Now stop fucking [threadshitting](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=14435272#post14435272) [about](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=11856556#post11856556) [it](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=13968148#post13968148). I’m _very_ glad that first was considered a warnable offense. Also, posts like [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6412595#post6412595) do nothing to highlight the strength of your character: > [@Tattooes you can't see](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tattooes-you-cant-see/587185/20): > > Many moons ago, I was getting amorous with a young lady and when I got her peeled down to bare skin, I found a tattoo. I got up, got dressed and got out. Really classy. You don’t seem to have grasped that there are key differences between getting a tattoo and [self-harm](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7147924&postcount=50). Seriously, did you even fucking read the link you linked to??? > [@www.focusas.com/SelfInjury.html:](#): > > It’s not self-injury if the primary purpose is body decoration (e.g., body piercing, tattooing) Since you apparently didn’t read it and don’t grok the concept, let me spell it out very slowly: 1. Somebody else is operating the tattoo needle. 2. Self-harm is not meant to be seen, showed-off, or shared by anybody else. 3. Self-harm comes from a dangerous pathological mindset of externalizing internal pain. 4. **Self-harm is not fucking body art.** The fact that both “procedures” are permanent is their only similarity, and that is not relevant. If you think there is literally no difference between [someone who gets a tattoo](http://i.imgur.com/VRt0E.jpg) and someone who mutilates their own flesh **TRIGGER WARNING, LINK IS NOT WORK SAFE/NOT MIND-SAFE, THIS IS A PICTURE OF SOMEONE MUTILATING THEIR OWN FLESH** : [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](http://i.imgur.com/NznIc) .jpgyou are a seriously fucking warped individual. You’re doing people who commit self-harm a \*\*massive, disgusting disservice \*\*by demonstrating the ignorant, wrongly-held view that slicing one’s arms out of psychological agony is no different from going out and getting a tattoo. :rolleyes: Now, I don’t have any tattoos, because I’ve never found a design I like well enough to look at every day for the rest of my life. But I respect the bodily autonomy of others enough not to shit on their choice to get one. It is your right to dislike the body mod subculture for whatever reason, or even no reason at all. **I’m not saying you have to like tattoos.** But I’m going to call you out on your shitty reasoning and your shitty threadshits.

She’s right, though. Not like it will make a difference to Clothahump. He does not listen to criticism. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally Posted by Clothahump > Many moons ago, I was getting amorous with a young lady and when I got her peeled down to bare skin, I found a tattoo. I got up, got dressed and got out. If this is true, then it appears that a tattoo will act as an asshole repellant. I advise every young lady out there to get a tattoo, stat! This will help immunize you against the awful possibility of going to bed with a jerk. ---

I just crack up at the idea of getting up with a naked woman in your arms, ditching her, and getting dressed and walking out. Did he even explain to her? Did he say, “I’m sorry, but tattoos are really unattractive and I can’t get it up for you because of that?” Or just walk out in silence? ---

Geeze, I’d think that worst-case is that when you finish, you aim at the tattoo and try to cover it up. Or have I watched too much porn? ---

I have to admit I’m not much for tattoos either. But if I had already reached the point where we were naked, it wouldn’t be an issue. Worse case scenario, I’d turn off the lights rather than leave. ---

If I’m about to have sexytime with a young lady, I could discover a tattoo on her that’s a realistic depiction of her killing me after sex, and I’m pretty sure I’d still going ahead with the boinking. ---

The search function is not letting me search his posts for the word “gay” since it’s 3 letters but I am certain that that was the gist of what he had posted.

I would like to point out, since there are people here who think I throw my opinions about tattoos around willy-nilly, that I have not been in that thread and I probably won’t go into it - the OP wants a tattoo, he’s asking for advice on which one to get - he’s not asking me for my opinion that tattoos are stupid and he shouldn’t get any, so I haven’t offered it. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-dont-like-tattoos-clothahump-we-get-it/602270.md?page=2)
