so after much consideration, I finally got my first tattoos. What do you think?

[hawko]

You wouldn't see me doing anything like that to my body !

 

[colleen]

Good question.

I like the idea of an upside down red triangle with a P in it, the Nazi prison camp badge that Poles wore. Maybe a cool Sacred Heart - those can be pretty badass. Maybe skelly, my avatar and the mascot of the band social Distortion...but a "band tattoo" is kinda..I dunno - it's not like I'm that big of a fan anyway. Maybe I could get all three incorporated into a sleeve. I don't like the looks of just sprinkling tattoos here and there, I'd either fill an arm, chest, back, whatever, or not bother.

I also like alot of the Russian Orthodox triple crosses, but I think I'll leave that for the Orthodox.

You?

When I studied abroad in Ireland I seriously thought about getting a celtic cross. And, if I got one today it would be something like that, or an image of the sacred heart of Mary, or a rosary. Though I don't think I'd ever get one. Lots of my cousins have them and my brother, and as the years go on they just look dated and I have a feeling I would regret it down the line. It's also a modesty issue (I know huge shocker) for me as I would want it somewhere that it would be covered to the outside world which means I would have to remove clothing and be immodest in the tattoo parlor to get it. And, it would break my daddy's heart.

I would get one if I wasn't worried about it blurring or possibly later regretting it.

Obviously I'm not going to get one in inappropriate places... but I am not completely against them.

I saw a very nice looking young guy at Mass this afternoon and he had a rosary on his arm from his wrist to his elbow.... it was actually really beautiful.....

 

[Miss Shelby]

Of course this begs the question, what kind of tattoo would you get?

No ink for this bod. my skin is CLEAN.

 

[Rebekka]

Mike, be original and have one of Susan.

 

[MikeK]

Susan, ladies and gentleman, is my cat...which bears a very strong resemblence to the cat in Rebekka's avatar. Like I said 'Beks, I'd want to get more than just one...if I got one of my kitty, I'd probably want to get a Teddy Bear, a dolphin, a butterfly and some flowers to go with her. And unicorns, gotta have some unicorns.

Am I the only one who thinks "MR CooL ICE" is the funniest thing ever?

Well actually that kitty in my avatar IS Susan. I have her tattood all over my body too. She's not a teddy bear fluffy kind of kitty BTW.

I think MR Cool ICE is a bit dorky.

 

[tadoflamb]

Those were some ugly tattoos!

The guy in the picture looks stoned.

Pax,

Mr. Cool Ice

 

[Miss Shelby]

we have a calico kitty. her name is Jasmine. She's a good lil mouser. And calicos don't shed.

Mine does! I love calicos. They're supposed to bring good luck, too - but not to the mice, indeed.

Mike, if it's too much work for the tattoo artist to use all different colours, perhaps you could get a tattoo of one of my tabbies - that's only two colours.

 

[BAFRIEND]

If I could go back 20 years, one thing I would definitely have gotten was a tatoo. One on my upper arm with my name and some stars perhaps, or the vines...

At 40 though, if I did it now it would be like a mid-life crisis type deal. My sister at 42 years got her damn naval peirced last year... what a joke. She must think she is a hip teen or something.

pretty tame for a midlife crisis. A piercing. pft. I'd go for a tummy tuck.

 

[MikeK]

Tummy tuck? That's nowhere near the kind of crash and burn self-destructive binge I anticipate for myself.

ohhh.. that would be a fun thread poll. "It's your midlife crisis, what would YOU do?' Then list a bunch of debauchery-ish sin driven activities.

But I'd get in trouble again if I did something like that. (or at the very least, lovingly rebuked.)

 

[Annabel Lee]

I had a tame midlife crisis. Went back to school and learned how to give injections and (legally) suck blood out of people.

Sounds like a great thread!

I double-dog dare you.

 

[stivvy]

I double-dog dare you.

 

[Annabel Lee]

Me?! And tarnish this beautiful halo?

Okay.

Gotta go out for a few hours but I'll do it when I get back.
