I'm more concerned about what kind of drugs that kid is on than how his arms are painted! Holy crap; I hope that's not even a real picture!

Isn't that Robert Downey Jr.??

I fucked a rooster once. Always wondered what the offspring would look like...


You Queer !

ok you have got to be kidding me...

I don't understand piercings... simply because they are like tattoos but there is no commitment, i have had 7, i have none now, havent had a piercing for about 6 years, i still have all of my tattoos... when it comes to tattoos, the permanency(is that a word) of tattoos IS the appeal... as for showing them to my kids, grandkids.... my kids love them, they have fun pulling the skin and watching them deform, sure my grandkids will too... in 50 years if im still alive i will likely be sitting in an old folks home comparing how much they have stretched with all the other old bastards... and admiring the work my grandkids are getting.... you might just be sitting in the corner alone and out of touch.

seriously... the reason for the tattoo above the ass, especially on women?

IT LOOKS FUCKING HOT....

i can not understand how any straight guy can not be turned on by a tattoo just above the waistline on a girls back.

Maybe I am to damn old and have very conservative values?

But to each his own Todrick...I personally don't like it.

no i think there was a severe generation gap that happened somehow between people who are now late 30's and those who are late 20's

tattoos ar eperfectly normal and acceptable to me but i have friends who ar eolder and dont get it... most people younger than me seem to agree with me... so i wonder what caused the different perception regarding tattos/piercing over a 10 year gap

if you want to see some weird shit, go to a JIM ROSE CIRCUS show, or go to YBOR CITY right on the outskirts of Tampa Fl. You will definately see some funny stuff!

I'm approaching mid 30's and I like tattoos to an extent. I think there's a point where it's too much or the stuff painted is too stupid, but if it has real meaning and is placed properly it can be pretty nice.

I also don't have a problem with guys and earrings, but when they dangle or when there are lots of them in different and, uh, odd places, well, that's just wrong!

OH YES! It sure turns me on! specially the tattoos that read "INSERT BELOW"

I have no problem with tattoos or even some piercings, I have 5 tattoos myself. It's the overboard stuff, that looks like it is actually detrimental to your body, like coral under the skin ect... I just don't understand the draw of trying to be that different... People who do those things have some serious self issues in my opinion....

I like tatoos and have them. I also have a single piercing on my tongue. Weird since I don't even have ear rings. On the other hand I can still identify a freak. If you tatoo your dumbass face then you are a jackass. I don't have anything against it but I sure as hell will be laughing. My philosophy has always been that my tatoos and piercings are personal. I put them in areas that I can show or hide as I please. Oh but as far as the tatoo on the small of a woman's back. If you don't like that as a man then I have to question your "orientation." The target is nothing but sexy.

Didn't you just intern or work for Disney? Do they actually allow that now?

One interesting fact about tatoos... I had one removed... If you are to get one, think twice before... It's a hell to remove...

Cost for the tatoo (back in 1980) $20

Cost to have it removed (by laser) in 1998... 8 visits @ 70$ (560$) If I have correctly understood the dermatologist, the laser is heating the pigment (the ink) to break it into smaller parts that the body can get rid of.

Before that I have tried other way to remove it.
-In a tatoo parlor, they have tried tatooing over with a bleach solution (to create irritation to stimulate the body to get rid of the ink) and (when healed) tatooing over with a skin tone ink... worked partially, the tatoo was blurred but stil very visible.

-Have it tatooed over without ink (only needles) and scraping off the scab... did a better job but it was still visible.

After that, i went to a dermatologic clinic, they finished the job (but you can still see it). As it was a very visible tatoo (a dagger on the left side of my neck, about 2 inches long, just below the ear) I still have to wear a shirt with a collar to meet customers...

By the way, tatoo made with artisanal machines (guitar string) are deeper in the string and harder to remove.

Edited to add: I agree with Todrick, tatoo on a woman lower back are great (unless the tatoo is too large).

Yeah I did just intern for disney and no they do not allow any visible tatoos or piercings. I have had my tonge pierced for so long that I can leave it out for as long as I want and it won't close. I would usually take it out at work but sometimes left it in if I felt rebellious. My costume did not show any of my tatoos unless you really stared at the white sleeve when I was wearing a wife beater underneath. Contrary to popular belief the walt disney world resorts are not staffed by conservative people. A great majority of the workers are "alternative lifestyle." Everyone I knew went crazy after they got off work and drank and partied etc. etc. It is just the outward image that is projected toward the public which is conservative. The disney look is stringent enough that it does not allow a goatee. It is all sugar and spice in the guest areas. Backstage it is chain smoking and foul language. When you smile and act extremely pleasant for 12 hours a day you need to unwind a bit. It always cracked me up that smoking was not allowed in the parks except for certain areas while all outside break areas were full of smokers.

I'm cool with tatoos and piercings, I have three of both. I like my tats, but it's hard to discuss technical matters with customers who are more focused on an earring or a tatoo. Don't wear earrings anymore, and my tat's are on display when I feel it's appropriate.

DOES THAT MEAN I"M BECOMING AN OLD FART???

Plain simple fact....if that redhead pinhead showed up at my company looking for a job, he wouldn't make much further than the front door. I don't give a fuck if he could build the space shuttle. That's just the way it is. You can't get people to take you seriously if you look like a freak. Might be good in the headshop or sexstore, but for most of the rest of the world if you want to be labeled a freak that badly, then you will.

The title of that tread is "Newest fads"... Tatoos (and most of the body decorations/modifications) are not a new fad, they came from tribal rituals that were created many hundreds years ago...

Maybe the humanity is reverting to it's primitive nature

Word Todrick, word.

I currently have 2 tats and 3 earrings, but I'll probably bump back up on the piercings and definitely on the tattoos. I plan to have 6, maybe 7 or so when I'm done..

I have dragons on both arms with Kanji in different forms. My right arm has two chinese dragons in a ying yang type formation with my middle name(Tatsuo, which means "dragon man" or "man born in the year of the dragon") tatted in Kanji. My left arm has a european type of dragon wrapped around a sword/dagger with "Only the strong survive" above it in Kanji.

To me they both represent my heritage(half American, half Japanese). I plan on getting my kids names tatted under the ying yang dragons, even my stepkids(I love 'em to death). Trying to decide on the right font and size is a bitch though.

It's all a personal thing in my opinion. Don't like my tats? Well, that's fine with me, I respect your opinion, but I could care less. Like 'em? That's fine too. I haven't really met anyone who doesn't like them in general. Thanks to California Tatoo in Savannah(shameless plug)!

To each his own..

This is the same company that is bringing you Pirates of the Carribbean, right?

Plenty of earrings, and I venture to guess some tattoos, hell, the whole movie looks like one big tattoo catalog. Skulls, crossbones, tattered flags, daggers, gold bullion, scantilly clad women, all it's missing is Harleys....
