Love it! Never heard the term before.


We've been here before: Wearing my passion and that thread was locked. Now you can see the other arm referred to by Tombie in the reference thread.

I've got a dragon backpiece that I designed with two "wings" of flame reaching out to the tips of my shoulder blades in outline and awaiting colour - also working to design my sleeves at the moment.

the Girlfriend has "Love" tattooed on her left wrist (some out there may be aware of the movement behind this one), a celtic-knot symbol she designed herself on the back of her neck (she and her mother and sisters all have the same), and another on the way which I've designed for her and that is particularly meaningful for us both.

[edit] - also have a total of 6 piercings... two through the top of my left ear, one in my lower lip, one in my tongue... and the others I shall leave unnamed
Girlfriend has 9 in total...)


I can understand why some do not like tattoos, and I have seen many tattoos that in my own opinion I think are tacky/in poor taste/ill concieved.
(ie, one night my friend was drunk in london, and got a flaming bowling ball with "Born to Bowl" written around it... he's never bowled in his life...)

That said, most people usually have strong reasons for getting ink in the first place, and it is worth considering that an uninformed opinion might be less than welcome before you open your mouth.

The old saying about idiots and opinions...

What happens if you split acrimoniously?

I accept you want them - both my kids have them, err, my son doesn't anymore . Neither my wife nor I have tatts and neither of us like them.

I see no reason why I can't voice the opinion that I don't like them.

Speaking for my own part, I have not and will not ever regret a single moment or experience in my life, so for me it'll remain a reminder of a certain time, place and person that was at one time special to me. It's not a set of initials, nor anything quite so bespoke - just something that means a lot to us both. Besides, speaking from experience there are a lot more painful things to worry about in a split.

I have no desire to deny you your opinion that you do not like tattoo's in general... I simply think that when commenting on an individual's own artwork, one should be mindful that what one might think is an ugly disfigurement, might to the owner be truly meaningful.

I guess to illustrate I should share some personal info - my backpiece is a permanent memory of the loss of my former partner and our unborn child. It nearly claimed my life too - this dragon I bear rising from the flames is my affirmation to carry on.

getting back to the point of this thread - yes, boobie implants on a tattoo (tittoo?) is probably in the "silly things people do to themselves" category.

I may not like it, but I respect his choice to do it!
