***Deep & Thought Provoling Topics*** WTF is up with Tatoos?

,:SNIP:.

I press-up against boys with ink real hard to see if it'll transfer onto me.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I will keep that in mind. =)

When I was a kid I drew anchors on my forearms with a ballpoint pen.

I yam what I yam.

I don't have ink either, but that's just because I don't like needles. I really don't like needles.

To each their own, but I continue to wonder at some of the stage names adopted by providers proud enough of their ink to include it in their name. Tatted Beauty? Tatted-up Monica? Where's the Irezumi Oiran or Tribal Grinding or the Illustrated Tawaif? In short, why do people with such an affinity for indelible art fail to come up with creative and distinctive names?

There is one latina I've seen and she should be "The Girl with the Draggin' on Tattoo" because it rambles on forever with no end...

How fucking creative do you expect them to be?

There is some art out there that belongs on a ghetto graffit wall and not on a beautiful womans body.

Do this, run a listing in ISO and ask for "girls with NO tattoos"...I'm guessing there maybe be 5-6 in all of Austin,

Austin has more tattoo shops per square mile than anywhere in the country. So it's not a stretch to assume we have a lot of tattooed people as well


you are really hung up on the Georgia girl and her derringer tattoo as you have referenced it several times now. Yet oddly pistol tattoos are fairly common. There is even a pinterrest devoted to it.

body modification is as old as humans themselves, the reasons behind them are as varied as the people that get them.

Art as always is in the eye of the beholder it would be strange for you to like all tattoos on everyone.

Tawaifs were courtesans in pre-British India and The Illustrated Man is a mildly-famous frame story about a liberally tattooed man, each of who's tats "illustrate" a short story. I'm not saying everyone would necessarily know what creative stage names mean, but most people familiar with tattoo culture and the history of the world's oldest profession would recognize them. And besides, even if they're not universally recognizable, they're relatively unique and exotic. Isn't the goal to stand out from the crowd?

Incidentally, IQ, poorly and ineptly as it does so, attempts to measure problem-solving intelligence, which is not automatically congruent with trivial knowledge.

this thread inspired me to listen to this song -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTxuTMf5BW8

I applaud you sir!

I also both look forward to and simultaneously fear the day we are on opposite sides of a topic. While my A game is pretty good; you sir have game I doubt you are even aware of.
