Tatoos on females

I just love how a couple people have alluded to tatoo's being a fad.... Tattoo's have been around for YEARS! In many cultures they are considered to be a sign of high status, and have been that way for YEARS.

If tattoo's are a fad, then they are the longest running, most successful fad I have ever encountered.

As for getting tattoo's because you lack anything.... everyone has a preference, and trying to say that because I have tattoo's makes me less of a person, or a broken person... That is very sad, and very telling about you, Judgy-McJudgerton!

I have very deep meaning for each one of my tattoo's, and the others I have planned are the same. The majority of the people I know that have them are the same. Have you ever heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover"? By being judgemental and close-minded, you miss out on getting to know amazing people, and that is a real shame! However, keep wearing your blinders, and miss out on the opportunity to know great people.

Indeed. I hate looking around me and seeing what looks like the cast of a “Genghis Kahn” movie. I hate seeing people who are emotionally scarred and deeply disturbed being taken advantage of by yet another money making trend. But mostly, I hate seeing people thinking that their outward appearance can somehow make up for their lack of personality. I believe that most people who get tattooed today simply want acceptance and attention and, in their desperation, have had to resort to mutilating themselves. Tattoos are a cry for help. A Band-Aid on a deep seeded emotion and/or mental breakdown. I would suggest looking for a way to appreciate yourself as you are rather than trying to hide behind lame artwork and inane symbolism.

I love the money making "trend".... lol, as if our generation came up with this new-fangled concept of ink to body.

I don't mind some classy ones here and there, but the ones with full arms, neck back, chest is just disgusting and not to mention it looks retarded.

Perfect example; Left= hot, Right = disgusting.

Well aren't you a lovely person... :noway:

I bet many people could think of many ways to describe you, luckily people have the common decency to keep their mouths shut.

I really don't give sh1t what you or other people say about me. Maybe that's the difference between me and the rest of the world.

Wow, yes you entitled to your opinion but the use of the term "retarded" as a derogatory term/description or plain insult reveals just how small minded you truly are.

Maybe it is time to reevaluate the way you communicate and perhaps your judgmental views on the world.

There are A LOT of people on here with children,siblings and friends who have Down Syndrome or intellectual disabilities and you my friend have no doubt offended them all to some degree.

Grow up or shut up!

My mom will be 60 in January. Doesn't even look close to being 60. I think she is beautiful.

Do a search in any city in north america of how many tattoo shops there were 20 years ago vs today. I bet it's up 500%. That's a fad.

Right back at you cupcake.

Judging by your profile picture, one could tell you lack class so your assertion that you love a money making "trend" is not surprising.

No thanks. In my humble opinion, there is really nothing outside good diet and exercise that can improve the female form. It would be like hanging Motley Crue posters in the Taj Mahal, pointless and detracting from the real work of art.

Good design does not need adornment.

Whatever floats your boat. However, tats in general are so ubiquitous at this point, they don't even catch my eye. I am also seeing more and more ads for tat removal. I think this will be a growing market.

Tattoos are so trashy. I like to keep my temple pure.

This. Why try to cover up a masterpiece??

What if we're not a masterpiece, what if we're more like...a velvet poster of a whale humping a dolphin? Is it ok to get tattoos then?

A whale humping a dolphin? Brilliant!

ˈtempəl/
noun
noun: temple; plural noun: temples
1. a building devoted to the worship, or regarded as the dwelling place, of a god or gods or other objects of religious reverence.

The Sistine Chapel is a large and renowned chapel of the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope in the Vatican City. Originally known as the Cappella Magna, the chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV, who restored it between 1477 and 1480. Since that time, the chapel has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity.
Between 1508 and 1512, under the patronage of Pope Julius II, Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling, a masterpiece without precedent, that was to change the course of Western art.


I rest my case. LOL

There's no reason to make it worse for yourself though, is there? Show me ONE 60 year old tattoo on an 80 year old that doesn't look like absolute trashy crap, and I'll shut up. If that's cool with you, and you don't mind grossing out your grandchildren every time you sunbathe, I guess that's ok. No judgement, I suppose there are worse things you can do to yourself, like smoke meth. For myself I'll pass, though.

Since mine were all researched and planned and well thought out, I think my grandkids will be proud to know I embrace my Hawaiian heritage, honored my uncle, tested negative for Huntington's disease and love my children. I don't judge those who have or don't have them. I also believe I'm pretty classy.

I always find it so amusing how some people who don't like tattoos allow themselves to get so offended and disgusted and riled up by this thing that has absolutely nothing to do with them.

But it's the tattooed folks that have issues? I think not.

First off, when my grandkids see me, it isn't going to be jaw dropping shocker to see grandma with tattoos. It will be the norm for that generation. And secondly, I can give a rats *kitten* what my grandkids think of my tats. These tattoos were for ME not for anyone else. My kids love them and I'm sure they will teach their kids to love or at least respect people who has them and not be a judgmental moron.

If it was for YOU, then why did you decide to put it under your face for the entire world to see?

I love tattoos. They are artwork. Mine each mean something special to me. My husband and I are gonna love each other just the same with our 60 year old possibly sagging tattoos. Hell, everything else will be sagging too ... it's bound to happen eventually, and no one else has to look at any of it ever if it bothers them.

I have many and plan to get many more! When I am 60, 70, 80 I will be a kick *kitten* old lady that lived and enjoyed her life and regrets nothing. For those who don't like it don't fvcken look and moooove on!
