Facial tattoos...

Only idiots get facial tattoos.

This thread really made me think about how we measure success. That usually brings to mind big power, big money, corporate/hospital/legal high level jobs which of course require you to be fairly conservative. Then I think about Mark Z and his hoodie obsession and I'm sure there are other companies/industries out there where you can be more of a free spirit. But as someone else pointed out, we are still a very conservative society as a whole (USA, that is) and part of that is due to our comparitively young age and history. I've seen tats and piercings become much more accepted, just in the last 10 years or so but facial and hand tats are still seen as fairly extreme. #braindump

I could see getting a neck or behind the ear tat, at least for women. You can cover those pretty easily with long enough hair and then pull it up when you want to show them. My tats are both on my back - very easily hidden and only peak out if I wear certain things but no one (besides my folks) has every said an unkind word about them to me.

you probably own khakis don't you

problem?

am i suppose to find him appealing?

If you want? The pic was a response to your comment about the khakis being something only a vanilla person would wear.

LOL, I so agree on the khakis sentiment, unless it's cargo khakis combined with a Combichrist shirt and some combat boots. Sprinkle in some tattoos and phew, I'll sit in this corner fanning myself, lol.

Yeah, I have to agree about those pat statements. I don't like them. OK sometimes they may apply but it only works if one actually KNOWS what the other person is like.

It's like me asking the person with the adorable hamster picture if they are a 12 year old girl. (I LOVE THAT HAMSTER LICKING THE GLASS PIC, BY THE WAY)

I used to date this guy and his buddy's girlfriend had vampire teeth capped over her eye teeth and had a blood drop tattooed under her bottom lip. I judged. I am still judging.

um... what is/are eye teeth?!? Should I be afraid??

I worked as a CSR for a vet too. When I was hired they told me right away I had to take my lip ring out at work and I was okay with that. After about 2 weeks working there I was then told that my blue nail polish (which matched my scrubs) made the clients uncormfortable. It was just blue, no bling or anything crazy.

So for some reason I had to take my nail polish off but it was okay for another girl who worked mainly in the back but came up to the front go pick up/deliver the animals multiple times a day to have huge gages, visable tattoos, several facail peircings, and half her head shaved.

I don't work there anymore. I work with sailors/retired sailors and no one cares about my visable tattoos, let alone what color I paint my nails.

Now see. I couldn't work for someone who didn't like blue nail polish. That's just crazy.

hahahaha!

Eye teeth are are those superfluous teeth that grow over your canines (the teeth that would be sharp if we were wild animals)

I think they are actually your canines as well.

I don't judge people with facial tattoos. I just wonder how they make a living . . .

I've thought of this too until I met a guy that used to come into work all the time a few years back. He has his head shaved and has tattoos all over his head and face. Unsurprisingly, he owns a local tattoo/piercing shop. Anyway, he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met (his wife is very sweet too) and he his an amazing father from what I saw, though I can't help but watch in disgust as other people (ones that don't know him) look at him like he is the scum of the earth, just because he has tattoos above the neck. If those people had kids, sometimes they would grab their kid's arm and pull them down an aisle just so they wouldn't have to walk by him... I guess they thought he was carrying the plague or something embedded in the ink.

Five Fingers....
Skinny Jeans....
Cauliflower is my favorite veggie....

OMG "skinny jeans." I totally get you.

No shame in my game!

The great Brian Setzer once said,' My daddy told me to never get a tattoo you can't cover up with a suit in front of a judge or you'll already be guilty.' I'd like to think I've done well following this idea

This is my exact philosophy. Also, I can't have my tattoos showing as a teacher. It's just a bad idea. They are all easy to cover up.

I judge people who claim they don't judge people based on appearances.

The most judge-able thing about me is that I wear jeans and a unicolor t-shirt, all day, erryday.

ETA:
As for facial tattoos, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. You're welcome.
