When does a tattoo, by itself, become a SGT?

[jsilvers]

I have no principled objection to tattoos, but I'm always amazed by what people actually select to become a permanent part of their anatomy.

Like a tattoo of a topless woman. On the thigh of the father (presumably) dining with his daughter. At the '50s Prime Time Cafe.

I can only assume that "Mom" didn't notice. She presumably would have required him to do more than stand in the corner?...

[TechieSidhe]

Actually, my husband has a mermaid. It's on his calf. It WAS topless, until he had his two nephews come live with him for a while. Then he went and had the mermaid's breasts covered with a seashell bra covering the entire breasts. It was pretty tasteful to begin with, but he had to make it kid friendly. He also covered one of his other questionable tattoos with a nice Celtic knot design. (I like to trace it out on his arm.)

Interestingly, I don't even notice the tattoos anymore unless I'm looking for them. Maybe it's because I'm so used to seeing them. I DO however, notice them in other people, because I like to see the artwork. I'm a big fan of Japanese artwork. I want a tattoo, but where I want it isn't work approved.

I think that when you get THAT used to it every day, you sometimes forget that it's there, and don't think to cover it, or adjust for it depending on where you are. Yes, there are some people that LIKE the shock value and attention that a certain type of tattoo brings to them. These are the same people that try to come through the turnstyles with expletives and offensive gestures and get mad when they get turned away, even when a "nicer than they should be to them" Disney offers them a clean shirt.

At least for me, tattoos are a personal thing.

I think George Reiger now has about 2,000 Disney tattoos.

We were on the Disney Cruise ship about a year ago, and standing right next to Pluto and Goofy on the sports deck was a shirtless dude with a nekkid lady tat that covered about 1/3 of his entire back. I mean, yay boobies, but c'mon, dude, there are kids here.

[jlowejd5]

BTW, I managed to get a great picture of the above-referenced bad ink, with Pluto's foot just visible in the frame. I don't want to break any rules by posting it, though. I'm assuming that's not exactly kosher?

its udder fascination or something,

My little sister joined us for a day at WDW a while ago. I looked down at her calf and saw her gorgeous Betty Page pinup tattoo drawing my eyes like a beacon. Great work by her husband, but oi... naked chick on my little sister made a few grey hairs pop out! :o: :p:

I have no problems with beautiful depictions of nudity (pinups, for example, or Donatella's David); I do have a problem with violent imagery, though. If it was a tattoo of another of Betty's *ahem* more colorful depictions, I think I would have said a bit more to my sister about things being "inappropriate for prime time."

I think saying something to a family member and/or removing my kid from the situation is all I think is appropriate, in terms of reactions.

[BigMickeyFan]

Well, lookie here - my first post!

I'm going to go with "When it's misspelled." H and I had our family at a small local amusement resort in PA a few weeks ago to take in some of their "Fun, Food and Fantasy" ;) While waiting in line with our 5-year-old for the haunted house, I kept passing the same woman (as often happens in those "cattle chute" type queues). Everytime I passed her, I couldn't help but be confronted by the very large tattoo on her bare arm which read "PSYCO B*TCH." Crass, crude and spelled wrong to boot - it's the bad tattoo trifecta, folks!

I have no problem with well done, artistic tattoos in general, but I can't think of one single reason to permanently mark that on yourself, even if you remembered to stick that H in there!

[darph nader]

There's a commercial on the local radio station about getting things done right the first time. "You wouldn't want a bad tatoo would you?" (in gruff biker voice),"Uuuhh. How many Os in Bob?" :rolleyes:

[BRWombat]

I have no problem with well done, artistic tattoos in general, but I can't think of one single reason to permanently mark that on yourself, even if you remembered to stick that H in there!The only thing that maybe justifies it is... what if someone else knocked her out and gave her that tattoo as a warning to others? Just sayin'. :D:

Seriously, why the interest in boobs? Still getting nostalgic over having been breastfed, or what? In reality, all a breast is is a lump of fat with modified sweat glands in it, covered with skin. That's all.

Now, why is it it's okay for a guy to have a tat of a woman's boobs, but it's not okay for a woman to have a tat of a guy's "Richard"? Vascular tissue with a tube covered by skin, right?

Thee are a few cultures that make use of male and female genitalia symbols for various reasons. Geishas in Japan have a stylized female pudenda painted on the backs of their necks, even though they aren't prostitutes.

And in ancient Greece being nude while participating in sports such as wrestling was considered heroic. Heroes were typically depicted performing their deeds of heroism in the nude.

There was recently a controversy about a proposed statute, which would've depicted a nude man reaching out to a nude little boy; it was supposed to symbolize a father and child. The detractors argued it would attract pedophiles, the supporters stated that nudity was symbolic of nothing to hide, no barriers, etc.. The idea behind the statue was that fathers should not be ashamed to show affection to their children.

I don't get it. Fathers used to be able to do that naturally. They just express it differently from the way a mother does. My dad expressed love to us by spending time with us, and sometimes did say he loved us. When we were young, he got us stuff--me, he was always bringing me things that answered my questions about how things worked. I bet whenever he went to the toy store and got me something like a telescope, microscope, or weather station, the clerk must've told him, "Hope your son enjoys this", and dad would say it's actually for his daughter. I don't know if such a conversation ever took place, but I can imagine if it did. Once dad even carved a wooden sword for me, by hand.

Some people find it easier to say they love someone, others prefer to give gifts or do things for others, etc.. It's been said that there are five different ways people use to express love for one another. Here's a site that covers it; I believe it has a test to see what your love language is:
http://edified.org/myspace/lovelanguage . Mine is recieving gifts.:D:

Mine is physical touch and quality time, about equal. Receiving gifts was lowest, but that doesn't mean I'd pass on receiving a present. ;)

About the Zax

by Dr. Seuss
From The Sneetches and Other Stories
Copyright 1961 by Theodor S. Geisel and Audrey S. Geisel, renewed 1989

One day, making tracks
In the prairie of Prax,
Came a North-Going Zax
And a South-Going Zax.

And it happened that both of them came to a place
Where they bumped. There they stood.
Foot to foot. Face to face.

“Look here, now!” the North-Going Zax said, “I say!
You are blocking my path. You are right in my way.
I’m a North-Going Zax and I always go north.
Get out of my way, now, and let me go forth!”

“Who’s in whose way?” snapped the South-Going Zax.
“I always go south, making south-going tracks.
So you’re in MY way! And I ask you to move
And let me go south in my south-going groove.”

Then the North-Going Zax puffed his chest up with pride.
“I never,” he said, “take a step to one side.
And I’ll prove to you that I won’t change my ways
If I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!”

“And I’ll prove to YOU,” yelled the South-Going Zax,
“That I can stand here in the prairie of Prax
For fifty-nine years! For I live by a rule
That I learned as a boy back in South-Going School.
Never budge! That’s my rule. Never budge in the least!
Not an inch to the west! Not an inch to the east!
I’ll stay here, not budging! I can and I will
If it makes you and me and the whole world stand still!”

Well…
Of course the world didn’t stand still. The world grew.
In a couple of years, the new highway came through
And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax
And left them there, standing un-budged in their tracks.

Sorry, think that if you are going to have tattoos, they should be better-looking.:rolleyes:

Been watching Tattoo Highway, much better designs are available;)

[felinefan]

Oh, that's right, the Zaxes! I saw that on T.V. once, with other Dr. Suess stories. Forgot what they looked like....

The critter on the right of the topless lady looks like some bizarre cross between a cat and a unicorn, but with the cat's nose left off. Where did that tat artist learn his/her trade? Yeesh....

[Cheshire Figment]

Last night I was looking at "Bait Cars" on tru-tv and one of the perps had words tattooed both on his chin and also where one would expect a mustache. Definitely a ewwwwwww moment.

The topless woman looks like her mouth is a mustache.

Definitely not my brother-in-law's work. Yowza.

WOw... :eek: That's a lot of fail for one back! Winged unicorn, roughly drawn "Scar" on the upper left... Incorporation of a mole into a design...

Those are really bad tats........ Is that a man or woman?

[felinefan]

You're right, they're awful. The pegasus is okay, but the unicorn critter and the woman suck. The woman's mouth not only looks like a moustasche, it's off-center. Musta been an amachoor.

[DisneyMom]

Hmmm, think that is a pair of breasts under Unicorn Critter's veil.......
Whatever, the whole back should be censored:cool:
Never let a middle-school kid design your tats!:rolleyes:

[GaTechGal]

You know, I had never even considered it, but I bet that guy DID draw his own. Just awful. And EEyore, I would HOPE it was a guy since his shirt is off.
