In Regards to Tattoos

[bowhatchie]

Started to post in the Things you see that don't make sense post as it ad seemed to drift to tattoos.... but as this was a bit off topic.. thought better to start a new one... My Wife approached me one day about 4 years ago with the desire to get one small tattoo... She is now 58 years old.. at the time.. of course 54.... I being the perfect husband said of course dear ..whatever stirs your martini.... so away WE went to the tattoo parlor.. where she promptly selected a small yet very colorful Chile pepper to be applied to her derriere..... on the way home I asked her what prompted her choice.. Her reply still makes me laugh to this day... She said one day when I am really old and in a nursing home and they go to change my depends or diaper... when they roll me over and see this shriveled up Chile pepper.. they will think to themselves...once upon a time this was really one hot piece of A#&! No pictures Hobie...

Really really funny story! I don't have any stories that great behind any of my pieces.

That's funny. Shaun Morgan of Seether has a funny tat. He got a uterus tattooed on the inside of his forearm and when asked about it he replied "So I don't forget where I came from.". I have three tattoos right now. A Celtic cross (old school, not Christian Celtic, it's not elongated) on my elbow, the band Cold's spider logo on my left arm and on my right upper arm I have a lotus flower. I plan to get more down to my elbows and maybe do something on my back. I want to keep most of them able to be hidden when wearing a shirt incase I end up in an office position or something. More professional to me to hide them, unless you're a rocker/tatoo artist.

 

[marmal4de]

All of mine are office friendly, minus my finger moustaches.

 

[lonestar]

Did you say finger moustaches ?

Hmmmmm, looks like you did.

Of course we will need pictures of, er, whatever a finger moustache is.

:lol:

 

[marmal4de]

FINGERMOUSTACHEEEEEEEES!

 

[greggors]

there's not much padding on a finger, wouldnt those tats hurt like a SOB? good thing they're small lol

 

[marmal4de]

It was the worst pain I ever experienced, made my conch punches seem like a nap, and my elbow look like a walk in the park.

 

[ohin3]

That's priceless stuff there.

@marmal4de: Ouch. I've just had the nice meaty shoulder done, and that was painful enough.
Love the story on the chili pepper. Today: pipe = old man. Wonder if the same connection will be made with tattoos when we're older? I know that tattoo = old sailor when I was a boy. Fashions come and go, but tattoos are forever.

I will not state what I think about tattoos because I don't want a bunch of people mad at me.

 

[unclearthur]

When I worked as an aid in a nursing home, one of my residents was a sweet little lady who had a long stemmed rose tattooed on her right breast. She always joked that 50 years ago it wasn't long stemmed. It was just a little rose bud.

 

[marmal4de]

Strange that this is such a controversial subject. It's like pipe smoking in a lot of ways, its fun, looks cool, gets you ladies, and isn't respected by the majority of people. :crazy:

Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo...you just did! Now, I'm MAD! I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-85 hrs worth of work. Meaning, we stop counting tats! nice Pepper story...mine is..one day on the crapper, i had 'Old Suzanna" stuck in my head, so when the paperwork was done, I headed to the nearest parlor and had a banjo inked on my knee.

I worked with a guy years ago that was covered with tattoos. He claimed he had "Love lifed me" tattooed somewhere. I really really did not want to see that one.

Kinda like a buddy of mine who has "YER NAME" inked on his ass! Gets plenty of drinks from gals when he tells themn he has 'your name' tatt'd on his butt!
