Thread: Covered in tattoos.

On the eve of Independence Day in America, I content myself with the knowledge that one of my forefathers probably shot one of Spooky's forefathers.

I'm out. Peace.

Seconding this. It is instinctive for a reason. Tattoos are one of the signs of untreated trauma survivor (via ThinkBeforeYouSleep):

How to recognize one:

1. Self-destructive behaviour (noticeable tatoos, very long nails, numerous piercings, substance abuse, bad eating habits)
2. Voice mannerisms of 5-6yo. Often high-pitched.
3. Often they try to enact their vision of "normal". Thus they overact. (ie. crazy eyes, weird facial expressions...)
4. They actively seek drama/abuse

Roma Army is the embodiment of all these rules.

Sounds like most women now are batshit crazy and can’t help but express it physically through tats and piercings.

I also think there’s some sort of passive aggressive thing going on where they want to look slutty…don’t judge me…no I’m a slut…I mean it’s just art…blah, blah, blah.

Women LOVE attention….from any angle they can get it.

There's an obvious fix for that.

I'll admit to having an immediate, negative bias against anyone, man or woman, who is demanding attention. Maybe it's my bias, maybe it's common sense but I have a negative reaction to anyone who has facial or neck tattoos, large and obvious body piercings, or dyes their hair some outlandish color (or colors). It's all a matter of scale to me: someone has a tattoo on the shoulder, wears a couple of earrings and uses a little bit of hair dye to "fight the gray", doesn't have the same effect. It's someone who's clearly trying to get strangers to pay attention to them that gets the negative reaction from me.

One of the strongest reactions I have is when I see middle-aged or older people (mostly women) who dye their hair bright colors or a combination of bright colors. If I see someone 40 or older with a garish tattoo I think, "maybe they got it when he/she was young and foolish" but dyed hair? My thought is "you're in your 40's and you're still a juvenile screaming for attention."

In the old days, the mildly insane tried to pass themselves off for normal.

Some men regretted not seeing the subtle signs, having put their dick in crazy, marrying crazy, and then suffering until the divorce...and after, as well.

Now, the crazy is not so subtle. The crazy like telling you how crazy they are and trying to convince you they are normal. Give them social media and a catch phrases like 'my truth,' and they wont stop telling you.

The piercings, the tattoos, the tarantula eye lashes, Kool Aid colored hair are like the rattle on a snake, or the distinctive colors on a frog that the natives have learned to avoid because it is poisonous.

Sometimes, it is good that the sluts advertise themselves. A generation or so ago, you had to root them out.
You knew they were like a rental car, or a video cassette or a DVD that was fun to watch, once, maybe twice, but was NOT worth the purchase price. Or like those bicycles that you borrow...but only for a little while...before leaving for someone else to ride.

10% of something, beats 100% of nothing at all.

And the most popular of all (especially these days);

This is the most profound thing I have read all month!

Went to WalMart today. (Yeah, yeah, I know, but neither Lowe's nor Sam's Club had the Mexican Coke I was looking for.)

Counted 4 different grandmother aged women with noticeable tattoos, at least a total of a square foot of tatoos.

"Daddy, why does granma have a big drawing of a big black bat on her chest?"

"Oh, son, that's not a drawing.
It's a tattoo...and when she got it done, it was a beautiful rainbow-colored butterfly."

I went to my local small town community pool today — almost all the moms had tats…arms, thighs, back, etc. Looked like a bunch of graffiti. And some of these young women think their tats look cute, but they should look at the 38+ year old moms that have hit the wall….they end up looking like some skank-ass dirty piece of gutter trash. By 50 they look like dirty ash trays.

They should all get tattoos that say "don't fuck me" because that's how I read women with tattoos!

There was a comic strip some years back that depicted an old woman telling younger ones to not get tattoos. The saying was "That eagle on your back when you're twenty will be a buzzard in your crack when you're fifty."

When I see a woman covered in ink, I am instantly repulsed. That is how I react to any woman that obscures/adulterates her natural beauty.

My father and I didn't get tattoos because we felt that it detracted from our God-given looks. If the enemy ever captured us, they could trace our units from our ink. (This would betray our troop movements).

Not for me, nor far anyone I care about, thank you!

Those are good points. I hadn't made the connection between the increase of slovenly, lascivious behavior and the popularity of ink on women, but I believe there is a connection. Someone with extremely bad judgement who doesn't think of the future gets tats. Screwing around with every dude including the shoe shine boy is slatternly, reckless behavior, and so is getting a tat.

I hadn't thought about the disadvantages during war, but what you says makes sense.

The weather was very nice were I live last weekend, so I took my son to play some ball at the park.

While there, close to where we were, there was a group of about 6 or 7 late-teen/early 20s kids playing with volleyball. Of said group, two girls had weird coloured hair: one of them long "Hulk-green" hair and the other, a very cute petite brunette, short shoulder-lenght hair with what I would best describe as "bright-neon-purple" highlights.

Both these girls were cute and had slim bodies! Both could easily be in a cheerleading squad, as cute as they were! But instead, they chose to go down "the circus freak look".

As a father myself, when I look at these young girls, and also boys, with these freakish looks (bizarre hair colours; oversized or weird placed piercings; distasteful tattoos), I always wonder what their parents think of them? Do they, the parents, blame themselves? Or do they just don't care that their kids are so fucked up?

I don't know... Maybe I'm just a late 40s "old guy", who just can't see this behaviour as something "normal".

There are going to have modernize this. "Ladies and Gentlemen. Step right up to the freak show and see the last of her kind. It's a woman, by herself, not obese, no tattoos or body piercings, natural haircolor, doesn't own cats, no obnoxious labels or message on her clothing, and she doesn't carry or look at a phone every 30 seconds".

Once in a long while during my travels I think I might've spotted one. But inevitably within 30 seconds out comes the phone.

One of the strongest reactions I have is when I see middle-aged or older people (mostly women) who dye their hair bright colors or a combination of bright colors. If I see someone 40 or older with a garish tattoo I think, "maybe they got it when he/she was young and foolish" but dyed hair? My thought is "you're in your 40's and you're still a juvenile screaming for attention".

DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!

Dad sat in the tattoo artists chair and let the tattooist run an empty needle up and down his arm. (Prior to this dad told him that if he had put ink into it that he would kill him - literally). The blood ran down his arm and father said, "I'm not afraid, I just don't want any permanent ink on my body."
The others got their tattoos... father didn't.

Father was a member of the Underwater Demolition Team (a.k.a. the "Frogmen"). These were the forerunners of the Navy Seals created in 1962 by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. My dad was one of the original "bad @$$ boys" long before the SEAL Teams of today.

He didn't need to prove how tough he was... because he WAS tough! He had no need to show off, because he could kill, kick ass, and take names anytime, anyplace.

God as my witness, this is a true story.

This is a great story. Thank you, brother. Your dad sounds like an awesome man.
