schrickvr6 - MemberI think George Clooney has a lot to answer for with regards to the rise of bad tribal.
He will cry like a baby if he gets his "tribal" tattoos done the traditional ways using bamboo "needle". 😆
@ mr thecat...I've just been natural me and niches have formed around...much like the crappy little tongueting bit of grit in an oyster that finally becomes a pearl.
at dd you could lick my tats....but the cover an awful lot of me and you would get calloused on the tongue before you wven got near my fun bits...:-D
I don't doubt that many tattooed people are in some way making a statement to others, or showing off. But so do we all, some drive a car that tells people they have money/like the 'finer things'/are a 'driver'. A poster here recently stated he wore 'proper' hats, now thats not to keep his head warm, its to demonstrate his style to others. Its his prerogative and there is nothing wrong with it. Why do some here then get so incensed when the tattooed do it?
I do have a tattoo from years ago, its nothing special and I wouldn't have it now but I dont [i]regret[/i] it, if it's the worst mistake I ever make in life i'll have no worries.
That bloke in the video Cougar posted is going to give someone the fright of there life if he goes out in the rain though.
And by the way no offence to the hat wearer, just an example that sprang to mind, I have been known to wear a hat myself.
Oh and roger...you are sooooo off my christmas card list and I shall ask the evil krampus to poo down your chimney
I met a chap the other day, plenty of new tats but only four teeth left. In the heirachy of spending cash on your body I can't help but feel he'd be better off starting at the dentist...

Crikey
Still, worth a go eh?
Can't believe this thread is still rumbling on. Anyone said "each to their own" yet?

Even moreso now there's a challenge.
*gets felt tip pen and draws some extra wiggly tattoos on my gentleman's region.* .......has anyone ever noticed how your scrotum and elbow are made of the same looking skin.....its like built in leather patches on a nice tweed jacket
come n get me big boy xx
Funnily enough I'm a middle aged? man, is 53 middle aged or well on the way to old git?
Anyway, just thinking about getting a tatt on my calf, my first, thought of a design I'd like, no special significance, but I think it'll look good.
This thread made me pause, just for a minute, but then thought WTF I want it, so booked in. I can't wait to upset the tatt haters on here, you'll obviously be so busy being disgusted/throwing up that I'll be able to leave you in the dust 😀
Go for it Tim, who cares what people think. It's for you.
I've not got any tats because I always change my mind about what I want. I'd like to know how it feels though. I got a piercing for this reason. It hurts 🙂
Just jam a needle into your leg a few thousand times 🙂
@jambourgie, that's what I felt, never really bothered about what people think.
Apparently, it's all about the pain, the art and the jewelery are just reminders 😆
come n get me big boy xx
🙁
There's a [i]little[/i] something we need to have a chat about Taz.
come n get me big girl ( you could always tuck little DD away and have a Munt)....Im easy 😀
Get a room you two. Or matching leg tattoos or something.
I grew up in a place where tribal tattoos (real head hunters) can often be seen on a Sunday vegetable markets
Oh, you're from Norfolk as well?

surely that's six fingers and flippers for feet?
While searching for pics of knee tattoos, this made me chuckle:

Nah, that's the Isle of Wight. They even let gingers out in the daylight over there, apparently.
😉
So rumour has it.
The daywalkers roam free... 😉
Jambourgie I'd say its a nice if odd sensation. Some parts feel like a light scratching/tickle (back of calf was like this) but others were pretty painful such as the bits near my ankle and nearing the knee/ditch. I prefer the lines to the colour being packed in as they go over the same area a few times and it gets pretty irritated! Healing feels like sunburn for around a day if that.
It's pretty addictive 🙂 my left shin/calf is almost covered now and I'm booked in to start a sleeve in June which I'm looking forward to! Getting it done by a guy called Robert Ashby who does brilliant black and grey work. I have the "fun" tats on my legs and the arms will be the serious stuff 😛
permanent bodily disfiguring is "fun"?
Apparently so.
And many people would ask the same question about riding bikes.
permanent bodily disfiguring is "fun"?
Apparently so. I find http://www.bme.com completely fascinating in a slightly disturbing way. It's very addictive, but not for the feint hearted.

Nope, that's Lincolnshire. Norfolk is more a random body layout generator.

Most do not consider it disfiguring, obviously.
Footflaps - I opened up the home page, some of the subjects scared me without even looking what they were about! Look at some of the titles under the 'hard' section! !!

Yep, takes it to a whole new level.....

I think there is a line you shouldn't cross. Face tattoos are a nono.
Ginger beard looks like he will eat you.
Emo kid will live with his mum until he's 60 but on closer inspection they could be felt tip pen.
permanent bodily disfiguring is "fun"?
I think it's an endorphin thing; there's a bit of a rush attached, kinda like doing a sudden drop-off. Which is why you get some people have more and more tats done, as they get sort of addicted to the pain/pleasure aspect of it.
Those are a minority, though, as are those who go for the more extreme body mods. I really don't like piercings all that much, especially facial, and that goes for tats, come to that.
I've got seven tats, and only the four on my arms are really visible, the one on my leg is just about level with the top of my sock, and as it's a line of Ogham script, nobody ever notices it. It's a bike-specific thing, though.
I was looking at the two ravens I've got laid out for my next one, and I think I'll have it done as a Birthday present to myself, as it's a large, significant number, and the two ravens have a very specific meaning, representing Hugin and Munin, Odin's messengers.
The names mean 'Thought' and 'Memory', for those who I've lost, and remember and think about.
Ginger beard is awesome but glad it's not me.
Mine is only little but I found it really pretty pleasant, felt a lot like a deep tissue massage. Almost dozed off in the chair which apparently is Not Done, she thought I'd fainted. Ended up knocking all the scabs off a week later at a gig which was considerably less pleasant.
I'm off to apply for a job with Shibboleth...

You could call it disfiguration but then so is getting hit in the face by a hammer.
I got my tattoos on a whim knowing that I wouldn't always have the cash. Yes they are closely associated with romantic escapades and memories. I love my tattoos but there was a time that I didn't but then dealing with that was all part of having strange doodles on my body. If I'm with my family or old people I cover them up.

Now she's a wild child
I got my first tatts when I was young and right into the punk of the early 80s.Guess it was a Fark you I dont give a damn coz I'm proud of what I am attitude going on. I have a frog tattoo on my calf plus a few more here and there over the years and still have the same view about it.
This tattoo is like this thread

Then every time this subject flares up, like a outbreak of herpes, we can refer back to the poll and shut the thread down straight away.
I wish you could sort out a herpes outbreak by referring to an online poll..
I've had no jiggy for four days and clawed myself raw 🙁
Heard this on the way in to work today and thought of this thread
