12. I wonder what her mother thought when she showed her back...
Hey, kids can get into all kinds of trouble. Be grateful... she didn't do something worse.

3. I think it's intricately beautiful.
I'm not sure something that solidly black and large will still look nice in 20 or 30 years, though. :-(

7. It's beautiful artwork. It's ugly where it's placed, though.
How sad.

11. It's gonna look like crap in a couple years.
A real waste of all the artistic talent that went into making the thing.

21. In my opinion, dermatological needles should be reserved for this kind of
problem.

22. You have no idea what can happen to human skin that no tattoo
will cover up. People suffer so much just to have a natural look when they have one or more of these dermatological problems.

Want some more pictures?

10. Better on parchment, I'd say...
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 10:08 PM by Radio_Lady
Tattoos look OK on sailors, but not on young fresh feminine skin.

Sorry, folks... I just don't get it.

OT: Somehow, I remember those sheets.

Ok on sailors, but not young ladies....Well now... :eyes:

It's ok if you don't get it, but to make that distinction.... :eyes:

17. Showing our youth, are we???
Anything goes, as long as it's not your mother's way?

That's OK. I understand the feeling. I was plenty rebellious in my youth, more than I'll ever want to admit.
However, the difference is I've learned a thing or two in my almost seven decades.

If you live that long, you will, too.

In peace,

Radio_Lady

30. Open mindedness? Questioning authority? I've heard it all.
This was just to open up a new subject. You accused me of aging. I accused you of "youthing"...

Just for the record, I'll be 68 on my next birthday. But that's not the point...

You've decided you don't agree with me, and then you have to support your argument by attacking MY AGE?

I'm sure there are 30 year olds who are as turned off as I am by tattoos. What's the point?

Come on! Turnabout is fair play.

Sorry you're not in tune tonight. Next you'll tell me I shouldn't eat at the Olive Garden!

Good night and good luck.

15. well it looks like its a lifestyle tattoo
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 10:21 PM by judaspriestess
and what I mean by that, is she is probably into the punk scene (judging by the dyed black hair) and very large tattoos are popular. They fit the scene, the view, the lifestyle. Which I love the punk scene and the heavy metal scene but I still refuse to get a tattoo. Princesses don't get tattoos ;-)
We can ruin our credit but we don't get tattoos, lol

The tattos I hate are the "tramp stamps" at the bottom of the back. They are so fake and many times stupid looking. on edit: and so unoriginal

27. Tramp Stamp is better than Ass Tattoo
They're not on the "lower back." They're on your ass, and they scream "Hey, you! Look at my ass!" And while they may be hot now, while you're still young, what will the people eventually wiping your ass for you and giving you enemas (not the fun kind) say? Deny it all you want: eventually, you're going to be embarrassed.

Maybe it would be better if EVERYONE didn't have one. It was sexy ten years ago; now it's old news.

18. Hey, judgmental cuts both ways.
I guess you're feeling better than earlier, when I complimented your Teletubby?

OK, get over it.

31. Second attack on my age? Wow! Now I'm insulted.
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 11:15 PM by Radio_Lady
See post #30. IMHO, this has nothing to do with age.

You've heard my opinion. You're entitled to yours.

That's all.

24. Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder.
Yes, you may quote me. :D

Personally, I would not go for such a big tatoo on my body, but I can still appreciate the fine handiwork and someone else's decision to do it if they want to.

It's just not what I would choose for myself, that's all.

:hi: Radio Lady!! :hug:

PS. Have you seen "The Prestige" yet? We saw it on Sat nite and loved it. Great flick, with some good twists. :thumbsup:

34. OT: Naw, we've got to get caught up on movies. November is such
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 11:18 PM by Radio_Lady
a busy month! You should see the preview calendar!

Next movie I'm going to is "Borat" -- on Thursday night.

Have you seen "Flags of Our Fathers"? Or "The Departed"? That's all we managed to squeeze in during the trip to Florida.

In peace,

Radio_Lady

36. Neither
I find the design pretty enough but I'm not a big fan of that much black. With some color I think it would be quite beautiful. I don't think it's not ugly though.

Of course, I see that you apparently posted this for validation in your obnoxious attitude towards tattoos. As for your age, I've seen women with actual class your age get tattooed.

You've definitely showed your true colors on this one.

:eyes:

Signed,

Someone who has enhanced her delicate feminine skin with tattoos.
