Ok, it may just be me and my self-diagnosed dyslexia and people's inability to understand what I mean by what I say, but I, in no way was referring directly to tatt2tony's girl's tattoos. I really couldnt care less what she or anyone has, I was purely stating, that in my own opinion, in general, those kinds of tattoo's (like tooninoz and Allies_snakes were referring to and described) dont appeal to me in the slightest...
It may just be that those pictures reminded "us" of it... (Anyone think of that before accusations were made that people were bagging on others etc?... Doubt it) Not saying that was the case for tooninoz or Allies_snakes or whoever or whatever else, but for me, it was purely a reminder/inspirational to voice my own opinion on those kinds of tattoos in general...
Personally, I like tattoos that have a lot of meaning and sentimentality behind them etc etc etc (Just like yourself tattoolizzie, if I recall correctly - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) and to me, and me only, tattoo's like "princess/goddess", stars, frangipani's, people with no ethnic background getting tribal or asian writing tattooed (i.e. full-blood Irish person getting NZ type tribal and Japanese Kanji - or what they think is Japanese Kanji as mostly its wrong in tattoo shops that I've seen - tattooed on them "cos its cool or the fashion") etc have no real meaning at all... Well I personally cant see how they would have any other meaning than "I was a brat" for say the "princess" one etc and really to me, they just seem attention-seeking... But thats just me, you dont have to agree.
I love stars with a passion, but its not something I would ever get tattooed as it is far too common and the reasons that I see most people get those tattoos lack meaning and sentimentality and have in a way, ruined it for me, as people like myself, will see me with these stars and other "tacky" tattoos and think how tacky and lame it is because most of the people they know with them have no meaning and sentimentality etc for them and think me, with all my sentimentality and meaningfulness etc, just got them coz they looked cool and was the fashion at the time etc etc and yeh, get where I'm going with this here? Or shall I explain further?
Also people like tooninoz, being a tattooist/ex-tattooist and having the experience to back his statements up, see many many many people come in and get any random flash art, tacky tattoos, just for the hell of it, without any meaning or thought or sentimentality attached to it etc, and they know all too well that in 5-10yrs those people will regret it etc and that fact alone, has ruined it for them (people like tooninoz)... Ever think of that? Tony's girlfriend may have sentimentality and meaning attached to them, but no one but her or tony or her friends would know that (and she or Tony doesn't have to explain it to anyone on here), all they/we can see is what I've just explained etc... So for me, it was purely an observation not a direct attack on her.... And I in no way can speak for tooninoz or Allies_snakes, I am purely putting forth an alternative way of thinking/a different light on the situation, as it seems conclusion jumping and such has become of such. And yes, given, I maybe should have put JMO or JMHO or "each to their own though" at the end of my statement etc, but seriously? Do we have to go to that extreme to prevent this crap ALL THE TIME?
Oh, and while I'm here, kinda forgot the first time round
:lol: I was saying I liked how the tattooist refuses to work with people like Allies_snakes was describing as it would prevent a LOT of people getting tattoos on a whim, just for the hell of it, cos its the fashion etc and regretting it later on in life... It shows in a way, that the tattooist cares more about the "hobby" than the money... Which is always good to see, someone actually caring about what they do and what they contribute to as a whole etc etc... It makes people go back and have a second think on it and to see if they really really want it etc etc Get what I'm saying here...? Just thought I'd add that as it was obviously necessary that I explain myself yet again
:lol:
Phew! Essay or what! Sheesh, I'm exhausted, how bout you? Time for a beer methinks LOL!
Cheers
