Tattoos

[JW Frogen]

I was in the US Navy for some time and on a drunken outing in Okinawa I almost got a tat on my ball sack that read "Jimmy crack corn and I don't care" but fortunately we were on the buddy system and my mate saved me.

Now you gotta admit. This one was kinda cool.

 

[JW Frogen]

And to think, given my age it would now read "this popped corn has a few more cracks."

Now you gotta admit. This one was kinda cool.

You would have found more pleasure if that gator was biting your nipple.

Believe me, I know.

Always a turn-off for me, unless we're talking full-body tribal tattoos. But who has them besides African tribals?

I am not a fan of tattoos. Unfortunately, they have gotten so common that I have become tolerant of one or two on a guy. More is verging on telling me something is wrong in the person's head.

I don't think tattoos on women are a good idea. I haven't really gotten used to that.

I think what disturbs me most about them, is how they disrupt the body's symmetry. Symmetry is generally beautiful, and disrupting that with some poorly-placed ink is anathema.

I suppose that is why the only tattoos I can tolerate are full-body, in that they tend to maintain basic symmetry.

This I don't mind.

Maoris go for it. Some of it looks guud.

I work with a Maori woman with tattoos begging me to go East of Eden, they are just begging me.

Now the Maori tattooing, while I wouldn't want one, doesn't repulse me like most tattoos do. It enhances their natural symmetry, IMO, and does look good.

My co-workers tat is not on her face, OH I SAY!!!!!

Great point about the symmetry.

If a tattoo is anything outside of some organizational symbol (on a guy, and even then...), I can't help but think what in their head motivated them to put a permanent image on their skin of all places. Is their memory so bad and/or limited that they can't visualize some memory (if the tattoo is motivated by that)? Are their communication skills so limited that they have to have a permanent visual aid to present to others to tell them about themselves (if a tattoo is motivated by that)?

These are the things that tattoos say to me about the one who has them. And, that is not a positive communication from the tattoo-ee.

 

[CrimsonWhite]

Fact is, this is a sexy tat.

Oh? And you would know this precisely how?

I would surmise that the re-establishment of prohibition would cripple the tattoo industry.

They'd still drink, though.

We had a bonding moment, just part of training I says, I says.

As long as you refrain from abusing your position...

 

[JW Frogen]

My training, not hers. I gave up any position I have in the world long ago. My position is missionary. Come and crucify me! Crucify me good! She is always on top, (she likes it up there) she is always the mystery, she is always like a Gaugain painting and I am the beached soul touching the canvass in hope of color and light.

 

[JW Frogen]

Still, my alter has her praying to the same mystery too.

Gee xo... you sure look proud of your tattoo...
