@SpicyNSweet
I’m a bear 🐻 but I’m not inappropriate
@OhioMike yessssss welcome to the pedicure side! 💅🏻We have fun with colors and take care of our feet, which do so much for us
@JohnnyVV, I agree with your statement, “ body art that don't seem to add to the beauty of one's body.” In my opinion, one’s body adds beauty to the body art.
In my opinion, one’s body adds beauty to the body art.
@AmazingEmbrace well said!
I always pick ones with a lot of detail. 😂 I guess I like pain. Here's a couple pictures showing the process of my 4th tattoo.
@Goonie4life very cool!!! I don't enjoy pain, but I love my ink and being able to look at it any time I want. 🥰 What's funny to me about this thread is I actually get a ton of compliments from total strangers on my tattoos and hair colors every time I leave the house. But some people are apparently too miserable to enjoy diversity and the beauty of how unique we are all. 🤷🤣
@Goonie4life 👍 what is it? Was it very painful? I’m thinking of getting a small tattoo on my wrist . spaceship ?
Never say die awwwww ha ha just read the one on your arm🙌❤️ I raised my kids on Goonies. ☺️
Much appreciated @SweetCuddler33. I don't expect people to accept my opinion, just understand it. Happy Friday!
Many people don't understand judgmental remarks about others' appearance, and they shouldn't have to. 🤷
@chocobunny 🙌 yes Happy Friday to you as well! Have a nice weekend everyone 🌞 yay ! 😃
I have to say is I really like and admire tattoos and piercings on others and usually will ask questions about them to hear the backstory to each one if they are willing to share. However I probably will never get a piercing or tattoo because I'm too scared of needles, don't feel like I could decide on something that I would for sure want permanently in the case of a tattoo and have no desire for piercings on myself, plus I'd be too lazy to properly take care of it and make sure I clean it and all that. lol. But It looks great on others! If I had any small inkling of an idea it would be for my late dog, and then perhaps other loved ones that pass on, but again I wouldn't know where to put it, or what exact image that I'd want that I wouldn't later think hmm maybe I should have done it somewhere else or another image and I certainly wouldn't want to have it touched up or redone or removed. I'll stick to temporary tattoos if I want one 😁. Oh and I ONCE got a pedicure but I certainly wasn't brave enough to get any color. I got it while my then (now ex) girlfriend was sitting next to me getting hers. It tickled so much for me though. I'd rather just pay for a more deluxe one for a future girlfriend than get tickled again for my own for a similar total price. I will say the massage was nice though.
The woman who did my tattoo was a self proclaimed witch. She and her wife had a metaphysical book store/tattoo shop in Vallejo, California. We talked for a few weeks before the actual session, and I found out she started her career as a nurse, but she went into tattoo artistry after spending years recreating tattoos and body art at the hospital morgue: this work helped hospitals find the deceased's family and identity, when dentistry records or teeth or facial identity was not possible because all the morgue had were actual body parts. She learned tattooing by studying other people's work. I was fascinated with her story.
I have a tattoo. I don't care what others think about it or about tattoos. The magic I created by way of a lesbian witch tattoo artist was for me, not someone's opinion, as they don't have to wear it or even like it: that's mine.
@Sideon that is a freakin awesome story!
@Sideon I’d like to work at a morgue doing tattoos. I would start with a corpse that fell to their death and tattoo “Face Plant Botanist” on them to give their demise a sense of purpose that they were doing research and got Irwined (Steve Irwin) by their test subject. I think a family might take comfort in knowing that their sacrifice did not go unnoticed.
@SweetCuddler33 the tattoo is for the 1986 movie Flight of the Navigator
So good🙌🙌🙌🙌
Finally got my second tattoo after 14 years 😂 the problem with wanting so many different ideas is deciding which to do when and where. The decision paralysis was finally overcome when my partner offered to pay for one for my 40th birthday - now there was external pressure to make a decision lol.
It came out fantastic, will definitely be going back to this artist! The shading and color blending he did was so detailed for a relatively small and simple piece.
These are mine! Once I got Venom, I realized I wanted anti-heroes and villains on that arm (they're written so much better than MCs). Though for me, no tattoo will ever be cooler than my grandma's. She has her own name tattooed on her arm.
@JustAGuy215 getting ones own name tattooed on oneself seems like such a badass act of self-love.
You know, I don't love beards on men but it had never occurred to me to make a public post about it. Should I share my profound confusion re: why they would cover up the beautiful purity of their bare face? No judgement re: people who have beards...plenty of my friends have beards! I can respect an artfully trimmed beard, but these days it seems like every guy has a beard.
(Beards are fine, but what genuinely confuses me is why some men don't get how exhausting the patronizing questions re: women's aesthetic choices they don't care for are.)
I think that when we start to become fond of an individual, everything about them becomes more beautiful--each tattoo ("good", "bad", "faded", "regretted" even), scar, quirk, wrinkle--and the stories behind each one. The way they laugh. The strange way they eat fries. The thing they're most ashamed of. Their mistakes and their whims and the hat you always hated but then weirdly missed when they lost it in the airport. All these little pieces that add up to make this unique, irreplaceable person.
I can't imagine ever wanting to limit the organic unfolding of a person in their internal and external expression, and I can't think of anything more attractive and exquisite than that--tattoos or no.
I have a hard time picking one aesthetic choice I find blanket-unattractive, because I've always been proven wrong in that. I think crocs look stupid but if I fall for a person who loves crocs, I'm gonna think that's cute as heck.
@SoftestCactus so eloquently put
I'd like my next tattoo to be of my favorite character, Nephenee, from my favorite video game series, Fire Emblem.
Nephenee is a badass for sure
I added this Grateful Dead tattoo underneath my ET tattooing February for my Dad. My Dad was a Deadhead. I told my artist that I wanted a Grateful Dead bear in an astronaut suit and a rocket ship for Elton John's Rocket Man with the color vibe of The Grateful Dead
