Saying someone is starved for attention has a direct connection to the type of person they are. Who knows why she got the tattoo, but I can pretty much guarantee it has some sort of symbolic meaning to her, and like most people, she most likely doesn't care whether you or anyone else understand or "get" that meaning. I've never once met a person who got a tattoo because they wanted attention.

 

what about that .01% you eluded to?

 

"99.9% of people that get tattoos get them because the tattoo has some sort of symbolic meaning to that person. They couldn't care less if anyone else sees it or likes it, and most certainly aren't doing so because they're starved for attention."

I used to want to get a tatoo(s) really bad when I was younger. My Mom always told me then, "A tatoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary lapse in judgement."

I generally agree with that statement but still kind of want one of my family crest but the majority of tats that I see leaves me with the overwhelming question of, why?:idunno:

 

The girl's leg in the the picture does nothing for me at all.

 

I think an educated guess is that it is in everyone's DNA. Tattoos go back for centuries across a multitude of cultures.

Well, you're a mind reader.

 

So, adding a set of double Ds is always for some deep hidden emotional meaning?

Or having your lips botoxed out like a platypus, some personal hurdles to overcome?

 

Any chance any of these things that are right out there for everyone to see are so ,,,,,you know,,,,,so everyone can see them?

OK, the secret is out. I'm not really fat. My seemingly big gut is really just a 3D tattoo.

Absolutely some of it is. Impossible to know anyone's reasoning without knowing the person though.

Well, it's well done. I really have a full head of hair as well.

I have wanted a tattoo for a long time. I have it drawn out on paper. I save my mad money just so I can get it. Then, when I get the money saved, I count it. When I realize how much it really is, I head to Bass Pro Shop and buy fishing stuff. Then the cycle starts again

I have 2 tats. Both are in places that can be covered for work, church, or whatnot. There is a time and a place for everything.

 

What's the whatnot ?

If you believe that to be true, then how can you make the statement that 99.9% of people who get tattoos do it because of symbolic meaning to that person?

That was in response to his question regarding implants and Botox....No mention of tattoos in the post I was responding too.

No it was a statement about knowing someone else's reasoning behind their actions without knowing the person.

 

So where do you stand, possible or not possible?

I'm confident in what I said.

I find pure clear, clean skin on a woman, the most beautiful and sensuous thing in life. I've never understood why one would take something beautiful like the human body and mar it up with tats or piercings.

 

Just me.

99.9% of people that get tattoos get them because the tattoo has some sort of symbolic meaning to that person. They couldn't care less if anyone else sees it or likes it, and most certainly aren't doing so because they're starved for attention.

 

Does that include the 50% of 20 something's/college students that get tattoos who climb up in the chair half drunk and say"...oh yeah dude, that freaking monster clown face is AWSOME...that's what I want"! Because we all know THAT never happens.

I'm confident in what I said.

Good then you won't mind clarifying for me then.

 

So you don't think it is possible?
