AIBU to wonder about this tattoo? (pic included)

Waiting for tube this morning, I was looking at an ad, and couldn't help but wonder about the tattoo on the 'omio' advert. It looks, well, you tell me. I can read 'with intention' but what do the rest of the words say and is it a quote? What does it mean?

Is it a dick?!

You're extremely defensive. Are you sure deep down you don't regret your tats?

Tbf I had one tatt I regretted the second it was done. Was young, daft, stoned 🤣 and probably drunk.

Nothing happened, used a bit of Dermablend and got it covered up about 2 years later.

So its no drama really if someone does regret a tattoo. You can't regret them deep down though, as they only go to about 5 or 6 layers of skin 😉

What sort of weird places do you hang out in and what obscene tattoos do you see?! What a bizarre comment!

A man who volunteers alongside me at a charity shop has a nude woman with legs akimbo on his arm. It's vile. He's not allowed out on the shop floor since the manager has noticed it.

Why is it acceptable for women to drag a man out of bed? Or anyone for that matter, why can't he go to be early. Forced engagement isn't something normally celebrated.

So if it is the time quote the model thinks grabbing cash is the best way to use it?

I snapped and looked at the company's twitter account and there is a short film on there which is a montage of horrible things that happen on holiday (lost baggage, missed trains, companion dragging you out of bed etc) stitched to a montage of the lovely bits - I think he sees the dawn from a rooftop although it's not very clear (or interesting) and he's more compliant than I'd be with the woman hauling him around. It's all a bit dull tbh and . . . underwhelming. If you held a gun to my head I'd suppose the thrust 😉is that life is full of ups and downs and without the downs the ups wouldn't be so precious. That tat really should read 'trite'.

I suppose there are circumstances when it would be acceptable to drag someone out of bed, fire, carbon monoxide alert, axe murderer attack, etc. so they could rebadge it for smoke alarms if the travel thing doesn't work out.

No idea but whatever it is is vile. I am so waiting for the tattoo fashion to disappear, it's been around for a good many years now and tattoos look horrible. It's so nice to see young people who have nice, clean looking skin.

This
It's so ugly looking.

I have to say, I was after some idle, fun, speculation not a culture war but thems the breaks.

Right so one person, slight overreaction on your part don't you think?

It looks like a fish to me, like a koi carp. I am probably way off!

This is a little creepy... I'm glad my tattoos are stopping people eyeing up my "nice" skin. 😅

I think it might be a snake’s head, I can see what looks like an eye.

Laughing at the anti-tat gang. Sorry to tell you but the current generation of teens are really into tattoos, DD will be getting one as soon as she legally can as will the majority of her friends. Hell I’ll even pay for her to get one just to piss off people that feel so strongly about it Grin

Okey-Dokey “I got a tattoo so my mum could think she was pissing off strangers in the internet who will never see her, me, or the tattoo” seems a little bit, brave, in my estimation.

I also am not a fan of tats. Have yet to see one that I thought was an improvement. (Even if I can appreciate the artistry and skill).
I might admire it to your face, but you’ll have let me know you’re a bit of a plonker.

So you think people with tattoos are inept or stupid @GuevarasBeret

could you explain your reasoning?

I’m afraid I don’t see the connection between skin art and capability or intelligence

Seems so.

Tattooing has been around, somewhere in the world since BC so I'm not sure they are going anywhere soon! They've been around in the UK at least 200 years, if not longer.

Tattoos used to have spiritual and cultural meaning. Now they’re just badly drawn doodles.

I was just saying a man I worked with has a vile tattoo in response to your question.

I'm not the person you initially responded to.

No idea what the writing says.

Bit creepy, gives off 'it puts the lotion on its skin' vibes.

Don't worry about what other people put on their body, don't like tattoos, don't get one! I have managed to avoid them for 35 years, despite them being fashionable.
