I say good for her! She is not afraid to be who she is, tattoos, loose skin and all.

I don't get the hangup people in the US have with nudity... regardless of age or gender. Afraid to see something less perfect than an airbrushed victoria secret model?

No. I'm sure I'm nothing special to look at--even though I keep in good shape at my job. I just happen to be MODEST when it comes to how I present myself in public. Nudity in the privacy of my own home, I'm fine with. As long as there's no one there I'm not already intimate with, then I stay dressed.

Good for you! Not everyone else thinks the same way, nor should they.

I am also quite modest in the way I dress, but I also don't think human nudity is something to freak out about. Maybe it was because I grew up in a different country... she was obviously at some sort of group gathering (probably a motorcycle rally or something of the sort) and I've been to plenty of those where nudity was acceptable.

Don't ever go to Sturgis during Bike week if you can't stand seeing a few real boobs

I see real boobs all the time out in public. But at my job they call them "customers".

I'm the only woman in my department so the only boobs I see are my own.

Yet another tattoo thread that won't die, and all the same arguments. People with tattoos defending themselves from the people who hate tattoos.

For all of the haters: Mind your own business. It's not your life, so why do you care?

Sure, there are many butt-ugly tattoos, but they have no effect on anothers life.

I don't have any tattoos myself, but I am not opposed to nor offended by them on others. Most of my friends and family members who have them had them done to commemorate a significant time or event in their lives.

When I read the title of this thread though, I wonder if perhaps the OP meant "don't you wish tattoos would stop being so trendy?"

Any other posters agree? Getting a tattoo that you planned and designed to celebrate your ___________(marriage, time in the service, birth of child, 30th b-day etc etc etc) = cool.

Getting a tattoo because you saw one on a famous actor/actress. and thought it looked "cool"? Not so much. Double-loser points if you get one of the faux-Chinese tattoos and you don't know what it really means, if anything.

There's a great story I read about a gal who got some Kanji characters that she 'self translated' and it ended up meaning 'explosive diarrhea'. She got that tatooed right above her buttcrack without realizing what it meant.

I'm working on my Masters, have my pilot's license and am also going to be getting my A&P. I'm ASE certified in two different areas and have never had a problem finding a job.

Oh, and I worked as a manager of a 'local corner store' while in college.... I guess making 60k a year with full bennies wasn't too bad for a 23 year old. Right now I work with multi million dollar private jets... and get job offers on a weekly basis from many different companies.

Guess tattoos don't hold everyone back.
Please read what I said and not what you THINK I said.....

I was specifically referring to "MOST" people...I've highlighted it below just incase you missed it....I also specifically mentioned "FULL SLEEVE"....not a person with tattoo's....as I've said before I have tats....I know you have a full sleeve and more....

Good for you, you have made yourself....again please note what I said and not what you think I said...I have also highlighted my quote...

So now, my question is...when you have to go to meetings with these million dollar companies....do you wear a short sleeve dress shirt or a long sleeve dress shirt....

But let me say from an aviation guy to an aviation guy...just becasue you work with million dollar ACFT means nothing...my military Chinook (CH-47) was worth just as much as your jet...or more...but that did not go on my resume....

You said that most people who get full sleeve tattoos will regreat [sic] them and that those who will not regreat [sic] them do not want anything more than to work at the local cornor [sic] store.

JetJockey appears to be a person who has a full sleeve tattoo and does not regret it nor does he/she work at the corner store.

Perhaps you should introduce some doubt into your mind.
