At 71 years old, I got my first tattoo 168 hours ago. When I teach myself how to do it, I will take a picture with my Chromebook and post it.

I wanted to place it in a spot where I could see it easily and others could as well. It is on my right forearm.

I wanted an image that says, "me." No words. It is a drawing of a wooden Irish cross with a conventional cross embedded in "gold" in the center of it. The image that was copied is shown below. Looks pretty good. In effect, it is my Irish-Catholic birthmark. If I get future tattoos they will be related to my military service and two-wheeled transport, which is something I treasure - at least for now.

In my opinion, a tattoo (as any work of art) should speak for itself - no explanation required or offered. If you get it, fine, if not, that's also fine.

It hurt like hell. I have thin skin, especially as I age, and I am taking a blood thinner. There was a lot of blood during the process, and the tattoo was "weeping" until yesterday (they tell me it's "plasma"). Now, I am "molting" my top layer of skin, and the color is becoming more vivid as the old skin peels off. I'm letting it happen and not peeling it off.

Bizarre thing. It has now been a little over two weeks, and the tattoo OCCASIONALLY starts to itch...big time. Woke me up in the middle of last night. It lasts about half hour and then goes away. Of course, you can't actually scratch it.

The tattoo artist told me it would take four weeks for the tattoo to heal completely, so maybe this little irritation is short term.

But I very much like how it has turned out, and have had several compliments on it.

The only thing it says about you is you are a delusional godbotherer.
It in no way signifies Irish heritage. It's a symbol of the biggest con ever inflicted on the human race and your devotion to it has enriched the lives of many a kiddy fiddling priests.

You have branded yourself forever with a stamp of a fool.

So that is what you interpreted from my post. Brilliantly researched. I can't compete with an intellectual mountain like you.

He's 71 years old but still hasn't learnt there is no God. It's complete bullshit.
He has now branded himself as a fool.

Stop attempting to be funny. You don't have the smarts son.
Stay on topic.

Your childish remarks don't intimidate me but instead clearly display a atrophied brain.

Clueless projection is obviously your strong suit......... The OP is talking about getting a tattoo, you're talking about whether God exists or not and deriding those who believe differently than you. Who's off topic? :rofl:
