Women with tattoos.

Like the tatts? Hate the tatts? Yeah, whatever, it's their choice...?

Discuss, enlighten me with your views.

I don't mind them on either men or women.

I wouldn't have one myself.

Wouldn't spend the money, wouldn't want the pain.

Icy, it's even more money and more pain to have them lasered off, if, like some of the looney tunes that have themselves inked while off their trolley on the local sauce in Magaluf, Ayia Napa, etc, on a two week holiday binge. Then these clowns decide it was a silly thing to have done when they've sobered up. In fact many who wish to have them removed find the cost so prohibited, that they opt for a cover-up instead. On one of the programmes I watched it depicted a girl who was now in her early thirties, that had a tatt done in her teens. It was on her chest, wasn't performed in a drunken stupor, but she said that she was now at a different place than she was when she was in her teens. The cost to have this 'removed' - actually that's a misnomer, because they are never entirely obliterated - was £3,000, and the pain was unbelievably excruciating. She had to have a ten minute break after each five minute lasering during the hourly session, and the whole excersise took a month to execute.

Six months later the film crew went back to see her, and the outline was still quite visible, but although it wasn't gone completely, she seemed happy with the results. TBH it looked worse, because now it wasn't possible to see exactly what it was, and her skin was discoloured. Looked terrible, but as I say, she was satisfied.

I have 4.

1 on my left ankle, 1 on my right thigh, and 1 on each arm near the sholders.

None were painfull, although only the one on my right arm turned out really good, I might consider having the other 3 removed or covered.. I can't say that I so much regret having them done, but I don't value them now as much as I did when I got them. Even the one that came out really good, I don't so much care for anymore. If I had no tattoos now, at this point in my life, I wouldn't consider getting any. If I do have any more inking done, it will only be to cover or enhance the 3 I already have that didn't turn out so well.

But it is art, the ones who give them are artists, some are skilled, others, not so much. Like anything else, it's a matter of opinion. I don't like most tattoos I see, but have seen some I like very much. As with shots and injections, one must be carefull that condisions are clean, if so, then the risk is low for infections.

Far as tattoos on women, I don't see why it should be any diffrent than on men. Like clothing, hair style, makup or anything else, these things can make you look good or bad or maybe both depending on who is judging the appearance.

I wouldn't fault anyone for getting a tattoo or not geting one, your body, your choice, if your at least 18, lol.

I saw that Doctors show the other day and there is supposedly a new way of removing tattoos which is completely successful and also painless.  I wasn't watching closely but it is some kind of laser treatment.

You can bet though if it is very good and it is painless it's also going to be very expensive.

"You can bet though if it is very good and it is painless it's also going to be very expensive."  Painless?

The latest process for tattoo removal  is by using a pico-laser which uses a pulse of light that exists for a billionth
of a second to mechanically break up the tattoo ink so that the body then naturally absorbs/removes it.

Q. Will the PicoSure treatment hurt?
A. The treatment feels somewhat similar to getting a tattoo. Our staff can numb the area prior to the procedure if necessary for comfort. Patients may experience some redness, bruising or crusting after being treated that will quickly subside within about one week.

As for cost, supposedly because the pico-lasers require less treatments it should be similar, but if you read this PICO-LASER TREATMENT  story  you will appreciate what is actually involved in the whole process.

I would guess that most tattoo removals here will cost from at least $1000 for just a quite small one.

Why permanently graffiti a perfectly good body?

Well I did say I wasn't watching closely 😄  I thought they said it was painless though.  The removal in your photo looks very successful.

I hate to say it, but my daughter has a number of tats..........I did give her a bit of advice though......I told her never to get a pic of a dalmation on her boob...........'cause 30 years down the road it will look like a giraffe......

I don't think you got what I meant. A person with tatts is not degrading themselves, your comment calling them cheap is. An object can be cheap to buy but  a person is not cheap. I thought about it and no they are not degrading themselves, each to their own

[freshwater-2]

Jos Garage  did not say that women with tattoos were cheap.  He said to him that they looked cheap.

I am a woman, and I agree, and I also think they look butch and unfeminine.

This thread is open to all thoughts and comments on the subject.

Tell me Joz.... after you spoke with one of these cheap scarred savages, did they also SOUND like a cheap scarred savage?

Sheesh.... talk about judging a book by its cover..


...................A tattoo is personal. It doesnt affect anyone else. If it bothers you, then its you who has the problem!

I have two tats....  love them both.
I must be a cheap scarred savage.
