No tattoo in the history of mankind has ever in any capacity looked anything close to good on any human being anywhere.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I was freaking out right before, I thought I would run away screaming of pain, but while she was doing it I wanted to laugh so much! It tickled like hell ^__^
BTW! Love this thread! This is my first of.... 21 tattoos I have planned to get.
Your references about the struggles of the ghetto always make me giggle. :yellowkinOriginally Posted by Old Manus
Nah don't have one as of yet, but I do want one. It will take the form of four vertical lines of lyrics from 2Pac going down my right calf. Wise or not? Who cares. I'll probably not get it done though due to laziness.

So all the peoples for whom tattooing is some rite of passage etc cultural thing aren't human beings? Or are you just superimposing your view onto an entire species again
Tattoos can look very good on some people, it depends on the person, their body and the design they choose and how good the artist is.
For example I know someone who has got a sleeve of vines and flowers on her arm. I know, she knows, the artist who done the work knows and a couple of our friends who helped make the design know what it hides underneath but it looks fantastic and has restored my friends confidence in wearing short sleeved or sleeveless tops. I don't even think her current fella knows what is under the ink but thats how it goes sometimes.
I don't have any ink or holes yet, not even an ear piercing. I want some inkwork more than I want the idea of a piercing however it's a question of what I would like. I respect the decision of people such as Bastian to get stuff like game art done however I'm not sure even though I'm a huge games fan myself if there is anything I could have done small enough that would actually look good and feel right to me. For example I could but probably wouldn't go for something like a ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence from Halo universe) logo even though I am a huge fan of the Halo games same goes with stuff like a brotherhood of steel logo or a cogtag from gears of war hell count Griever from FFVIII on this list too. I would however consider something like the pendant depicted on the character of Ashley from Vagrant Story (as a back piece) or the huge cross symbol on Merlose's back. Equally cool to get would be something based along the lines of the Will user markings from Fable 2. However when I am older and grey and wrinkly would I look at the inkwork of a games logo or something with a clear gaming reference (at least to me) and think that was a wise choice? Then again considering some of the more common designs out there are disturbingly enough something I wouldn't want either (penises penetrating hearts anyone?) I may as well go for it, having something like the examples of stuff I could but probably wouldn't go for has to be better than that.
That's not what he's saying at all. He's saying they're human, just ugly humans.So all the peoples for whom tattooing is some rite of passage etc cultural thing aren't human beings? Or are you just superimposing your view onto an entire species again
Anyway, I'm not planning on any tattoos, but my sister has a bunch that I quite like. :3
I'm pretty sure some of them consider each other to be beautiful; there's gotta be a reason they keep mating. Clearly, they are beautiful. So then the question is like I said, are they not human or is he making a ridiculous generalization?
He was stating his opinion in a way humans often state their opinions. "McDonalds is disgusting", for example.
O_O he's pregnant too!! Congrats guy in the picture!
The artwork is great but the guy himself is not beautiful at all.
People who are all "how could you ever scar your body forever" or even "I have to think about it forever and then really really want it so I don't change my mind I don't want to regret it" don't understand half the point of getting a tattoo, and they never will understand.

When I was younger, I would use a utility knife to (gently) carve my name in my arm. I had to get all sorts of counseling for that... but the thing is, I didn’t really hate myself, I was just too poor to afford temporary tattoos (and my name is easy to write with straight lines).
And yet if the image Moon Rabbits posted was the inkwork on some muscle bound body builder whose face was strong jawed, high cheek boned and generally good looking we would be saying that the guy is an attractive guy with great body art. Again there are good looking people in all walks of life, with body art, piercings and so on. I mean look here:
Her inkwork is pretty damn decent, the shadings are beautiful and the lines true and sharp the design is quite complex whilst still retaining a simplicity that is pleasing. Oh and the first person to say she's ugly gets a free eyetest from a rusty screwdriver. So what we have here is a beautiful woman with a very nice looking tattoo. I have thus disproved Capt Maxx Power's original statement and any other statements concurring with his. Yes there is a disproportionate amount of good looking - bad looking people in this world with tattoos, but then when you consider this: theres around 6 billion people on the globe, if every single one of them was attractive by our standards then 1) population boost would be immense and 2) actually it wouldn't because in their eyes there would still be a distinction of ugly and beautiful it's in our nature to rate the asthetics of another person. Generally what we consider to be beautiful is something that if you go down the line leads back to one thing and one thing alone, procreation the creating of more life. We are after all just animals ourselves. Therefore there will always be good looking and ugly people with inkwork and piercings it is merely in the eye of the beholder what constitutes what.
The point of a tattoo is to make a permanent mark on your own body which may go so far as to influence your career options on a whim?
I'd like a tatoo, probably a small one. The thing is I'm planning on working in Japanese interpreting and in Japan tatooed people are stereotyped as thugs because of the Yakuza
