[Closed] Stop with the leg tattoos already

This type of thing you mean.................(not mine) 😯

Who cares?

It tells you that they are an interesting and unique individual with a killer personality. Funnily on a recent masterchef the heavily tattood contestant had to wear a vest. Weird that.

Good that, but horrible at the same time.
No I mean bar codes and M&M tattoos.

[i]Other[/i] people's decorations spoiled [i]your[/i] day?

1. Seriously, get over yourself
2. Stop worrying about it, you'll have a heart attack

'hey an Ironman finisher, which one did you do?'

'Er well it was one of the Ironman (trademark) ones'

'ah so you haven't done an ironman'

Other people's decorations spoiled your day?

Yes I was violently sick

The bar codes are something to do with Soylent Green I think

Would they not let him cook topless?

Get a grip dude... it's their body and life. Nothing to do with you.

And they put them on the backs of their legs for what reason?

Because they want to.

So they don't have to see them, duh. 😉

Would they not let him cook topless?

Her. She was quite nice but I didn't understand the significance of the two large swallows-tats on each shoulder.

Ha Ha... And every attractive woman looks that good just for you. get back under your bridge.

Freudian slip if I ever so one.

Why does there alaways have to be a reason or significance to a tattoo. as a fully initiated member of the tattoo club I have many that have no meaning and are just pretty pictures.

What's an M&M tattoo?

No worries, I googled it:

If tattoos on the backs of other people's calves bothers you, you could always try riding faster so you're in front of them. 😉

I hate it when people put the word 'already' on the end of a sentence..

If the tats on the backs of calves upset you - thank you're lucky stars they kept the shorts on

Just think what [i]could[/i] result when saying to the tattooist "I want your name on my buttock"...

M&Ms? Good grief.

Whilst I don't suffer the same nausea when confronted by tattoos as the OP I do think they are best suited to squadies and builders.

I have a particular dislike of those showing above the trouser waistline which suggest something growing out of the wearer's arse.

Saw a bloke at my son's school a few weeks back (wearing shorts, natch) with tattoos of his (I presume) children's faces on his calfs. I had to restrain my laughter. They look so utterly [i]crap[/i].
10 years time : "Dad, why did you get that horrible baby picture of me badly tattooed on your leg?"

I knew a young lady once, who had what can only be described as a full blown rose garden, tattooed ALL over her back. As in, from very base of spine, spanning width of back, and up to shoulder blades.

It was a bit of a surprise at the time, as she'd failed to mention it until the moment of discovery*.

*Yes.

It tells you that they are an interesting and unique individual with a killer personality.

Usually it signifies they work in HR/accounts/sales but are desperate to feel like an individual who is different from every other John who works in HR/accounts/sales.
It's like a comedy tie but more expensive and permanent.

[i]I knew a young lady once...[/i]

Was her name Cheryl?

So why do they put their "pretty pictures" on their backs, ar5es, calves, where they can't see them to appreciate them, but I can ?

(and I think they all look stupid)

🙄 "I have a job that will never pay taxes" - lots of people at my work have visible tattoos, not everyone's a close minded office simpleton you know 🙂

From a medical, biomechanical, and common sense point of view, this is just a silly idea...
Walking would be a wibbly wobbly chore..

DrP

getting the spring changed if you put on weight would be a right pain too.

oooh stwers being all condescending and judgemental, must be a monday

An air shock would be much more practical.....

^ unless you only have one leg and then you can use it like a pogo stick!

An air shock would be much more practical.....

I think we've evolved the most practical solution already 😉

DrP

top shock bolt might be useful
bottom connection looks a bit flaky too
whomever got that done should get the eraser out, and fix that

I saw a middle aged chap about a month ago, happily sauntering down the road with some short shorts on. There was sleet blowing sideways at him. He had two/three freshly inked tats on his thighs and a calf. You could tell they were fresh as there was still a bit of red around the designs. The rest of his goose bump covered skin on show was a livid shade of blue.

I don't really care about tattoos, I get it it's a personal thing. What I don't understand is the need to show them to everyone else, despite inclement climatic conditions, to show [i]just[/i] how individual you are*

*i know fresh tats need to be covered in cling film at first to avoid risk of infection, but don't think you are medically advised to leave them totally exposed, are you? So it is just showing them off right?

No but trousers can chafe and irritate a fresh tattoo which feels a bit like sunburn so shorts are preferable. Plus the advice was to put bepanthen on so its better not getting that greasy mess all over your trousers.

My mate is half way through getting an ankle to neck "Tree of Life" tat. Now he wears shoes with no socks and the trousers rolled up all the time. It looks awful, I feel sorry for him as he is clearly seeking validation from everyone.

Saw someone in Edniburgh recently who had a fried egg on toast tattoo, on his [b]forehead[/b] 😯 . He was not the kind of guy you would laugh at or challenge over it IYKWIM!

D'you get cross about what colour their hair is, or the type of clothes someone is wearing as well?

Odd thing to be upset about

I quite like my leg tattoo. It is on [i]my[/i] leg, so I tend to regard other people getting worked up about it as borderline absurd.

🙂

Odd thing to be upset about

Not really and it's nothing new. There is a symbiotic relationship between non-conformist behaviour and people irked by said non conformism. If no one gave a ****, it would defeat the whole point of such things eg garish tattoos, punk dress etc etc.
