sully04 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Alright so I'm writing an article for a class on tattoos and their current trend in society. So I would like as many of you as possible to respond to this. If you have a tat why did you get it? If you don't why don't you? Also do any of you watch the television programs "Inked" or "Miami Ink" ? Pretty basic survey. If you want to say a little more than that feel free. I appreciate any responses. Thanks, Sully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I dont have any tats but I do watch Miami Ink. I watch it for the same reason I watch American Chopper (no bike affiliation there). Its appealing. Its nice to see someone with a talent make something brilliant out of nothing. I might get a tattoo someday but at the present time I dont see the need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't have a tattoo because I'm afraid if I get one I won't like it later in my life, I don't really like them in general, and it hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I am 26 years old, and I do NOT have a tattoo. The reason I do not, is because there is nothing in my life (at this point) that I feel strongly enough about to permanently mark on my body. This doesn't mean I don't feel strongly or passionate about things - just not the kind of things you would tattoo on your body. I was close to getting a tattoo one time: It was going to be a U.S. Army tattoo across my shoulder blades (similar to where your name is on a football jersey) that would've read "U.S. ARMY" in the standard stencil font. After I was injured shortly before graduation from basic, I decided (obviously) not to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujols Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't have a tattoo, cause i'm too young to get one, and I don't see the point in getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyt Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Skin sags later on. Ink has a tendency to run together on saggy skin. A lot of the people I've talked to don't like them anymore. Some get them for no good reasons without thinking i.e. tweety bird on the ankle or something. A ton of girls like to get them on the lower back where they can hardly see them. I like to label this particular tat the "ho stamp" excuse my language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't have a tattoo and I'm not going to get one. The main reason is that I'm a coward and I am afraid it is going to hurt. Years ago I thought it would have been cool for me to have one, but the fear of the pain and common sense prevailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Skin sags later on. Ink has a tendency to run together on saggy skin. i've got several. and yes skin sags later on. whether you have a tatoo or not. i find it hard to believe that it's pretty either way.

ngdot Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yep - I'm 18. Don't watch those corny shows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 i do not have a tattoo. i decided that i would only get one if i ever came up with a cool design myself. although i go to art school, and do lots of "art-ing" I still haven't drawn anything I would call cool enough to permanently fix on myself. and i dont watch any of those tv shows either.

sully04 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks you guys. I knew this community would respond. These are exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for. These combined with the other audiences I asked should give me a wide enough base for a valid response. Again thanks to those who have already responded, and I will certainly welcome more.

sfgiantsflgators Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 No tattoo, but not against it. Basically, two things have stopped me: 1. Needles 2. I'm somewhat finicky, so I'm afraid that if I get one today, the "coolness" of it will disappear in a month or so and it'll just start to **** me off.

kgbaseball Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Me Actually, that's sfgiantsflgators. After thinking of the coolest idea for a tattoo ever, he decides to cover his whole body in it, only to realize that this will **** him off for the rest of his life. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Maybe I did go a bit overboard... ...but those two wild animals that are apparently licking my nipples should calm me down. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what was funnier... the statement you typed, the little emoticon, or the combination of the two. I know I type "lol" a lot - but I am actually laughing out loud this time.
