Facial And Neck Tattoos, Why?

Traveler said:
I completely agree with both posts above. It is still giving the finger to society. If I was still a businessman and such a person came to me for a service, I'd find some way to delay, or mess up their request for service. In other words, I'd give the finger right back to them.

Rocker, there are always ways to protect a business and "deal" with offensive people regardless of what the law says. A restaurant owner, for example, can mess up their food order, an apartment owner can run in-depth credit/employment histories etc. Failing that, tattooed people can be hired, but put in jobs that are miserable and out of sight of the public.

So, if someone came into your business with facial and/or neck tattoos, which are legal in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, you would find ways to "mess up" their orders? (Shaking my head.....I'm at a loss why you would think that would make you any better than "them".) Myself, I don't like "bible-thumpers" and "virulent misogynists" but I wouldn't spit in their hamburger or coffee if I was serving it to them.

I, personally, don't like face and neck tattoos, but nobody is forcing me to get one and nobody is forcing me to stare at someone else's. Another person's face and neck tattoo isn't hurting me in any way.
 

I would like to point out that we (hopefully) have advanced beyond primitive behaviors. At the very top of the list, are facial tattoos and bizarre piercings.
There is a tribe in Africa, I have forgotten their name, which uses metal rings to stretch the neck bones. Eventually, their necks are stretched so long that without the rings, they'd die from broken necks.

Lets advance forward, not backward. We are no longer savages living in the jungle.

What is seen, can not be unseen. One glance is enough to ruin my meal.
 

It seems to me that life is short, while we all have our likes and dislikes, becoming irate over people who do not ascribe to our personal view of the world is often an unnecessary stressor. Given the diversity, a person could spend most of their time in a state of rage, that is a recipe for severe physical and emotional health problems.

Listen...they way in which you word your 'questions' it sure as hell is a complaint style. And, there is no such thing as 'normal' tattoos ....if there were we would be born with them.

As for......."Is there any reason we should like them?"

No one is saying you should....but there not on YOU .

Don't you EVER wonder about things people do? Then again, you could be the "go with the flow" type, which there are many of those in society and those people who do weird things to their body depend on those folks who think that. Not saying that you are that way, but.

And, if I was making a complaint about it, so what. How many others on this thread are doing the exact same thing? Better go after them as well.

I don't care for tattoos and I would never get one but what someone else looks like doesn't bother me and I can certainly still eat.

BUT, not everyone in society thinks like you do. There are those on this thread that don't. Seeing these tattoos, no matter where they are, they don't like the sight of them. They have a right to their opinion as much as you do.

I agree with not liking tattoos.....I just don't get sick over them. Seems that's the better way to be.

There is actually only one thing that makes me sick and that's a Cowboy chewing tobacco and then spitting it out....YUCK! :)

Im just messin' with ya, Cody! Lol

Ok, just seen your last sentence, so don't have to explain why my wife totally accepted me chewing, when I met her. However, I stopped doing it in 2005, after my hip replacement was done. I was getting a "tingling" sensation inside of my lower lip. "Time to stop" wife and I agreed.

Funny, I used Copenhagen Snuff and Shoal Straight when I met my wife and it didn't bother her a bit. I spit on the ground or in a bottle. Never kissed her with it in my mouth. I stopped using the snuff, because it was like smoking a Camel non-filter, very strong and hard to get out of the mouth. It was very flaky. The Shoal Straight tasted much better and was very east to get out of the mouth. I stopped dipping after my hip replacement in 2005. I know many, many rodeo cowboys that "dip". Some even use Red Man Chewing Tabaco and that stuff really produces mouth juice. I've used it before as well. Heck, there are ranch owner and hands that "chew" and "dip".

For some, it's just part of the lifestyle of being a cowboy, ranch or rodeo type.

I knew you used to chew tobacco, that's why I mentioned it.

I bet there are a lot of people who find that disgusting, just like tattoos.

In parts of Colorado, in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, the Dakota's, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and some other states, around farmer and ranches, it's not disgusting at all. Not all men do it there, but the ones that do, it's completely acceptable. It could be hard to believe, but it is. If a guy smoked cigarettes, he'd turn to chew, because if that guy is on a horse and drops his cigarette on the horse, where will that dude wind up? On the ground and sore or something broken. I could spit and it would hit my horse on the side or back and he'd never know it. A lite cigarette...…….well, the horse will throw the person into the next State.

There are a number of construction workers who chew. It can be really surprising how many men, and, yes, women, chew in the Rocky Mountain and Plains States.

There must be some limits on how weird people are allowed to become. There are some "street people" who smell so bad that it makes me gag. I'm willing to bet that if such a person sat near you while you were eating you'd be upset also.

There are many ways to assault the senses. Auditory assault via "boom boxes". Cigar smoke can assault our sense of smell. I happen to be allergic to real perfume, it instantly gives me violent headaches. And some of us feel assaulted by bizarre tattoos and weird piercings.

I think your feelings, as well as Cee Cee’s is what these theses people look for, They want “acceptance” and they’re being given that by you folks.

And, not everyone in the U.S. likes, or even wants, diversity. There are areas of America that have very little-to-none of it and that’s fine with the folks that live there.

People will always either complain or get shocked at how others act or look. When there are those that don’t look “normal” to some people, they will be talked about and, obviously sometimes in negative ways. It’s just normal “human behavior”.

Traveler and Cody....I'm sorry I even bothered with this post.

Not worth my time arguing....

That's ok. No problem.

I can't speak for any of the others who think like I do, but I'm an old man, near the end of my days on this planet, and I have nothing to lose by speaking my mind. The way I look at it, the world, and especially our society, has gone to hell. It's just a damn shame that so many proudly support the destruction of the American civilization.
 
Tattoos, body piercings, smoking, using the “f” word, drinking to much are things that some totally dislike, while others aren’t bother by any of these things. Criticism comes up on both sides when discussing these and topics like them.

There are those that have friends and/or family that have and do all of these things and friends and family aren’t bothered by it, then there are friends and family that totally reject a family member that is like this.

Most people have their own feelings about these things, but criticize others that don’t think the way they do. Guess that is “human nature” also.

Well you have the right to your opinions. And FYI, I don't support the destruction of the American Civilization.

I argue enough with you on the other forum, no point doing it here also. :)
 
How about this scenario: A person who dislikes tattoos sees a person that has multiple ones, including on face and neck. The person walks up to this tattooed person and hands them a business card of a doctor who removes tattoos and says “he’s very good”. The tattooed person, in return, gives this person a business card of a tattoo artist and says “he’s very good”.
