Tattoo's??
 

Well I am going for my very first Tattoo on saturday!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I was thinking of a nice little one on my big toe....a lady bird.

BUT!! I'm not sure now!!! do i want it on my toe or do I go the whole hog and get something really nice on my shoulder blade??

Do you have any and where ?? :D:D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Butterfly (sort of a celtic design) on my ankle.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

yes a big alex on my back but i think youve seen it

Re: Tattoo's??
 

yeah I have seen that one. My mate is coming with me ( to hold my hand ):rolleyes:

She has 4 and she wants another one doing. Now I am shi""ing bricks about it, but the way I see is, my mate is a southern softy and ginger had 2 done in the same day and he is the biggest soft arse I have ever met........ME IS THINKING I WILL COPE!!!! :D:D:D:D;)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Re: Tattoo's??
 

It's not that bad. Admittedly, it does hurt but not in a terrible painful way, more in a scratchy way!

I probably won't have anymore but I love the one I've got. You'll be fine, go for it.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I couldnt have a tattoo - simple reason if i didnt like it or 10 years down the line i didnt want it the only way to get rid of it is laser treatment.

My neighbours daughter had a rose done on the small of her back. It looks alright.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

start panakin now get your addrenalin going to ease the pain ........only jokin you will be fine its not that bad so what u havin done then?

Re: Tattoo's??
 

CHEERS Gayle :D:D:D:D no I am gonna brave it, and I think if I am gonna brave it I really have to go the whole hog and get a pretty one on my back!!

OMG YOU SILLY GIRL SLINKS :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I wondered about that too so got mine in a place where I could hide it if I needed to.:)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I have thought about it too.... so I am gonna go for a descreet place!!!!!

Forehead!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

no seriously somewhere where I can hide it from my mum :o...... but where I can't see it either!!! then I don't know it's there...:D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Why have a tattoo done if you cant see it and show it off then? Why waste your money!!!

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Because special people will be able to see it !!! :eek::p

Re: Tattoo's??
 

lmao what kind of special people ?? just kiddin slinky never had one done but as i got older always fancied gettin a small rose or something but still havent plucked up the courage haha im sure you,ll be ok just hit the vodka beforehand without tellin your friend then she will think your really brave , good luck

Re: Tattoo's??
 

LMAO I have told her in no uncertain terms that....

NO 1) I will need to visit the pub for a while.............

No 2) <<<<< exactly :D

and she must never ever tell anyone if I pass out. I made her sign a contract that states whatever happens she must repeat these words

"" she said ... omg is that it, i was expecting a little bit of pain but that was nothing, I will be back next week for another""..............:D:D:D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

slinks, listen to uncle cashy. don't have one. but if you do have one thats not clearly visible. cos when you get an owd git like me. YOU REGRET IT. i have loads some on my hands which i thought where pretty cool 40 years ago, now with age the bloody things look a mess. i am having laser treatment at the moment to remove them from my hands,and its bloody expensive lol but serve me right for having em on. think long term and hard about it. best of luck.;)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Thanks uncle cashy :D I have thought about it, and it will be easily hidden if I want it to be. I wouldn't ever have names, unless it was my childrens names, because i know they are the only perminent thing in my life.

Still don't know what to have done!!! we''ll see :D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I'd never have one, but they fascinate me. I've even got books about them. It's the ultimate fashion statement I suppose.


Having met you Slinks I think you have the b*llocks to carry off a little discrete facial tattoo.:D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

You know what!!! I was thinking that too............:rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Thanks for thinking about me Slinky, when will I be able to view the artform your body will become ;)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

As soon as I pluck up the courage to show my arse at the next Accyweb meet I suppose.............:rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

You brought you big little sis with you at the last one :D :D :D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Exactly my arse........i might bring her to show you next time too if she's a good girl...:D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

That bribe I gave the BT broadband engineer to keep her offline for as long as possible is the best £20 I have spent in ages.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: you paid 20 pound too?? ffs :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Thats £40 quid he had out of us. She had better be off for a long time or my foot will be getting stuck up his BT socket :D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

crikey rindy I think thats the bloke we saw in clitheroe today!!!

I have a celtic knot at the top of my right cheek yes the lower cheek, lol

I had it there so I knew it was there but as you said slinks just so I could show it when I wanted to :p and so my Mum wouldn't see it, lol. then one of my kids dobbed me in...and what did she say???...??

"Whats the point in having it if it's not on show" Grrr you just can't win sometimes :rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

maybe I have a weird mind , but whenever I see a tattoo I always imagine it back-lit by a 100 watt light bulb.

my advice , don't do it girl

Re: Tattoo's??
 

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????

You don't collect things like lampshades that were covered in skin made from the victims of the Holocaust?

Sadly and seriously people do.

(A 100 watt is too strong for a lamp though.:D)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I've got three tattoo's. I don't regret any of them, but they can all be covered up.

Have you seen the episode of "Friends"? The one where Pheobe get a little tiny dot & says that it's the earth viewed from millions of miles away.

Hillarious.

:)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

NO , certainly not , its just a thing that has stuck in my mind from being a youngster in the 50's when we were subjected to all the post war propaganda about how the bad the Germans and Japanese were.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I knew you wouldn't have, but what you posted just painted this weird picture in my mind.:)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Which is not very difficult usually.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

ok, dont want to cause any offense to anyone , I'm of an age where sailors have tattoos and maybe people of various ethnic groups where it is part of the culture e.g. Maoris in New Zealand , I'm sorry but when I see some "anglo" with a tribal tattoo it just seems out of place in my mind , bit like a white guy/gal with dredlocks , or Brits wearing leather clothes , Germans can wear leather ok , but Brits can't carry the look . just an observation .

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Don't do it, don't ruin your body, it will look even worse in ten years than it will when it's first done. Can't understand you girls wanting something permannet like that, you wouldn't wear the same clothes for the rest of your life, so why have the same 'painting' for the rest of your life. They look vile when wrinkley. Nearly everybody has them, they all have them in the same places, and usually one of a few designs. They say they have it because it looks good, in their opinion, but they have it done for themselves, even though they can't see it if it's on a shoulderblade.

Stealjack it seems that anyone who doesn't like tattoos these days is considered to be offensive.
That said I did find the little tattoo my very refined ex had a bit of a turn on, gave her that bit of a rebel slut look to contrast.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Slinks, if you promise me that you will not go ahead with this silly escapade, I promise you I will buy you a pint of lager and a bag of cheese & onion crisps at the next Accy web meet.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Why don't you go and have your tounge pierced at least then you can take it out when you want and its not there permanently!

I cant really say owt i have both!!

Its your life your body and your certainly old enough to make up your own mind now. Go for it girl if thats what you want.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

:camera8: Right Slinky the camera is ready just tell me where and when your having it done and i will be there to take the pics for you.:camera8:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Slinky, I think you should go for it, I have a small rose on my shoulder blade, its been there for 15 years now and I still dont regret it, I agree with Gayle its a scratchy kind of pain, not too bad at all. I would get it where it can be covered though and make sure the artist that does it is good at his/her job, mine is still as neat as the day it was done, dont have it done on any body part that sags!

Re: Tattoo's??
 

If you really want one you will go ahead and get one, that is your choice.

Just don't use this bloke that was talked about in another topic on here, you will end up with something unique but will regret it for a long time!;)

Do we pay Teachers to much in Accrington!!!!!

Re: Tattoo's??
 

No.....I wouldn't ever be tattoo'd..........I don't really like to see them on ladies...however discreet they are........I always think of an 80 year old lady with a tattoo'd lower back/bum/shoulder/ankle....and it doesn't look good....but hey it's only a personal opinion.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I've never been tattooed but I do have a piercing (at least it can be removed painlessly and free). I have to agree that tattoos look disgusting on old ladies so don't go for a body part that will sag.

I've also seen several young ladies who have small tasteful tattoos on their bellys. The only problem with this is that they stretch in pregnancy and look horrendous. I knew a young lass who had a small snake tattooed around her navel. It looked like an Anaconda when she got pregnant.....Yuk!!!:eek:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Yeh, you right Margaret, when older have to stretch the skin to see what it was :D

Aren't there some tattoos now that only last a certain amount of time ? .. that could be a compromise.

Gayle: Humph .. discreet place on yer ankle ? .. remember the recent play where we had nightmares in the dressing room on how to disguise this body marking 'cause ladies didn't have them during the 2nd world war. :D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

when u have a tattoo done it kind of burns i have 2 one on my arm and a shooting star on my ankle

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Bit of a problem there!!! I have my tongue done, belly button done and my lower lip done...............:rolleyes:

Re: Tattoo's??
 

How do you tell the difference? Busman got a gorgeous leather jacket when we were in Tunisia.

:D Thanks for reminding me of that. The look on that poor lass's face!

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I can't say anything has I have had a tattoo since I was 16. It's on my thigh so it's covered up most of the time.
I would rather see a nice tasteful tattoo on a woman than those awful piercings.
It doesn't hurt to much having my ears pierced hurt more than the tattoo.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Sorry about this, but being slightly old-fashioned like in some areas :rolleyes: I think on a woman they are rather tarty and smutty >>> Ok I'm ducking.
Tell me the truth you gentlemen of Accyweb, are they sexy ? If so, get me an appointment tomorrow. :D

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I think I must be old fashioned too.....I don't like tattoo's or piercings......other than pierced ears. I think some of the facial piercings are fierce.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Yep, I agree wholeheartedly - why do you think I have one?

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I thought this was about Military Tattoo's until I read the thread.

Never had a tatoo but I am concidering getting my Clan Badge one done.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

I've got 3 children. They all have tattoos. My elder daughter is 42 and she recently had her first one, a rose on her shoulder. My son is 41 and plays guitar in 2 bands. He has a rather complicated skull-in-a-rose design on his shoulder - he designed it himself. My younger daughter is 30. She has a rose on her shoulder and one on her ankle. She also has a chinese symbol on her thigh. She had it done after my husband died, when she was 20, and it says, we hope, "dad", though for all we know it may say f*** off in Cantonese.

The only thing I've said, to my daughters in particular, is that with age skin dries and tends to wrinkle - it's inevitable no matter what - and when they're in their 70s they may both have a few withered roses knocking about.

I have pierced ears and it's as far as I could ever go. My younger daughter has 6 piercings in each ear and a pierced nose, in which she wears a stud. Sounds funny when she's a Brown Owl but, somehow, she doesn't look "out of place" and they are quite discreet. I would never have a tattoo, it's just not ME, but it's fashionable just now and becoming very common-place.

Each to his own, I suppose.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Interestingly it was the Royal family and the nobility, besides Jolly Jack Tars, who made tattoos fashionable in the

West.http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tattooed_royalty.htm

Re: Tattoo's??
 

not really. I've had loads of arguments about this and lost many a friend over it.
This is a very rare ocassion that I've been able to discuss this sensibly without it getting into an argument, mayb because I've held back, but I think mostly because of the sensible way you've approached the subject. Maybe thats down to the varied views here, rather than the majority being in favoutrof tattoos.

What winds me up, is that you get some youngster come on chat, a forum, in the pub, bragging that they've had a tattoo. suddenly everybody else is having one because they are. It comes across that they are only wanting one because someone else has got one so they want one. Not because they have thought it through, all the implications, do they really want it , what will it look like in ## years, where should I have it, do I design it myself. It's just a spur of the moment thing. I know I always mention her, but this is what my ex did and it was one of the things she hated about herself. I grew to quite like it though. If you're going to have one think it through, remember it's permanent, think about where it's going, do you want to be able to cover it, don't have it where the skin can stretch.

If someone thinks it through and still wants it good luck to them, at least they are aware of their actions and the consequences.

I think despite rarely admiting it that some small ones can look quite sexy.a rose on the shoulder, ankle, arm.
I hate to see tattoos on girls boobs, I once had a date with a girl and she had seven large ones one was on her boob, arm leg, vile yuk. not even well done or feminine, the boob one was a devil in childish cartoon colours.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Okay katex, since you asked. Tattoo's are not very popular with any of my friends or family (either girls or guys). That kinda goes for the more radical piercings. I don't know if I run in too much of a conservative crowd or maybe it's more a cultural thing. Back home in Rhode Island (the NorthEast) lots of the Itlaian guys would have em.

I think they're kinda cool. Heck I even think a guy with the right earring can look pretty cool also (must be the Pirate in me).

For ladies, I think the ones on the ankles are usually very nice (sexy). (Please don't let Cinnyose or Annie know this) . . . . hmmm, maybe letting Cindy know would be kinda neat but she passes out at the first sight of a needle!

Good Luck with your decision Slinky!!:)

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Yes Slinky....good luck for tomorrow. Hope you like what you get.

Re: Tattoo's??
 

Well I am still tattooless :D

yesterday I gave it a great deal of thought. And decided I will wait.

They are too perminent for me. I didn't fancy having it done in Accy either because the tattooists aren't reallly that good, or clean looking.

I'm not sure what design I want either, so I could have ended up with something I really regretted later on. Like people have said, peircings can just be taken out when you have had enough. And I am known for getting fed up with things easily, as I have had my belly button pierced, tongue, lip and ears done, but I am sat here without ANY of them in :rolleyes:

SOOOOOOO Tleaf you owe me a pint :D
