Branding tattoos?

When I was growing up tats where related to white trash, drug users, gangs and jail birds. Has anything changed?

Yes. Incredibly judgemental attitudes about tattoos and many other aspects of personal appearance have subsided for most. Social acceptance has changed.

Personally, I used to judge people for such things until I figured out that the person screwing up was me. Those with ornamentation are not necessarily better or worse than those of us "plain" people.

I still don't care for tattoos. I can't see them as imporoving appearance, expecially for a woman. With that said, some of the finest men, and yes, women, that I have known have tattoos. I don't want to think about what I would have missed if I threw them away due to tattoos.

Fortunately for me, they have not thrown me away for not having tattoos.

Nevermind
If you see butterflies of any kind, they are mine.
example:





If you see tribal tattoos on the lower back, they are also mine.

example:





I also use stars.

Also lips:
example:









Crown tattoos



belong to this pimp:




actually there is a pimp that uses the crown as a brand, but not every girl with a crown is associated with him or a pimp, despite what some hating whore mongers would like you to believe. They are quite a popular stamp.





And there is a mod who brands his bitches. I will let you guess who....









Seriously, if you wanna know if they are pimped, just make an appointment. If they are young and show up within 10 minutes of the appointed time, then they are probably pimped.

Where exactly did you get your information that blak pimps are more likely to brand a girl than white pimps? Just curious, I must have missed that article in The Economist.

Also, why would it be ironic? I doubt any of the pimps here we're born pre 1864, so why would you expect their consciousness of slavery to be any different than your own?



NICE!!
With summer coming on and the hot weather remember your pimp in the hot car. Please leave the window cracked and provide a bowl of water.

I have a tat of a crown on top of my nickname(Because I'm the KING & QUEEN of my castle), and believe me the only thing pimping me are my kids... They're taking me for everything I got!

1. Look up the word Irony.
2. Also look up America. There are two continents west of Europe and Africa. They are North and South America, since most US Citizens don't like South American's coming to "America" to steal our jobs, I think they mean themselves when they say American, even though Mexico, Peru, Canada, and other countries are also "American". My fellow Citizens are ignorant of their exceptionalism and Blubba is just ignorant. Racism, and it's tools: stereotyping and generalities know no national boundary.

What a way to bring an old thread back!
I find it incredibly ironic that (usually black) pimps want to brand "their" girls when that totally smacks of slavery. Why these dumb bitches allow it, I will never understand... Originally Posted by Blubba

I am independent & have 4 tattoos oops.. sorry that it bothers u ..dont see me.. one is my ex boyfriends name but Im not ready to feel the pain of getting it covered up. Tattoos hurt lol. And you really have no business judging ppl you are on a hobbysite looking for girls to spend your money on so dont think you are any better then the next. revaluate yourself!!
All Pink!! No Ink!!
How many Courtneys are out there? Looking back several years and it appears there is at least two or three. One has a tat above her left breast and one on her left wrist. It is wrong to think we are all talking about the same Courtney.
Is it just me, or do any of you all shy away from girls that have a name tatooed on them? To me it is reminiscent of the branding of slaves. I will only see women who are in the business of their own free, uncoerced will.

Also, is there any way to be certain that a woman who says that she is independent really is? Originally Posted by Lunarcide

Otherwise it's foolish to presume that you know the history behind any tat. You're making a very superficial assumption. If you believe that a tat on a woman indicates she's pimped, then perhaps you also cross the street any time you see a group of young, black or hispanic teenagers coming your way since they're all up to no good, right?

Why are all of these tattoo threads from months ago being bumped? I dont see anyone adding anything that has not already been said/ranted about a bunch of times already...
