Parenting decision which will probably come back and bite me in the ass.




Stick on tatoos have come a long way in recent years. First of all, you can get them without the gum. Whoa. Novelty.

And the variety of designs available sure outstrips Hanna-Barbera characters.

The ease of application might be misleading, though.

Also the fact that I encouraged her to do a sleeve. That might send the wrong message.

That "Might" send the wrong message? That "MIGHT" send the.....honey, face the facts here. Your little darlin will be coming home from her first date with a string of roses going down her hip. And she will blame it ALL on YOU. Never fails.

Frankly it's interesting that I was inking myself just yesterday and here you are, showing you daughter the beauty of body modification! My long lost twin.

Here's the rule at our house, you certainly can do it, as soon as you turn 18. Keep in mind, I have FIVE tattoos, but I'm not having my little darlings doing it before they can vote.

Randy and I both have tats, it's a fact of life around here. But I waited 7 years between mine, and he waited til he was in his 30's to get his FIRST, so we're also big on the "think first, ink later" approach to body art and that is also a fact of life around here.

I think that's a fairly balanced approach to parenting that will win out in the skin... uh, end.

That's like tatooapalooza going on there. I like the idea that you can try the tatoo on for size before fully commiting to it. Great idea! Even if she does come home with one they are doing amazing things with lasers these days.

A sleeve? Hilarious.

Me get tattoos? Not in this lifetime: 1. I can't even imagine making that kind of commitment. 2. Needles.

You're not going to catch me getting a tatoo! Not after the experience getting the nose rings and the spikes in my eyebrows!

Diet coke came out my nose when I read sleeves. I have an ex whose mother has sleeves...and pants? She also has a beauty that goes around her neck that says "Better To Reign In Hell"...I'm not kidding. I'm a big fan of tats. I'm just too wimpy to get one myself....ergo, I love the temporary ones.

I can't talk to the act of deliberately and consciously scarring ones body for all time---its waaay to personal. If its to mark permently a moment you felt in time thats one thing---I would only ask the individual, how you gonna feel about the moment say in five---ten---years, liek hello the marking is still there?? to each their own right?

Gary, dude. Are you TRYING to start an argument? Geez, man, beat up people on YOUR blog, okay? Ease up on mine.

I think they're sexy personally.

"Better To Reign In Hell" LOL! Nice.

I did my first one to myself at the tender rotten age of 15. Made my own machine and everything. This is what happens when you're not busy and have all the free time in the world right?

Now, I'm just plain addicted to the feeling, and I always seem to get a nice keepsake to take home with me! :)

You know you've gone to far when you walk into a studio and tell the artist, can you just run over my skin with a dry needle? Please?

Came here looking for more! So I'm back to the tattoo's post. I wanted to say that you have a great looking foot there. No, really! That's one great looking foot!

hahahaha

Okay. Haha. Wayne? You know that's my kid's foot, right?
