Funny thing about ppl who get tats and what they put on, really shows you what's "inside" alien. A tat can show someone's inner demons, tastes (artistically), wishes or just about anything. For eg: I watch Miami Ink occasionally to see what they're up to and I've noticed a lot of diverse ppl getting really diverse images put on their body....forever.
Sorry, but tramp stamps are C H E E S Y to the max. Just like at one time, polyester double knit leisure suits were fashionable but if you see someone wearing one, in orange plaid, with a comb over, well, you get my drift.
IMO, if someone has a sleeve, or a full back tat, that tells a story, or represents milestones in their life, that's one thing. But if you have a woman who puts swords, dragons, serpents and the like on themselves, yet are as meek as a kitten, well, you get my drift. Or the dweeb or gets a band of barb wire around their arm to be "cool".
THE worst IMO is when you tattoo your current love interest's name somewhere to signify how your "love will last forever" and 2 yrs later you're getting it covered up or removed. (aka Billy Bob and Angelina). Sorry, that's just lame.
I wholeheartedly agree that if you get a tat signifying a milestone in your life, like beating cancer, proving you are innocent when you're falsely accused, I can see and totally understand that.
I guess why I feel so strongly about tats is one time I met a chick from telepersonals (pre-curser to lavalife) and she was telling me about her squirrel tattoo on her chest. I was all like, hey that's probably pretty cute since she was a tiny little thing. So we meet for a drink, seem to hit it off and then she says "wanna see my squirrel"? (yeah I wasn't thinking tattoos when she said that lol) and I say ok sure: so she opens her blouse and this fucking HUMONGOUS squirrel is stiting there running from her throat, over to the other side of her left boob and down below her boob. I swear, it looked like one of those hunting stickers you used to be able to buy at Canadian TIre and you see on the back of hunting pickups. Sorry, she totally ruined what was a nice body with this fucking thing. I mean, I look up while going down on her and all I see is that fucking ugly squirrel.
I may be shallow, but her getting that ugly thing put on her body speaks volumes about choices she made, and will make. The funny thing about it? she was actually PROUD of it.....
