Facial And Neck Tattoos, Why?

I think the reason so many are now getting tatoo's is the lack of any sort of education on what tattoo's are and why they are.

When I was a kid, some 70 or so yeas back, tattoos were considered to be evil and used by immoral folks. If I went to the local fair I could find a tatoo tent and for a dime or quarter I could get in and see this woman with tatoo's on much of her body. But of course back the I was not allowed in to see the tattoo's for being too young. I think they wanted you to be at least 16.

Today I still think the things are ugly and should be avoided.

I did not know they could be removed. Sounds like a good response for employers to use when hiring these tattoo nuts. Employers do have a right to expect and demand certain life style while working for them. Drinking and drugging and smoking are a couple of other lifestyles that can be used by the employer.
 

Hope folks will read my lighthearted joke about this thread that I wrote at 1:53PM this afternoon. Could get a laugh out of it.
 
Yeah, they can be "erased". I once saw that being done. They use some kid of laser light and it vaporizes (?) the ink.

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.

No....when YOU make the complaint...I'll respond to YOU.

And that 'Timmy does it too' argument "How many others on this thread are doing the exact same thing?".... doesn't lend any credence to your argument.

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.

Again with the 'Timmy does it too' defense ...........why do you seem to think that this imaginary number of others that may agree with you , fortifies your view ? When it is likely that you do not know who may or may not agree at all.

How about leaving all others out of it & just stand your own ground?

Starsong - You should be warned that any opinion contrary to that of a small group of grumpy old men is strictly forbidden. ClassicRocker, Robusta, Don M, and Traveler are the final authority on all things. You must hate tats and smart phones and, I suspect, women or be roundly condemned. (All of which I like, btw.)

Have a great day!

How the hell did I get lumped in with those guys. I love my smart phone, won't be with out mine physically on my person. These things are life savers. don't mind tats,(except on the face or neck) The absolutely hottest woman I ever made love to had a parrot very large parrot on her covering most of her torso. I will admit to a certain level of misogyny, sorry it's there won't go away.

So There Take That!!!!!!!
 
Icky, acky, blech are what I think of the look of tattoos that cover most of ones arm(s), neck, wherever. I usually can't tell what the "designs" are plus I wonder what they even represent to the tattooee, -- is anyone expected to know? Anyway, decorating your body anywhere with permanent tattoos is kinda sad.
 
It doesn't matter to me if or where the tats exist. Humans have been tattooing themselves since prehistoric times- who really cares? It's always been a human thing, since we started walking upright.
 
Both my husband and daughter have tattoos, I'm not a fan, but I don't love them less because of them..they're as tasteful as tattoos can get and not near their faces or necks . I really don't like to see Tattooed faces or necks, or even hands come to that, but I completely defend anyone's right to do what they want with their own body, as long as it's harming no-one else !!

I’m exactly the same way hollydolly. My husband has three tattoos and while I don’t particularly like them, I don’t judge him or think any less of him because he does. I don’t have any tattoos .

Facial and neck tattoos are a bit ‘out there’ for me but I try not to make any assumptions about a person based on their external appearances as they can be deceiving.
 
Not sure where this thread is going. Seems to be all over the place. The one thing that makes me sick, to see, is when someone is "dipping" and then spitting their wad of snot into a little cup or can. I immediately know that the person chewing/dipping is an ignoramus, just as cigarette smokers are, since there is zero debate possible: tobacco causes cancer, in many forms. FWIW, we didn't allow any tobacco use in my shop. I became nauseated seeing dippers doing their ignorant thing, and tattooing or piercing while feeling queasy was not the way to go.
 
I don't personally like tattoos, but so what? My opinion pertains only to me, not to what anybody else does with their body.

I do have to wonder, though, why tattoos have to be so permanent. Wouldn't it make more sense to use a kind of ink that can be easily removed, say by washing with a particular kind of soap?

Hate to say this, but you sure couldn’t live, or perhaps even visit, some of the areas of the U.S. that I have been in. Some of the cowboys would kindly escort you out of their area! Heck, some of the women could even pin a man to the ground with a closed fist.

Talk this way on here is fine, but in person to any of these cowboys could become hurting. They don’t take to kindly to cowboy bashing.

Just letting you know that.
 
I travel all over the US. Unless someone is dipping while they're talking to me, I'm keeping my opinion to myself, just as I do when I see the ignorant folks smoking cigarettes, from afar.

Are you sure CR? I'm sure things have changed some since you've been a cowboy way back when.

One thing for sure, in some areas of America, a person has numerous tattoos and possibly some on their face and neck, they will be totally judged. Perhaps even pushed to move out of the town. There are small towns in the Rocky Mountain and Plains States that don’t put up with things they consider “weird”.
 
Little kid is in a diner with his family.
He looks over at the counter and here is this guy dressed in jeans a denim shirt with pearl buttons, a brown Stetson and reeboks.
Kid says, "Mister, Are you a cowboy?"
Man looks down and says, "Yesiree sonny I am the rootinest tootenist cowboy you'll ever meet."
Kids says, "If you a real cowboy, how come you ain't wearin cowboy boots?"
"Damn Boy, Can't have folks thinkin I'm in rodeo!"

Ok, I get current issues of Farm and Ranch magazine......nothing like we are talking about are shown. I mean, you really think folks in Sheridan, Wyoming or Boseman, Montana are going to look and act like folks in Fresno, Calif.?

Seriously doubt it!!

Funny, you are a “big city” lady trying to tell me how folks are in smaller towns in the Rockies?? Really?
 
So Rocker, ever hear of Matthew Shepard? Cody, Wyoming? Your boys sure showed him their thoughts about weird people. Did you support their actions, you know just because we don't cotton to your kind in these heah pahts!

I just showed you an article that's all....things do change and you havent been in those areas for many years.
 
By the way, Cee Cee, there will always be people who will chew and dip just like there will always be smokers..... no matter what warnings are out on tv or wherever.

There will always be people with numerous tats, including on the face and/or neck. Do these people get great paying jobs? Seriously doubt it!

Do you get Farm and Ranch Magazine? I rest my case (LOL).

People in cowboy areas DON’T let the area change, or very little if it does. I’m on a relocation forum, so I know from folks who actually live in those areas. Do you go on that forum? Didn’t think so!
