I do agree with that. Pass no judgement on a person simply because they have a tattoo, or because they don't. Their reasons, however, are totally judgeable

tattoos are just stupid in general unless it's like your name and address

Did anyone see NCIS LA last night? I loved the tats on the woman's leg when she went to the club, but when she took her shrug off absolutely hated the ones on her back and arms. Thought they were incredibly icky looking for some reason.

BTW, I've been wondering how much they cost. I've been thinking about a 2-color (black and yellow if that makes a difference), 1/2 inch tat on my palm. Someone would have to do the artwork based on an object I have. Any idea how much that would cost in SW Idaho?

from my experience and observation, the more tattoos a person has the crazier & weirder they are? they usually have some type of behavior problem

neck tattoos & face tattoos are an indication of stupidity / risky behavior or ex convict, gang affilliation, etc

anybody with common sense can tell a heavily tattooed person is a indication they have something wrong with them

ever notice most tattooed people you see are in a certain age group? they are the type of people that cant resist a fad, a sign of weakness

No. The woman herself has to be butch in order for it to appear butch. Tattoos may make a woman appear trashy (depending on the type of tattoo she has), but never butch.

Here's a gal I know with tats and she looks AWESOME. This kind of woman can pull off looking absolutely fantastic with tats. Artsy and relates to her being, soul and how she lives her life.

The reason you think that is because that type of person (heavily tattooed, weird, mentally unstable etc) is always drawing attention to themselves. Same with the big muscle guy with a barbed wire tattoo who ALWAYS has to wear shirts without sleeves to show it off.

I know plenty of completely stable people who are heavily tattooed and they are just normal people, doing normal things and not drawing attention to themselves, so people like you take no notice.

I'm a little weird perhaps, but I like being weird. I like being a tattooed female aircraft mechanic. I would like to think that I have most of my mental faculties intact considering I have 3 college degrees, but if you immediately write me off as mentally unstable just by glancing at me, then you obviously would never find any of that out.

As for hand and neck tattoos, many people that have those are in industries that don't care. Considering my old artist charged $220 an hour and you had to book at least 6 months in advance I'd say he wasn't hurting for money, and he was self employed.

And generally speaking you don't spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours getting a tattoo because you're following a fad. In addition, everyone follows fads. Everyone.

This is how I'll deal with having tattoos when I'm old:

LOL.

@7165Red, I try not to think about what anyone would look like when they get old. That is just gross. If you are a dude, do you imagine what every hot chick's butt or boobs are going to look like when she's like 60? Not cool. Just enjoy them as they are today is my motto.

people with full arm tats look like they have a dark greyish infection like gangrene when the tats get old and faded

tats dont stay new and fresh looking forever, all the detail is gone
