Ash UK/US

I never said the brides looked like tramps, I said they looked like imperfections and on what otherwise where beautiful brides.

I don't understand them either.
Having worked in a Nursing home in the US I have met some much older ladies who had a tat or two (they did them during WWII and I was surprised women that old had them). Every one of them regretted it, and theirs were small compared to what girls do today. The old lady tats were faded and unrecognizable on the loose skin. That was enough for me to never even want to consider getting one when I was younger.
I think that young women already have beautiful skin and spoil it with tatts. Just my opinion, no judgements intended.

I'm considering getting a tramp stamp .... it will be my first tat, and i'm headed for my 40th soon!

My hubby has a US/UK flag combined on his calf, and I want to get one to match, but in ribbon across the base of my back.

Been thinking about it for years, but thought the timing might be nice to celebrate getting my US citizenship

Oh sorry btw, I'm by no means offended. This thread just makes me laugh is all = )

We were talking to a neighbour in the area pool a week or so back...I asked about a tattoo he had on his upper right arm, 3 chinese characters. He said it read "immortal" but my wife (who is chinese) told me later a closer translation was "not quite dead"!!!

Lol yeah, I have always said, if I can't read it, speak it or write it, it won't be tattooed on me!

Just Latin characters then?

CherryPi

Latin/Roman alphabet and numerical characters, sure. But, if I don't understand the language it's written in, no.

I think I would get tired of having a written one even quicker than a picture.

I was thinking it could be a good alternative to a kindle, in case there is no wifi or battery had gone. The works of Shakespeare for instance. (I might need a magnifying glass to go with it)

We have a friend who is a doctor. He was telling us a story about examining a woman, the female nurse had to be in the room, as the patient had to remove her bra. When she removed her bra she had 'bitter' and 'mild' tattooed on her boobs.

They manged to not laugh, but when the woman was dressed again, the nurse left the room and apparantly collapsed in laughter behind the door. When she looked up the patients husband was sat staring at her.

Oh, I forgot about him.

Well what did he expect?
