A Little To Much Ink?

She forgot her hands and face!
I saw a woman at a car dealership a while back who had tattooed large loop earrings on her head, and they came across her cheeks .... lovely!!

Doesn't anyone ever get ink poisoning from doing that?
 
I don't get how anyone could find that even slightly appealing. Tats sag along with everything else and this poor lady is obviously not thinking very clearly if she's proud of that look. The lengths people will go to for attention amaze me.
 
From what I gather from my tat-loving friends it's a lifestyle choice. To them it's improving the human body and they look forward to the next one like a kid looks forward to Christmas.

Actually, that lady isn't too bad - there are far scarier ones out there ...

A guy was in the store the other day and had all these lines and curves all over his face. I couldn't understand why he did it until I told my friend about it. She told me to google Alaska face tattoos and sure enough, there it was. It seems certain tribes do tattoo their faces and each line means something to them. Now I understand and more power to them.
 
I'm not a fan of tattoos. Have nothing against folks who have a few "decorations" but there's just something disturbing about the people who go beyond overboard. To each his own I guess but still . . . , . . . !?!?!

Thought of getting one during the war but couldn't decided what I wanted on my arm forever and ever and ever . . .

I can appreciated the art but as with graffiti why not just on a canvas?
 
Lol, now imagine that gal in a turtle neck, long sleeves and slacks. You met her online and are meeting her for a first date. She not only looks attractive, but she's smart and very interested in going to your place for a romantic evening. Then, after a glass or two of wine, the clothes start to come off. :magnify: :D

These people obviously have some self-esteem type issues, and feel they have to do something different to be special and noticed or admired by others. I don't even like sleeve tattoos on men. I'm not completely against tattoos, I already mentioned on another thread here that I have one that I got when I was younger, and it's in an area where it was only seen by the public when I was vacationing in Hawaii and wearing a high-leg cut bikini. It's in very pale pastel colors. I loved it when I got it, and I still feel the same way. Hubby likes it too.

I like to watch those shows on cable TV sometimes like Inked, and Tattoo Nightmares. It's funny and amazing what some people will get tattooed on their bodies, then years later, they want to get a bigger tattoo to cover it up. One was a guy with a big red heart that said Nancy will you merry me? So, sometimes these jokers can't even spell, lol.

Then there's sexy girls who have fingers that look like animal claws or peanuts. There's some portraits that look nothing like the photo of the person that was given to the "artist". Some big fat guy had in huge letters on his chest and belly FU** LOVE, well now that he was married and had a kid, he had to get a huge tattoo to cover it. One or two tattoos on someone is okay, but I think it's freakish when I see them all over the neck, shaved heads, full arms/legs, etc. And yes, I believe there are some issues with ink poisoning, especially when cheap quality products are used.
 
Looks like faux leopard-skin coat lapels exposing ... clavicle?

That's MY guess, anyway - let us know if you find out.

This is my only one, on my inner-right forearm - it's a dragon wrapped around a Yin-Yang symbol. Never got the matching tiger on the left side - one of these days ...

I might have mentioned this on another thread about tats but it bears repeating here. Now, I was a well known class clown in school . . . so, at a high school reunion wore a fake tattoo sleeve with skulls and flames and naked ladies on one arm under a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up. My friends got the joke but one woman shyly approached and said the group she was with sent her over to ask if I had really gotten inked. It was the perfect opportunity to pretend taking her into my confidence (for her watching friends across the room) and tell her she now had the honor of being in on the joke and to go back to that bunch and say I told her, "Sure. And you should see what's on my ass!" :woohoo:

Kat Von D? .. She was involved with the ex-husband of Sandra Bullock (Hollywood actress) a few years back. It was a divorce scandal in the news at the time. I guess it's all over. :zz:

Bingo! That's how I see it too.

It's what you're raised thinking I guess, when I was young a tattoo was viewed as a 'loser' sign. Only crims, lowlifes and sailors had them, and young 'ladies' like me would have nothing to do with any of 'those types'.

I still cringe to see them, and wonder what the hell people are thinking but I don't see it as a social status or IQ indicator any more at least.

Those tribal face tattoos on Maoris and other cultures who indulge in them have never worried me at all though. It's a different thing to people tattooing 'Mum' on their arm as though they were the only person who ever had one.
 
We never were raised to think of men with tattoos as losers, normally we'd see an arm tattoo or two on a military man. Never saw any on women back then. Nothing like the freakshows walking the streets nowadays...different times I guess, but count me out, lol. Not lovin' the big ear holes. tongue posts, or nose/lip/eyebrow rings either, but live and let live. :)
 
Tattoos were fairly rare in OZ back in the 50s when i was growing up. They were seldom seen, even on returned servicemen other than the Navy.
It just wasn't part of our 'kulcha' or fashion I guess. Sure is now though. Plastic surgeons and laser operators are making a fortune removing the evidence of previous brainsnaps from aging women and embarrassed professional men. But just as many are still getting their future regrets scrawled and scribbled on themselves.
 
I agree with the messages here. Tattoos look like graffiti.
They say it is art: yes, in the same way that naĂŻve bad art is.
Younger women usually have beautiful skin and I hate to see it marred and
defaced with words and miscellaneous drawings. They underestimate the
beauty of their natural bodies. Sometimes it is hideous.
The only good reason is if you have scars to hide or some discoloration.,
they believe that tattoos are cool but times will change and one day
it will not be cool. I know someone who covers up all his tattoos with clothes
because I think he is embarrassed now.
If you love a drawing or something so much, get some custom t shirts
and clothes and wear those.

He looks like one of those college kids that pass out drunk and their buddies draw on their faces with magic markers ...

He's kind of festive looking, too - I like the swastika pinwheels on his cheeks. Maybe they spin when there's a breeze? The rest of him looks like one of those "Find Your Way Out Of The Maze" puzzle books I used to do as a kid ...
