Tatoos

[Serenity]

You guys are a wealth of information!

Nicole, I knew you would have an answer. Thanks, I'll take a look at the japanese art.

JM, why do you know somebody in NYC that would do that?! That's sick! Are you representing a client?

Shapley, how about a tattoo sticker like the kids wear? Would you cross that line?

And, what if you could make the tattoo sticker a scratch-and-sniff too ? The 60-yr old turds (terds?) would get creepier (yikes)!

I attended a Catholic grade school. The nuns there were very adamant about not getting tattoos. tattoos were tabu. The biblical prohibition was cited to support that prohibition.

Of course, the biblical prohibition on shellfish and pork was overlooked.

The nuns put tattoos right up there with black patent leather shoes!

Serenity - it's rare, but does happen.

The newest "fad" skimming around is tongue splitting...but it's not as bad as a photo I used to have about 14 years ago...

Guy had his "member" split it two - (claimed if he used a condom it was still fully functional), then had piercings...oh, so many piercings...in the tip, etc.

It's amazing what some people do when they have too much free time...

Not to gross you folks out or anything but I have a friend who had this operation done to his "member". He had a preexisting condition that put him in the surgery room. After the surgery he was left pretty much non-functioning so he decided to decorate and not feel sorry for himself. He had it split down the middle and had rings attached to each end. Pretty wild looking.

I know someone who had racing stripes put down the length of his...claims it doesn't hurt as much as the work on the palm of his hand...

and that has to be retouched every once in a while...ouch...

[Nicole Marie]

Yeah I don't get it either. That has got to hurt. A girl friend of mine, her husband had three barbells put through his. She loved it but it made sex to painful for him so he removed them. I'll never understand going that extreme but it does happen more then most would know.

Some things sound SO COOL when you think of them...but when you try to put them in play, they just don't seem to work out, LOL.

Gotta give him credit for trying, though...where would the world be without the daring of the non-conformist?

Me, I'm sticking with the personally significant tattoos and leaving it there...I tried piercing my ear 3 separate times and it always healed closed...figured that was a clue.

Serenity,

I have nothing against the removable tattoos, but I won't wear one. I'm sure the prohibition regards permanently disfiguring oneself, I just don't have the desire to wear a tattoo, or to pierce my body.

There was a chief on the ship I was on that supposedly had an eye tattooed on the end of his "member". They claimed he was cockeyed. It was attested to by several of my shipmates that he did have two screws (propellors, for you land lubbers) tattooed on the cheeks of his rump. Since none of the people I regularly associated with were in the habit of checking out other mens "members", none would attest to the existence of the eye.

It's now 2:47 Central time, and Beethoven.com is starting to "helicopter", right in the middle of Verdi. I'll have to switch to CD for the rest of the afternoon.

One evening when I was bored (a loooong time ago) I was poking around the web and found some sites that showed the most bizarre piercings, splittings, implants, rings, and other doodads put in some of the strangest places I could imagine.

I often wonder about people who deliberately put large holes in their natural ductwork. Maybe they just want to be different soooo badly that they are willing to risk the rest of their love life just so they can experience excruciating pain. Personally, I prefer pleasure.

While we're on the subject of tattooed "members," I recall a joke from probably longer ago than I care to mention. The guy says he has a tattoo that usually says "Short." Under the right conditions, though, it says "Shorty's Bar and Grill, Albuquerque, New Mexico."

The one I heard, Barfle, read WENDY and under the "right conditions" was Welcome to Jamaica Have a Nice Day.
