That picture just screams no imagination, and no style at all. Sorry if someone is offended, but that guy needs henna instead of ink.

that's hardcore... i would love to see how it turns out. no nakey though. haha

on my right side i'm getting some polynesian work done to complete something i got last time i was in the philippines.

on the left, i have somewhat a story of losses like my dogs and family. i haven't decided what background i'll use to tie it together.

i'm not doing full sleeves or anything. mostly just finishing old work that i've had done over the years. i have to sport a suite and polos every now and then for various business purposes.

great rules, I for one wish women would stop bathing in the really awful smelling stuff they use. Less IS the new more, ladies.

As for men, go with tats, but please, just ask someone who is not your mother or best friend before committing to one. If you have no friends that don't like you, and the cousins are blind, just ask me. I'm already sorry for 95% of the answers, but really, do not fuck up anything permanent.

Basically, there are many negative connotations associated with tattoos, a few of which I cited.

Of course these perceptions may be far from reality but when you do something to modify your appearance in a manor which is not the "norm" you expose yourself to possibly being perceived the wrong way. Think of someone who looks "ghetto" - maybe baggy pants sagging below his underwear, baggy shirt, long chain, etc. Could be the nicest guy in the world but people will immediately form judgments based on his outward appearance. Same holds true for someone who looks "goth" with dark makeup, all black cloths, etc. Hell, same even holds true in the car world...people make judgments based on if you have a loud exhaust, loud music, slammed on chrome wheels, etc.

I could go on and on but tattoos are no different than any other metric by which people use to judge.

Very well said.

Classy, and just the perfect example of what I have been trying to say.

I'm just being an ass. I don't have any tattoos and don't think I' m getting any anytime soon because, "I have a career."

Hey this is getting better and better apparently! Now, fight!

[Vic311]

This is the exact behavior you would expect from people with tattoos.

DISCLAIMER: Relax folks, only a joke. I don't wanna be labeled David Duke again.

i know it's a joke but on a somewhat related note i was thinking a few pages back about how aggressive people get when someone disagrees with them on any topic.

human nature is funny. i like to think it's okay to have a different opinion on things so when i see people get angry, call people names or become aggressive based on differences my ears perk up with interest and out comes the popcorn. haha
