Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tattoos forever?

Kind of expected 'flave to show up and admit that he "won't defile himself" or some-such.

Had thought about getting a small one -on my foot where it would nearly always be covered by sock and shoe - but never convinced myself that it was needed.


I keep waiting to see one of the street corner imposters with a sign saying: "Got Change? Have Tats; can't work"

How many years did you serve in that Canoe Club?

Congratulations on your service.

I'm not getting one but if I did it would be a giant bluegill on my back rising to take a popping bug. Either that or I would shave my head and have a octopus on my head and the tentacles would run down my back and shoulders like long hair. grin

NONE! And never will unless the Obama tribe tattoos me as I'm going into the concentration camp.

Nary a one on this body.

Nope, nada, none.
I don't put bones in my noise, or wear grass skirts, or wear a ear ring, or chuck spears, or live in a thatched or mud hut or jump around like some idiot dancing either.
If that is what you want to do, go for it, I could care less, its just not for me.

im gonna call wrong on that, there was just a lull, before a couple hundred years ago they were extremely common in people even in Europe....Christians just did their best to stamp out the practice....they were common even in northern Europeans 500 years ago....know my ancestors fancied them fairly heavily....

Really, all you have to do is walk through Walmart these days and get your fill of ink - if you think you need it

None here. Thought about it a couple times, just never found a reason to need one. I dont need anything other than myself to prove who I am, and im not about to brand myself to advertise for someone/something else.

Im pretty much anti tattoo. I wont date a woman that has publicly visible tattoo's, and if their chest or back is covered in them, its a complete turn off. I know its not true in most cases, but it instantly triggers slut status in my mind, and barring the occasional BJ in the Walmart parking lot, they are of little use for me.

I dont associate with men who have tattoo's either, for the most part. One of my friends has full sleeves on both arms, one of his military career, the other automotive related. Eyes tattoo'd on the back of his head, angels wings on his back(because he made it through life threatening injuries in the military)....hes about the only one.

I do not have any tatts. Getting one has never even crossed my mind. If others want them, okay, it's just not my style.

L.W.

I have none, and never will. I've been the unlucky (dumb is a better term in many of the injuries that caused the need for tying me back together again, admittedly) recipient of more than 500 sutures/staples to date and wear a host of other scars on my body. As such,I feel I have plenty of 'markings' on my carcass without feeling any need to mark it up any more. Plus, I just don't care for the way the vast majority of ink looks on people. Maybe one out of a thousand will appeal to my eye.

Barring tribal or indigenous peoples through history, I don't think tattoos have ever really been 'culturally ordinary', despite their now being fairly common, especially in the last 20 years.

One of these days someone will develop a hi-tech tattoo ink that degrades very slowly under all normal circumstances, except when the ink is exposed to a particular substance that breaks it down and makes the color disappear or allows same to be absorbed and dissipated in the body. So, for 20 days, 20 months or 20 years the 'owner' could keep it, but if they ever decided they were done with the tattoo, they could get a few injections and the tattoo would disappear. That person will become very, very rich.

Great story, Jefe.

I never had the desire to get one.
The scars i got growing up are mine.
Proud of them as well,i worked hard for them.

From the classic Papillon, with Steve McQueen: "It seemed like a good idea at the time..."

Don't have one, and don't want one.

None here, either.

I had a tatoo from the kick-back on a
table saw once. It didn't last too long
but it sure was pretty.

No tats for me at 63 and I don't see any reason to start now. Got behind a guy in the grocery store a couple of days ago with both arms full of tats, using his EBT card.

Never appealed to me.

come to think of it, my brother in law, a retired navy cpo has a tattoo of a chicken on his ankle. When he was in the service in a bar he would bet other guys his cock hung closer to the ground then anybody else. As he wasn't a very big guy, bets were often taken as he took easy money by raising his pant leg a little bit.
