tattoos & body piercing

[mark barker]

I've thought about having a tattoo for ages now... even went to the trouble of designing my own. I doubt I'll ever get around to having it done though, my wimp side wins everytime!

Come on Ian, show us your tats. I know you got so many you could be an extra for a mob film which involves the Yakuza.

Tattood arms and chest...

used to have four piercings in each ear + one stretched to 10mm all now out and hole pretty much closed..
had eyebrow and lip pierced, both taken out...

now just a tongue piercing that i have in.


I loved piercings when I was a teen, dont interest me no more though, wouldnt say i regret it but wouldnt do them again.

Yup, it's a fashion that will pass

... except that tattooing has been around for at least 12,000 years.

Yes but that's been for cultural or tribal reasons.

I have a theory about current fashions for tatoos, that once a critical mass is reached younger people won't want them any more because it will be seen as something that 'old' people have.

Tatts? Not for me. Don't like them. If a.n.other person wishes to get one or more, than that's entirely up to them, apart from one person (see below).

Personally, I think human skin is beautiful au naturel. Tatts look *horrible* when they are old. They make look all very lovely when first done, but thirty years down the line they fade, blur and are a mess IMO.

WCMnr has been told that if he ever, but ever gets tatts, he'll be breaking my heart: and I mean it.

If I ever want a tatt, there's always temporary ones which wash off. Much more sensible.

Watch it.....

Me - too chicken.......hate needles...........

I'm speaking from personal experience here. I must be the most boring man on the planet.

For my ha'penny worth, tattoos are not for me, however I know so many people who have them and after a while it becomes part of them, so much so that you couldn't imagine them not having one. If you see what I mean. It's a personal choice at the end of the day.

Not a lover of piercings though. I suppose they are largely reversible, except the ear stretchy doobris. There's going to be a few men wishing they were Amazonian Indians when they are older.

Now why didn't I think of that as a way to put it........

I've been called worse

Isn't a forum for opinions? It would be pretty boring if we all agreed on everything.

Anyway Wafflycat expressed my feelings on the subject far better that I could have. Sorry for causing offence. That's my last word on the subject.

Quite a few of my family members have them, but they've never interested me.

Isn't the latest "thing" branding - where they burn you with heated metal?

Each to their own, but why?

Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, but keep it civil please!!

Thanks,

Same here, I don't have any tattoos and personally I don't like them, but each to his own. The only one I've seen that I've liked was on a guy on the beach on holiday, across the top of his left shoulder was what look like his blood group O Rh +ve.
