Working at a university, I see a lot of students with visible tattoos. Upper arm or high on the leg, fine, but wrist, hand and neck tattoos are not good.
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.
And, once again, I have nothing to say except for what I said yesterday:
Shir, I saw that! The Secret Goth Cabal (that doesn't exist) will be contacting you.
Pete doesn't have any tattoos, and doesn't want any. There isn't a piece of artwork he likes well enough that he wants it permanently on his body.
I had tattoo artist friends in college who offered to give me free ones but I couldn't think of anything I wanted to have on myself forever. And thank God for that because anything I'd have put on myself at 20 is not something I think I'd be happy with today.
I will be getting many more, now that my aging body is saying "No, new piercings WILL NOT HEAL". Dangit. I miss my eyebrow ring, and my labret, and my tongue stud, and the idea of getting more rings in my ears. But alas, the healing process has changed as I got older.
Ink, though - just fine. As I slowly save money, I will get *much more ink*.
tommyrot, I think if you pick another color instead of white that samurai penguin would make a gorgeous tattoo.

I'm thinking black, which would require some changes to the design....
SF in general, and the food/beverage-service industry in particular, is obviously tattoo/piercing-friendly. I work with a woman who has a (pencil-thin) mustache tattooed on the side of her index finger. Which is a tat I would never get, but more power to her. (We also have a girl with a septum ring, which is also Not For Me.)

I gotta ask why? For Snidely Carmichael purposes?

What's that?
Those things hurt. And did you know they don't go away?
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.What is that?
Ya, the forever thing is the other bit keeping me from the GL ring tat. Sure, the kilroy on the arm is forever, but something tells me I'll be walking on the crutches forever, so why not have the lil guy peering out over them.
