Anyone with no tattoos?

Not that I am against it...

Actually I have no real preference about them, and find many people with them (especially sleeves, major body) quite interesting...I love when they have a story or meaning behind them....

So no judgement.

My Mom told me once...is there anything you would want on you "forever"?

It stuck with me...At one point I actually entertained getting a Mickey's Big Mouth Bee...(what a stupid thing that would have been).

I think Women are different...

Obviously Tramp stamps, and other tattoos are pretty ghetto...

but a butterfly? flowers?...not so much.

Anyone with Gang history? I deal with lots of Gang types at work...always wonder how they feel, when older, about all the tattoos they have...

I mean laser removal is amazing these days, but curious how you feel about then vs now...

and then there are just travesty of justice tattoos...big titted women/mermaids, just stupid shit... how does that even happen?!?

Curious to hear what people have to say about their tats...

My favorite was a woman I met with a full sleeve of Alice and Wonderland...and amazing, beautiful artwork.

Tell the tale of your tattoo..

My mother said the same thing and it stuck with me, too. Far older in life I did some scarification but it all has meaning. Have few letters, FID meaning fuck it dude, and I have a cross. All of mine are hidden on my thighs where nobody can see them.

Today, tattoos are all about identity. I’d date to say many of them get tattoos purely for the attention that comes along with it and the cool feeling of then identifying with some bullshit.

I have scars, which are more than enough for me.

no kids no tats no vac

one in million baby

None.

I have a few spots on my hands from graphite pencils.

We sharpen them to hell for the type of work we do and sometimes you'll have one in your pocket, tip up, and then you stick your hand in there to grab something and get skewered.

Leaves a permanent mark, like a pinprick dot or graphite forever... essentially a tattoo.

Criminals and prostitutes used to be the only ones that had them.

Before the J people controlled media started promoting them as "trendy"

That's the one somewhat intelligent thing that's ever come out of your mouth.

Hillary Clinton is fucking ugly as fuck!!

The only thing any of their scripture mentions about tattoos is them warning people not to mark their bodies in reverence for death. Supposedly it was in reference to a cult at the time who worshipped death. It was common place for people in the area to get tattoos on their faces.

Tattooing is older than Egypt.

You're absolutely correct about "identity!" If you are ever horribly disfigured in an accident your body will be much easier to ID. And cops love them for the same reason since most perps have several.

Of course, that's not what you meant by "identity", and you're correct again even in that context: those who get tats are psychologically lacking in one to the extent they get inked up to call more attention to themselves and simultaneously feel like a part of a greater whole.
