I don't see why you (and others) seem to care. You don't have to get one, nor do you have to be with someone who has one. Your inability to understand why someone would get one is the same at my inability to understand why you (and others) care.

Do you have the same stigma toward piercings? Belly button piercings or nose piercings on women?

The thread is about peoples' opinions on the subject of tattoos. Some people think they are ######ed, and others do not.........

BTW dudes that have nipple rings.................that is mega gay.

Honestly I dont care either way. Aside from watching my friends blow money on them they've have no impact on my life whatsoever. I just think people make rash decisions without realizing this is permanent. For life means for life, not till you're 30 and want to grow up. Peoples mentalities change over time. A tattoo of some album cover may have plenty of meaning now, but in 30 years when no one gets the reference you'll wonder why you bothered.

I have 5 tattoos. I'm getting a 6th soon.

Cheers.

We were doing okay until your post.

Rash decisions, of all types, are usually regretted. Something that is part of ones core fundamental beliefs or memorialize someone of great importance to them, doesnt change nearly as often.

Does your opinion change about them if it's someone who has something very meaningful tattooed on their body that they've thought of for a long time?

I've never had an issue with anything like that. If I lost a loved one tragically I'd probably get one to honor their memory. I'm mostly speaking from the experience of my friends getting them. They get something cool like a car or an album cover or a neat picture and not something truly meaningful that will matter to them years down the road.

Have you actually done this?

If I got the CP logo tattoo'd on my body, would CP pay me for the add space?

When I was a kid we used to go to a snowbird trailer park in Florida to visit my Grandparents. I remember being 10 or 12 and asking all the old people with them what they were ect. I thought they were pretty cool and most of them didnt care for having them anymore.

My old mans paratroop tatoo faded to a color less blob, which is to bad.

Old tatoo's just don't hold up.

I don't judge people with or without tattoos (I might judge them for other stuff, but not tattoos ), but I will say I kind of laugh at people who get a corporate logo tattoo'd on their body. I've personally only seen car logos on guys, but can you imagine Coca-Cola or the McDonald's Golden Arches... permanently on your ass or something? I'm sure someone has it somewhere.

Well, I know I have 85¢ burning a hole in my pocket.

That reminds me of the WORST tattoo I've ever seen.

I swear to god I once saw a dude with a Chevrolet "Bowtie" logo, that was done in barbed wire. Yup, it combined the two dumbest tattoos ever conceived by man.

The best part, and I swear this is true, is that I saw it at the water park at West Edmonton Mall. Yup, if I was gonna bet on where I would see that tattoo, I'd have picked Edmonton, and I'd have been right.

If they had a temporary tattoo that would last a couple a months I might get one. I think it would be fun to have something for the summer.

It's impossible not to.

For me, I prefer to have more control over the way I'm perceived instead of in a way that I think is one dimensional. I can't be summed up in one image on my arm, but people are going to assume I can be if I had that tattoo. I'm not saying you're one-dimensional, either, just that by putting that on your arm, you're a walking billboard advertising you. And you apparently relate very closesly to pumpkins.

Who are these people that judge people by their tattoos? Hopefully not good folks like yourself that want to make the Stampede more Christian.

I peronally think tattoos are dumb and ugly; but I dont judge those with them, just matter of personal opinion.

Is it going to be the word "choke", and the 'C' is going to be the Calgary Flaming C?

Lol. Not a prison tat. An idiotic, drunk, got nothing better to do so I'm gonna let my buddy tat me with his new tat needle- tat.

But he should have gone to prison for being such a dumass and letting his buddy do this.

You DO still have it!!! AWESOME!!
And THIS my friends is an example of a 14 yr old kid getting a tattoo and then regretting it later in life.

If people would put some thought into their tattoo's first, 95% of the time there won't be any regrets later in life.
