Yeah, because when I have grandkids, the only thing on my mind is going to be impressing them with my physical beauty
:rolleyes:
Let’s suffice it to say that opinions about tattoos are as varied as the people who have them, but that doesn’t change the fact that Muad’dib was being a total fuckwit to fizzlestothetop in her thread which had NOTHING to do about opinions on tattoos. She was seeking advice and anecdotes on experiences from those who had tattoos, and he not-so-graciously came in and shit all over her thread. Not cool, and if anything, I’d say that kind of behavior is skankier than any chick with a tattoo.
You know, evidently I’ve missed something. I thought that facial skin and chest skin and (to a lesser extent) butt skin sagged. Evidently there’s some vast conspiracy to hide all the shoulder skin that sags horribly, because I don’t recall ever seeing it.
Ditto on the offensive nature of “retarded”, Mockingbird. I wasn’t going to raise it in this thread because there’s enough bullshit without getting into the inherent idiocy of “Oh, that’s so retarded”.
BTW, Diogenes, since you prefer the natural look, I’m sure the person of your choosing never shaves or showers or uses modern cleansing products. Because to use any of those would, of course, be something less than natural.
BTW, Muad’Dib, an apology of some sort for telling fizzy she looks skanky (given that you’ve seen, of all there si to see of her, part of her right shoulder area) might be in order at some point in the future should you actually have the balls to respond to this thread. Regardless of whether you think she looks it or not, it was extremely uncalled-for in the original thread (along with much of the rest of what you had to say) and it’s bullshit here as well.
I personally don’t like them, not on me and not on my man but that wouldn’t deter me from meeting a guy unless he has tons of them like previously described when you can’t tell if he has a shirt on. I don’t however, judge people based on my preference. One of our board members has a beautiful one on her chest she stayed at my house at for a dopefest it was neat to see close up. We are definately different people but she is a great person and I would never judge her based on that.
I see people all the time around here with strange piercings and such and I am intrigued by them. I won’t hesitate to ask them about it because I am curious and I am big wuss about that kind of stuff. Hell, I wont even get a flu shot let alone some stranger mark up my body. I had entertained it when I was younger though.
My sis-in-law has her belly button pierced and a tattoo of Tweety on her ankle. She is a mother of two, drives a Passat, wears very stylish clothes, is a leader in business. She’s not a skanky ho by any means. She wasn’t abused and was not a cutter.
It’s nice to have an opinion about things but to to be so judgemental about such a stupid issue that does not affect you in the least really screams to the people on this bored that you are one colossal jackass.
I can easily get you the phone number to Focus on the Family if you’d like. I live about five minutes from there, they may need some help.
I like small tattoos. I tend not to like the big black and purple ones that look like bruises unless you really focus on them. It’s strictly a matter of aesthetics and personal tastes, I can’t imagine drawing conclusions about the skankiness or the honess of the wearer from them.
I have 10 piercings, 3 on each ear lobe, 1 cartilege upper left ear, both nipples and now my belly button. NO tattoos…yet.
With the exception of my ears, my body jewelry is not usually visible to the public. You see, I didn’t do them for anyone but myself.
My husband thinks the nipple rings are sexy as hell. I like it that he likes it.
I grew up poor but not abused. I am not a cutter. I am intelligent and modestly dressed. I am also a professional and well respected in my field (nursing). My children are well adjusted and think I am beautiful. I have been married for 29 years.
I have never been accused of being skanky.
But enough about me, quite simply YOU suck. Shame on you for popping into Fizz’s thread to repeatedly tell her how much of a skanky ass ho you think she is. I don’t recall that she asked you. If tattoos are not to your taste, fine–no one is making you or your girlfriend (that is if you have one) get inked.
Perhaps you could change the title of this thread to “I think tattoos look skanky.” It is ok for you to say that. That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
It is not ok for you to categorize all women with tattoos as skanky ho’s. Can you see the difference there?
I’m getting a tattoo. Have wanted one for a long time - but dithered on what i wanted.
I finally decided. I’m getting my clan crest tattooed on my arm. It’s partly for me, and partly for my late father - he was cremated with a pin of the same crest.
You might think I’m skanky, but to be honest, no, I really TRULY don’t give a fucking shit what anyone, other than me, thinks of me. If I had, I would have killed myself in highschool. I was about the most unpopular person around. And now? Well, I’m pretty happy with myself. As for everyone else? Pfft.
I havent read half the messages in this thread, but I have read the O/P and this reply is a direct responce to that, ok YOU dont like tattoos on girls, thats fine, there probably many like you, many not, but for gods sake get over it. Seriously if you judge all women who have tattoos as being cheap skanky ho’s, to use your words, you are seriously going to miss out on a lot of a lovely people.
Anyway, look at half the famous good looking people out there, theyve got tattoos, wouldnt exactly call a whole load of em skanky ho’s. And I would be very suprised if you turned down any one of those women just because of a tattoo…
Get over it already.
Say what you want about me (both of my tats are visible in the pic linked in my sig), but fuck you for saying my mom looks like a skank. The Dragon in that picture is her third, and she worked on the design for over a year before getting it inked. It has immense personal significance. Oh yeah, she works in a library, not on a street corner.
I’d jump in and start tearing Muad’dib a new one but it seems like most of the other tattooed and tattoo appreciative posters here have done a good job of that.
When I got mine it took me 8 years from deciding I wanted one to getting it done… yes 8 years. Of course I was 11 when I decided I wanted one and as far as I know I am the first one in my family to have gotten one. I knew the sort of tattoo I wanted and it took me a few years of searching before I found the design I have and love, I also have 2 other designs that I am considering getting done. One most likely for certain and as I am pregnant right now it will probably be modified to include the name of my child.
I am amazed at being considered a skanky ho, especially since I have encountered a number of such women that deserve the label more and have no tattoo’s. Just because someone gets something done does not immediately define them as someone else. In fact I find if the tattoo is well thought out it is rather nice, and as long as it means something to the bearer… well that is important.
I could go on but this whole thing just makes me shake my head. If you don’t like it… you don’t like it. That doesn’t mean that nearly nobody does (in fact if you took a sample of the people I know I suspect you’d get similar numbers in the opposite direction… and I have a good 100 people I could ask. A number of which already have tattoos, are getting tattoos, are dating people with tattoos even if they don’t have them themseves etc…)
Maybe it would be better if you had a bigger sampling for this opinion? Because that’s all it is. An opinion. And I fear if you see all women with tattoos as skanky ho’s well your missing out on knowing a lot of wonderful people.
Well, I can’t say I agree with the OP but I do think there are some tatoos that show how much of a moron the tatooee is. For example: had a guy in my Nat’l Guard unit that had nude (and rather skanky as they were, um, ‘showing their wares’ so to speak) women tatooed up and down both arms. He had small children and I always wondered how he explained his body art to them–or maybe he was planning on using the tatoos as illustrations during ‘the talk’ re: reproduction, I dunno. Anyway, I don’t think it’s the fact that you have a tatoo that makes you an idiot or rebel or whatever: it’s WHAT you have a tatoo of that does that. Just my .02 anyway…
My tattoo is several inches long and on my back. I dress very conservatively and neatly - none of those belly-baring, low-rise outfits for me. Nobody at work knows I have a tattoo, and very few people that I know socially are aware of it.
That’s because I didn’t get it for anyone else, despite the implications in some posts above. I got it for me. When I am naked and confronting myself in the mirror, it reminds me every day: You are a fighter and you have the power to put your fears behind you. (It doesn’t literally say that. It’s a golden and crimson koi. But that’s what it means to me.)
My tattoo is like my “pretty pink flower”: reserved for myself, people I am very close to, and medical professionals. And I resent your judgment upon it as much as I would resent a judgment upon any other part of my body, whether I was born with that part or not.
I understand your point of view. I have seen some very skanky girls who also had tattoos. But I don’t understand how you can classify every girl with any tattoo as looking like a skank.
I have a four inch dolphin on my right shoulderblade. I got it the day I turned eighteen to honor my grandfather who had nicknamed me Flipper as a small child.
I work for one of the biggest Visa/Mastercard issuers in the US as a senior fraud analyst.
No one knows about my ink unless I show them.
Like a lot of people have mentioned, you’re entitled to your opinions and have the right to express them. However, barging into a thread to piss all over it and provide cites that give your argument less support than a splintery toothpick…bad form.
Well, not that I’m stalking the guy, but Muad’Dib’s been on the board today and posting. So maybe, rather than take the heat this has generated, he’s decided to disappear.
Got the balls to tell my fiancee she looks like a skank, but not quite enough to show his face again after that.
Put me down as another who thinks that tattoos can be very attractive on women. Clearly, I’m not among the “many, many guys” that MD asked. Some tattoos are ugly. Some, including the one featured in the thread that MD shat on, are really nice. As others have pointed out, there’s nothing wrong with disliking tattoos. To spoil a conversation by repeatedly pointing that out when it serves no constructive purpose is a different story.
To the OP: There’s no need for you to personally approve of every decision made by others. This one doesn’t concern you. Personally, I liked the punk look, though I was too old to participate. I don’t like the hip-hop look. So what? Those hip-hop kids aren’t dressing like that to impress me. I wear comfortable, fashion-neutral clothes, and I keep my tattoos covered except on rare occasions when I choose to display them. What you think of them is unimportant and irrelevant. This pit thread is perfectly within your rights–you dislike something, and you rant about it. Your remarks in the other thread were rude, much more offensive than the average tattoo.
Yep, tattoos are guaranteed to make you look up to 200% as classy and sophisticated! Impress your boss and score with members of the opposite gender today - get a tattoo. They sure make you look like a really well-rounded individual.
