Does anyone have any embarrassing tattoos they'd like to share? You know, ex-girlfriend's names, flaming skulls with snakes coming out of the eyesockets, asian lettering that doesn't mean what you thought it meant? I don't have any tattoos, but my current boyfriend was long ago marked as the property of another woman. I tease him and tell him that even if he gets it covered up, it will only be camoflauge and he will still be her property.
Naw...I have is a naval piercing I got in Salt Lake City of all places (which has now less than five tattoo/piercing parlors in a one-mile radius in its downtown area ), but all I regret is not having rock-hard abs to show it off more often. I'd never get a tattoo. Far too permanent for me.
Yes, I have an embarassing tattoo. No I am not going to show you a picture of it. Not entirely sure what I was thinking, it was supposed to be a lizard kinda like the ones in Native American art except the person doing the tattoo was not an artist by any stretch of the imagination and after seeing it part way I decided it was best to leave it and cover it at some point rather than put the legs on. So now I have some stupid looking snake thing on my upper right arm, almost on my shoulder. Considering drawing a slightly modified version of my av and getting that done over it since it would work, though I can't figure how to work that into a sleeve because at some point in the future I would like to have both of my upper arms covered as well as my shoulders.
OH's tattoos are pretty naff. He's got a bulldog on one, and the second is a hooded skull with a scorpion wrapped around it. I hate waking up and seeing that skull one looking at me *shudder*
I'd never get a tattoo, not just for the obvious reason that they are a bit chavvy, but mainly because tastes change, what i like today i might hate in a year. And you always have to think what a tat will look like 15 years down the line, tats on old wrinkly skin look horrid
Don't have any myself. I knew an Air Force dude who had a devil eating out a woman (sort of...her crotch was riding the devil's tounge). I'm sure he's loving this in middle age.
Well, there are a few people still alive who were liberated from Auschwitz who might have a bone to pick with the absolute nature of that statement, but generally, yeah, I'd agree. Although they're now developing and starting to use tattoo inks with removal in mind that would break down pretty easily and painlessly with a single laser treatment, which would IMO move tattoos from the column to the column.
FIVE tattoo parlors in downtown SLC? I'm surprised. I'm with most of you, not wanting to regret something down the line. I decided six years ago that if I ever get one it will be a really big one over my entire back. I even saw a picture in one of those books that would have worked quite well, imo. It would be really cool to see a contortionist with a giant tattoo on his/her back in the style of one of those MAD Magazine comics; and s/he could bend his/her shoulder blades together to create a different picture. Yeah, that'd be cool.
I'm fairly certain those people would have much preferred not to have those particular tattoos. Ya know?
Well, yeah, but I wouldn't call them embarrassing. More a badge of honor where you really wish you never had to have that much honor.
Actually, there's probably more now. Haven't actually taken the time to count them all...that might be my goal for the day as I go to work.
Tattoo of a ballerina on my shoulder, nipples pierced, belly button pierced, and soon to be wings on my back
I've got one, I've had it over half my life and wouldn't change it for the world...well ok for the world I'd turn it into a fucking carebear, but you know what I mean. I'll probably get a few more sometime in the future, though I've long since given up my piercings...simply too much of a hassle to have them.
I think tattoos and piercings make a person look trashy, especially on women. I've yet to see a woman with a tattoo and think she looks great with it. Those lower back cum-target tattoos are just friggin' stupid looking I might add. I want my woman to have a little class and avoid the ink or steel rammed through her nose/lip/ears/eyebrow/nipples/clit/labia/wherever.
Have you seen any embarrassing tattoos on the people you've dated? Has a lady ever hiked up her skirt to show you her "Daddy's little girl" thigh tat?
I mostly agree, although I have heard of people getting tasteful tattoos to cover a nasty surgical scar, or to reproduce the appearance of a nipple lost to mastectomy or injury. And some folks who desperately do not want resuscitation or have severe allergies or some other medical request have had informative tattoos marked on their chest - that's pretty creative, I think.
Creative, maybe but useless legally. No hospital or doctor would act on a tattooed non-resuscitate order.
I have been stabbed thru the hand in primary school, with a fountain pen, at age 6. Left a little dot. Looks like I had been in prison but didn't quite make it to three
