Facial And Neck Tattoos, Why?

Rocker, If you're reading this, I want you to know that I support you. Are you aware people have taken up a survey about you, personally ?

To be honest Rockr, I thought towards the end of this thread, you actually showed good sportsmanship. :thumbsup:
Tried to add humour when it got tense.
It was entertaining

He's showed good sportsmanship throughout his threads and comments.
Makes him endearing, no matter his bent.

I move to my daughter's when I feel the time is right.

I don't love my house or Trader Joe's, I like them. Yes, I love my kids and grandsons. I don't think that's an obsession.

If anyone is taking a survey, I love Trader Joe's with an unhealthy passion. Maybe even to the level of obsession.
 
Not to bring up the whole "controversial" thing again about tattoos, but I did watch, for a few minutes yesterday, a program called Gangland. Some very wild tats on those guys that do remind me of tattoos I've seen right here in Jacksonville, FL.. In seeing this show, I can truly understand why there are those that don't like the sight of multiple tats, or even one, on the young folks of today. OTOH, there is a show called "Inked" that shows some very nice, beautiful tats on people, but many of those people have a lot of their body covered in them.

Tattoos are permanent statements. The more visible, the louder the statement.

Gangsters use tattoos to show loyalty and affiliation with their brotherhood, to prove how far they will go to show that loyalty, and to intimidate potential victims. Just passing someone on the street who has MS 13 tattoos on his/her face would strike fear in most people's hearts.

Artistic tattoos are a different kind of statement altogether.
 
I find tattoos artistic and interesting. That said, I wouldn't get one - mainly because I know I wouldn't be able to withstand the pain. Had enough difficulty getting pierced ears in my teens.

To each, his own.

Statement or not, the tattoos I seen on Gangland and the ones I see here, are just plain scary to wife and I. There are very artistic tattoos out there, but we just aren't into tattoos.
 
Nothing wrong with a subtle tattoo that can be easily covered with clothing. However, these people who cover their face and neck with tattoos are demonstrating a vacuum between their ears..IMO.

Where we live, they are all over the arms, legs, neck and sometimes on the face. Seen a young black kid last night at McDonalds that had three "tear drop" tattoos below the corner of his eye. Here in Jacksonville, FL, many, many young folks are sporting tattoos all over their arms and on their legs. During the summertime here, these folks REALLY like to show off their tattoos......t-shirts and shorts. The tattoo parlor in the mall down the street from us must make a bundle of money.
 
Thing is, when we were in northern Colorado this past July, basically the only young people that were sporting tattoos were Hispanics. We stopped by a lake in Loveland and I didn't see any boaters/young folks with tattoos. When we went to a major rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we didn't see any tattoos there either. There is a tattoo parlor in Cheyenne, but we didn't see anybody sporting tattoos at the rodeo. We get both Farm & Ranch and Country magazines and none of the pictures of people in either magazine have visible tattoos. ​
 
I must move in different circles I think. I have never met a Black person with tattoos. Clearly some black people do have them, but I have just never personally met any!!

Have you ever seen any on tv? They are definitely in the NFL and NBA. WWE and Cage Fighters have them as well.

Don't know what the demographics is where your house is, but here it's around 40% black. Can't miss the ones with tattoos.
 
No CR...I can't recall seeing any on TV either... ( oh except for documentaries on tribes in the jungle) ..but I think we're discussing westernised people here..

The demographics where I live is less than 1% non white... however I worked in London for many years, as does my husband still, and the percentage of non-whites is 45 % there ..and I still can't recall seeing a non-white with tattoos. I just think we mix with people who are not interested in covering their bodies with cartoon characters!!
