I'm guessing that there was never the assumption that it would. There's really no reason to be rude, or to weigh in at all regarding how somebody chooses to memorialize a deceased loved one. Do you frequent cemeteries, as well, and make fun of people's headstones (also purely decorative, and unnecessary)?

You never have disclosed your age as far as I know , so what is it? I mean on other topics with you I often agree so....


And as far as age, depending the crowd you hang with, which I being the rock guy, tend to run into biker, rocker, stripper or otherwise alternative chicks and even in their 50's their lifestyle specially biker has included tats.

Funny (not really, actually annoying) because they don't really appeal to me but my lifestyle dictates usually that those kind of girls are around me. I 'd rather be the rocker that plays out and has the 9-5 job holding normal chick and a quite homestyle life otherwise.....

There's something quite distasteful about a person who does the highlighted comment imo.

Even Aesthetic reasons are acceptable, but not the above.

Personal significance IS an aesthetic reason.

I can’t really describe that design, it’s a celtic kind of thing. Doesn’t mean anything.

I’d love to get another small one on my inner wrist and another behind one of my ears.



That’s ok, just out of curiosity.

It is up to you. Who am I to tell? I would need to shave a shoulder for one to look good. Therefore, I currently don't have any!

I'll say it again.

There's something quite distasteful about a person who gets a tattoo of their mother, girlfriend, or michael jackson for love, respect, or w/e.

I'd rather have someone get one simply because they believe it looks good on them, without any other significance.

30.

My friends range anywhere from 21 – 50 years old, some clean cut and some not so clean cut. The older crowd seems to frown on tats on women. One of my older friends even asked his lady to laser her tattoos off, and she did. I would never do that for someone. As others have said, if they don’t accept me warts/tattoos and all then they’re not the one for me.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude, really. I just think there are (way) better ways to memorialize someone you loved that is gone.
No, I don't frequent cemeteries. I'm not obsessed with people there isn't alive anymore. I only like to remember the fun times with them and how they've shaped who I am. I just don't see the point of making a tattoo with they name on it.
