I read on Dan Wheeler's blog and his wife Beth and their two daughters had Faith, Hope, and Love tattooed on their wrists.  I think that's sweet - it's a lifelong bond, and they'll always think of their mom when they look at their wrist.


I had a friend who had her maiden name tatted down the length of her inner left forearm in script right before she got married. It was beautiful.

I love that idea. While I love having my husbands name I do kind of miss having that connection to my own ancestry.

Re: Multiple Piercings and Tattoos

Some of the nicest people I know have tattoos, including my  Mother. My Mom has  had my Dad's name tattooed on her since before I was born. He is gone now, But I still smile when I look at it.

I am not a not professional but my opinion is, some of the nicest people are all tatted up and some mean people have no tattoos or piercings. So the character of the person is not affected by their choices. For myself I would not get either but do like some tattoos on some people.


Exactly.

 

True story - my late husband was in a wheelchair during the last Christmas season of his life.  We wanted to do some Christmas shopping and headed out to the local mall.  Well, the worst we were treated, with glares and heavy sighs and even at one point elbowed because we got in some folks way came from well-dressed folks.  You know who jumped in without hesitation to help us with doors and even interceded for us in the elbowing incident?  A number of goth young folks.  They were heavily tatted, pierced, black lipstick and nails, leather and dog collars and BIG SMILES and helping hands.

 


Don't know where folks live.  Here, the younger ones are the mean ones.  They dislike anyone over say 30 and it doesn't matter if they are tatooed or not.  I've had rudeness from all age groups and ethnicities, relijuns and followings. 


Hmm....

Re: Multiple Piercings and Tattoos

The huge tattoos and sleeves are so ugly to me.  I really cannot imagine wanting to cover one's body in tattoos.

Re: Multiple Piercings and Tattoos

Personally, I don't care for them at all, as I'm of a different generation and we used different methods of self-expression.  I don't judge anyone, though.  If that's what they like, so be it.
