Double ATS Anniversaries

a reply to: jacygirl

from experience, i can say...make sure you love everything about a tattoo before getting one...i am currently trying to get rid of one using the salt scrub technique...which will take forever!
Sugar skulls always remind me to honor the ones we love that have passed and there are some really neat ones out there...it's nice that tattoos can be any size you want, if you work in the public and need it to be covered for work.

Well if the cake is there for the taking, I'm digging in.



peppycat...are you playing matchmaker? Too bad you didn't know all this for Valentine's Day, eh?

a reply to: peppycat

I despise that in the 21st century people still believe tattoos are "unprofessional" they become part of the persons body. In a PC world I say ***K YOU PEOPLE

a reply to: jacygirl

lol!, i don't know the young woman all that well and she would be like what!? who is this guy, scrunching her brow up...not sure if she is interested dating...she is super cool though.
i would love to do matchmaking work...love is awesome!
for me all of February should be full of love!

The cake looks super!

That's really good advice hun. Hubby has had a couple covered up, that's what led to the full sleeves. I've never heard of removal by salt scrub, sounds kind of painful.

I don't work anymore, due to a back injury...but I do voluntary care-taking of a couple of people.
I would likely start with something on my foot (always liked that), but still hesitant to take that first step.
Also afraid that my proper British mother will haunt me if I do it.

a reply to: Brotherman

yeah, i would like a tattoo on my wrist...if someone is offended and i need to earn my daily bread, i don't mind having to cover it.
tattoos are like jewelry that you love so much you never take them off.
there are some Brian Froud pixies that i have always wanted.

a reply to: jacygirl

mmmm...hope your back is well and your careful when tending to the folks you volunteer with...
maybe if you get a tattoo that somehow honors your Mom, she will be okay...she is on the other side?

the salt scrub method is painful, but its what i can afford

a reply to: peppycat

Tattoos are not like jewelry, you can't just take them off. They become a part of you. They have been a part of humanity since the earliest reaches of our history yet millenias later they are unacceptable? Why some little granny with deeply religious brainwashing is offended or believes its the work of witchcraft or the devil, I find it absurd



I guess this is professional, knows how to shuffle paper work and is apparently smart but to lazy or dumb to do something for themselves yet we are fed that tattoos are evil and must be hidden.

I am depraved and morally unjust I suppose

a reply to: peppycat

That's a nice sentiment, but she would never approve. She thought tattoos on a woman looked low-class and cheap, I wasn't even allowed to get my ears pierced until I was 19.

I got curious and started reading about the salt scrub removal. Are you using lemon juice too?
Apparently that helps?

a reply to: peppycat

I like another artist that is similar to Trevor Something lol you should look for ALEX blood club thats what I am actually listening to atm

a reply to: jacygirl

so far, just salt mixed with oil...i did read about lemon and also aloe and i should am going to try everything that i can just get at a store...i am thinking if i put hydrogen peroxide on it too, that will have a bleaching effect.

i haven't worn a tank top in over twenty years because of the stupid tattoo i got in my friend garage. i need a drink!
for some reason i'm laughing at myself!

a reply to: peppycat

come over here for a drink, join me on the dark side.

a reply to: Brotherman

I hate the judgement too, but I hate all ridiculous judgement of other people.
Live and let live is my motto.

As a teenager my son got a hard time from his boss over an eyebrow piercing. I told his boss to "knock it off" lol, he was stocking shelves on night shift and it was not infected or ugly to look at.

I know a lot of people who have a lot of ink. Even my husband gets gawked at when we go out, especially if his arms are bare. (also a lot of compliments) If I decide to get one it will be for me and anyone who doesn't approve can look away.

a reply to: Brotherman

hey what...it is so late right now, i am trying really hard to focus...tattoos are the jewelry you never take off..i though i wrote...
the only reason i cover mine up, is because i don't want folks to think i am a gangsta...i was young and stupid once...now i'm older and a wee bit smarter!

a reply to: Brotherman

is it dark where you are or is the sun shining yet?..i like light, smoking and drinking..soda pop!
its light over here...follow the light...follow the light!

a reply to: peppycat

I relate to the shade and the darkness, the sun is warm and cleansing, the moon is cold and putrifies.

a reply to: peppycat

I saw a beautiful article with pictures of elderly people with ink.
So totally badass!!

I really think the older we get, the more badass we should look. We've live through so much...endured so much.
Why are old people supposed to be all prim and sweet? I think that's wrong.
(older men with silver hair and tats are hot, lol)

I'm tall and skinny and totally not aggressive looking at all. I would love to look more 'fierce', but not sure that can be accomplished.
If you decide to quit rubbing your skin off (ouch!) maybe embrace that gangsta badass side!

a reply to: jacygirl

A dear woman i know that is a young grandmother, wears her tattoos beautifully...and her tattoos are pretty mine just doesn't even look like me or remind me of me, the color and style are so off...if i can get it faded out enough i might consult with an artist to cover it up with something i love, then...hey summertime..i can wear a tank top!
i really feel you have to absolutely love it.
my friend drew a beautiful picture and had a very skilled tattoo artist apply her drawing...it is so her and the colors look gorgeous...
he hehe... i am a goofball at heart and can't pull off bad a$$.
