How do they know they were bored because television hadn't been invented? If it hadn't been invented they wouldn't know they were bored because of it not being there.

Personaly I have quite a few large tattoos and I like them. I paid a hell of a lot of money to have them done by top artists and they weren't done out of any inadequacy and the only one I regret is the name of my ex, was a stupid idea at the time and I will have it laser removed some time soon.

Yeah, you see the difference is between someone investing money and thought into a good tat, and some moron having a tattoo done badly by an illiterate drunk with shaky hands, AND NOT HAVING THE BRAINS TO CHECK THE SPELLING FIRST.

Yes, I've seen that happen so many times regarding an ex and then the next and the next ex in some cases, leaving behind a horrible mess, so I hope they manage to tidy yours up ok.

Regarding your other large tattoos which you say you like, does it ever cross your mind whether or not other ppl like them, or do you just like to appreciate them yourself ?
Maybe you'll never know for sure, as possibly most ppl. would likely say they are nice just to be polite.

On the other hand maybe OPs opinions don't concern you at all ?
As you see I'm still trying to fathom it out, why ppl.get tattooed, especially as in your case, a number of large ones.

You say my opinion is wrong, fair enough, but maybe you can explain the exact reason yourself, as I presume there's a bit more to it than simply because you like them yourself, or maybe I'm wrong again there as well ?

TBH I've never thought about other peoples opinions with regards to my tattoos and of the few people that have commented they have said how unusual they are.
As to the reason why I got my tattoos it was simpley a case of I saw one I really liked and if I like something, I like it. I'm not an undesicive person who spends 1 hour walking around a clothes shop trying to decide on what I may or may not like. If I see something that's right for me I'll know it instantly and can spend hours walking into clothes shops but only spend 1 minute or so in each until I find the item that's right for me so I knew I would allways like the tattoos I chose.
My tattoos are kind of an extension of my personality and whilst others may find them curious I know what they signify to me. All my tattoos follow along the same theme. The only way you would know I had any is if I'm wearing shorts or a T-shirt.

Personally do not understand why someone wishes to have this done, looks to my eyes quite vile, most unatrractive, but each to their own:unsure:

Well, they don't float my boat, but can appreciate a good tattoo. Having said that, I cannot understand why someone would want a bad, miss spelled one.

If you go to the link I posted in the OP, and look at a few pages, you will see what I mean.

Quite agree, to me it's deliberate disfigurement of their own body or skin they were born with and all tattooes except the tiniest most delicate ones look obnoxious, but as you say, each to their own.

As for the one who can't spell,...words fail me.

Yeah. me too. Did you look at those pages of tat's? There were one or two had tattoos of the autopsy pics of the Back Dahlia's disfigured face.

I mean, like why?
