Tattoos are about as permanent as most of those other things... they can be changed, but it takes some doing to change them.


Sooo... why would it be okay to bash the people on C-D who have tattoos? It's just not okay.

Naturally, a person is born of a given racial and/or ethnic background, but those other things? You can change them... still, they are a part of who you are, so why allow people to bash other people here?

No need to be rude, I have to tell you. There's just not.

Where do you stand on boob jobs? Facelifts?

Taking enhancing drugs to allow one to bodybuild?

Seriously... I mean, if you want to talk mutilation...

You don't need a hell of a lot of things that people decide they want and let's face it, nobody gives a damn about any of that stuff either.

Why single out tattoos?

Women don't need to dye their hair (neither do men)... we do not need HAIRCUTS, either.

My brother has half a sleeve, a huge tat on his legs and back. He regrets all of them and wishes he never started getting them.

Women, with any ink, look like dirty, classless, skank-*ss-trash-bags.

I do not have any ink.

Carry on...

I'll be sure to let my husband (The IT Architect who has no tattoos) know this... since, I have a couple of large ones.

Oh... and my white-collar, professional employer (where I am not a secretary, but a member of a professional group)... and the head of my graduate department at the school where I'm working on my 2nd master's degree...

They'll need this valuable info!

Like this:

I find artful tattoos to be very attractive on a human being.

Just like that.

Look at me. See my tats. This is who I am. This is what defines me. I'm a badass because I endured this pain.

What disgusts me most about tatoo artists is how many they have. They are trying to make a living off of polluting you with ink and they need your dollars... repeat customers.

How many tats is enough? What's the stats on how many tats a person gets long term after they already have the one?

If you saw me right now, you'd have no clue I even have tattoos... and I have 2 very large ones.

My tattoo artist is quite covered, but he also runs one of the nicest tattoo shops you'd ever want to see and he's obsessively tidy so I'm thinking that Hep C is more likely caught from a night in a bar than a couple hours with him.

May I ask why?

Does the same apply to rhinoplasty, liposuction, abdominoplasty, butt lifts, botox, and other permanent modifications and enhancements.

I get "extreme" situations being unappealing, but what is the issue with cosmetic surgery in and of itself? What of permanent makeup? Is it so vain and shallow to opt for "permanent" makeup? Does that mean one has issues if they're fixated on "looking good," going so far as to choose permanent makeup?

(Waiting to hear how oh-so shallow, vain, insecure, and attention-seeking women are who desire or get cosmetic surgery. Obviously, that *must* be the case.)

Back atcha.

You realize we need to warn people about us, right?

I mean... the tattooed and intelligent are a danger to society, what with our skanky, low-class ways.
