I don’t mind most tattoos but what is it with people who get tattoos of shit that will be outdated in two years, maybe sooner? The decision you make at 20 or 25 will impact you your entire life. Those anarchist emblems will embarrass you in middle-age like nothing else will. They will be expensive to remove so choose your design wisely. Tattooing ‘Fuck Off’ on your knuckles will close doors down the road. Take it from one who knows. —Just Put A Little Thought Into What You’re Tattooing

Permanent solution to temporary gratification.
I was only 16 when I got mine. I wish they would have ID’d me.
Starland Vocal Band? They suck!
I dunno about that. My bank manager seems like a pretty cool guy:

They’re all so godawful! After the first day they all look so yucky and faded and tacky. None for me, yuck! It is said that tattoo’s are the mark of the beast. Hmmmm, maybe there’s some truth in that old saying….. And then there are the girls who get tattoo’s, it just looks so slutty and whorey.
This is why I don’t think it’s wise for parents to allow their teens to get inked. I got one when I was 22 and, although I like it, I wish I would have gotten one with some meaning.
i waited til i was 35
I’ve seen some nice looking tats. 🙂
Would the nice looking tats be a horrible anchor tattoo on someones hand? I would have to argue with you there bestie, LMFAO. You’re making it difficult to like you again…..
To each his own…It’s not me with the huge anchor on my hand so I don’t care what another person has inked.If I don’t like it I don’t look or judge because I may think the tat is tacky or ugly….My sensitivities aren’t that fragile.
LOL I got an anarchy symbol tattooed on my bum when I was 21, so as when I mooned people there would be an extra little gift. Turns out I don’t really moon people very often, I think it’s come in useful 3 times in the last 7 years. It’s nice to know that the option is there.
I always wanted a functional ‘DNR’ tattoo. As it stand, I got two that can be covered in a professional environment.
Tats are ok, tits are a whole lot different.
Reminds me of an old story about the author Truman Capote who obliged a number of his female fans at a book signing by autographing their breasts with his full name. However, one of the boyfriends, upset at the attention he was getting, pulled out his penis and asked Truman to autograph that. But it didn’t measure up, so to speak.
Truman asked, “Do you want me to initial it instead?”
At least it wasn’t a tattoo.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
I enjoy all five of my “whorey and slutty” tattoos. I got my first at 30 and my most recent last year at 35.
I wonder if Ivan still has that tattoo of Ronald Reagan flexing his bicep and saying, “Here’s the beef.”
No, I kept being stopped by slack-jawed hipsters asking me,”Who’s that dude?” so I had it redone into something a little more socially relevant:

Cleopatra after she talked smack to Marc Anthony?
oh and for future reference blip blip–some may say a profile picture that doesn’t even show your FACE but just your tata’s could be considered whorey and slutty. Hypocrisy at work.
Hey esai, why you think Chay-Lo dump his abusive ass. She say “Fut chu you little Steve Buscemi lookin’ maricon!”
Pbbbbfffffttttt!!!! My Care Bears back piece is still just as awesome as it was the day I got it.
Maricon is ‘sebastian’ in Spanish Harlem.
“I always wanted a functional ‘DNR’ tattoo.”
What that Department of Natural Resources? Where to you get one of those tattoos? I’ve always wanted one.
Heh, at least anarchist emblem tattoos are relatively ‘timeless’.
Justin Bieber ones, on the other hand…
“HELLO SAILOR!”: TATTOOS AS AN UNDERCLASS MARKER
As with other forms of discourse, tattoos are self-referential. In other words, it is not so much the tattoo itself but rather what the wearer communicates by having one which is central. So what does the wearer communicate by having one?
Regardless of the design, bodily location or gender affiliation which, of course, are all important in their way, the baseline communication is that the tattoo wearer is a member in good standing of the Underclass. To be a member of the Underclass, the Halifax Underclass in particular, is to be socially a member of the lower orders, economically on its margins, of low cognitive attainment and, finally, possessed of coarse sensibilities and offensive behaviour. In a word, while not necessarily a member of the criminal element, he or she is undoubtedly a pariah, an outcast, a social leper.
In the case of the male, the communication is direct and unsubtle. It corresponds to his attainments, or rather, to the lack of them. Feckless, unskilled and blusteringly outspoken about issues in respect to which he is in total ignorance, the male tattoo wearer is simply an imbecile who struts about unaware of his ludicrous appearance. He is properly shunned by all respectable citizens he may happen to encounter.
In the case of the female, however, things are different. Whether knowingly or not, her communication is not so much that of strutting stupidity but rather it is moral. The tattooed female is a “fallen woman,” a garish, painted harridan who frequents those venues which hold out the promise of male custom. Her tattoo announces that her body is for sale. She is ready to take on all comers, for a price of course. That being so, her communication is an unabashed, “Hello sailor! Looking for a bit of fun?”
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
MM- It was so nice to come on here to comment and be confronted with yet another amazing post from you. I think it should be a law to have what you said posted on ALL tattoo/drug shops. Well put again and I’m very envious of you.
For future reference VOT. Your tattoos probably are the terms I mentioned. My picture I posted is of my second daughter, she’s of legal age but I’m not surprised to read the perverted insults about her and her beautiful picture.
HoistyHammerPoop- It comes as no surprise to find out you’re 25. I’ll save all my future comments for when you actually grow up and stop self mutilating yourself.
Blip Blip understands that the tattooing of the body, mutilating the perfection of Supreme Allah (P.B.U.H) is haram according to the prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H.)
However this dies not excuse her from getting the tatto shown here:
http://www.rounds.com/blog/wp-content/uplo…
in order that she may perform upon here husband the perverse khufar sexual practice known as the bagpipe when she is in her menses. This is also haram and the two who particpate are accursed in the eyes of Supreme Allah (P.B.U.H.) and shall surely burn in the hellfire.
Salaam Aleikum
I just reported you to the moderator for spreading hate and islamophobia. Consider yourself banned auntie sam(burninhell_) Itiq
You seriously need a life, Blimp. Wah-wah-wah – I’m going to run to the moderator because I can’t be a bully – wah-wah-wah – you are just one big fail, Blimpy-Wog.
Oh my TT, lucky for you your old profile got deleted. Why you all ask? For being a shit disturbing troll! We all remember your “tell the mod about wogdog, lets all band together and report her”. You damn hypocrite, no one is that stoopid.
In this case I believe the poster should be reported for the negative light she is shedding. There is just no place for that sort of attitude on here.
To take a page out of your book, I’m a new poster here, long time lurker. I don’t know who this TTFN was but she sounds like an A-1 individual if she was trying to combat the evil that is you, Blimpie.
If you want to get me banned, go right ahead, honey. It doesn’t matter to me one dangling dingle berry.
How fucking dare you quote what I say against me! Go to hell you bloody bitch!
Time to go play in the sunshine on this champion Father’s Day – to all the Dads on this board, here’s hoping you have a lovely day with your kiddies.
Oh, Blimp – you’ve gone from a yawn to a ‘meh’ in one easy post. You have a good afternoon as well, dearie – I’m sure you’ve made time for your Rub Unit and all your little Papists!
I want you to ignore me TTFN. I’m here to comment on tpoic about the bitches that were posted. I am not here to bully and insult other people as you have been doing for a long time.
Thank you for submitting to the jihad against hate and islamophobie, Sister Blip blip and may the the blessings of Supreme Allah (P.B.U.H.) fall upon your head like a golden shower of rain.
I was mistaken, however. According to the Hadith of the Sevillian Imam, Housa Bin-Farteen, (1369) the following tattoo, in non-permanent henna is permissable:
http://images.womenvsmonkey.com/files/2011…
In the undortunate event that your husband, or father, or brother or uncle has been blessed with “specialness” by Supreme Allah (P.B.U.H.)
Sallam Aleikum.
best thing i’ve read all week *sister blip blip*
*how fucking dare you quote what i say against me”. too clever for wogsbottom
why worry so much about it? It’s not like they’re putting it on your body.
Think of it as a long-term investment in humour.
on a side note, it’s awesome how people can like their own comments. Believe it or not, i never thought to try that before!
See? Everybody can teach you something..
Just a thought-A person who gets a tat then becomes morbidly obese when looses weight would be left with a tat that resembles picture on the back of a Mad magazine ;they are left with a tat resembling the original tat and if folded a certain way a new tat. lol
Did everyone have an awesome Daddy Day? We celebrated with home-fried scallops, spinach salad and baked some teenie-tiny potatoes with lots of seasonings – our lovely child whipped this feast up with a pineapple upside down cake as her fait accompli – neither of us are big sweet eaters but it was delicious! She’s taking home the leftovers for her roomies.
All things in moderation.
People have different reasons for using mobility scooter. Try telling someone who has been injured on the job who has had their back fucked up forever and can never walk normally again – of course, they’re going to gain weight, how can someone exercise if you’re mobility is fucked? Bite your forehead four times a day?? I hate blanket statements like this on an issue so important to so many who are truly victims of injuries.
P.S. – As someone who uses a cane on a fairly regular basis because 30 years of running and aerobics blew my kneecaps out (still waiting for surgery after 2 years), I don’t know how many times I wished I could have one of those damn scooters.
All things being equal, Mr. More’s blind date with Lizbeth Salander was probably not a good idea.

And even then, it’s not that funny.

A Father’s Day question, and topical; Is/Are transitioning transgenedering folks ok to celebrate BOTH Fathers and Mothers days?
Auntie – seems as if there’s a little internal tension, even at one of your bingo halls, sorry, mosques – I guess the saying “Religion of Peace” has become a bit trite, sort of like the eternal cry of racism?
Perhaps a trip to the Waterfront and a visit to the white devils who operate the cursed bacon stand will make things better?http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-23…
Verily, Brother George, as the Grand Mufti of Qum, Amaquir Al-Suqya decreed – “All violence perpetrated amongst the ummah of Britain must be considered the fault of the khufar government and their crusader foriegn policies. Now where’s my dole cheque you sons of jackals and monkeys?”
Salaam Aleykum.

Those would be the two tattoos gracing The Captains body.
How is this a bitch?
I’m up to 7… none of which are on my face.
One would argue this wasn’t the best of ideas.

but I do like the lettering.
i am going for number 7 soon, but none on my face
I was a late bloomer, I was 56 when I got my one and only tat, it’s a sentimental one for my late wife.
I really like my tattoo’s, all are original designs & my first has a symbolism important to me, with my children’s names entwined in it . Something I will always cherish …
But I have to admit I’ve seen some tattoo’s that have made me cringe. At least now with the newer laser treatments they can be removed.
I have one for my late Dad in the works (still just on paper). It will be my first, possibly my only one–who knows, I like ink to have meaning too. But it’s so personal, and really an art form that changes subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) with your body and your life–very cool, IMO. I really like tats.
@Hoist: if you ever make a summit, you’ll have to moon us all–we can call it a hazing ritual if you like!!
Oh my god. Stop saying “tats”. It’s 2013. Every time someone walks into my shop saying “I want to get a tat”, I’m tempted to say, “sorry. Fresh out of tats.”
Somewhere around 40 when I got started. None of mine mean shit, deep meaning-wise. No regrets.
People can get whatever they want. Neo-nazi ink is a bit of a downer, though.
this shop justsayin, where might it be?
justsayin comes off as a douche. doubt you’ll find out where they work. Hah, bet that song Pretty Fly for a White guy drove the shop nuts when it came out….”gettin’ ink done….asked for a 13 but they drew a 31″
i have my people, i was just curious
paingirl- seeing as how the majority of this thread is from people calling them tats, i’ll have to pass, hahaha. Douche I’m not, however. And actually, Cranky, that song makes me laugh out loud.

Sorry, I’m sure you’re not a douche. We all have pet peeves about the industries of which we are employed.
