Poll: Do you have a tattoo?

CherylNYC · 01-21-2018, 10:40 PM

Nope. No ink.

I was just gathering the courage to find out what it's like to have a tattoo ('cause the notion of needles in my skin lots doesn't appeal, but something pretty on the skin does) when I got put on blood thinners, and that''s game over for getting tatooed. I had in mind cherry blossom up my right arm, and a cute dragon on my left shoulder. Might see if one of those places that does transfers that stick to your skin can make something for me, one day.

I want another one now but dont have the money....le sigh.

Do people with those back pieces stand with their backs to a mirror holding a hand mirror so they can admire the piece or even be reassured that it's still there?

I'm seeing masses and masses of what I call "wallpaper" tattoos on kids these days and endless cultural appropriations almost always meaningless to the bearer.

I've taken to giving extreme advice: if you want a prison tat, go to prison first.

How can I explain to you the unexplainable? I knew a girl of 17 who for her own reasons..designed an elf girl in chains ..it took her a year to finish..tattoos are imprints..meaningful to the bearer and unexplainable to those who may catch a glimpse of them and wonder...it is not meant for you to see and yet if you do, consider yourself privileged..wonder about it's mystical connection to the bearer..do not allow yourself to dwell on mean themes but instead at least celebrate that in this day and age..the young have the freedom to express themselves and their magic however they choose

it's beautiful

I do have tattoos. I'm currently charging a viewing fee of $5 per tat or $13 for the whole show.

I've had tats for about 30 years. They are quite explainable.

VintageFemme · 03-19-2018, 06:02 AM

Mhmmmm I do.

Nope, no tats.

Several piercings, though.
