what do you think about tattoos or body peircings?
337936
I like them, have several tattoos and piercings.  I like it when tattoos tell the story of a life, not just ass antlers or tribal arm bands.  I've seen tattoos be very therapeutic, and life-changing in a positive way for people.  I don't think it's for everyone, or should be.  I like tattoos more than pircings, but that's just personal taste.

I guess the more pressing question is why on earth do you want a tattoo for your lower back? I don't understand the point of getting a tattoo in a place where you'll never ever see it. I can understand getting a tattoo of a rose on your boob that you can look down at and go "ooh, there's a rose on my boob", but a tattoo in the small of your back seems like far too much pain (not to mention expense) for something you'll never get any personal satisfaction from.

Duel with swords, not guns. Honor could still be satisfied, but fewer deaths would result. And the duellers could wear their scars with pride. Beats a tattoo. Get a REAL piercing!

its not that bad ive had both, but dont not under any circumstances do it your self, you could get a really bad infection, go to a tatoo parlor to get it done. besides the needles they use a different, theyre hollow so it cuts a plug of skin out  and it heals all the way around, other needles just make a dull hole and it wont heal.

Tell them ur just keeping it real after all you are a man...and in the future have Thumper poss get his fav whatever it may be that would have him grab his gold tattooed near him looking at his erotic thought...lol

I think that getting your belly button is more bearable, maybe just because its something you "want" to do and you are scared when you are getting a needle in your mouth so i think that getting poked with a needle in my mouth is way worse, plus you get a reward after you get your belybutton pierced, you have a belly ring and you just have a sore mouth after getting a filling........oh and i think peircings are f'in hot, i have 7...hell yeah

A tat that's well done can be really hot. \nBut remember they are permanent.\nI have several, and the only problem is they fade over time. \nSo choose wisely, and keep yourself in shape girl. Fat chicks and tats can be an ugly mix.

i have a celtic cross tattoo with a vampire hidden in the lines.  to add to the above response.  Do you really know how many of those people are tattooed and you just don't see.  I have six tattoos, all pretty large and NO ONE knows if I chose to dress appropriately.  I was even a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding!!!  Personal expression is changing. tattooing is no different than hair dye, earrings or clothing choices.  I bet if jobs were given on looks alone, i (with my six tattos) would get a job before a slovenly dressed man or women with too much lip[stick.  Judging  a book by it's cover over.  Expression says alot to people about your person.

I love "well placed" tats on people.  Tribal art gets me goin - don't know why, but I find it way cool...  Also, nice, small ones that kinda "show off" a person's personality are attractive.  However, I'm not turned on by major PAINT on a person.\n\nWhat about you???

You're thinking the right way.  Someday you might be in a position in a job where your appearance is critical.  A tattoo in an area that isn't concealable might be a hindrance.  You can't tell what people might think of it. I've had a tattoo for almost 20 years, and only the people I want to see it have seen it.  It's normally covered and not an issue.  As a matter of fact, I am considering a rather large tattoo (at least 8") right now and have to decide if I want it to be openly seen, partially, or not at all. I'm well established in my career, and a tattoo will not influence my job.  I still think about what others might think of it, though

Actually, Cowboy, I think your question IS relevant in the topic you put it under simply because in our culture, strip clubs have become commonplace.  I, too, however, find them very degrading to women.  The human body is a beautiful thing, but I strongly disagree with people putting their bodies on display in such a crude fashion.  Apologies to anyone that this offends, it's just my opinion.

Yes.  I agree.  Tattoos are the desperate attempt for trashy people to draw attention to themselves.  They were ignored as children and now as adults they do nothing of note to draw attention to themselves so they attempt to shock people into noticing them.  It is as if they walked out into society, stood on a chair, cupped their hands and began screaming:\n\n"Look at me!!" \n\n"LOOK AT ME!!!"\n\n"Will someone PLEASE look at me?  Look at how shocking I am.  Are you shocked?  Are you stunned?  I don't give a &*%$ about ANYTHING!  I'm so rebellious--I'm so shocking--I'm so BAD.  LOOK AT ME!!!!"\n\n\nPeople with class, talent, and high self esteem don't need to deface their bodies to draw attention to themselves.  They let their ACTIONS speak louder than their bodies.

I see your point. Depending on what kind of tattoo and where its located it may not be a problem or seem inappropriate. I think before getting a tattoo an individual should think about this. There is always the option of getting it removed by a doctor. This I've heard can be even more painful then when the person got the tattoo.

I don't think a tattoo makes all people trashy, just some.  Because of the way they keep the rest of their body, hair, appearance, etc.  I wouldn't think a man with a military tattoo on his arm is trashy, or even a little clover on a woman's ankle.\n \nIt's when they look homemade, or gotten because it was the latest fad and have no meaning.  I don't have one, but I'd like to get one, and it will have a lot of meaning for me.  But it will be in a place where nobody could see it unless I wanted to show them.\n \nAnd as a woman, I hate going into a professional office and women with tattoos on their backs are showing them off in halter tops.  Not appropriate for the workplace at all.
