tats?? yeah or nay??

What I interpret from JR is that tat's are fine if they have meaning such as the military which in America that's usually who had tattoos such as navy men and bikers from yesteryear.

It used to be taboo or for a very select few and since now that has gone by the wayside it is now "hip" for everyone to get a tattoo which is essentially implying you want people to ask you about them because if you use the line that it's for "me" while having a tattoo on your face/neck/arms you're just a liar.

What you really want is the attention that it gives you, yes it may have meaning but it's more about the attention. Same with clothes and style and everything else under the sun. We all want attention! Fashion trends tend to come and go but tattoo's well those are forever.

Most 70 year old women don't wear daisy dukes and midriff tanks because with age comes modesty....usually and of course some women are outliers.

So that old tattoo that you got in the summer of 2000 because barbwire was bitchin might not go over so well or that "drunken mistake" of getting a smurf on your arm or something along those lines well it may be funny to some but not to others.

Also most people who have face and neck tattoos still get stared at and it usually brings a negative connotation. We all want to say judge not less ye be judged but if that were the case well people would make everything acceptable.

Not sure where my post went.....?

I like tattoos. I'm much younger than pretty much everybody here though. Seems to be a generational thing.

Whether you fought or not she raised her hand and deserves the same respect.
I mean did we even have Marines when you were in during the Revolutionary War?
I love tats on a woman...

Yes, I love tits

JR,
You're not even in her league, so give up, you're just embarrassing yourself. Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter

I am right about how tattoos are received by many, not all: and you know it.

Being loud and nasty does not mean your opinion is correct,.

If someone wants a tattoo, so be it: It is none of my business. I know a young man who is a bus boy at a cafe I visit. He was telling me about how proud he was of getting his "first" tattoo, and how he has saved up the money he got from the waitresses sharing their tips with him. I always tip the waitresses between 30 and 50%; maybe that was his way of saying thank you, so I gave him a complement on the fine tattoo. The poor guy will probably always be a bus boy. That is not a judgement, I just happen to know that he gave up on high school because it was too hard for him.

The discussion was about how tattoos can be part of the uniforms people may wear to identify ourselves to ourselves and others.

Recognize it, and understand it.

Kiss Kiss

November 10, 1775 is the birthday of the US Marine Corps
July 4, 1776 was the date we declared our independence from England
The Revolutionary war was after7/4/1776

I appreciate the Air Force, my daughter is a retired AF Colonel. She had to work twice as hard as the guys to reach that rank.

Guys still must register for the draft, girls to not. I got drafted for Nam.

When women are drafted, then they will be considered the same as men. Until then, let us say that we appreciate women, and they should not be drafted.

Jr,
You are entertaining when you ramble.
The question was tats on a professional gal. Once again you're thread drifting to military, and real world job's.
But, for real world jobs, guess what gal I have put behind a bar. A Miss Rough & Tough. Why? She's better at putting cash in the drawer. You wanna guess who gets hotel asst mgr? Miss Rough & Tough. Why, cause that's what is needed. And for a change in realty, I used to do the substitute guest lecturer at the Baptist Seminary here in KC. Quite a few of the gals had tats. That was a discussion item one class. I was amused at the guys reactions.

JR,
Thank you for amusing me. And also amusing a few of the pro gals.

Think about the bible verse you quoted. One if the things related to giving up childish ways, is respecting other folks. Several times in your dissertations you have talked down to and insulted pro gals on the board.
Note that you are only damaging your own persona here.

Well I have seen a number of lovely ladies with and without tats. They aren't a deal breaker for me. I just won't get one. My own choice.
As for wearing the uniform, gender doesn't matter only rank. If you were combat wounded as a Marine, then a 2nd Lt. Navy nurse probably took care of you. I am sure you followed her orders. Not everyone is in combat. It takes a number of personnel to keep one in the field. To quote Milton "He also serves who only stands and waits".

Jesus, what a fucking shit show this ignored thread turned into. I’m only responding to shout out to Gemma. Hey girl! You still owe me one. Remember... couple years ago... you, me, Ari...Let’s make a goddamn movie!

By the way, an ensign is he lowest grade of commissioned officer in the United States Navy , junior to a lieutenant junior grade. The navy does not have a 2nd Lieutenant officer.

With the name TailHooked; surly that must tell us that you were never in the Navy.



I know: Don't call you Surely.

Umm, JR
What's the Navy rank for an O2 paygrade?

Revolutionary War started with the shot heard around the world on April 19, 1775, before the Marines were founded...It all started at Concord...but that doesn't in anyway diminish the history and proud tradition of the Marines...

The US Navy does not have an officer referred to as a 2ed Lieutenant. you are thinking of the Army, the US Marine Corps or the US Air Force. You could google it with ease, I did not have to.

The observation that if one doesn't know that: they have not served or been around the Navy. The Marines are a part of the US Navy Department. The Navy Medical Corps provides services to the Marines. The cross over is common in many areas.
I spent a lot of time with the US Navy in a Marine uniform.
