Tattoo You? - Page 3

elSicomoro · 02-27-2007, 03:29 PM

April has three tats, one of them involving us. I've got ideas for 2 for myself, but I need to spend my dough on more important things at the moment.

tattoos about people work best when they're about mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, dead people . . . and pet people.

Nothing sadder than a regretted tattoo.

I think you should do a cover up, i.e., instead of futily trying to make it go away, cover it up with something bigger, badder, cooler, and guaranteed to make you forget.

Tattoo his whole hand brown?

That's really interesting. I was just talking about this concept with a friend of mine the other day. Although, I didn't know they were actually close to being able to do it. I had said that, if tattoos could be somewhat permanent, like my marriage, I'd get full sleeves for a few years. I have two already. I got the first one when I was 16, and really got it just to get a tattoo, not because I was in love with the rose that is now on my back. I wish I had thought more about that one, but it is what it is. It would probably bother me more if I saw it on a regular basis. I love the second, and I'll probably get at least two more.

none of my tattoos will be getting removed.. one I'm not so keen on, but it's more to do with the quality of work than the design, I got it when I was 25 and at that point i'd been thinking about getting one since I was 18 or so.. the same design kept coming to mind.. and pretty much since then I've been trying to get one every 3 years.. rule of 3's you know (although I am a little behind this year) to me they serve as reiminder and/or roadmarks. (of who and what I am and who and what I want to be..as well as who I have been).. which I finally got the image offa the damn camera, so I can finally post it on the tattoo thread I started months ago... damn procrastination!

Beautiful tatoo cloud. A couple of women at work have had full back tatoos done. I respect that freedom one must have over self to go all the way like that!

Wow, I'd like to see that too, Cloud.

Welcome to the Cellar caitlen.

Fess up, you just joined for the free birthday cake, didn't ya.

@ Flint. Do the people you come in contact with know it's from your first marriage? Or is it just because you know? For yourself, it seems to me, a scar would be just as much a reminder as the tat. Just the satisfaction of obliterating the last tangible evidence?

I know you asked Flint, not me, but.... I'm terrible about butting in...

Everyone we know is aware it is from the first marriage... which really doesn't matter. They all know the circumstances and it is no big deal. We generally forget it is even there until new people we meet comment on it which leads to the conversation about it being from a former marriage... apologies are issued... etc.
The "marriage" was of so little consequence that it doesn't merit that much attention. It could have been annulled, but that required more effort on our part than the divorce process... (we divorced our former spouses at the same time... made a date out of it actually). It has nothing to do with pain... it is more of an annoyance than anything.

Personally, I wouldn't want to wear my old wedding rings either (not to mention it would sort of be insulting) fortunately, mine weren't tattooed, but if they had been... I'm with Flint. I'd rather have a flesh toned scar than the actual tattoo... why replace something you were talked into in the first place with something else you don't want... just be done with it.

Flint doesn't wear metal rings on his fingers... his wedding band is worn on a chain... occasionally... when he remembers to wear it... actually we are both pretty bad about putting our rings on... ring or no ring... we're still married.

Dude... no way... trust me... coming from someone with no filter from brain to mouth... and no sense of modesty... say anything... I don't hold back and I don't expect others to either... I'm an open book.

Hear hear. I wear my wedding band around my neck too--I have an obnoxious habit of removing it absentmindedly when I drive, type, wash dishes, eat, etc. When it's on a chain, it's much harder to lose.

Got my first tat a week ago yesterday. The evolution of the design lasted several months (you can see the awful first draft and rough second draft, but I don't recommend staring too long).

The final product, I'm absolutely thrilled with.
