Yes. You have a butt-tattoo. You're SOOOOOO original!

[Blue-Jay]

So I pissed off a coworker today. She insisted on showing me her new tattoo which was the lower back/high ass type. It was a butterfly. I said "Wow. You're probably the first person to think of that, aren'tcha?"

Don't get me wrong, I really love body art, whether it's tattoos, piercings, brandings, scarring, etc. I find them very interesting and beautiful most of the time.

That said. I'm fucking sick of the lower back variety of boring-ass tats.

Great. You got a butterfly/dolphin/rose/squid/Bob Dole tattoo on your ass that everyone can see because you're wearing lowrider pants in a pathetic attempt to fit in with your neighbor Ramona. Wow. You must be a real rebel!

Ugh.

[matcom]

1. does she have a cute ass though?

yeah, it really matters :P

[Wickerman]

3. How sexist!

I was thinking the same and await the reply. +)

[matcom]

4. why THANK YOU

thank you very much :D

[Purrfessor]

38. Say...is there some way you could tattoo Smiley's little yeller butt?

What would look good there? Maybe something like this:

[Magrittes Pipe]

2. Actually, I think the Bob Dole tat would be quite original.

Once she's 80, it would start to look like the REAL Bob Dole!

[SOteric]

5. Or maybe a clock, and it could go kind of Henry Clay/Dali-esque

It’s a little vigil I’m holding folks, nothing to see here. Move along.

6. You're my hero, Blue-Jay

I've wanted to say that SO many times. :eyes: (Although I must admit that unlike you I don't have women clamoring to show me their ass-tattoos :( More's the pity.)

[Susang]

7. Couldn't you just have been nice to her instead?

Really, it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it even makes you feel good. I swear! ;-)

[Blue-Jay]

10. I'm nice to her every day, Sue.

Yeah, so I still feel kinda bad about being mean to the poor girl. I apologized and she forgave me. We're still friends. I was just having a bad afternoon, and her tattoo was poorly done and uninspired and I told her the truth. Had she gotten something cool (like YOU have) I'd have fawned over it. I just get sick of "followers" sometimes.

[Susang]

17. Problem is, tattoos are permanent

So what good does it serve to make her feel bad about her crappy tattoo right after she got it? She's going to regret it soon enough. Slamming her for it just seemed kind of cruel and not like you.

[Blue-Jay]

23. You're right, of course.

It's NOT like me to slam anyone. (Stop knowing me so well, wouldja!) She and I are still friends and will continue to be. I didn't comment on the bad art, but I was disappointed in her choice. She's usually a lot cooler than that, so I was surprised. I asked her why she chose a butterfly, and she said that she saw a cute one in the "book" that the hack-of-an-artist had.

[Susang]

27. Hey, even Drew Barrymore has a butterfly tattoo

Sometimes its cool to be uncool. :-) Some people are amazed that I have cats on my arm (as unusual as they may be).

[Blue-Jay]

28. I loved your arm-cats!

I think I even said so in person. I wasn't ranting about tats in general, just the dumb ones.

(for those of you who don't know, Susang has some fucking cool art on her arm, and I was impressed by it)

[Lefty48197]

8. I really hate that doily looking tattoo above the butt

It looks like they've been given a wedgie, and it certainly doesn't add anything to the female body. And the tattoo around the belly button? That one looks like an anus. To those that have it, I suggest getting an identical tattoo, directly on top of the first one, only in flesh tone the second time.

[lazarus]

37. I agree

also the Celtic knotwork around the biceps.

Be original, folks!

[jonnyblitz]

9. nevermind.

n/t

[Blue-Jay]

12. Go ahead Jonny. I can take it.

I was being a bit of an asshole at the time. I admit that.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

11. i couldn't agree more, infact i am sick of tatoos.

[Blue-Jay]

13. I'm not sick of them. I love tats.

I just don't like boring ones.

[fob]

20. I've mentioned this before Blue-Jay, but that bush* / squirrel pic

is the best. If I didn't despise bush* so much I just might get that scene tatooed on my lower back/high ass area!

[SheepyMcSheepster]

21. i take that back.

i would love to see someone with a Tatoo tatoo.

[gratuitous]

14. Tattoos are very useful

They tell me that a person would rather have a stranger inject dyes and inks under their skin than have money. I treat them accordingly.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

44. That's ridiculous

I think it's absurd and close-minded to judge somebody on what they chose to spend their money on. If it's something that makes them happy then what's wrong with it. It's good to know that you don't judge people based on looks or anything.

[Piperay]

15. Tattoos have become so common

that they are just boring. Used to be edgy to have one, nows it just another fad that's passed it's 15 minutes. :boring:

[tigereye]

19. lots of young folk

have the pretty Celtic ones, but they have also become a bit of a cliche. And I'm even Irish. I love those intricate knots.

Like the song says, "Hey I wanna be different, just like everybody else. "

[Blue-Jay]

22. I disagree.

I like tattoos. I think they're quite beautiful when they have some meaning or artistry. I just don't care for most fads, in what ever form they're presented. This particular one sucked artistically, and it has been done to death.

Maybe I'll get one that says "MOTHER" or a nice skull with a snake slithering out of the eye socket. Or maybe a cool dagger!

[Xithras]

16. There is no point on the human body that SOMEBODY hasn't tatooed

Case in point, I have a sun tat on the top of my head with the picture of a beautiful naked woman lounging in the outline of a flaming star, a remnant of my younger and rowdier days. It's hidden by hair today, but I dread the day that baldness strikes and I have to explain it to my kids.

My wife has a tat in an even more unmentionable spot :evilgrin:

[Blue-Jay]

26. I'd like to see that.

Yours, I mean.

If you'd like to show your wife's, I wouldn't complain.

[Xithras]

32. LOL, I'm not shaving my head to take a pic of it

You've no doubt seen pictures, and maybe even tats, of people lounging on a crescent moon, hammock style? My tat is a variation on that, except the woman is lounging within the circle of a rayed sun. It's actually kind of pretty.

It was originally supposed to get the sun on my head, with matching tats in various phases of the moon (also surrounded by nymphs) on the backs of my hands, the tops of my feet, and on my navel (the full moon). I didn't have the money to complete the other five right away, and lost interest by the time I did (which was a good thing, in retrospect).

[The Sushi Bandit]

18. I asked my wife to get one....

that said "Mark was Here" so when we did it doggie I would see it over and over again...

"Mark was Here"
"Mark was Here"
"Mark was Here"
"Mark was Here"
"Mark was Here"

and if she ever left me her new guy would always be reminded that "Mark was Here"


(a part from my standup comedy days)

[tom_paine]

24. "Selling Rebellion by the T-Shirt"

That's what I call it.

[catzies]

25. Ah, the "white trash birthmark." I'm with you.

When my daughter told me she wanted a tattoo, I told her, "Don't get one in any place that will show during a job interview." I should have been more specific about what job interview -- she has a tattoo that would make a stripper proud.

[Blue-Jay]

29. I don't equate body art with "white trash".

If you do, you're wrong.

[catzies]

40. No, sorry you misunderstood. I'm just with you on that

it's becoming a cliche for exactly the reasons you said. My daughter and her entire peer group all have them. Some of the girls even have matching cutesie ones.

[Padraig18]

30. I don't have one on my butt, but I do have one around my navel.

:evilgrin:

[Taverner]

31. I like butt tattoos!

Anything that keeps waistlines down and hemlines up...

[4_Legs_Good]

35. /cough /cough I agree /cough

Apparently we're in the minority, though.

david

[matcom]

33. but DOES SHE HAVE A NICE ASS DAMMIT?????

x(

[Blue-Jay]

34. Yes. Yes she does.

Ya perv!

[matcom]

46. well then, I say she get MORE TaTs!

and show them ALL OFF! :P

[4_Legs_Good]

36. I used to think tatoos were stupid...

maybe I just don't like rebels.

Now that they're common they seem much cooler to me.

Maybe I've just lightened up, though. I almost always have a positive reaction to body art now, whereas 10 years ago I would almost always have a negative reaction.

david

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

39. I have one there

But it's an original that I designed myself with meaningful (to me anyway) symbols. My complaint about tattoos is when people get designs and symbols that they have no idea of their meanings or their origins. I took me 2 years to research and design mine. It is permanent and you'd better be sure the design and/or symbol you put on there doesn't mean "I'm a rabid butt muncher" in some far off culture, ya know what I mean? you know the type "See my new tattoo?" "Yeah what does it mean?" "um, I don't know something like peace or something like that. I thought it was cool looking."
:eyes:


I had mine put there so, it would be seen only when I want it to be seen. Only problem is, once you start getting tattoos, it's hard to stop!
:evilgrin:

[LWolf]

41. I've regretted my tattoo for almost 30 years now.

It was a rebellion thing. My mother decided that I was incorrigible, and that she would send me to live 4 states away with a father I'd only met a couple of times to "show" me. So he could teach me to submit to authority, or something. And get me away from the boyfriend she didn't like. (I was 15. I still do not submit to authority.)

My 19 year-old boyfriend took me to his friend the tattoo artist on Van Nuys Blvd., and he tattooed a bluebird on my shoulder. With the boyfriend's name beneath. The boyfriend followed me across the country, and came back when my mother asked for my return. We were married for 10 years after I graduated from high school. When the marriage ended, I had another tattoo artist cover the name artistically with a branch.

For years I carefully made sure all shirts and blouses totally covered the tat; it would have been considered "unprofessional." Now it's tame.

Thirty years ago I was still not the first person to tattoo something stupid as a form of rebellion!

[Kat45]

42. Beavis & Butt-head had their great tattoo idea:

A tattoo of a butt with a butt tattooed on it. And it was tattooed on a butt. The escaped con tattooed it on their butts for them. :D

[Maat-hotep]

43. I can't help it.

My first reaction when I see someone with an ass tattoo, is "Oh, a pornstar."

Even the guys.

It just looks cheap. I'm not saying that's right, it's just the way I feel about it on a gut level. Same thing with pierced noses. Looks ugly. Like they've got a big metal booger hanging out of their nose. Ick.

I feel like I need to wash my hands.

[Loonman]

45. I wish some women would tattoo some Homer or Shakespeare

On their backs so I'd have something to read.

[CanuckAmok]

51. LOL!!!

I have to say "ouch" for your dates!

[rbnyc]

47. I have one.

I got it 16 years ago. It's not a butterfly. ;-)

Still, I'm not insulted. I can relate. Back when I got mine, it was way more rare. I always end up being trendy by mistake.

[Radical Activist]

48. I always thought about getting a Democratic

donkey tatood on my butt. So I'd have an ass on my ass. I guess that's like the Beavis and Butthead one.

[LynneSin]

49. <Cancels her appointment to get 'Bob Dole' tattooed across her backside>

Damn, I was going to get a pair of lowrider jeans and have 'Bob Dole' tattooed back there. I was doing it so I could impress sniffa - he voted for Dole in 1996

[CanuckAmok]

50. did she have a Celtic knot on her right bicep, too?

How about a dolphin leaping over her (pierced) navel?
