At least I'm not the only one who doesn't care for them. The other thread I'm on is a more urban crowd, and of course they had no idea why anyone wouldn't want a tattoo, and had all kinds of wonderful reasons why they had them.

So...what were the reasons they gave you??
I really would like to better understand the desire to have them.

"Thug life" over my shoulders
A rainbow, and the word pride on my arm
A humming bird drinking from my belly button
Depends on which eye it is on the left eye it means they have killed someone and the right eye means they lost a brother (gang member)3waycross":4ovne5uy said:LauraleesFarm":4ovne5uy said:I'm from the generation where pictorial tattoos were considered undesirable, and my husband feels the same way. I would never get one, and he wouldn't have me if I did (well probably a stretch but he would NOT like it). EXCEPTION: I am going to have my eyeliner tastefully tattooed one of these days!
That being said, my son has several tattoos, my brothers do also. One of my brothers does his own tats. But I thank God that my 21 year old gorgeous daughter does not have one and does not want one, nor any body piercings!
Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, just stating my opinion!
Edited to add:
The other day I had a patient in the hospital that was covered in tattoos. I understand that some certain tattoos have gang related meanings and possibly prison meanings.
He had the tear tattoo on one eye (lost a friend? I guess?)
He had the F word in every imaginable use of the word all over his body.
His knuckles read F ... This just like the picture posted of Plan Ahea...
I was absolutely disgusted, and I was certain to wear gloves!
It means he killed someone..........good idea on the gloves.

Every tattoo I have has a meaning to me. Since I can't remember squat, it helps me remember some of the good times. Biggest snapper I ever caught, biggest black grouper down in the tortugas, big bass that won us a tournament, marlin we landed where marlin shouldn't exist. That kind of stuff.
