YABU
None of your business what I do with my body. I'm not making you have any, am I?

Think what you like. I love my art.

You are ever so judgey Gichin, perhaps this is why your husband prefers his Ducati

Gichin · 31/05/2010 00:16

Tatoos not tatos. Oh Dear.

Fair enough, and thats just it, isn't it? What will these women look like at 70. All very sad and desparate, tbh.

Oh Gichin, don't hate me and my inky body just because I am younger and foxier.

scurryfunge · 31/05/2010 00:23

Not really, just very judgemental of you......none of your business

fyimate · 31/05/2010 00:24

It's up to the person, I think (and I know I'll get stoned for this but it's MY OPINION) woman 'can' look common with them, but so can some men.

In saying that my DP has two which dont make him look common (IMO) and he and I want to get one that basically say I am his (which I think is common but I dont care because I am his).

If it makes them happy to get them, why not? It's their body afterall.

MrsRhettButler · 31/05/2010 00:24

why would a tattoo look desperate?

Yes but will you hate yourself, when you are my age. Btw, is your mobile phone pink?

This getting to be a bug bear of mine.
Why could you not have put the whole sentence in the title instead of making me click on the thread only to be let down by the banality of your comment?

Linziwam · 31/05/2010 00:25

It's not your age ....................it's you

MrsRhettButler · 31/05/2010 00:25

grinch, are you new? or just namechanged to wind people up?

PuzzleRocks · 31/05/2010 00:26

No Gichin I loathe pink. I suspect you would have a very hard time trying to pin me down.

Gichin · 31/05/2010 00:26

YOU ARE HIS?

Tattoos are probably preferable to wrinkles...... You're how old again??

fyimate · 31/05/2010 00:30

Gichin;

I'm with him for life, so to me, I am his, he is mine.

...Not sure he wants a tattoo that says the last bit though...

Hahaha

Wrinkles are natural, tatoos are not. All very sad really.

I have a little one on my foot - I love it! DH hates it - he said "what about when you are old", so I told him "old people wear socks"

I'd have loads if it was up to me, but we have a rule that we have to agree on the spending money in the house. So, I'll probably not have any more. Besides, all the money we get at the moment is better spent elsewhere than on tattoos.

I love them though.

BritFish · 31/05/2010 00:31

i was about to say YABU but after reading FYIMATES post..

neverevereververever get a partners name tattooed on your body. its tattoo 101. and you're HIS? um, what?

back to the theme in hand

Gichin, YABU. you know why i wont care what my tattoos will look like when im 80? BECAUSE I'LL BE 80. i'll be wrinkly with thinning hair and saggy boobs....so i might as well have a few small reminders of the days when i was young and slammin'

scurryfunge · 31/05/2010 00:32

Gichin,
Are you so bored you want to pick arguments about something so trivial and irrelevant to you?

ravenAK · 31/05/2010 00:33

Unfortunately for those of us who are glamorous alternative ladies, with cool, edgy, beautiful tattoos, having someone scrawl your granddaughter's name across your bum in ambigrams has become a mainstream pursuit in recent years.

Bastards. Why couldn't the chavs have left tattoos to those of us who know how to do them properly, eh.

Seriously, though. If someone sees my tattoo & decides that I'm 'common', whatever that might mean, then as far as I'm concerned that person simply has different taste to me, which is fine; but also has a tendency to make ill-informed superficial judgments, which I'm not going to take terribly seriously.

Thats all very romantic, but what happens if you split?
