Tattatouille (re-blog Aug. 07')

Tattoos.
Tats for short.
Body Art.
Ink.
Whatever you want to call it.
I kind of like to think of them as accents rather than mere accessories.  
OR
Natural accessories---'cause once you get them ---they will be there, no matter what you put on.
At first, I was thinking, well... you wouldn't wear them everywhere on your body, like regular accesories, but then I REMEMBERED...


So....
Nevermind.
What was I saying....oh yeah....accents.  I like to use mine as accents; it's like adding a pretty pin to a simple blouse or outfit, or some fancy cuff links.  It's like, instead of having a regular brown back, how about, a couple of stars here and there, a sun, a moon. A nice little picture or scene.  That's what I have on my back.
Accents; some stars, flowers, a picture, symbol,  a portrait--if you feel the need to use your whole canvas; or whatever you choose, that is, if you choose to do this. 
If tattooing isn't your thing, cool.
But if it is, how much is too much?  Or to what degree?
 

 
See?.....regular clothes.....weird..... uh.....
.....um.....

yeah....to each his own.....but I can't help but think "What the hell do you do for a living?  Where the hell do YOU work?
Then, when you try to wear normal outfits, it looks weird.  If you're going to do stuff like tat or pierce your whole body up--it better be a lifestyle choice.  You know what society we have, at least here in the U.S.  Don't go trying to put on a sweater vest and some penny loafers or some frilly dress (unless it's your angle to perplex people).   You're going to look even crazier than .... you look.  Not that I'd necessarily have a problem with it, after the initial shock of course, but "THE MAN" would.
can however appreciate their creativity and nerve.
I wonder how some people come up with this shit:
 

..  

...UMMM... ????



 
 

Again....To each, his own, but I just wonder, that's all.
And how about the tramp stamp?  Hey, don't get mad at me, I didn't make up the name.  I've also discovered that they're also sometimes referred to as butt antlers, ho tags, whore brands and California License plates.  Damn!!!
..and did you know there's scientific knowledge behind this?
This is from the Urban Dictionary:
"Fair or unfair, these tattoos have a socially constructed connotation associated with them. These women are labeled as tramps, whores, or other derogatory sexually promiscuous terms. Although these are often bias generalized claims, there have been sociological studies done by the American Psychological Association, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and other demographic researchers showing strong correlative evidence associating tattoos with high risk behavior, illegal substance abuse and sexual promiscuity. These risk factors are greatest in the age range which these types of tattoos are gaining main stream popularity. Some have also jokingly stated that by 2050, the "tramp stamp" will be renamed the "gramp stamp".
DAMN!!!!!
I thought it was just some sort of nasty joke, that spread.
My bad ladies!!!!
Anyhoo, the lower back is still an ever popular location where females get tattooed, and can you blame them? 
 
 

 
 They don't really make shirts that cover your entire torso anymore, and pants no longer go all the way over your ass.  Hell, they halfway don't even make jackets that cover your torso anymore. I guess you might as well accent the flesh that's always showing.
But, as long as there's something peaking out, these so-called tramp-stamp avoiders or haters will still be interested in peeking.
But do pull your pants up and TRY to avoid butt cleavage.

I think that one should exercise some sort of rational thinking when contemplating ink. Tattoos are PERMANENT, so think ahead.  Some shit is just dumb.
 
Dumbass....is probably trying to get a job at Roy Rogers now. 
 
What do you like chairs, is this your fave?   Why is a dick on a man's arm?
What the fuck!!!!! and Why!!!!!
Think of it this way:
Will you still like your tattoo when the sytem crashes?

This motherfucker was just bored.
You know, that when the show finally goes off the air, you'll have to explain this shit all of the time or never wear shorts.
You don't want to get stuff that's subject to change, i.e. your boy/girlfriend's name, your favorite tv show, those glocks, and assault rifles, and bloody skeletons---the grandkids will never visit in the sumer, for fear that you'll take off your shirt.

DAMN!!!!

....and you know what's the worst!!!!
I know he was MAD!!!!!
../03/10/images/thumb_tattoo.jpg"> Once again, MAD!!!!
Just because it's another language, somebody will know.  Plus you'll know.
WRONG SPELLINGS ARE THE WORST!!!!
Think of it this way. 
Are you going to be proud of your tattoo in 25, 30 years? 
Are you even gonna like Craig's dumb ass next month?
What if your favorite sports franchise is sold to another market and renamed?
What if "Basura" really does mean trash like Hector said, and not tough like the dude told me?  DAMN!!!
Yeah, you could get it burned off with laser removal, but that shit ain't cheap and it can leave uglier scars.
OR
You could have another tattoo artist recreate it into something you DON'T hate.
OR Just think it over clearly, from the beginning.
They have glow in the dark ink, too now.



So, now you can look like you have vitiligo in the dark (from a distance), or like some one drew on you with gel pins.
Bottom line, just do yourself a favor and:
THINK BEFORE YOU INK!

Ms. Kane if you're nasty!
