Do you have a tattoo?

I'm sure this has been said before but this thread and the other one is proving it again.

People who have tattoos don't care if you have tattoos or not. People who don't have tattoos generally like to tell people with tattoos how bad they are and how much they will regret it.

Back in the day people who wore shell suits had a similar view.

We were just trying to help them.

Does anyone have any dot work...?

Sorry this was actually a serious question.


Anyone?

I'd like to know how the experience/sensation/pain differs from a 'standard' tattoo.


Thanks.

Your serious question got lost amongst the bickering.

Are we back to sensible again ?

Sorry, missed this, too busy playing

No, but the design I did for my last one planned is dots, I'm still unsure about doing it however.

Clicked the thread to see if anyone had got any interesting work done recently.

Realised everyone is lost in the tampon isle at the supermarket, Crikey.

And one I'd say was most tattooed on here, Johnny, has been utterly polite & helpful (despite looking like a thug at times ) and dresses like JAYB

Why, thank you! It's a carefully crafted look, and one I'm quite proud of

[Thatch]

Can we get this thread back on track?

What happened to the bloke who had a tattooed sports bra?

How's that looking now?

Really? A polite question is asked & the acceptable response is that?!

Not in my world, nor in 99% of the people I know! And a straw poll of 20 in the office stated they would find it an offensive response to any question.

It's an exceedingly rude response and I'm shocked that you admit that you think it's appropriate TBH.

You actually asked 20 people in your office about that?

When I said to my mate the other day "Want to go karting at the weekend?" and he said "Why the fk not" I didn't fall out with him about it, there was nothing shocking about it, it was an entirely appropriate response. We're not addressing the Queen here, or sitting in a job interview. Yes, 'fk' is a 'naughty' word, but given the topic in question, it seems fairly reasonable to me.

I think it's already been established that different people hold different views about what constitutes a polite response to a question. But feel free to continue arguing the point if you wish.

Singlecoil, you've been posting in this thread since 2008, you clearly don't get or care for tattoos so why the fk are you still here, posting the same st, 7 years later?

I'm still here. Think this sums up the thread though. An uncalled for insult designed to cause offence and make yourself look big, clever, show off etc.

Strange behaviour to say the least.

That is really getting it back on track - I am sure he is well please with your efforts

Oh yeah - I remember that.

He got quite upset. Poor chap.

Oh, well that's all right then.

In that case, I step back, apologies profusely and admit that I'm wrong

That is I WILL if you admit that your responses below are hypocritical as a result! You can't say that Frumpytickle was being polite with her "why the fk not" response and then say CVM wass't when responding at that level

CVM said:

Anyway, if the Tattoed hoards of pitchfork holding sensitive souls would stop waving them for a moment, they'd see I said I was GENUINELY not trying to be provocative, just inquisitive.

But hey, why give a reasonable, polite answer when you can live up to your stereotype?

You escalated things into an argument, not me.

Sure, you were being really polite and everything...

CVM said:

Why the fk not? Because you look like a total fking Bellend with a gorillas face on your calf?

Jeez. I asked a perfectly reasonable question and you act like your stereotype. A tattooed dick.
I clearly stated I was not being provocative.

But, thank you. You've reminded me why I come on PH once in a blue moon these days. It's full of s and chavs.

doogz said:

Or is is acceptable to call people s, if you're polite about it first?

I'm not 'mock' offended, or 'real' offended.

More, bemused, by your apparent stupidity. Not your opinion (which I do find stupid, but is not the point here)

"What's the point in tattoos"

"Well, why not?"

"Why not? Because you look like a fking bellend, a total dick, etc"

There's only one person coming across like a dick in this thread, and it's you, you fking gypsy scumbag

See, stereotyping is fun, Mr ex-caravan owner.

[CVM]

Ali,

Leave it now. Don't worry. If they want to continue tantrumming on the floor like a child, let them.

I'm really not offended by people calling me a gypsy scumbag or questioning my choice of profession. I'm proud of everything I've done with my life and even prouder that I'm now running a successful, growing business that I set up from nothing. I've had worse things happen than some stranger on the Internet swear at me.

People are trying to move the thread on and I'm trying to ask (serious) questions.

It's one of those topics where people will always fall out or be offended. Simple as that.

You'll have Jimi after you too, asking why you're posting the same st. The fact that you aren't posting st won't matter to him, if he imagines there is any anti-tattoo sentiment there at all then that's what it will be as far as he is concerned.

[Johnny]

Can we not just move on now and drop all the nonsense?

Pretty please. With fking cherries on.

[ali_kat]

Yeah, I tried too

What is this? What's the process?

I guess the best way to describe it is the tattoo is made up of lots of dots, usually hand applied rather than with the machine, resulting in a greater depth of field. It is supposed to hurt less as it doesn't feature the 'cutting' pain that most tattoos are associated with.

But the guy I'd met that knew about it disappeared, and I haven't followed up on it as I'm not sure if I want another or not at the moment.

[Johnny]

Seen it being done a few times, always look interesting and painful!

You can't say I didn't try..........
