Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

[farouk]

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll!

NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

Not any ink yet.

Ppl do need to internalize that "ready" moment, before they actually do it. Seems that you did like the idea of a "solus" /"sola" design, anyway...

 

[farouk]

Moderation is fine but...as always, humans have to take it further than is called for. JMHO :) Not to mention that piercings and tattoos become very addicting to many.

Yes; I guess that a lot of Christian men and women would regard a simple, Bible verse or phrase tattoo or Christian fish sign <>< tattoo on a wrist, for instance, as a fairly moderate thing to do, anyway.

So if you did it, do you know yet what your wife would likely think?

 

[farouk]

I find that surprising...

Well, it didn't use to be many years ago, but it's now regarded as a very womanly thing to do, anyway.

I try not to think on things like that.

I try not to think on things like that.

Well, if you seriously consider something like a 'sola' tattoo, what her reaction would likely be would surely be part of it... :)

It’s my moms I’m worried about.

 

[Waiting on him]

It’d be like this

 

[farouk]

It’s my moms I’m worried about.

So I guess this means she doesn't have one, then...

FYI, it's actually what many seniors do now; I saw this report in Huffington Post:

' "...Most of my clients are in the older bracket," Gallo-Kohlas told The Huffington Post. "We see a lot of women in their sixties and seventies getting their first tattoos." Gallo-Kohlas recalls a woman in her sixties who got a tattoo because everyone in the golf clique at her gated community had one. It seemed like the thing to do in order to fit in.'

I don't buy the doing it to 'fit in' aspect, though.

Sorry miss read.

 

[farouk]

Sorry miss read.

It's okay...! (Wasn't sure what you meant.)

PS: @Waiting on him Anyway, I guess your mother already copes with her granddaughter's ink, that you mentioned...

She’s very critical, but love overcomes

 

[farouk]

She’s very critical, but love overcomes

Oh, she doesn't like it, then?

(I think you may even have mentioned that both her granddaughters have had it done — not remotely unusual now for a grandparent to expect — but anyway...)

 

[farouk]

Seems any way like your wife copes better with her daughters' ink than your mother does with her granddaughters'....

@GodsGrace [Godsgrace]Yes,,, that would be pretty. Even a bit larger.[/quote]

Yes, it's a placement that is increasingly widespread, isn't it?

 

[farouk]

Clients?

The person mentioned in the quote is a tattoo artist - a profession which has opened up considerably to women - who is noting just how many seniors she inks - again, especially women.
