If your nick means your are from California you should know better than to what you have written. Or think of it, maybe you are the rebelious type that left.
To the poster just above: I agree. Much of an ego, like nothing else matters and if you don't want to discuss phiosophy and other "greater" things yeah uneducated. Its like imagine I start talking non-stop about computer science for example to people. In a mixed crowd, talk general stuff where everyone has an interest to participate. And talk about work-related topics with people in the same field. Don't be a ego-geek to talk about some humanities stuff when nobody cares and push your things. |
I'm sorry, but can you speak correct English? It's hard to understand what you're saying. |
Look, I don't agree with the guy's views on tattoos, but your little quip there is a pathetic attempt at superiority. You just lowered yourself to the debating skills of a child.
You can bloody well understand everything he said, even if it isn't perfect. |
You know what? You're right. That was cheap. However, I am actually not sure what he meant by "you're from California, you should know better than that." As in Californians are open-minded? Closed-minded? Covered with tattoos?
Apologies to all for being rude; it won't happen again. |

But it won't last that long and unlike Disco, it's a lot harder to detatch yourself from a tattoo  |
Hey, now. I still like Disco. Fortunately, my tats are on the back of my shoulders.
I never see them, thus almost never think about them. I certainly don't "sport" them.
(I know that wasn't your point, but I just looked back along the thread) |

Wow, I wasn't expecting an apology for it. I guess I have been on this board to long. It is nice to see there are still some mature people on this board Like I said, I am with you on your views that tattoos don't make a person, I was just surprised by that last post.  |

Puhlease. Having tattoos does not have any bearing on your moral values.

You and me are different. Seeing girls with tatoos is like some white trailer trash. Being with her for something serious, would be downgrading for me. As I said - she would be a lesser person in my eyes.
Having someone from a good family that is not broken and dyfunctional, with good and warm family values and where she talks to her family and does not do a typical WASP thing of individuality and talking only on Xmass and Thanksgiving but more of Spanish family style which has more communication and interactions, having Bachelor's and even better Masters or PhD and being realistic and career oriented woman who knows what to do would be ideal. Of course looks I am attracted to.
Tatoo is a big no-no. What makes a woman put a PERMANENT tatoo on her body? |
Umm, you have just pretty much described my family background and I am also educated to Master's level, career orientated etc and I have tattoos.
Can you say stereotyping?

| I've never seen a picture of a tattoo or a real-life tattoo that actually looked good on someone. |

No, but what happened to not judging a book by its cover? What about forming your OWN opinion about someone not following what everyone else thinks/says?

Well, so for example a Turk in Germany would first talk to a nice bunch of skinheads to form his own opinion? And related examples...
And covers sell books. |

There is a big difference between a Turk avoiding a skinhead and somebody not dating a perfectly nice girl because she happens to have a tattoo.  |

As I said before, there is stigma associated with tatoos we talked here on this thread. Maybe she is perfectly nice but being altered by a permanent mark that is associated with certain groups in society and their liberal behaviours makes her suspicious that she may also be like that. Andin large numbers, that assumption is correct. Those group as a stereotype have risky lifestyles and skewed view on the world and world's issues not in sync with the mainstream thought.
Question is do I want to take any risks? No, I do not want to, so I won't activly pursue her in some hook-up places or date her seriously. |

I got mine for personal reasons, but I got sick of explaining them. I just say because the tiger is my favourite animal.
My students only see it in summer through a thin shirt.
I think I will always make sure it's hidden when I start my new public school job though. |

Exactly, so did I. I work at a public school and nobody knows I have tattoos. I would advise you to keep it covered.

europe2seoul is either a Korean(seems like a typical Korean male attitude) or a total dweeb whose ignorance is legend.
Judging someone for having a tattoo is like judging someone for their cultural differences. "Oh  you're Korean....you must eat dog and (fill in a Korean trait of your choice)" Since you're from Korean you must eat/do/like(whatever, because all Koreans do that )
What you're black  Well you must (racially insensitive stupidity inserted here )
Wow you look like a nice girl.....oh you're finishing off your pre-med...cool....you like the same music as I do....damn you're funny, good looking and interested in me.......YOU HAVE A TATTOO GET AWAY FROM ME YOU LOWLIFE SCUM
A girl with a tattoo is no different than a girl wearing makeup.....except the tattoo is permanent!
Geez what kind of attitude are we talking about here? Pretty petty, stupid and juvenile IMHO  |

Atleast with the tattoo you know what you are getting. When you wake up the next day and the makeup is gone |
