Good to see a bump, I guess.. but is this really where we were in 2003? No one challenged the ridiculousness of this first statement? I have a hard time having a conversation when someone begins it like that.. even seven years ago. :no:

Also.. I miss Sultana. :(

Yeah, Sultana was cool.

I guess I just dislike the lemming effect. You know, those little animals that follow the trendsetting leaders, even when the leaders run off the cliff.:eek:

Everybody's getting a tattoo, so I should get one, and really, so should you, and well, we wouldn't want to feel left out, so we should all get one. Anybody who doesn't have a tattoo is just so...:shakehead:
Well, ten or twelve years ago women with tattoos were on the edge. New. Exciting. Boldly going... Now?? Just part of the herd.
And I don't like herdthink.
I read that tattoo parlors do their best business right after the bars close. I wonder if that is true.

one of my girlfriends was a (quite famous) tattoo artist and yes its true but a good artist and shop never tats when someone has alcohol motivation. Their reputation is at stake. Her art work travels around and people talk about it wherever it travels and if they say they were dead ass drunk when they got it and regret it, no one goes to her or the shop for a tat.

Tat shops are no longer (or shouldnt be) seedy hole in the walls with no licensures. They take great pride in their reps for cleanliness and ethics as well as their artwork.

this is really a non-issue, there are so few reasonable places for people to get tattoos, your arms, your back and your legs are really all you have available, your chest/frontside isn't really an option for everyone unless those people happen to be comfortable with that aspect of their body (not a lot of people are) and it varies greatly based on gender.

I once wanted to get the word "tramp" in rubber stamp-esque font on my lower back. I wanted to be ironic, but then I remembered I wasn't a hipster.

Young ZS would have giggled.
Mom ZS would have hidden it from her teenage children.
Old Alzheimery ZS would have giggled.

Full circle or whatever.

I have tatts. I want more. They are original and are given a lot of thought. I am currently giving my next one a lot of thought.

i can wrap myself around this...

Okay, so what's the male equiv of a tramp stamp?

Tribal tattoo around the upper arm?

Or barbed wire, yes.

I think some are ok, some woman are not over done with them. Say if they have one that has a meaning to them for some reason. I dont really like girls with tattoos everywere, there arms, legs.

Do people still get that barbed wire upper arm tat?

Ouch.

Appearances are judged by their intrinsic value.

If someone's appearance convinces you they are a serial killer, you will not sleep with them because, damn, you could get stabbed. If you think that guy over there looks like a CEO, you don't want to piss him off because he might be hiring you someday. If a woman looks and dresses like a supermodel, well, she's probably not a prostitute. People judge because it's useful, not because it's right.

A girl can choose to do whatever she wants with her body, but whatever she does has direct effects on her attraction level. If she snacks a lot and does not exercise, no one has any right to judge her; but they do. As her weight changes, the overall volume of men who find her attractive diminishes.

I do not find tattoos attractive, thus even if I'm the only man in the world who decides not date her because she has decided to get a tat, she has made a conscious decision to limit her potential suitors. Her division will prove wise only if, for the rest of her life, she never finds a single suitable tat-hating man.

You say a woman should be the only person deciding if she should have an abortion?

If you believe in ownership values, your logic does not follow. If I wrote the first half of an essay, then you wrote the last half and printed it, would society agree you should get full ownership and copyright?

Old gray-haired guys debate this because it is a serious matter which has many exceptions and case studies which are fully convincing from each perspective.

And you would be served an assault charge. In movies, bad guys often get floored because the good guy easily goads them into striking first. This is because civilized people respond on a higher level than their adversary. If they insult your wife, you tell them they have made a brash error and berate them for their obvious lack of intelligence and social wits. If they throw a punch, then you throw a nuke.

If I was across the room and saw a guy attack someone else, I'd take out his knees, then put them into a choke/lock until the situation can be sorted out.

Also, if your dog was a mixture of breeds, and I called it a "mutt" in front of you, would you attack me?

Me too. I think I remember this thread but apparently I never replied.

This is the same with men and women for me. I like tattoos that are well done and work with the person's anatomy. Those are the superficial requirements at least. In the end the concept behind the tattoo will always be important. I've seen a lot of people with tattoos I hate, and I've seen a few that I absolutely adore.

I myself have two tattoos and will probably get more. One of which is a large piece that covers most of my spine. People give me a hard time about having a tramp stamp until they realize that the bottom part that you can sometimes see above my jeans is connected to the top which is visible above my collar. If someone thinks I'm unattractive because if my ink or piercings, for that matter, then I probably don't want to have anything to do with him or her anyway.

I've got Sultana's phone number but I can't call her from here.

Im not a fan of tattoos but i dont hate on em either.

I have debated getting a tattoo. It would be a hebrew phrase on the left side of my ribcage that says "if i am not for myself who would be for me" but I am not sure because i am afraid about regretting it.

I actually know a girl with tramp stamp of a postage stamp. Not good.

That is one of my favorite quotes, said by Hillel. But the rest is equally important and forgotten by people more, But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?

I have to agree with most not big on tats. Just not my thing. But if its yours go for it!!!

"Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bull's-eye."
—Jeremy Grey, as played by Vince Vaughn, from the film Wedding Crashers.

I like tattoos. It's body art to me. But like many of the arts, there is some really bad work out there. It's a matter of taste.

I used to know a guy, had "Rub" tatooed on his penis. When you followed that instruction, it expanded to "Eat at Ruben's Delicatessen on 52nd Street." :rolleyes:

ka -- ching!

I find them sexy but at the same time, not really something I want on my wife.

The tramp stamp across the back of a co-worker always brings a smile to my face when I see it by accident because of the times I have seen it while balls deep in her lucious body. She loves both vag and anal while doggy, which puts that hot little collection of flowers right in my face while I rock it to her tight ass.
