Spike ,'Selfless'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
As a software QA guy, it's been made clear to me by all my contract companies that I need to be a lot more conservative in appearance if I want to make more than minimum, though.
Really? Oh, how frustrating.
Ring tattoos hold no interest for me because I wear a lot of rings, and I don't think I'd be able to keep myself from scratching during the healing period.
Actually, if one works in an industrial setting, ring tattoos make loads of sense. My buddy Bob has a ring tattoo instead of a wedding ring because he doesn't want his finger ripped off if his ring gets caught in a piece of machinery. Which happens fairly often, I guess. Not to him, I mean in general.
One of my coworkers has a tattoo of a rune that he says means "fidelity" on his ring finger, in place of a wedding ring. But then, I work at a lefty liberal NGO. One of the VPs suggested producing a "Tattos of [Workplace]" calendar as a fundraiser and, while he was kidding, it would be totally doable.
My current workplace could care less...and I'm not really counting on THOSE OTHER PLACES finding me work (since they haven't talked to me in over 6 months anyway).
I'm just sayin' - it's more conservative in Seattle than it used to be. The general consensus amongst my peers is - visible tattoos? Better work in a tattoo parlor.
I like looking on tattos, but they're all too "ouch!" and "forever!" for me.
However, if I would ever have one, right now the Women in Black symbol is the only thing that I feel committed enough to ink on my body.

Huh. Well that's annoying. I mean, my tattoos barely show, but it's not like I look exactly *normal*, nor will I ever, really.
There was a gorgeous tattoo on the girl in front of me at the show last night. She designed it herself, a pastel dragon about to take flight on her left shoulder blade. It was more entertaining than the opening band.

And, once again, I have nothing to say except for what I said yesterday: Shir "Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed." Aug 25, 2009 12:39:04 pm PDT
I must be one of the very few people of my generation (Gen X) who does not have any tattoos. DW doesn't have any either.
Nor do I.
