I have no tats. I see otherwise nice looking people ruin (my opinion) their appearance with some of the now popular tattoos and piercings. I can't help wondering how they'll feel when they become older. Also, who employes these (again, my opinion) freaks? I, of course like women's "normal" earring piercings and smaller discreet tats are not unattractive. I don't mean to sound old fashioned but I guess truth is, I am in some regards.

I'm with you Jim. If I sound old fashioned then I guess that's just part of who I am.
 
SB, those are beautiful!!!! If I was younger I could imagine a whole back piece in that theme. I admit I have more than a few tattoos. Only the ones on wrist and ankle are really visible. Then again I remember at my nieces wedding, the room got warm so I took off my sweater. The dress was sleeveless. It was just about that time the DJ put on PitBull. All the Pennsylvania relatives disappeared around then.

Piercing anything except ears is beyond me. Lips, eyebrows, the new trend is a bullring in your nose. Just think it looks really painful.
 
I got mine in 1958 when I was a sailor. It is getting a bit fuzzy around the edges now.

About 25 or so years ago there were pictures of Japanese gangsters who had their arms and bodies completely covered with tattoos.
 
My Contribution is not Competitive

Well, I gotta say, I was no less sickened by mine than by yours, though mine pale into insignificance, no doubt! I submit, then, this:




PS: Wanna see my tattoo?? imp
 
I love tattoos and piercings.

I have a large tattoo on the right leg on the side of my calf .
I have 6 piercings.
I'm planning a second tattoo,a watercolor one,will go on my left hand on my wrist (hopefully spouse won't freak out too much) lol

Who cares what they look like when I'm old?

I want a lot of them.
 
I have no tattoos but I almost got one once, a yin/yang symbol on my left thumb webbing, but chickened out. I don't judge what people do to their bodies, so tats and horns and piercings are fine by me.
 
I've got a large black & grey tigers face portrait on my right upper arm......it starts at the top of my shoulder and stops just above my elbow that took a little over three hours to complete.

I was working overseas and had it done in Bangkok while there for a few days off in the early 70's......it was getting pretty faded so I had it completely redone locally in the early 2000's.

I ain't got no piercings and don't want nary.

Nice!

My tattoo has some color,and my next one will be a watercolor tattoo,I'm having a problem finding someone who does the.

I will probably have to go into the ccity.
 
I would like to get an image of Callie sometime. I have one of Sophie on my shoulder. I could imagine an artist weaving a picture of him next to Sophie. It's just that the portrait ones take hours...have to bring a good book.
 
Almost four hours, boring more than painful but he did a beautiful job. It's getting time to touch up the color again, I'd like to add Callie at the same time. The healing wasn't too bad...just a couple days of feeling like a bad sunburn.

Aren't you glad you "chickened out" Gail? Gives you time to think about it again.

Tats are like words spoken; they never can return to normalcy. One cannot "UNtat" without some difficulty.

That's why I tell younger people. Consider it carefully, for several years if need be. Pick something unique with deep meaning to you alone. You don't want something generic from a flash book. Also have the first somewhere discreet. If you feel good about it after that then go for whatever else you feel. I know necks, hands, and even faces have gone more mainstream...but really give those some deep thought.
 
I have 3 tattoos.
2 wee dragonflies on my spine
a stone tablet with my 3 lots in my life on my thigh
a breast cancer homage on my left wrist.

Both my daughters have tat's. Oldest who is a stay at home mom has 2
youngest who is in the dental professional world has a couple. They are all covered. As well she has a tiny nose piercing which she has to keep small in her profession.
Tat's are a personal thing, and I don't find nice art offensive but there sure is a lot of junk out there that is.
 
Well, I have a discreet Hula Girl tat on my right upper arm - about 7" or so, but can be covered with a short sleeve shirt. I was 63 when I had it done, and my wife had an "ankle bracelet" done at the same time. Mine is a "Sailor Jerry" classic design. I'm thinking about a mermaid on my left arm, if I can find someone in Hilo with the Sailor Jerry flash sheets.

On the other hand, waaaay back in the early 1990s I can remember not hiring a gal because of a large tat across her shoulders. Time have changed, or at least I have...
