for my 80th birthday???

Sorry. With tats, my mind immediately goes to Holocaust. It's the way I was raised, with tattooed people being only sailors & camp survivors.

Nice!

I think potentially offensive tattoos (which IMO involve foul language and/or nudity) should be generally covered up when in public. Several years ago, my father and his wife treated me and the kids to Disney World (ugh), and while we were waiting in line for one of the attractions all three kids noticed a man with a fully naked woman tattoed up the full length of his calf. It was impossible not to notice. I wasn't happy that they had to look at that as we waited in line for several minutes. It wasn't a huge deal, but I was irked. Things like that should be covered up, I think—at least in places where children are likely to be.
