It has tame down, but a lot companies, at least here in the states, are still strict about hair color, hair length, tattoos, and piercings.

When I got my tattoo, they made me sign a paper saying this is the tattoo I want I guess so they wouldn't get a lawsuit it this sue happy world. They also make sure you are of age (18 in my state) and aren't drunk.

You had to sign something? That's interesting. Every place is different. I have had one other job during the last 7 years, and during the interview I wore a long ...

Let me add that, as much as I dislike the look of them myself, I couldn't be more supportive of people's right to wear them for themselves. The notion of somebody being fired for getting a (tasteful) tattoo outrages me.

LongHairedLady

The work force has gotten pretty casual these days, which is nice. For myself, I work in a "contractor" type of environment, and there are no rules about tattoos/piercings/hair colour, which is nice. I have been there for 7 years so I have gotten quite used to that, and stopped being cautious about when I put them. ...

Again, you're not a tattoo person, so you don't see why people get them in the first place or more less remove them, but its like the car, just some times you got to do stuff.

Haha, I probably should've mentioned that I'm not a car person either! Haven't had a valid license since '97. So I'm doubly biased/ignorant.

It's funny you should say that, Alissa. On the DM Beatles forum (http://www.dmbeatles.com/forum.....pic=7724.0) there's a thread about Beatles tattoos. On the third page someone says she's thinking of getting "The movement you need" on her shoulder. It's a nice idea.

I remember this post from a few years back. While I swore I would never get a tattoo (nothing aganst 'em, just didn't want 'em on me), this one intrigued me. So now, my wife is considering a tattoo that will make a statement based on her belief that animals should be ...

Oh I'm familiar with those henna hand-calligraphy things - I work with a lot of Middle Eastern women here in the office! Those are certainly interesting, and obviously elaborately done. As far as their personal appeal to my eyes (which is obviously of less than no relevance in the matter), they're certainly a nice change from barbed-wire around the elbows and personal names done in huge Olde English script.

I guess I can't easily explain what I meant by "pointless" – I understand that people can and will change their minds. I meant it's "pointless" like in ...

That's pretty encouraging to know that the technology has evolved enough to make tattoo removal feasible, and it kinda shoots down my (and everybody's) "stuck-with-it-for-the-rest-of-your-life" argument.

But on the other (tattooed) hand, on another level, it also makes the whole procedure seem pointless in a different way, with the permanence that was once taken for granted now moot. If the permanence (and the implied commitment) isn't an issue, wouldn't it be easier to just go for temporary tatts? Or are they looked down upon for not being legitimate?

I wouldn't say it would be pointless to get it removed ...

I read a few his quotes on that page, but couldn't find this one (may have been cause I was on my phone at the time). Anyways, I like his philosophy, he kind of reminds me of George Carlin. Thank you for showing me.

There's also two sets of quotes on the thread. The set I posted, followed by LongHairedLady's highlights of the set I posted. The quote I used in this thread didn't make her highlights post.

LongHairedLady and SkyNumberNineNumberNineNumberNine I think it is ridiculous that you are having to defend personal choices here. It's not like you're admitting to being Maxwell with his Silver Hammer. I'm never going to get a tattoo. Too chicken-sh*t. Doesn't, and hasn't, stopped me admiring great tattoos. There's a quote I like about the lives people choose for theirselves. LHL, you'll recognise it, already part of a conversation. Sky, if you haven't, I think you'd like, look at page 20 of The Official "Choosing Between Two Things" Thread, post 386. Here's the quote, "What business is it ...

I kind of feel the same way, in that there is no image I would like enough to have on my body for the rest of my life. If I ever got a tattoo, I just know I would end up hating it. My mom's a nurse, so she deals with a lot of old people, and she says she has seen tattoos do some pretty weird stuff. My grandpa's eighty though, and his tattoos are a little faded, but other than that they look fine. He's not all wrinkly, though, so that's probably why. I don't think ...

If folks want to get them fine, some look good, some look idiotic (faces of famous people you'd be guessing at for months as the likeness is nothing like them) but not for me. I just dont like the thought of them on me and know i'd regret it within 3 seconds.

Always makes me laugh when reading of folk who get tattoos of their favourite footballer or sportsman who then promptly moves on to a rival club.
