Title: Tattoos...A Poll
Post by: Josephus on February 25, 2013, 10:06:46 AM
Just got back from Cuba the other day. At the resort I was at, ,mostly populated by Brits, Canadians and Quebecois, I realized that I am fast becoming a minority. It seems everyone is now sporting tattoos...some seem to have the entire War and Peace, it seems, tattooed on their backs. So my question to Languish is...Do you have tattoos?

Got one when I was 16 and "regret" is probably too strong a word, but if I could do it all over again I wouldn't have gotten it.  Don't really care enough to get it removed as it's not readily visible (inside forearm) but definitely wouldn't do it again.

So no.

That's oh so very true for many people. I still remember vividly how a few years ago some guy in his early 20s in a geeky bar I frequently attend proudly showed his buddies a huge tattoo on his back of some kind of Warhammer crap. I wonder what he'll think about it when he's in his 40s.

A friend of mine has an awesome tattoo of the fallout guy on his shoulder. Hopefully that's something that will never grow old.

The kind of thing I probally would have got when I was 16 would be some stupid Japanese writing which I didn't really know the meaning of. :bleeding:

Yeah, a badly photoshopped picture of a girl with 'water' written on her arm.
Its not quite a comparable situation though really, Chinese writing has this whole thing of caligraphy, lots of characters having deeper meanings, etc....
I dunno about the Chinese but you do sometimes get Japanese people with dodgy English phrases tattooed on themselves. Not too common though since tattooing is tabboo.

There was a real article in the Telegraph about this a while back.

QuoteZhang Aiping, a tattooist at Tattoo 108 in Shanghai, said: "Around 30 per cent to 40 per cent of our customers are choosing tattoos in English letters now. This has happened really suddenly, since the beginning of this year.
"I just did one a few days ago for a footballer at Shanghai Shenhua club. It said: 'I miss u forever'."

Yes, I have three - all closing in on 20 years old.  I don't even think about them anymore.  Ink is just kind of "meh" to me anymore, like pierced ears.  Every now & then I'll see something that I'll kind of like (Tramp Stamp or other "somewhate naughty" place on a quasi-attractive female) or kind of dislike (neck, face), but ultimately tattoos have slipped to about #1,237 on my Give A Flying Fuck List.  It's been Done, time to move on to Other Things...
