Tattoos, Body Art & body modifications

[nero_bolt]

I dislike tatoos

I disliketatoos on women even more, think they look so yuck and cheap and as a couple of friends of mine say to me it make the women look skanky 

and then you have this.. The body mods..... YUCK 

What are all these people going to look like when they are 40 and 50 etc......

With tattoos now in the mainstream, some people are discovering new ways to standout from the crowd, pushing their bodies to artistic extremes.

SARAH FERGUSON, PRESENTER: You might think that the craze in body art couldn't get any bigger than it already is, but tattoos have become so common that enthusiasts are searching for ever more outrageous body modifications, as they're known. For example, eyeball tattoos and tongue splits. If you haven't seen one it's worth staying with us, although it's not for the squeamish as our reporter Monique Schafter found.

If being a walking, talking graffiti board equates to sophistication then I prefer to remain an unsophisticated  slob 🙂

I wound venture to say the getting you blood group type on your wrist was not in ornate 100cm characters.

Tattoos are a fashion, too, but one that cannot be changed as easily as a new shirt.

I really do not mind them on anyone else, because that is how I see them...a look, an emotion perhaps, a drunken mistake...

People are who they are, with or without any markings.

That is quite true Amber, like a book that you do not know the contents of until you read it.

I prefer to read a book with a cover that does not assault my senses and insult my intelligence 🙂

 It was on the inside of my left elbow actually but you're quite right; the entire tattoo is less than 2cm square.

"I suppose some people are sophisticated enough to understand the saying about not judging a book by it's cover and some just aren't."

And perhaps worldly enough to realise:

"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible."

“I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.”
"A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence."

so, a nudist?

Poddster, a long standing friend of mine recently acquired a very large, somewhat forceful chest tattoo. To go with his current lifestyle. It isn't something I considered a great idea...but it does not change him as a person. He is now about fifty...and will remain childish, amusing, and selfish to the end. But I will always care about him, new cover and flaws notwithstanding.

I knew the contents of the book for what they were before the cover was "updated".

To each his own. I'd only have a strong opinion if a wife or one of my kids wanted one (and I'm not saying I have any of those).

Putting one on your face is a terrible idea. I have a hard time talking to someone with one on their face, without thinking about what's on their faceinstead of what they are saying. Probably best to keep them where a tee shirt and jeans would cover them.

Great tattoo artists are becoming easier to find these days...they've come a long way from those greenish black ones. It would interesting to go back in time and see what the Mayans, etc think of these.

amber eye? \/ \/ \/ \/

Those are all pretty impressive 🙂
