what took him so long to get it fixed and why did he pay for the first one

the first tattoo actually wasn’t that far off, the guy just had bad application technique and artistry. That artist is probably way better at character/symbols than faces.

What if this dude wanted to get married again, think his new wife will enjoy looking at the deceased one every time they are in the sack?

What were his choices?

if you were such an independent thinker, you would do whatever you wanted, regardless of what other people thought.

just as you claim, i am an independent thinker with no desire to follow the crowd. as of now, i have only one tattoo, which i deliberated for 12 years, and there will likely be more in the future.

my ink (both current and future) was designed by someone i love and is of deep personal significance; my first and only tattoo is on my left shoulderblade, meaning that i can either show it off or conceal it, as the situation calls for. i got it because i wanted it~ not to fit in or conform to anyone else’s wants. i could care less about what other people think.

the original ink in the photo is awful; that being said, varago’s rendition is beautifully drawn… not my thing (i’d never dream of putting someone’s face on my body), but spectacularly rendered nonetheless. plus, it’s a great business arrangement~ the guy saves a bunch of money and gets his hideous ink fixed, the artist profits from the free publicity… everyone wins!

i don’t do it to prove anything, because i have nothing to prove. any ink on my body, present and future, is there because i want it to be.

So you appraise independent thought but ignorantly group everyone with tattoos as sheep…hmmm I’m not quite sure if you are aware of your contradiction or you are just naive, either way it’s a failed and misguided attempt to be unique (which ironically is what you accuse people with ink of doing)

A reference source should be as strong as possible. The first issue here is the photograph itself. It’s really quite horrible, with a garish rictus-like grin and a poorly lit cock of the head. The unfortunate interpretation just made it that much worse.

I have no problem believing that someone called “repealobamacare” is an independent thinking with highly developed critical thinking skills. Also you used the word “ironically” incorrectly.

Gee, Well ExCuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse Me!

I thought this was a open forum. A Place where people can express their thoughts and feelings.

Good to know that the interweb spelling and grammar police are on duty here at geekosystem.

My online name screams independence. Anyone who thinks it is constitutional that the government mandate you purchase something for the condition of being alive is a sheeple.

Says discussion on the top tab, log onto twitter or post on your facebook wall if you want to air out an opinion to the thousand of followers you have who care so deeply about it. A reason behind your opinion would also make the post more constructive.

The “low class loser” stereotype is mostly gone, with tattoos being so mainstream as they are today you should also get out of that way of thinking about tattooed people. But as you describe your experience with tattoos are within your group of dumb friends, maybe you just need to get to know more tattooed people. Try looking where no “low class losers” frequent.

Most people I know that are tattooed are educated and not dumb, most of them did have the common sense to check out artists and use more time choosing a tattoo than most people use choosing a new mobile phone. But I do know those dumb ones that drop in anywhere and choose the tattoo after minutes of browsing an “art book”, but the problem was never with the tattoo, it’s just one of the many stupid life choices they made.

Besides the Human body is beautiful on its own, Why destroy that beauty? If you into self mutilation. Go for it!

Some think it adds to the beauty, even though you think it destroys the beauty people luckily don’t care about your or some others persons opinion. A person is an idiot if s/he thinks s/he can get the approval of everyone.

No one says you have to like or Agree with what I post. I really don’t give a flying pigs ass,
But now that you mention it face piecings are not only ugly. They make me say to myself when I see someone with them. “Why do you hate yourself?”
Ears Ok, but one piercing in each for adults.
Not children who can not choose to make a desiosion for themselfs
Again If you want to look Rad and get tatoos ,ear piercings and purple hair. Wear a Freaking dog collar too “Spike”.

You didn’t strike a nerve, I just started discussing out of boredom. If a person very close to me acted the way you do towards something I like, a nerve would probably be a little struck.

Absolutely, I never considered us not Coo

whoa

It funny, Every Time I see that show “Lock up” almost all of the inmates will have tatoos.
What does that tell you?

I’m a Harvard Graduate, who teaches Jiu Jitsu at two schools. I have a Ying Yang tattoo on my left arm, representing balance in all things. I’m very fond of it. I’d also point out that in my graduating class at Harvard, many of the future Dr’s and Lawyers had a tattoo on them during school. You’d never know I have one because its under my suit, but yours is sadly a very ignorant and outdated view.

Didn’t I see you on a episode of “Lockup”?

Good for you! Enjoy it. I’ve traveled around a lot in this world.
To each his own. Outdated? Most people choose not to have a tatoo. Why do you think that is professor?

I’ll stay with the 86%. You make your own decision. I hope you don’t regret it later in life. I don’t agree with your position but I can still respect it.

Yes and I had hair down to the middle of my back when I was under 30 and so didn’t most of the people of my era. I cut my hair and so didn’t most of the people of my era. What will you do if you change your mind?

Cool, Do you aspire to Dennis Rodman? Amy Whitehouse (great talent though), Iron Mike, Pam Anderson. If I think of famous people with tatoos the only ones that come to mind are not my idols. IF you want to project some type of image go for it. Freaks in this world make it a more interesting life. I like freaks. But still most people probably have the same attitude toward this amusing subject but just don’t say it.

White ink… ouch…

I think tattoos typically are a bad choice; however, being human I have indeed myself made bad choices, not tattoos, but otherwise. Now judging a person with a tattoo, like 12voltman1 here does, is just WRONG. If you’ve never made a bad choice, feel free to judge people with tattoos. Otherwise, maybe you should examine just what other prejudices you have and ascertain if you are the person you want to be as you walk through life. The person who judges a book by its cover, or a person who truly gives people a chance prior to making a judgement.

You don’t know any “scientist”, MDs,or anyone with professional degrees.
