Tattoos...A Poll

[Pedrito]

No tattoos, but I don't abhor them.

if I'd got one 10 years ago I would have picked something i now find to be horribly lame and embarassing. I see no reason to think the same wouldn't hold true 10 years from now if I got one today.
So no.

[Razgovory]

Yes, two tattoos.

Lemme guess:  "MIDLIFE" on one bicep and "CRISIS" on the other?   

I got both while still a teenager, so no

"DEUS" on the right knuckles and "VULT" on the left?

[fhdz]

"DEUS" on the right knuckles and "VULT" on the left?

God, I wish.

[Eddie Teach]

"DEUS" on the right knuckles and "VULT" on the left?

God, I wish.

"DEUS" and "VULT" on your lower back?

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.

She needs to be clubbed over the head and carried off to someone's cave.

Preferably mine.

[Grey Fox]

btw, who's that?

[Iormlund]

Google says: Leighton Meester. Saw her on House and Entourage IIRC.

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.

[Caliga]

My sister in law got Chinese characters on the insides of her wrists.

I joke that the left one translates to "stupid" and the right one to "slut".

[Josephus]

Do Chinese people tattoo English words on their bodies, I wonder?

I saw a joke article about that once in The Onion or something like that.

[Josquius]

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.
