C.T.C - Christian Tattoo Club

[t-wings]

It used to be that guys started getting single earrings put in at about the time when their sisters - and their moms - started getting doubles put in.

It used to be also that getting tattoos was a man thing; but now in North America apparently 59%-70% or more of parlor clients are female.

Every family is different, though. (And maybe you yourself follow your own trend!)

yes, im pretty much the only guy in my family with both.

And - although women with ink now outnumber men with ink statistically - not all sisters or moms have it done, either, right?

only sister

only sister

She had it done, too, then; maybe no regrets so far. Perhaps you were into ink before she was?

maybe about the same, I was with her when she got hers first done, I wasn't of legal age to get one at the time

Oh okay, so she's an older sister then. Sounds like you both are into ink, giving each other a bit of moral support when you've had it done; and seems like she also wasn't content with getting just one, either.

yes

yes

Okay! she blazed the ink trail, so to speak.

PS: To think that years ago it used to be overwhelmingly a man thing to get ink. (Military; bikers.)

Although Winston Churchill's mother had a tattoo, apparently.

Now it really is a woman thing to do also.

I have about 5 now, but they can be hidden. I do plan on a couple more. All have a deep meaning for me.

@BlissMommy:
@bluegreysky
So I guess no more ink news for the 'Tattoo Club' just lately?

 

[faroukfarouk]

Only my tattoo artists. And I think that's just more because they want a change and there is no space on their bodies for more tattoos, rather than regret.

Are they all really that much covered already?

Hello, Everyone! my name’s Judith! Has anyone thought of trying with fake tattoos before deciding to make them permanent? Especially those who take art and expression really seriously? Or even if it’s just your hobby, I guess for me I take skin-art as a form of signature and ownership of your creation. I would love to hear your ideas about fake tattoos. I’m a designer from the Momentary Ink - Realistic, Custom Temporary Tattoos they offer a variety of fake tattoos (you can even create the design yourself) which you can customize and test-drive before deciding to make it permanent. It’s perfect if you’re not sure whether it would look great or not! Come and visit their website now!

Hi, so do you yourself also have real tattoos?

Nope, I don't have any.

 

[DreadCthulhu]

I have a Triforce tattooed on my left hand, plus the Wings of Freedom on my back. Also: this thread is more than 10 years old. That's not something you usually see.

 

[faroukfarouk]

Everyone at this salon has facial tattoos. I won't ever do that.

PS:

Seems like the behind the ear placement is getting popular; I guess it's sort of facial though not completely, partly hidden by the earlobe and/or the hair. But for some ppl, even the behind the ear placement would be too much for them, I guess?

 

[LaSorcia]

Someone I know was considering a tattoo like that.

Really?

So did s/he eventually decide against it, or maybe s/he is still considering it?

Some ppl do think this kind of simple, unobtrusive small tattoo is quite nice:

I'm not sure, the topic hasn't come up in a while.

I think that's just more because they want a change and there is no space on their bodies for more tattoos, rather than regret.

PS: You're right about some cover-ups being more about a desire for something new rather than necessarily being driven by regret for the previous one.

I guess that this is likely to become a lot more prevalent, especially since people often start their ink journey at 18; and if years later they eventually change what they have it may as much be because they simply want to move on to something different, I suppose.
