food for thought.
Remember that a doctor, nurse and the coroner will
eventually see your tattoos.
The hardest part is getting the coroner to listen to the story as to why you had your college boy/girlfriend's name tattooed on your belly in
Olde English!!
Extended care hospital attendants will ask you about the tattoo on your back....Alzheimer's
may not let you explain it coherently.
Pierced body parts will always get hung up in clothing.
Don't get Disney characters tattooed on your body!
Two words, Copyright Infringement!
If you really like your tattoo, have it someplace
where people can see it! It gets tiring to hear you brag about your tattoo and not being able to see it because, 'it's hidden'.
Before you tattoo, take a Sharpie and draw it where you want it.
Remember, don't panic when your 'MOM' tattoo spells 'WOW' from your POV!!!
Food pictures do not make good tattoos, neither does "SUPER SIZE it for 49 cents".
Tattoos done on a dare always suck.
So do tattoos done on derrieres!
The colors in dog and cat tattoos blend after time!
"Is that a schnauzer on your arm or a badger?"
Find a tattoo artist that knows how to spell,
Find a tattoo artist that can draw!
And finally,
Think about your grandchildren climbing into your
lap on a Sunday afternoon and asking you about the
devil's head smoking a ciggie, dice, beer bottle,
nude women on the back of the '56 truck (your first car!!!) with the slogan "SWORN TO FUN, LOYAL TO NONE".....
"Is that the reason you don't do to church with Grandma???"
I like tattoos......i was just having fun.......
More food for thought:
Remove your nose ring before blowing your nose......
You can also attach a leash to a nose ring.......
If the Lord had a nose ring would that make Him the Lord of the Ring??
When I was growing up I was barely able to get my haircut without asking permission. I'm sure glad times have changed and the younger crowd can express themselves more freely. I don't see anything wrong with coloured hair or tattooes, mind you, I'd never do it myself. To me I look at it the same way as PS, if it makes you feel good, go for it.
My parents don't really care what I do with my hair and body as long as it doesn't result in grandchildren (the non-furry kind at least)
I remember when I wore my first halter-top back in the 70's. You should have seen my mom's face when she realized that I wasn't wearing a <gasp> bra!:eek: :eek:Quote:

To each his own.

COOL!!!!! can you draw ME a devil's head?????
;)
Catland your thread reminded me , yep it was the bra-less look in my young day too, remember the boob tubes, I loved the halter top, so its been good to see them back in fashion somewhat.
Honestly we go on and on about the fashion today, how awful and skimpy some of it is, but really they are not much different to my young days, most of them are being revived in some way or another anyhow.
Most of the young ones do indeed wear bras these days, very few would get away with not, girls seem to be getting larger these days, and those rounded bras and push-ups are all the look here in NZ.
Exactly! Worry more about the stuff that has a permanent effect on life.Quote:

This reminds me of that anti drug commerical where you see this young kid dressing up and he's dressed in all black clothing with chains and peircings and dyed hair in a ponytail. Then you see him walk at the door and him mom asks him where he's doing and with who and he smiles and tells her all the info she asks for. Then it says "Let your kids be who they are" and reminds parents that they need to make sure they know what their kids are doing but still let them be who they want.
I've seen that commercial before. Great message. :)
There's nothing wrong with dying, peircing, tatooing or whatever. It shows your character, and people need to get over that it's always going to be around, and there's nothing they can do to stop it. One of my best friends has a bright blue mohawk. He's such a cool guy, and he's so smart. He gets straight As with an ocasional B sometimes. Whenever I'm with him, people will stare, and automatically think we're getting into trouble.
My other two best friends, both have dyed hair. One, Alex, her hair is natural blonde on top but maroon on the bottom. Amy's hair is just straight black with neon pink streaks. They're both great people. They're not exactly the smartest people alive, but they're passing and doing fine. Their parents don't care what they do, when they're home, or anything either..the total opposite of my parents.
My parents are always on my back, and even object against my friends without getting to know them just because they look like they might be a smoking druggy or something..I can't dye my hair until I'm 14. Even then it has to be natural colors. I'm not aloud to get my belly button pierced til I'm 15, and no cell phone until 15 either. I don't know what they're holding back on..:mad:
I love that commercial, Laura! It's the greatest.
Ditto. I have a few what they call "gothic" friends, they think they're strange, and are druggies just because of the way they dress. They don't know them at ALL, so I don't feel they can judge. (they are great friends, BTW. :))Quote:

No cell phone until your 15?! My parents actually WANTED me to have one. I could care less about it, I only use it for "emergencies". :p
