Not even close, sorry it's a "BOND" thing.

I've been disfigured enough by two fistula surgeries and an ugly fistula.  I don't think I would pay someone to disfigure me further.  Hopefully the tattoo fad will play itself out soon.

Fad?  It's been going on for way longer than just a fad.

I dont consider it "being disfigured"  if done right, i think it can be beautiful body art.  I am proud of my tattoo's and i think they are pretty cool and far as it being a fad, nah, i think it is just something someone does to change the way they feel about themselves and depending on what it is they get tattooed on them, it shows their personalities...that is just my opinion

Yeah I agree but I still think the "chicks" who tattoo a target on their back right above their ass, look whorish, not that I mind.

*scratches that idea off her to do list*   Nope, no targets here

So, Epoman, what does DFL stand for?  Dudes For Life? 

And as for tattoos:  for my 50th birthday, I got myself a delicate sort of bracelet of flowers that goes around my left wrist, in gentle blue, pink, & yellow colors, with entertwining leaves; they look like the flowers my grandmother grew in her back yard (she raised me, and we were very close).  The background story is that at the age of 15, I read a book on Winston Churchill's mother, Jenny Jerome, who was a Virginia lady and quite the renegade; it said she had "a bracelet tattooed around her wrist", but provided no further details.  I desperately wanted one ever since, but waited until age 50, because then most of the people in my family who would have been truly offended by it were either dead or blind!  Then this year, I found out that Jenny Jerome's bracelet tattoo was of a snake!  If I had known that detail at the beginning, I probably would just have been turned off, so I guess it all worked out fine!

Around here, we call tats at that spot a "tramp stamp". 

As for the "fad" going away - I'm pretty sure we're stuck with it.  But you would think the kids trying to look "cool" would have moved on to something else when the suburban housewives started getting them.

I'm like the official tattoo canvas here I think 11 in all. It is a form of expression not a fad. I have a memorial for my Dad which includes his portrait on my lower left leg. I wanted to have my Mothers portrait added but I don't know if I can, due to the meds and diabetes.  I don't heal good anymore.

Do we get pictures of this canvas?

[Sluff]

I need to get a camera.

I like tattoos. 
I had a friend who got married to a woman named Lori.  He got her name tattooed on his arm with hearts and little emblems.  After they got divorced he moved to Florida.  He got letters added to to tattoo so now instead of Lori it says Florida.

That turned out pretty cool but usually my own rule is no names unless they are my kids names. All my tattoos mean something and I didn't get them without a lot of thought first.

Go get a camera silly Sluff and show us the tattoos.

My digital camera broke and I can't afford a new one. Maybe I'll get a throw away camera. then i'll scan the picture.

Your wish is my command...

Careful what you wish for Kitkatz.

Sluff, I'm assuming your camera didn't break while trying to take that picture, right?

[Treasure]

Ah, I would like at least one tattoo to cover up the holes that are left in my chest from my catheter...yuck!  i can no longer show off the sisters in low cut shirts...the two catheter holes look like i have two additional nipples on my right breast.

i just can't figure out what kind of tattoo i want to cover the unsightlies. someone suggested a cartoon figure with two big brown eyes... *argh!* yeah...that'll be really sexy, hehehe.

if you know what kind of holes i'm talking about, maybe you can suggest an appropriate tattoo.

I know what you're talking about Treasure.  Joe has one of those in roughly the center of his chest.  We joke about it being his "Fifty Cent" gunshot wound.

The moment you all have been waiting for.

Someone got a camera???   Cool tattoo.

I got a few tats while I was in the navy. I went through a phase with dragons. and Since I got tats of it, it will be a lifelong phase.

I got my first tat on my left arm when I was 18, I got the rest when I joined the navy. I have 5 tattoo's I got 2 in Japan. The dragon in the pic is my favorite tattoo, and i got done in Japan in the Japanese style with the ink done with a pistol and mortar, along with the tap technique.

I have a gargoyle on my upper right back, and an angel and devil mirror image on my right arm. On my chest I have a picture of the laughing buddha (also done in Japan). The first tat I got was a color dragon. I only got one color tattoo, and i think thats it for me, because I don't like color anymore. The black and skin color is the most detailed and easier to see.

These pics were taken when I was in the navy. about 3 years ago. It hasnt faded much since then, I just dont take pictures with my shirt off very much anymore.
