tattoos

[redeye69]

Maybe its an Australian thing i do remember when i first arrived here there was a lot of negative response to them maybe its the convict stigma they have or it could have been the areas i was living as i have noticed they seem to be more accepted now, in any case my complex was only a fleeting thing and with all the positive responses i don't think its really a issue thanks

Wow thanks TNT that certainly answers my question

[sinfuldelight]

my wife has one, and i have more than one. actually i tell everybody i have only one tattoo. which turns out to be a back piece. the way i look at it, and this may just be a touchy subject for me. however, just because you have a tattoo doesn't mean anything more than you enjoy them. afterall, what are you going to spend $100, $200 or in my case well over $3000 u.s. dollars on today that you will have 10, 20 or even 50 years from now. just becasue someone has a tattoo doesn't make them an ass, they were an as long before they got the tattoo.some of the sexist women (my girlfriend and wife) have inkwork doen on them. but both have it for dif. reasons. but it does have a meaning to both of them.

Tatoos are a issue for some because of the old ways they did them, reused needles, some places didn't properly sterilize etc. However, now a days almost all use NEW needles, and for those that looked around and knew what they were shopping for could always find a tatooist that had a hospital grade sterilizer.

I myself have 2 and want another, I got my first one at 26 second at 32. I was picky as I KNEW it was forever, If your going to get one you ought to get the one you want and get it where you can see it.

The stats I ahve seen say that those who get their first one where it can NOT be seen by them will get a second one with in 6 months in a place where they CAN see it.

I've never seen a profile that said "No tats". I must not be looking in the right places.

Neither one of us have any tattoos. We don't have any philosophical objection to tattoos. Nor do we find them ugly or distasteful. We simply don't have any.

For me, it comes down to two reasons:

1) I'm really not partial to needles.

2) I don't really have anything "important" enough to say that would warrant going on a tattoo.

I have tats. Fresh has tats. We love tats on other people! In fact, our ad states just that.

For every "no tattoos" person out there, there's bound to be a "yes tattoos!" person. Keep looking 'til you find them.

The other issue that arises from the older tattooed folk is the concern over Hep B

It was a common occurance 30 or 40 years ago, before the current standards of state health requirements, as well as the requirement of all the utensils and tools to be sterile.

I have many emotions and feelings about our new adventure but this is the only negative one any advice about this would be welcomed . This thread may sound trivial to some but i have been judged because of them before , that is every things cool until they see my arms, any other advice would be appreciated also. Thanks in advance

If you are going to the 'Couples club' in Surry Hills- Sydney, they will not care if you have tattoos or not. Its the attitude and chemistry with the other customers. They will not stop you from entering beacuse of tattoos. Then its up to the people you met there. Neither my wife or I have tattoos, but one chap we met last year with whom she became close to for a while had his back covered with one. But during the lead up to our fun over drinks etc and with his shirt on we didn't notice, or ask if had any. Had he said that he had tattoos before hand, would we have continued, don't know but it wasn't relevant to what we had in common.

April has both arms 3/4 sleeved with hot rod and pinup art. Honestly, we have NEVER had anyone run from the tats, in fact, a LOT more are drawn to them.
