What are your opinions of tattoos?

I've been through a lot in my life, so I'm making one of my sleeves a roadmap of my life... The filler will be an old road map.

First: a stuffed penguin, represents the stuffed penguin I used as a pillow when I was in my coma.

Show me yours!

Your skin takes color so well! Cool collection.

Some nice work there. You found a good colour guy, and as pointed out by Wings, you've taken the colours well.

Some of it probably came from photos, but who came up with the creative pieces? You or the tattoo artist?



On a more serious note tattoos are not to be taken lightly.

I was thinking of tattoing makeup when I was young. Now I praise the Lord for not doing it cause my skin tone changed + all the nasty infections that one could get if not careful


So you settled on Sharpie Chisel Tips for health reasons. Good call. You probably would've regretted the hashquerade mask, had it been permanent, instead of permanent marker.

With the exception of the hops and grapes which was drawn by my sister in law, all of the rest was artistry of the tattoo artist, Brian Long in Hillsboro, Oregon. I would give him a rough idea of what I wanted, and let him take charge and do it.

I don't have any. I have never considered them because I would probably be allergic to the ink and have bleeding issues.

The closest I have come is henna. I test it first every time.

I have never been intimate with anyone who has tattoos but I suppose it wouldn't be any different than a birth mark.

Come to think of it, no one in my family has tattoos except one sibling has some dots from radiation treatment.
 
Hey Noor I was thinking about your friend who tattooed her eyelids, and I thought initially "What an awesome thing that she went through with it".

But then scratching and irritating that area with all the other eye makeup: what a potential nightmare as in swelling or infections…

It looks pretty cool. She also did her brows but that didn't make than much different.
She has her eyelids done by someone in CA who specializes in it.

I don't really wear make up so I don't know alot about the downsize.

Thanks.

I can't get out of the house without wearing heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow. I don't like my looks without them, because they distract from my other not so great features.
But as I grow older I'm starting to get sick and tired of all that grooming routine, so your comments the other day got me thinking.
I might actually look into it.

Just wear a funky hat and every one will notice much e!se:)

I guess I don't really worry about my looks terribly much. I try to look appropriate to the situation I am in but it's my interpretation of appropriate.
 
If you like them, then great. Not sure I would ever consider getting my favourite food as a tat. They'd have to cover my whole body, I like too many things.

I'm not a fan of them for women. I don't mind a guy with a few, but I guess I am old skool that way. I wouldn't get any on myself. I like the whole skin look.

But cool that you have a story behind each choice.
 
Your work looks really good. Like Wings said, your skin takes color wonderfully. Use good sunscreen to keep them nice.

I've got Animal on my shoulder, a 45 spindle on the top of my arm and the card suits on my forearm.

I was torn as to whether or not to get the food... The fact that tipped the scale was that this is a roadmap of my life, and everyone who knows me knows that I love my food... Almost fiercely, at times.

Plans for any more?
