What's with all the tattoo's...?!

I remember when you had to go to a circus to see that much body ink...

But the  Illustrated Man had moving picture tatoos and the last tatoo was ominous. This is first Ray Bradbury book I read. It hooked me on his other books. Some of the best hour tv shows were written by Ray Bradbury.

 

Back to the Topic. Like Tekmantoo, I have seen tatoos that were works of art, but to wear one piece of art your whole life seems extreme. 

I do appreciate well done Henna Tatoos. Though most of them appear to be for the Husband's eyes only. Most of the patterns spring from Muslim artwork.  See https://www.earthhenna.com/about/earth-henna-faqs/

That's a slippery slope sometimes isn't it...

Yes, it can be.

 

It depends on the subject and how it's executed...

 

Using my air rifles as an example, I am really impressed with people that can shoot targets at 100yards and the cluster of pellet holes can actually be called a 'group'...Me?..I would be happy to hit within a foot of what I was shooting at. 

 

I certainly would not be impressed,  or even show interest, in anything corrupt or immoral, no matter how well it's done. ..

At my age, I see many older people, mostly women, with faded out, sagging tats, out smoking their cigarettes. Cheesy and stinky.

You did mean to say 'tats', correct.

I heard about a guy that had a sudoku puzzle tattooed on his chest so women would look at him when he went to the beach...

Maybe I’m old fashion but I think tattoos make a woman look cheap....and men as well. 

 

When someone ask me why I don’t have tattoos...I tell them: “you don’t put bumper stickers on a Ferrari.”

I'm a Diabetic and very soon they are bringing out a small tattoo that will change colour to tell you when your blood sugars are low... it will save trying to get blood out of your finger. 

 

Today I experienced another hypo... so I'm seriously interested in getting this tattoo.. it will also help paramedics to diagnose you quickly. 

 

It's something to think about and consider.

Yes, that's a completely different situation. Besides, I guess that tattoo can be put in some discreet place where it doesn't attract attention.

Yes it would have to be discreet and yet readily seen for paramedics... maybe the inside of a wrist?

yes, and at lest I didn't say tramp-stamp, which many of my students have had, and I did see a pic of a grandmother in Maine with a lower back tattoo. creepy

I once bought an ink stamping thing:

 

The idea being to stamp “Jehovah’s Witness, NO BLOOD” on my upper arms. (Can’t remember why I thought I wouldn’t have my blood doc with me.)

Our young daughter thought it a great idea and stamped multiple copies all over her arms and went to a party!

It got a couple of “That’s a good idea!” comments anyway.

 

(I wondered if I might ironically die of blood poisoning from the ink. 😮 )

My brother had to get a couple tattoos - but, you will never see them.

 

They are markers for the medical treatment he had that the machine needed to track correctly.

Yeah,  I had to get those too--

3 tiny little spots, like if you poked yourself with an ink pen....

There are a number or medical markers referred to as tattoos. Not all are made using ink, and have a very different  purpose than those mentioned in the Bible at Leviticus 19. These are  referred to as disfigurement in the IT book.

And also, what are these things going to look like in 5 years?  15 years? 

 

 

 

I allowed my husband to persuade me to get a very small red rose bud tattoo over my left breast after we were married 10 years.  This was totally unlike anything I would do.  Hence the discreet placement of it. After almost 36 years of marriage and 26 years of this ‘secret ever so small rose bud🌹 I am now the owner of a long stem rose!’  See what knowing Jehovah earlier on could have avoided?

There are quite a number of medical procedures that utilize tatoos for monitering growth an other diagnostic information. This has to be good news for you. Have you given any thought as to how long that tatoo will survive in the new system? Send me a PM when it is gone.

[BenJepthah]

This is one of those things that when you apply everlasting life to it makes a significant change. If it WAs a Memorial tattoo ( dead loved one ) to begin with it will be meaningless when that person is reunited with their formerly deceased. And imagine that the artwork ( no matter how beautiful) is to be born FOR-EV-ER ( spoken as in the Sandlot).

I saw an advertisement for rubber/type wedding rings for safety issues. google silicone wedding rings

I just read about a man named Alex Lewis, UK, who caught a cold a few years ago and it resulted in Strep A, which infiltrated his body. He lost all four limbs and parts of his face. He was fitted with prosthetic lips, but his son was afraid to kiss him. I read that there was a plan to tattoo over his lip prosthesis for a more realistic appearance.  Hope it works.

Soure please, I am already upset, perhaps vomiting may help.

That's very interesting.  So it's another way to change or cover Jehovah's creation.

I don't agree those are good arguments against the tatoos... Otherwise the same could be said about makeup or painting the hair
