OUCH!!!

That just looks painful as heck!

For me it is a way to display art which I have been a fan of since I was young, also it is a form of self expression. One of the things about tattooing that has kept me coming back is I think of it almost as a form of therapy. It probably sounds weird to some especially someone who has not gone through the process. I find it to be a great way to relieve tension. I also remember certain periods of my life through the work that I had done at those times. Whether to memorialize a loved one or a signifigant period of time or to display a fascination such as art, wildlife or a certain culture it becomes almost a lifestyle for some.

It seems to me to be nothing but a way of identifying one'sself with the lowest common denominator. A way to fit in with total slimeballs. I can hardly believe how many of the folks here have tats. Yuck! I'm not making fun either - Just expressing my disgust!

Or separating ourselves from the holier than thou slimeballs.

Ok, my post was not meant to start the "mud-slinging". I myself have no tattoo's or piercings and have no plans of getting any. I'm a bit to conservative for that form of experssion.

My dad had several tats that he got when he served in the Air Force and the Navy during WWII and Korea. BMIC, I don't appreciate you referring to our veterans who served to protect our county slimeballs.

I've wanted a tat, but couldn't decide on something that wouldn't look stupid when I'm 50. I finally decided on chinesse characters. I want it on my middle of my back, so it can be seen if I want it too. My husband would like one, but know he's scared due to hep. My sister finally got one on her ankle (a rose).

I can see your point, and okay maybe make a distinction for them. I can see how that could be a little different ... I guess I'm a little undecided about military cases. But in general I'm still disgusted.

Are those here that are tattooed, pierced as well? Or do you just have a thing for tattoos?

A friend of mine saw a vibrating tongue ring.

Good! Then my work here on Earth is done!



mstubble-Mr.Naturals in Williamsport is VERY clean. Hubby wouldn't get Hep from Jarrod.And he's an excellent artist.fyi

Just my ears,twice.I think that alot of the tatts are Art.And once you get one, you'll get another.Like I said,I'm gettin the itch.

Ears only and I rarely wear them. But I see nothing wrong with it just another form of expression.

I must be a tad to old-fashioned, I still believe earings are for those of the female gender.

I've got one ear pierced and one piercing "somewhere else"...

It would be hard if not almost impossible to get hep from any reputably shop. All needles are one time use only and the artist should make a point of opening the package in front of you so you can see. Everything else is steralized in an autoclave after every use.

When I was a teenager, the thing to do was to have an uneven number of piercings in your ears. I had both ears done, but got an extra on one side to be cool. Apparently someone set out to discredit the coolness because next thing you know, everyone says you're gay if you wear it like that.

I still have people ask me if I'm a lesbian because I have two holes in one ear and only one in the other. Jeez, grow up already.

No tats yet, but I'm thinking of getting BMIC tattooed on my butt cheek.

Do tell.

I don't care what anyone else thinks of my tatts. They are for me.

ditto

I'll never tell !!!!

Well that means you have a Prince Albert then.

Thank you for not taking it too seriously! Just because I am disgusted doesn't mean it's the end of the world. It's nice to see someone who doesn't go ballistic every time I express an unpopular opinion!

I have each ear pierced three times. If I could find my bellybutton, I'd get it pierced My hubby used to have his ear pierced, but didn't like to wear it to work, so it closed up.

I've tried telling him that, but he's still leary.



Very patriotic of you to be disgusted by military members who have tats. I work for the military and many have tats, as well as the goverment civilians and contractors. You'd never know most have tats just by looking at them unless you actually see their tats. Just because one has a tat does not make them slime. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

It is the way you express your opinion.
You basically lumped all tattooed people into one group-slimeballs.

I have my ears pierced...twice in each. No tatts tho

Can you all clear up a point of confusion. When I was growing up, for a man to have the left ear pierced was "cool" but the right ear meant they were gay. Yet I was recently told that that's no longer the case locally - that an american teenaged boy who gets both ears pirced is not what I would think by the old rules - a cool queer, just cool.

Is he telling me the truth, or is the young man with both ears pierced actually gay and just trying to cover it up?

That's the way B is. He lumps together all the people that live in the city in one catagory too...

I like boys.

Edit: And Naomi

It is now common practice for straight males to pierce both ears.

I'm getting "Heather" tattooed on my right butt cheek

Having one's ear, no matter which, does not indicate one's sexual preference. I know several gay men who don't have either ear pierced. It is very common for straight men to have both ears pierced.

My son has both ears pierced and he definitely isn't gay!

Also has a very tasteful tattoo on his left bicep, and is thinking of getting another one.

And I'm getting a charm that says Naomi to hang off my nipple ring.









Just kidding. No nips pierced here. Ouch.

I agree...ouch!!!


Any guys with pierced nips out there?

I might be willing to get a henna tattoo that says "Heather". Where should I place it?

Where are you from, Borneo?

Very funny. This holds true for the tri-state area. Been this way for at least 15 years.

so let me try to understand your logic here B-
if someone has a tat that puts them in the same class as slimeballs?
What type of a person are you classifying as a slimeball?
I'm gotta say, sounds to me like you are judging a book by it's cover, not very Christian-like at all

Not that I've seen. Even in the rural areas? I rather doubt it.

lol I remember that!
I have 2 holes in my left ear and 5 in my right ear. I also have my tongue pierced. I'm thinking about getting my nose pierced as well but still undecided.

You don't get out much do you? Yes even rural areas.

I've thought about getting my nose pierced, but I'm afraid it would make me sneeze! (I'm serious!)

I was thinking about getting a Prince Albert...

We need a "barfy" smilie.

Welcome to white trash city... err county.... err tri-state area!

I'm still not convinced, really.

OUCH !!!! No Prince Albert here !!!

A what?

I've also heard them called a "Royal Crown"

It's a piercing of the male sexual organ, Snoop. At the tip.

Google Prince Albert (or Prince Albert piercing) from home. Wikipedia actually has a photo of it. Not that I looked at it or anything...

edit:
whoops sorry yeoman, didn't realize you already made reference to the PA.

Who the $#@% would volunteer for that?????

It hurt just to read it!

Hey,did you guys know that Mr.Rogers was a navy seal and had alot of tatts on both arms? That's why he always wore long sleeves. kewl!

Not true - urban legend.
