inkman Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 it doesnt, i dont really even notice them and im more covered than our resident "inkman". i just like getting/having them. I wish I had the expendable income to get all the ink I would like. The whole wife/kid/house thingy kinda derailed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 No disrespect, Dank. I've just seen on occasion a few tats folks get pissed when some folk are looking at their tats. People do ask some dumb questions. Like if a piece that took 3 and 1/2 hours actually hurt, but I always politely respond or just feed them a line of BS.

Just wondering what drives someone to paint their body, then doesnt want anybody to look at it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 that wasnt a dig at you. just to clarify. If I got pissed at someone having more ink than me, I'd walk around my entire life pissed off...oh...wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 No disrespect, Dank. I've just seen on occasion a few tats folks get pissed when some folk are looking at their tats. i dont mind if people want to check them out and come up and say something. thats cool. and it actually worked out in my favor once. when Matthew Fox was down in atlanta filming We are Marshall, my friends and i ended up watching a World Cup game on the same patio as he and his friends. he made a comment about my tattoos (he has a BUNCH) and that opened my path to grilling him about LOST for the next 3 hours (haha jk, i told him i was a fan of the show and we moved the conversation back to soccer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering what drives someone to paint their body, then doesnt want anybody to look at it..... I didn't mean to imply that I don't like people looking at them. I almost exclusively wear tanks in the summer to accentuate my ink. There is a certain vanity involved. There is also the deep seeded issues as to why people change there appearance, probably stemming from some sort of self-esteem issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(maybe NOWadays, some people do it for self-esteem reasons. but i dont think thats why its so popular) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirdborn Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Good for you. I always thought of people getting Tats as wanting attention. Kinda like look at me!!! What ever. You thought wrong, knucklehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Do scars count? My head has been described as looking like a mine field from all of the surgeries I have had. No tattoos or piercings or any of that new age stuff and I am under 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taterhill Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 i was going to get my sons name tattoed on me, but I decided to name a star after him instead...seems like a good investment too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 They why do you have them? To look cool? Not everyone gets tattoos to look cool nor even to be generally looked at. I got my tattoo for my own personal reasons. It is not there for others to see(though I have no qualms if they see it)......it is there for me. It actually has meaning for me and even 17 years now after getting it done I have never regretted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of the people with them all over their body to me just looks pretty stupid. I had a guy come looking for a position with my firm and I could see tattoos on his neck. He seemed pretty smart and could have done well with us. But there is no way I'd hire someone that has visible tattoos like that on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
