Sounds pretty, and convenient. (smile) And scary, I'm terrified

Physical pain is the least of it (tats really don't hurt much, after 30
seconds the area numbs and all you feel is some heat and the vibration
from the needle), but the emotional pain can last for life... never get
a tatoo on a whim, especially not anything weird... knowing how Damsel
deals with emotionality (she doesn't) I'd not recommend she get faucet
nipples (let big brave Crash get em first). A topless Betty Boop with
huge mammarys, in full view on her lower leg, would be far more
*ironic* and infinitely more appealing, titilating, and um, tasteful.

Never consider a tattoo for the fun of it, the fun element wears off
real fast, like in about two hours, a lot faster than the scab falls
off... and don't let anyone tell you it can be removed later, yeah, the
SKIN can be removed, the scar will be far more disfiguring than any
tattoo (better off tattooing over with flowers)... even the new fangled
laser removal leaves horrible scarring (like a burn victim). Think
twice, cut once.

I have lots of tats, but I have no regrets (only one girl's name, now
under posies). My favorite is on my left inner forearm, been there
'bout 50 years, a heavily testicaled octopus fornicating with a damsel
sans dress. Women love it.

Never get a tat you'd be ashamed to show the world, including your
mother, father, and your kids.

A common hobby of Dermatologists is collecting photos of their
patient's tattoos, more than one has mine archieved.

This just reminded me... I was at the women's clinic waiting to get a
mammogram and they had pamphlets for cosmetic eyelinter tatoos on the table.
Great! We'll smash your boobs *and* poke you in the eye in one convenient

Golly gee, thanks.

My parents would love it! My daughter has at least 4 tattoos that I'm
aware of including a huge one that she designed herself. I don't think
a couple faucets would harm her psyche.

I think I'll just stick with posting recipes and leave the "fun" stuff
to others. Do you take candy away from small children, too?

Try that on your eyelids, then say that. ;-)
I've also heard of genital tattoos... but I'd pass.

And most tattoo parlors won't cater to you if you are drunk.

Actually, a friend of mine at work talked about having a little
tasmanian devil with a lawnmower tatooed right next to her pubic hairs,
then shaving a stripe thru them. ;-)

I thought it was pretty funny.

That's one reason I've never had a "picture" tattoo done. I've always
been afraid I'd get tired of the artwork. The eyeliner was different. I
got it when I was 31 and I'm now 43 and have yet to regret it.

My mom (ex-step) did the eye liner, lip liner (I think), and had her lips

shadow if she wants. She's totally pleased with the results.

Hmmmmm... I've been thinking about having my 'moustache' done... perhaps
I'll rethink that. I want to have my reduction done first - been wanting it

Have you seen a piercing yet? ;-)
That's just scary!

Reminds me of a joke tho'...

This guy had a girlfriend named Wendy, and he had her name tattoed on
his penis. When he was soft, all you could see was the "W" and the "Y".

He went on vacation to Jamaica and visited a nude beach. He noticed a
tall Jamaican guy at the outdoor bar that also had "W" and a "Y' on his
penis. So he asked the guy, "Gee, you have a girlfriend named Wendy too?"
They guy answers "No Mon', my tattoo says Welcome to Jamaica, have a
nice day"......

;-)

Cheers!

I've wondered about permanent lip color. :-)
Jan only mentioned lip liner.

Hot waxing should reduce your moustache considerably with repeated
applications over time, or so I've heard. :-)

I've not had to deal with that yet.

Patches, no need to hurt yourself or the hostess. Pretend to be
saving your appetite for the main dish (or whatever course is coming
next). If it's dessert, you're too full because you stuffed yourself
with all those wonderful preceding dishes.

I've never considered doing any of that stuff because it HURTS.

A whim is momentary, but a tattoo lasts a lifetime. Carol can always
have temporary tattoos designed to conform to her whims.

Personally, tattoos have always turned me off no matter how "tasteful"
they are (like those vines around ankles).

Tattoos of WWII are the equivalent of breast augmentation today:
ubiquitous, but not the smartest thing to do. I'm older, those men
are really OLD farts and their tattoos look even worse to me now.

Have you found faucets.com? I think that's the one my husband found

Darn right it hurts! I have melasma so am do the retin-A along with
hydroquinone. My dermatologist recommended the laser and I've had two
successful treatments to the point the melasma has faded and lessened
significantly. I just recently started high dosage MSM as there is some
indication that it helps to break up the hyperpigmentation. I'll give
that a 2 mo trial and if no results will drop it back to the maintenance
dose. At least the MSM doesn't hurt. It's just a pain in the butt
taking a couple of pill ever couple of hours!

Tattoos needed last a lifetime today. My dermatologist offers laser
removal of tattoos. I'm sure it would be a lot more expensive than the
laser treatments I'm getting and I know there will be some level of
discomfort.

Need not?

I think that a person going into a medical related field these days should
take a serious look at the tattoo removal business. I can't believe the
number of young girls who are getting those idiotic tatoos. Don't they
realize what those things are going to look like in a few years. I can just
imagine who attractive something like Pamela Anderson's barbed wire will
look when the woman has 14 inch lunch lady arms. I saw a woman a few weeks
ago with some sort of wilted flower dropping off her cankles.

I agree! DS had a red maple leaf tattooed between his shoulder blades.
His reason being is he wants to make sure everyone knows he is
Canadian. DD has a small tattoo just at the top of buttocks. That
should look wonderful with a couple of stretch marks if she ever has
kids I thinks some are going to regret getting the tattoos but
others won't the same as piercings. Another DS had his eyebrow pierced
but quickly lost it in order to secure the job he really wanted. We've
learned over the years not to make a big deal over these types of things
as they tend to resolve themselves as the kids mature. However, anyone
going into tattoo removal could make a killing financially! I'm paying
$160 per laser treatment for melasma that should take 3 treatments. I
just checked the services offered pamphlet by my dermatologist. Pricing
for tattoo removal starts at $275 per treatment. The number of
treatments are determined by the number of colours, size, design, and
location of the tattoo. The pamphlet indicates that tattoo removal may
take several laser treatments. I would think it is cheaper to get the
tattoo than remove it.

I'm with you. I shudder to think of what things will look like
in, say, 40 years or so in the average nursing home...ewwwww.

In the immortal words of the great philosopher (Jimmy Buffett),
it's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.


Bob M.

I apologize for having made this post. I have been considering getting
my ears pierced, but I seem to be allergic to most metals. So I wanted
to go the the tattoo place to check on that because they're more
knowledgable than the high school girls at Claire's.

Anyway, we got to talking about the faucet tattoo idea we had back in
2001, and thought we'd ask about a tat price, just for shits and
giggles.

I still think it would be fun, but am unlikely to do it. I'd love to
see the look on the coroner's face if I did, though. LOL!

Sorry for any anger, horror, etc. that this post generated.

No anger, but I was absolutely horrified... as in "perish the thought,
woman".


Don't be so sensitive. It was the impetus that brought up all sorts
of other thoughts about tattooing practices.... that's the crux of
conversation.

I hear laser removal takes longer and is more painful than putting
them on... that makes tatoo removal kinda like divorce, doesn't it?

But how do you think a body with that sort of decoration will fare? I
don't think they will be considered a "classic" design when they are
80 years old.

I personally thought it generated a rather cool thread. ;-)

It sure does - LOL! Speaking of divorce, I'm really bumbed.
The day I was making lasagne, a good friend of ours stopped by. The
sauce was well underway & for some reason I didn't really feel like
breaking the momentum. He & his wife have been together 33 years.
She's decided that she wants a divorce and this past weekend they
decided how to divide up the property & assests. I'm shocked as they
seemed to have everything & appeared to be the perfect happily married
couple. He's in shock too. I haven't heard from her yet but I'm sure I
will. What a bummer!

You get used to anything with enough time. And this isn't something
that was invented yesterday. I'm guessing that there are old sailors
with major tattoos who are now 80, and somebody in the nursing home gets
to see them when they help change their diapers.

My uncle was in the Navy during WWII and, along with a lot of other
young sailors, got a tattoo on his forearm. Somewhere in his 70s he
said something about having hated that tattoo for most of his life. I
asked him why he hadn't had it removed. He said, "Because every time I
think about doing something stupid, I look at that tattoo." <g>

That's my point. Tattoos are ugly to begin with and even uglier on a
wrinkled body.
