Do you have a Tattoo? (update) - Page 2

pbradley · 08.01.2009, 12:57 AM

You know, that would a correct observation if I weren't currently posting from this secret, underground cloning facility of mine.

But you're right, some people disagree with me so, therefore, I am wrong.

I'm unemployed and posting on a message board. I have no fish to fry.

Will someone be so kind as to help me fund this for a tattoo?

How do you know it's conspicuous? If they're showing it to everyone and talking about it all the time, sure, but even then that doesn't automatically make it less "sincere". How would it?

I consider tattoos to be an objectification of one's passion, an object that also has historically had a certain level of social credibility. At a certain point, some have conjured passions only in order to have a tattoo. The object of the tattoo overcomes that which it signifies.

Now, sure, a person can still have a truly meaningful tattoo that doesn't give in to the social credibility but even then I believe that passion is a thing of the spirit and not the skin. The tattoo is always an inferior rendition of the original sentiment.

do you disagree with wearing clothing that is anything but functional also? I mean, anything which is aesthetic as much as, or more than functional? Jewelry? a t shirt with a band on it?

My wife has a few. I'm really glad I don't. It's more original not too these days (especially where I live). I have nothing against them, but I'm glad I never did it myself.

I guess I just don't see it as any different from that. Sure, clothing and t shirts are 'removable' and 'temporary, but surely if someone feels comfortable enough to deal with having a decorative thing as a permanent addition to their own body, who cares?

amerikangod · 08.02.2009, 08:26 PM

Fuck. I am drunk. I misread this thread as 'Do you have a taco?" and I got way excited.

i agree totally. to each their own.

i personally don't care about being original or not..."ohhh everyone and their mama has tattoos these days blahblahblah"
so fucking what? most people shower. maybe i'll stop showering in an attempt to be "different."

Holy shit, are you pretensious or what?

SONIC GAIL · 08.03.2009, 09:51 AM

This is my most recent addition. I got it done to remind me of my mom.
It is a classic sailor tattoo of a swallow. I was told that sailors would get these upon thier return home. I found this very appropriate. It's pretty too. The ultimate accessory. Sorry it's so tiny. I can't figure out how to get my pics any bigger.
