yikes. :freak: I like piercings and all but da-um!

Um. Huh!? :confused:

I'd hire the guy... :freak:

His mother must be SO proud

Just wait and see how silly he looks at 80....




.... if he makes it past 40.


- GJS

I see nothing.

Man what headaches he must get!! LOL :lol:

Um ... how did he do that to his head? Bash himself with a hammer?

Qapla'

Question is not only how but why.

Whatcha wanna bet that he has a Venom-esque mouth full of fangs? I mean, if you're gonna go that far down the "How can I best terrify random strangers?" trail, why not?

I think he has issues.

sheeya. oh ya think? http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-034.gif

He's gonna be one hot dude at the retirement ranch 50 years from now. All the old ladies will want 'im... :freak:

Ten years from now piercings and tattoos will be so old fashioned young ladies will puke at all the 'old guys' who have them.

My daughter was just gonna "die" if she didn't get her lip pierced 3 years ago. She outgrew that crap maybe a year ago and had to have it surgically reclosed because whenever she drank something, it dribbled out of the piercing.

I don't even wanna think about what might be leaking outta this guy in a few years...:rolleyes:

Yeah. All the old ladies with those once fashionable tattoos above their sagging, wrinkled butts.

Some doors are best left closed! So lets keep that ugly door closed! M'kay! :thumbsup:

Ha! Ha!

Those Don Post masks look even better in color!...Much better than in the old Famous Monsters B&W pages.)

Yeah. All the old ladies with those once fashionable tattoos above their sagging, wrinkled butts.

My ex got one of those tattoos on her back right after we split up. She knew I didn't like tattoos at all, so she decided that would be a good way to get me mad. When I saw it, I started laughing! I knew I wouldn't have to look at it once we both got old. I thought it was a silly thing to do. (She also started smoking too---something else I detest. I guess she'll have the last laugh on me when she develops cancer! She really showed me!) Since our split, she's gained about 60 pounds. She went from about 120 to 180lbs in 4 years. I'm sure that tattoo has stretched a bit since then. Should she ever lose the weight, I'm sure there won't be many people lining up to see it!

Yeah. All the old ladies with those once fashionable tattoos above their sagging, wrinkled butts.
We call those [Backside (real first word is three letters and starts with "A"] Antlers 'round here.

Just wondering ... aside from guys in prison or the military, do any (sober) middle-aged people get tattoos?

We call those [Backside (real first word is three letters and starts with "A"] Antlers 'round here.

Yep. I have a German co-worker who uses that term. Sounds particularly funny with a German accent. I dated two different young women years ago who had small, subtle tatoos in intimate places. Didn't bother me but I never felt like it added anything to the package either.

Just wondering ... aside from guys in prison or the military, do any (sober) middle-aged people get tattoos?

I'm not exactly middle aged (34) but if I see a design I like or if I think of something meaningful to me, I'll get it done.


If you do choose to get ink done, please go to someone who knows what they're doing (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/220/499142480_9aa7caef52.jpg) (looks like the girl in high school no one would be caught dead going to the prom with so her brother took her out of sympathy)

Around here these are refered to as "Tramp Stamps"



Just wondering ... aside from guys in prison or the military, do any (sober) middle-aged people get tattoos?

I have 6 seperate tats (I'm 46), never got one when drunk and a responsible tattoo artist (IMHO) wouldn't do work on someone who hasn't at least picked out the design while sober.

... if I may ask. :)

Did you photoshop this picture?? Shouldn't there be a crack in there somewhere??

BTW, I personally call them asstoos.

The guys I know refer to them as "enter here" signs...

Nevermind!

I got the first one at 19 the last one at 42, though I'm thinking of another.

My next younger brother got one last week, he has 6 or 7.

My father got his first one at 54, he's 66 and now has 4.

I knew I wanted something Giger-esque, but what?

Then it came to me - the coolest member of the alien species! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...FACEHUGGER!

I want it on my upper arm making it look like it's gripping my arm and/or shoulder and have its tail wrapped around my arm a couple, three times.

The pic is just for the tattoo artist. It's supposed to provide reference to colors and contours of the skin. On one of the air bladders on the sides of it, where your jawbone would be if it were attached to your face, there's a kind of veiny appearance to it, making it look like tripe (cow, sheep stomach)

Just wondering ... aside from guys in prison or the military, do any (sober) middle-aged people get tattoos?

I got my first and still only tattoo for my 40th Birthday. Sober and fully cognizant of what I was partaking in........

Just wondering ... aside from guys in prison or the military, do any (sober) middle-aged people get tattoos?Yes. I'm currently 45 years old, and I just got two new tattoos a couple of months ago. They are my fifth and sixth, and I was neither drunk nor mentally altered in any way when I received each tattoo. Never been incarcerated, never been in the military.

Here's something to consider: The only difference between tattooed people and not-tattooed people is that tattooed people don't care if you're not tattooed.

I think I saw that first guy at WF.

What must a snotty sinus cold be like when you have holes that big in your nose? You'd need a Kleenex the size of a tarp to cover your nose!

Uh, exqueeze me, I don't mean to pee on anyone's bonfire, but this thread may be getting a little too OT. Remember what the Hankster said about personal things like piercings and tattoos.

Not that I mind -- I have no problem with people who have tattoos, as long as they're not on the face! It can be distracting when you're trying to converse with someone who looks like a Maori warrior.

but this thread may be getting a little too OT. Getting OT? Hey, it was OT from the get-go. ;)

Regarding the middle-aged tattoo thing, I now have a better idea what's what -- thanks.

I suppose I had thought that it didn't make a lot of sense for a young person's getting such a permanent mark on his/her body when his/her world view and tastes are in such a high degree of flux, as they generally are before 30 or so. Or 40. Case in point: my niece got her boyfriend's name tattooed on her shoulder at age 13. He got her name on his body ... but spelled it wrong. Dope. They broke up after a couple of years, and she had her tattoo turned into a rose. You can now see this big red blotch under the spaghetti straps in her prom photos.

In a strange way, it seems to make more sense to get the tattoo once one's world view has solidified a bit, and one's attitudes are a little more permanent, like the marking. Just an opinion ... :)

You're right. I couldn't care less what people do to their own faces and bodies, as long as I don't have to pay for it, in any way, now or in the future, AND as long as it doesn't make you any less responsible in your duties to others as a citizen of this nation.

Which is exactly the problem for many of them, as you point out. Young males and females I've known...they whine incessantly that older folk don't take them seriously, are reluctant to hire them, and are always "judging" them b/c of the bizarre things they've chosen to semi-permanently implant in their faces...as if they should be accepted in all areas of society no matter how freaky they knowingly and deliberately made themselves look. You try to explain the Law of Unforeseen Consequences is at work, but they're simply not mature enough to see it yet. They'd rather seeth and cop a martyr hissy. Ah well...as they say, "Youth is wasted on the stupid." I know mine was. They'll figure it out eventually, one way or the other, too late or just in time.

When my brother was in 'Nam, he claims to have sobered up on the table at a Bangkok tattoo parlor just before having "If you can read this, you're too damn close" tattooed on his butt.

We call those [Backside (real first word is three letters and starts with "A"] Antlers 'round here.

What we call them around here......I can't even say that much.

Here's something to consider: The only difference between tattooed people and not-tattooed people is that tattooed people don't care if you're not tattooed.
Sorry, but that's a bit of a prejudiced attitude on your part. I don't have any ink on my body, but I'll make fun of folks for having some of the ink they've put on in some locations - like the "backside" antlers comment - , but otherwise think that it's all good for that person. I could care less who has what on their body unless they're military and the tatoo violates reg's. Or if it's vulgar - in the form of a drawing/art work - and in an area that my young children might see. That's it, tho.

Honestly, I think there's nothing wrong w/having some ink on your body or piercing wherever. It's just never really appealled to me. And again, that's w/the caveat that some folks put piercings or ink in some pretty silly places and I reserve the right to find it either stupid or highly humorous.


Uh, exqueeze me, I don't mean to pee on anyone's bonfire, but this thread may be getting a little too OT. Remember what the Hankster said about personal things like piercings and tattoos.
Care to elucidate? I honestly don't recall reading anything of the kind from Hank....
Not that I mind -- I have no problem with people who have tattoos, as long as they're not on the face! It can be distracting when you're trying to converse with someone who looks like a Maori warrior.
Agreed as far as the distraction goes. At least, 'til you get used to seeing that person w/those tat's.

remember when I used to post about my new piercings or about the piercings I wanted to get? Yeah, Hankster or at least the PM Moderator had an issue with that:

1) Stay on topic. This is a modeling forum. This is NOT a political, religious or any other type of forum. If you wish to talk about topics other then modeling, then find a forum elsewhere that covers those topics.

2) No threads devoted to piercings or Members' personal problems. See DaRulz #1 above.

since it wasn't my piercing in question and the guy kinda looks like a Klingon even Fek'lhr wouldn't want to mess with...

That sounds like the rules specific to The Modeling Forum. Check the sign on the door - this ain't The Modeling Forum. ;)

That being said, there's only so much leeway to be given for off-topic threads here, so don't abuse it, folks.

I was going to get a tattoo in dive school along with the rest of my Second Class class, but an ol' SEAL Senior Chief pointed out "I've never seen a picture I liked so much I wanted it on the exact same spot on the exact same wall of my house for the rest of my life."

Kinda made sense to me, so I passed.

I got my first (and only) tattoo at about 32. Both my wife and I got them together and we both were sober.

A single (or maybe a couple) tattoo's can be a nice thing. However I feel most people (especially women) go overboard with them.
Like a lot of things people can get addicted to - the pain/euphoria of the tattooing process can be addictive for some people, and they can't wait for their next 'fix'.

Thats how it was for both my wife and I. Right afterward and for about six months we both were looking to get another. Fortunatly, we didn't get anymore just to satisify that 'fix', and now the desire to get another is gone unless I find something I really want. I wanted my first design for about 5 years before I actually got it.

I will say, the sexiest tattoo I ever saw on a woman, was when I was in some underground club in Chicago while I was there working on a movie. A work associate had taken us there in the middle of the night and so I never even knew what it was called or where it was except it that it was REALLY high-end and was in the middle of a residential neighboorhood.
The place was really dark and like I said had really high-end stuff around. And what struck me as really odd was that they had 'Dune' on one of the monitors.
Anyway, we were there for about 20 minutes when some very well dressed people came down the stairs. One of them was a tall asian woman (on a scale of 1-10 she was an 14) in heals and a red silk backless dress. Down her spine, her tattoo consisted of 4 or 5 chinese (or Japanese) word/symbols.

That sight is forever burned into brain and I'll always wonder what it said.

iirc, they implant a litlte bit of calcium under the skin, and then over time it begins to grow like a pearl in an oyster.

that, or a hard shaped piece of silicone or teflon.

It's amazing what a few years can do to people's perceptions. I had my ear pierced when I was 16 or 17 (30 years ago) and OMG! You'd have thought I'd just shot someone. Then the inanely stupid questions, "Are you one 'o them 'queers'?"

By todays standards, my ear being pierced aint s_ _t. Nobody even looks twice on the rare occassions I pop one in.

Never got any tats though. I agreed with George Carlin on that one..."Tattoos just make you that much more identifiable to the cops...and I'm not paying somebody else to do their job for them..." :p

My tattoo cannot be seen unless I raise my sleeve or take my shirt off. I had to take my t-shirt off the other morning after getting a stream of mole poison on my chest from a pump sprayer when the hose decided to let loose. He was more bothered by my man-boobs being laid out bare in public than by any tattoo I could have had visible. Ha Ha! I told him to lighten up or I'd drive over the railroad tracks!

the good news is, I've had 5 moles disappear of my body! hehehehehehehe
