Women and Tattoos (was in Jewish, went off topic)

As to the women with tattoos I know, I am silent on my outlook unless pressed for an opinion. Fortunately, that has not been necessary to this point, although I did inform my wife as a precaution that if she did get a tattoo, I would never touch her. Not a threat, but a wise marital warning.
Those women in my life that sport tattoos seem to intuitively know that about me. I did advise a young bombshell that when nosey people inquired into the number of tattoos she had, to simply tell them it was a private matter (although she had every right to tell them to go to hell).
I have a funny story on this subject to share later. I have to run to the YMCA and then go to Granny's for some home made enchiladas. 'wish I could share them with Mama & RubySoho.

adios for now,

I'm down for a home made enchilada I understand that you don't like tattoos on women and that's fine. I think it's a little harsh to tell your wife that you would never touch her again. It's just art. It's not a contagious disease. Everyone has their preference and I'm ok with that. I just think it's sad that you are "warning" your wife like that. It sounds more like a threat to me.

As far as women telling someone how many tattoos they have...why does that matter? I have 8 tattoos. Soon to be 10. I don't get offended when people ask me about my tattoos. People are curious and not everybody likes them. That's ok if they don't like them. I didn't consider they're opinion before I got it. Why would it matter now? It's my body so the only person that had to be happy with it is me. 6 of mine are for a very specific reason. Most of the time when someone asks and I explain each tattoo to them they will say "that's really cool" even if they are against tattoos. It's a personal preference and if you don't like them, don't get them. I happen to love them. I love the whole process. Coming up with the idea, talking to the artist to design it and personalize it, actually laying there and having it done, then the final result. I do enjoy getting them. I am a freak that likes a little pain.

 

RubySoho,

on the contrary; it would be negligent of me if I said nothing to my wife and she did get a tattoo AND I refused to touch her after the fact. I do not exaggerate when I say it is a sexual turnoff for me. Besides, my wife and I are both of the opinion that my body is her body and vice versa. Yes, we have that kind of marriage.
As to the young girl at work, let me mention that the nosey people asking her (I did mention they were nosey) were not at all interested in her artwork. They were asking to have something to gossip about. I like the people I work with, but know them for who they are. She did thank me later.
By the way. I ate so much Mexican I nearly passed out. Thank goodness my wife cannot cook Mexican (she is a gringo) or I would be very overweight. Mexican is my favourite.

here's to good food,

Things only got better from there. Her next heart operation the opening/closing surgeon was so freaked that he would be cutting and repairing what he deemed a master art work that she came out with a hair thin scar and the closing surgeon used the tattoo as a connect the dots aid.

 

I'm glad that works for your marriage. As for mine, there is no way my husband would tell me what I can and can't do to my body. As I would never never tell him what to do. I guess as long as both of you are ok with that then more power to you.

I'm glad you enjoyed your Mexican food!

 

Getting a tattoo is a direct violation of the Torah, and a public declaration of allegiance to evil. I am glad that tattoos exist to make it easier for me to determine who to avoid.

 

Don't like them at all. Mostly they just look trashy and silly to me.

 

I don't think they necessarily look trashy. I like the way most people look naturally.

"Is it kind, is it necessary, it is true, does it improve upon the silence?'

That can be applied to tattoos, I think. Rarely do they improve upon the "silence."

That being said. I MIGHT consider getting one under certain circumstances.

 

Whew, thanks. I'm glad my tattoos will make you avoid me. One less judgmental person I have to deal with in my life. I'm just trashy and evil :devil:

 

As a general rule I don’t like tattoos; but I was fascinated back in 1991 when scientists in the alps unearthed a 5000 year old man all tatted up
