Tattoos

I love me tats :)

You forgot "I have them, and I don't care whether or not you get any."

haha, that's good. I wouldn't necessarily recommend unless someone also wanted one. Also I don't consider it body art. I need a new one. It's about three years now. . .

That's the thing for me, too. I never recommend that anyone else get one -- it's a personal choice, and I really don't care if anyone else gets one.

"I have them, and I don't care whether or not you get any."

Bingo.

Imagine what you'll look like when you're old and wrinkly?

You'll look old and wrinkly regardless of whether you have a tattoo! Also, tattoo comparison in the nursing home will be a fun activity of the future.

xxpost

I've gotten to where I don't even like people asking about mine, what they mean etc. I used to like talking about them but they are really personal and I don't like dissecting it for strangers. I usually try to give a generic answer but sometimes they keep pushing for more and more detail. I should start making up random shit.

Yeah when I get old and wrinkly most of my peers will also have old and wrinkly tattoos. who cares?

lol @ the idea that i'm going to even make it to old and wrinkly

I don't think I can vote in this poll. I don't have them and don't care whether or not you get any. I probably won't get one because I am afraid of Teh Pain. Also can't think of an image that I want on me permanently. That being said, I do have a scar on my back I'd like to cover...

(ha, but covering a scar might not be so easy, as Ally instructed me on Satuday night!)

I'd never get one but I like tasteful ones on others

some people pull them off! they would look reallly bad on me because i am too much of a nerd.

HAHAHA i was just about to post an explanation of why covering scars sometimes doesn't work, thank god someone remembers anything i said saturday :D

Teh Pain is not worse than childbirth, Sara... if that helps. (I judge everything by that now... "well, it hurts less than having a baby...")

xpost I only wish I could have stayed to hear/see the rest of the party!

luna - okay, but how MUCH less...???

have a tattoo, mildly amused by it, mostly dont like tattoos, dont care if others get them

I think that's a very good measure Luna. (not that I've experienced it but I'm sure it's useful if you have.)

I kind of enjoy the pain. For one it cements the connection you have to the tattoo and what it represents in your life. Only my first tattoo was a random "oh that's pretty" one. The other seven are permanent reminders of events/things/people that are very important to me. The pain of getting it etches in this importance and makes it almost spiritual.

Sorry for getting almost "body art" on you there.

Lots less, Sara. For me it was kind of like an extended cat scratch (and it also depends on where you get it.) It hurts, yeah, but not as much as the needle for the epidural did (I don't know if you had one, but that, for me, was the defining moment of pain in my life.) Also hurts less than breaking your arm.

I have one and I like it but I would never call it "body art"

I can't wait until octogenarians with tramp stamps are a common sight.

Ok, please explain - what *is* a tramp stamp?

LOL

Actually I find the needle is not really the most hurty part. It's when they wipe the blood off with a towel. Your skin is raw and bleeding and it's like they're scraping you with sandpaper. *That* sucks.

tramp stamp also = cum catcher

kind of like an extended cat scratch

That's exactly what my sister said!

For me contractions were way more painful than the needle for the epidural. I think they gave me something to try to numb that needle, though and it still hurt - just less than contractions. Breaking my arm didn't bother me at all! (Also, I think I have easy labors.)

Sam, thanks for the explanation. Not too "body art." ;)

Tramp stamp is a common way of referring to the lower back tattoo, Kate.

Yes, the contractions sucked ass, you're right. It's less painful than that.

I know a boy who has one of those! Does that mean he's a tramp? excellent!

Your skin is raw and bleeding and it's like they're scraping you with sandpaper.

Okay, I'm too wimpy for sure!

That part has never bothered me (never felt it, never thought to notice it).

The pain ranges from pressing a fingernail into a sore mosquito bite to something a lot more "thrilling", as my dentist calls it. Depends on where on the body and the artist. My first one was small and I had expected it to be *much* more painful than it ended up. You can get a good adrenaline rush from it, which helps bring you into the moment.

When I see good work on someone I'll ask where they got it done. I adore my tattoos and am currently planning to get another one. I'd only advocate someone getting a tattoo if they want one but are a little scared of it (mostly from not knowing about the process).

xpost: whee! I'm officially a tramp!

I think what it boils down to is not so much the pain or anything else you'll scare yourself with - it's all down to whether or not you really want one. If you do, you'll find a way to deal with the pain (take ibuprofen beforehand, eat candy during, take ibuprofen after are just some examples). I have found 98% of the time that people psych themselves up into thinking it's going to be the worst pain ever and come away thinking "you know, that wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be..."

It sounds like the pain issue is pretty individual. Hmmmmm.

luna - I kind of think "it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be" about natural childbirth (I didn't have anything w/my second because she came so fast). (All this being said, I still tell people "don't be afraid to go for the epidural!")

That part has never bothered me (never felt it, never thought to notice it).

Maybe that's only with the 4-hour type jobs. . .

Yeah what Luna said about the pain is right. It only lasts for a little while and what you get in return lasts a lifetime. Not a bad tradeoff.

Maybe that's only with the 4-hour type jobs. . .

That could very well be. None of mine have lasted longer than 2 1/2 so far, so that is very possibly why.

I want a new one, too - my tattoo guy is supposed to be here sometime this month from Hawaii, so I'm hoping to see him this time.

luna - I kind of think "it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be" about natural childbirth

Yep, that makes sense. It's sort of the same kind of thing in that it's a fear of the unknown -- you haven't done it before, so you have no idea how bad it will or won't be. Also, when it's over, it's kind of a relief.

You forgot "I have them, and I don't care whether or not you get any."

That would be I have tattoos but I wouldn't recommend them because since you don't care whether someone gets one, why would you recommend it?

Also, I've heard a different one for tramp stamp, but I forget what it was now...

To me, "I wouldn't recommend them" makes it sound like my experience was so terrible that I would urge all and sundry to stay well away, which is why I said what I did.

Also, I've heard a different one for tramp stamp, but I forget what it was now...

Arschgeweih?

I have two and I'm a complete wuss when it comes to pain. It really wasn't that bad. I do want more but I'm not sure what or where yet.

Also, I've heard a different one for tramp stamp, but I forget what it was now...

cum catcher?

low bak tatty

I think he means that he's heard a different meaning for tramp stamp?

no, it was a synonym for tramp stamp. it wasn't those things you said, though.

Not all tattoos in that general regain are tramp stamps and not all ladies that have them are tramps. Not that I would um know or anything.

ass antlers

Ass antlers?

still no. it was basically "tramp stamp" except the rhyme was different... i could be remembering something non-existent, though.

as in, it followed the (woman who has sex more often than usual and/or for money) (rhyming word) scheme.

I think I've heard it called a "Slut Licence Plate" or something like that.

pretty sure that is an attention-seeker with an IQ of about 80, can we stop mocking the those with intellectual disabilities

lol are you serious?

the ANGEL on my BACK with BROKEN WINGS is CURLED INTO A BALL

can you BELIEVE the CRAZY stuff in MY LIFE?!? i have TWO GUYS names on MY ASSHOLE

HOW do you TATTOO "DEEJ" on to MY BUTTHOLE? is it D-E and E-J on the OTHER SIDE?

Is this your sister or something?

droppin a deuce deuce

I think I just mocked the hell (god, it is sort hard not to type some sort of joke with the word "shit" here but that is such an easy hit) out of this woman and her bizarro way of speaking. I was joking.

no qualms about mocking this video but seriously, that girl is way dumb

REALLY? YA THINK?

She's definitely something that's for sure.

Girl Celebrates Successful PhD Defense by Getting Butthole Tattoo

dropping a deuce deuce, or as we call it, "besmirching his name"

i also like repeatedly needling my anus

im sorry but crazy / stupid tats are hot for all the reasons sensible normal people dont get them, b/c the are ridiculous tasteless and stupid & show poor judgement

I don't know if I can watch that again because she is sort of scary but did I understand her correctly in that she had two dudes names on her anus and was getting it covered up?

um

I just think we all need to know that there's someone out there with an ass tattoo of a croissant reading the paper wile drinking a coffee. That is all.

I thought she was getting two dudes' name on her anus

its hard to interpret

i think i should just post links to Michelle “The Pass Around Girl” and let you prudes go ham for a few hours

show us yr tats

i think i have a crush on asstatgirl

I was in a rednecky bar in the middle of nowhere back when I had my septum pierced and it made everyone either want to beat me up or come up to me and show me all about their tattoos.

One was a woman who was very, very much like buttattoo girl (other than the butthole tattoo, at least to my knowledge). She had a terrible tattoo of a witch stirring a cauldron on her arm with SHADY LADY under it, and one of her son's name that she refused to show me because it was spelled wrong.

that's kind of awesome

So a friend of a friend has a tattoo I am still trying to wrap my head around: a halved avocado, with the legend NEVER FORGET.

Looks like there are lots of avocado tattoos out there. Fine by me. Nowhere near as many as goddamn bacon at least.

everyone is gonna think it's

Tattoos are quickly becoming the best way to get people I don't know taking their shirts off for me at gay bars.

i kinda resent tattoos for sustaining and popularizing the most wack fucking art styles

uggggg

Now? Also this is a screenshot from IG stories immediately after I got it cause now it’s too angry at me and red to photograph.

nice!

that is nice!!

i haven't had one in 22 years -- was talking to a friend about getting slice of watermelon tattoos -- then i thought, a slice of watermelon tramp stamp would be kinda awesome -- then i thought -- that might give ppl the impression that i was super into anal ... (which I'm not) ... my friend says i'm overthinking this, but I disagree, as it is pretty permanent

Thank you! Those aren’t butt bruises btw I think they’re ink smudges or something lol. It’s edelweiss and Erica flowers. The artist was great and I’m really pleased.

Wait is there some anal/watermelon connection I’m missing?

i mean, it's a food item that is juicy and that you eat -- maybe it's just me, but if you had a tattoo of watermelon near your butt, I would think, that person might be into ass-play? ... inner thigh might be better?

I think you’re over thinking it.

beautiful! xpost

ok what about the fact that my butt is kinda big?

Aw thanks, Y! :D

Still - I’d just think it was a cute tattoo and leave it at that and I have a pretty dirty brain so I think you’re fine.

I would think at most, people would think to bite it?

Good tattoo of one of the vampires from Buffy

I guess I should get one of these because I don’t want to be the last person who doesn’t have one
