Don't ask me why they do it because I don't know but it is definitely gross. Especially tattoos colored green, why green? Get a color that goes well with your skin, whatever. It is just weird and stupid and makes me mad. grrr.... I'm not kidding.
I saw someone at work (he worked for the same company, different area) with a tattoo of a teardrop under one of his eyes... What does that mean? Did he kill someone?
Probably ran away from the circus.

Actually, the Tasmanian Devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) isn't extinct, just endangered. And I meant the Warner Brothers cartoon version of the Tasmanian Devil, which was popular among tacky people a few years ago when a friend of mine (a hot tattooed woman, incidentally) was working in a tattoo shop in the tasteless state of Florida.

Why don't you just ask him what it means, if anything?
I doubt that if it's intensely personal he would decide to tattoo it on his face.
It's always a bad idea to make assumptions, but we can consult the all-mighty Wikipedia for some random bullshit.
> In prison it is often used to signify that the wearer is a "sissie." Generally the prisoner is forced to get the tattoo by their "sugar daddy."
> However, its usage is known to have originated in the Chicano gangs of California.
> Often, it signifies that an individual has killed another person, particularly while in prison; at other times, it means that a family member, friend, or fellow gang member has died or been killed.
> Other times, it can stand for the number of years one has been in prison or the serving of more than one prison term.
TL;DR version: It's completely ambiguous.
> I doubt that if it's intensely personal he would decide to tattoo it on his face.
Of course, I would question the judgement of anyone who willingly tattooed the most visible part of their body.
i think its pretty sad that people can judge other people by what they do to their bodies. having tattoos or body mods doesn't make you a tramp, a low life, white trash or any of the other negitive thoughts associated with having a tattoo. getting a tattoo doesn't change who you are inside, if a girl with a tattoo is a tramp its not because she has a tattoo, its simply because she's a tramp, with or without the tattoo. so all you people that think that people with tattoos are sub-human because they have them. GO FUCK YOURSELF! because your an ignorante piece of shit and you should be shot because your not better than some one just because they have a tattoo.
>>90
If you really aren't prepared to be judged for it, then you shouldn't have gotten tattooed.
I have a tattoo on my penis!
>>90
Having a tattoo doesn't change what you have inside. Rather, it reflects what you have inside. Just like when you post that people should be shot because of their opinions.
I, for one, just find tattoos to be unsexy.
I would have a One Way road sign pointing away from the hole.
Tattoos are just a shitty fad, they don't hold the true value or meaning that they portrayed in more ancient times (you don't need a tattoo in the office space, at the construction site, or at McDonalds.)
Most people who get tattoos are bouncers, people who have no clear direction in life and don't think about the outcomes of their decisions which is why the majority end up regretting getting them after some time.
These people for all I know are mostly egocentric assholes who pretend to be rebels (even the intelligent ones) and don't give a fuck about what other people think, in their minds getting a tattoo is the right thing even if their decision was the result of peer pressure, being high, lack of self discipline, ignorance, or mere stupidity.
Most of these people ultimately get tattoos to show off or get some sort of attention, sure they may think it is a form of art but no one really gives a fuck about them (except their little groups of tattoo freaks), your skin is not a damn canvas, tattoos simply are conversation starters and nothing more. People get used to them after a while, and even if they still hold their original value or meaning these people will eventually get bored and want to get a new one, if the contrary is true most of them will probably regret it in the future.
There are better ways to remember someone or something and that is by using your damned memory, yes the one you use to remember how to clean your ass after taking a dump. If you can remember how to clean your ass, do you think you'll forget that special something/someone if you don't get that tattoo? Be rational.
>>101 they don't hold the true value or meaning that they portrayed in more ancient times
wat
In 1965 the meaning they portrayed was generally something along the lines of "hurrrrrrrrrrrr I is a sailor," "hurrrrrrrrrr I work for da carnival," or or "hurrrrrrrrrr I just gotted out of da penimatentiary."
What has changed in 2008, other than that there's a fad for tattoos now among wannabees and emo kids who go out of their way, pay a lot of money, and subject themselves to non-trivial physical discomfort because they watched too much MTV and decided it would be cool to make themselves look like thugs and carnival freaks?
あげる
Speaking as a female, I've always hated tatoos...actually anything directly applied on the skin. Stamps, stickers, writing on your hand etc. You name it, hated it with a passion even as a child. Tatoos are just incredibly unattractive and give me a crawly feeling.
Piercings however, and jewelry in general, have always fascinated me. Maybe it's the shinyness, or that it's easily removable (in most cases) if you dislike it.
Just my opinion.
I'm going to get a tattoo of the word "tattoo" so I'll be cool and ironic and someone will finally love me.
tatoo = degenerate
For me, it depends on the tattoo and the person.
I'm going to get dragons running down my arm, 'RAPE' tattooed on my knuckles, and a swastika on my forehead. Then I'll finally be completely unemployable!
I don't like the most tattoos, because most of the motifs are so over-used. Tribals, dragons, skulls, the names of relatives...meh, boring.
Makes people look stupid, like they wanted to be special and ended up being like everyone else.
But I do appreciate people who turn their bodies into something new, via tattoos or other body mods. They don't see it as a fashion thing, I guess that's why I like it.
For example this guy: http://bmezine.com/news/guest/20080318.html Awesome!
>>108 More power to you. I guess.

My tattoo is going to say "Ceci n'est pas une tattoo"

The point isn't to be innovative, the point is to troll the intellectuals. This phrase is completely non-humorous regardless of your understanding of the references. Those that do understand the references are always guaranteed to comment along the lines of "that's not funny" or "that's just stupid". I'll have the last laugh when I can say that they have been trolled.
Dude that is so post-ironic, you're post-hilarious.
I met a girl in a club once who turned out to have a tattoo of David Duchovny on her butt. Only it wasn't a portrait; it was drawn like he was inside her butt, and he's all pressing his face up against the inside of her butt like it's a pane of glass and he's smushing himself up against the inside, trying to escape.
It was... an interesting situation. She refused to turn face-up. It was like, "YOU MUST LOOK AT DAVID DOCHOVNY IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS".
Excellent detail and colouring though.
>>117
I would so tattoo David Duchovny on my butt. Great story. Did you see her again or did the emotional scar prevent further meetings?
>>118
Clubslut, mate. When I'm abusing substances it's another matter but the next morning the idea of persuing a relationship with a come dumpster does not appeal. I don't think I even got her name.
I probably should've gotten a picture, though.
That's even more retarded. Did an intellectual hurt your brain when you were younger?
yes its gross.
Tattoos on women are revolting, I wouldn't screw a whore with a tattoo with any of your cocks. They show themselves to be sluts, whores, oxycontin-abusing white trailer park trash, so why would I want to risk STDs by banging one??? How come practically everyone in a porn flick has a tattoo??? Tattoos are for low class grunts...truckers, longshoremen, whores, druggies...my company wouldn't hire anyone with a visible tattoo even if they claimed to have a MBA and could do a heart transplant single-handedly...because their overall judgment is easily subject to influence and manipulation.
>>123
Don't worry no women wants to screw you either!
>my company wouldn't hire anyone with a visible tattoo even if they claimed to have a MBA and could do a heart transplant single-handedly
That's because managing business and performing surgery are irrelevant to working in a sweatshop.
I think tattoos are the best example of the phrase, 'men don't objectify women, women objectify themselves' being born out in reality.
Women care about sex and not much else.
>>The X number of Women I've met care about sex and not much else.
fixed
wow a lot of ignorance commented here.since when do women only think about sex?last time i checked man were the ones who only think about sex loll although that's a lie too except for some of them.....and i do have a tattoo although i'm not some welfare bitch.I got a tattoo of my moms name because she passed away when i was 20 and she was all i had.
oups sorry for the repeats
>>128-131
Maybe if your brain weren't so occupied thinking about sex all the time you wouldn't make mistakes like that.
SPOILER: Humanity as a whole thinks about sex all the time, men and women.
HURR DURR let's bash the other sex.
> since when do women only think about sex
since never. that's an awfully stupid generalization
> last time i checked man were the ones who only think about sex
incorrect. that's also an awfully stupid generalization
Congratulations, you're so stupid you judge others for mistakes you do too.
I`m a girl and I do have a tear drop tattoo on my right eye(in the corner of the eye) because I've really killed somebody.I've killed a guy,and I get away with it,I mean they never find who's the killer of that guy.And because of that I didn't pay for what I've done,I didn't pay for taking his life.And my second tattoo that I have it's on my foot(close to my heel from my left foot)it's a heart with a sed face and eyes with tears driping from them,and around the heart the words:I'm sorry for what I've done JOSEPH.Buy the way I forgat to mention that the guy's name htat I've killed it's Joseph.
You're a dumbass for one of two reasons:
Of these two, it's most likely the later.
all of you are retarded close minded wastes of life.
most retards like you people that get tattoos, have no knowledge on tattoos, there is an entire tradition and culture to tattoos. most of the idiots you hang out with that get their last names over their back, some tribal bullshit that has absolutely no tradition style put into it.
people tattoo legitimately are artists with character and understanding of the back ground and different styles of tattooing.
Wayne Dayton, you have no understanding of life itself. i have been tattooed multiple times and by no means are they cheap and dont give me a trailer trash identity they resemble memories and experiences in my life i dont want to forget. you judge people by something that resembles importance permanently place on their skin. I dont have an std , I have tattoos. you also don't seem have very much respect for women if you consider sex, just sticking your cock in some bitch. I hope on your way to your office job, which you are surrounded by the same, boring low lifes of this world you are hit by a bus, but dont die, you become a vegetable, and are stuck in a wheel chair for the rest of your life hating every second of whats left of your pathetic existence. grow a REAL brain
Hey - don't worry DADATION, you actually didn't kill me. I am OK. and have been looking for you. Thanks for the email address.
>>136
Saying you murdered someone that may be fictional with only a first name isn't enough for them to convict you.
There is a chick at my school thats a chubby redhead with pale white skin and that bitch has a heart tattoo on her wrist, a big ugly ass tattoo on her neck, a wad catcher (tramp stamp) and who knows where else shes got em. I wouldnt dare want to be her boyfriend. Shes going to be a fat frumpy wife with tattoos. Sorry girls this is one guy that wont date a women I'll have to see give birth to babies looking like a whore. Her boyfriend has to close his eyes
Oh God it just doesn't shitting matter. Fucksakes.
Why just girls? Guys with tattoos are just as gross. Anyone with tattoos is disgusting.
ITT lulz
Tattoos are for insecure people that just follow the crowd. Thus, notice the correalation between people that smoke and have tattoos. I am a guy and would never get one . On women , its downright hideous. Why would women want to look masculine? That is what tattoos do to your body.
In all honesty, sometimes I think tattos can make a woman more attractive. These are exceptions however, as the vast majority of tattoos are of inferior quality/design and the majority of people who get tattoos are just 'hurr this will look cool'.
>>137
People like this guy irk me though. I understand that the rage was doing most of the typing, but still.
I'll never understand why people claim that their tattoos have some "deep meaning". It's not like you're ever going to forget the important memories anyway. (I suspect it's used as a conversation piece)
I personally am not a fan of tattoos nor is my dad, I dont really like the idea of needles. It is bad enough when I go and donate blood, I couldnt imagine being strapped to a chair and having a tattoo done, the pain would be excruciating. I dont share the same caustic viewpoints as my dad, and believe it is up to the individual as they must live with it. I won't purely as it hurts, is permanent and see a tattoo as a form of self expression. My form of self expression is through my karate training. To each their own.
Being raised in a catholic family, quite conservatively my dad always said to me that tattoos look cheap and nasty particularly on women, and I should never associate with them or become involved with one. (WW2 Era values I guess.) Funny thing is my sister has a massive one on her lower back. I wonder if he thinks my sister is a skank? Whatever happened to not judging a book by its cover?
you fools do know that this thread is like 3 years old right
Tattoos are disgusting, on women and men. Being a guy , I find that tattoos defeminize women, if thats a word lol. Seriously, they do make a woman look masculine and kind of dyky. Say what you want about tattoos, they will affect prospects of certain jobs. I for one would not go to a restaurant that was an upper scale, if the person serving me had visible tattoos. I have already changed place where I get eye glasses, because a 60 yr old conservative looking lady , I might add, had a disgusting tattoo on her neck. That is my right as a consumer. Call me prejudice or judgmental and that is cool. It is also cool that I have the right to spend my dough the way I see fit. Generally , tattoo folks turn me off. There are many like myself and life is not fair. Just think before you get those eye sores.
Hahaha, I knew a guy who had the crappiest Tazmanian devil tattoo EVER. It was on his forearm (worst spot possible) and was wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey/helmet and holding a hockey stick. God it was terrible.
On another note, let it be known that I consider myself to be a very attractive, feminine CORPORATE woman and I have a large shoulder piece, TRAMP STAMP and am getting my ribs done next week. Although I do not want any more after this one, I love all my tattoos and have never heard any complaints from men.
A beautiful tattoo is the same as a beautiful piece of art work.
> I love all my tattoos and have never heard any complaints from men.
Ha! Well, I'm not going to tell you that you're fat, either. Or point out growing wrinkles. I'd rather continue sleeping in the same bed as my girlfriend, and not on my best friend's futon.
I'm not trying to argue about the artistic merit of body ink, but it's just something to think about.
>but it's just something to think about.
You're right, I'll be thinking about what the fuck kind of point/argument you're trying to make with your post for a very long time
Easy now, don't hurt yourself grinding the little mouse gears in your head.
At least one good thing that would happen if I got a tattoo I could avoid all those cretins that judge a woman by what is on her body, claiming it is disgusting, deminishs her femininity and makes her a whore (when in fact she is not). It not only reflects badly upon those men, but also shows they have very little respect for women in general and only see them as an object to fuck and controle. The men who act like that are the trash.
Thanks for sharing your article. I really enjoyed it. I put a link to my site to here so other people can read it.
There are lots of people out there with tatoos that are very nice, but those tatoos give the wrong impression especially when their all over the body.
Women and girls should NOT get tattoos period!
women are supposed to be feminine and pretty, not ugly!
the reason young girls and women get tattoos in the first
place is due to peer pressure!
wake up people! don't go along with what is considered cool
and trendy! think for yourself!
>>156
So basically you are saying men that care about a woman’s appearance or care how she maintains it are trash. Well that really just leaves you with the blind and men who are so desperate they are in no position to be picky.
Yes but being beautiful and being pretty are not the same thing
For instance David Siqueiros’s “Echo of a scream” is beautiful but it is certainly not pretty like a flower or a woman. Similarly though whatever artwork you have plastered on yourself may be beautiful by its own merit, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I find it attractive or pretty on you.
>>161
Don't be an ass. She's obviously saying saying that men who demand or expect women to conform to an arbitrary value system are chauvinist and arrogant. There are plenty of well groomed or "maintained" girls with tattoos, so what exactly are you trying to pitch?
Besides, there are plenty of healthy guys who find tattoos and piercings to be totally hot. 8 or so years ago the Suicide Girls were on some burlesque show tour, and when I went to see it the place was packed. Your idea of attractiveness isn't some concrete value that has to be uniformly shared everywhere.
Please post your response in triplicate.
“She's obviously saying that men who demand or expect women to conform to an arbitrary value system are chauvinist and arrogant.”
Which is what caring about a woman’s appearance is despite whatever negative connotations you try to attach to it, fundamentally there is very little difference between not liking women with tattoos and not liking women with unkempt hair, or not liking women who dress badly, the difference mostly being is how the demographics of these preferences are distributed. And it’s not like any one of us is not guilty of this anyway; I mean seriously do you think that vast majority of people don’t have some level of expectation of the appearance of someone they are interested in? it’s pretty silly to think like that.
>object to fuck and controle
That is because that is what they are.
Also, there's no 'e' at the end of "control".
Comparing tattoos to cleanliness is absurd. Pretending that there aren't men attracted to tattoos is the same.

Honestly, i see there is nothing wrong with a girl getting a tattoo. Just because they have a tattoo doesn't mean they are sluts, mabye they just wanted a tattoo. But, not everyone are attracted to the same things...
Yes.
depends...

Tatts are for convicts and whores.
sexy convicts
They're not my favorite thing, no.
It is so annoying when people call lower back tattoos tramp stamps. Some people are putting them there because it is a spot that is easily hidden, so that getting a tattoo won't affect their job opportunities or what they can wear. Sure, some girls may get them and then wear super low jeans that show them off and make them look trashy, but many girls don't! I don't understand what is so disgusting about the lower back. Come on people.. this isn't the 1800s. Women don't get in trouble for showing their ankles anymore. Stop being so closed minded.
I would not like my wife to get a tattoo. It's just not my thing. But if she really wants it, there's nothing I can do about it.
If I was single, and I met a tattooed girl it would probably rub me the wrong way. I'm really picky, so it's rare that I enjoy a tattoo. On the other hand it would also not be a showstopper, unless she's so extreme that she tattooed half of her face.
tattoos are for fags
