I wasn't intially planning on responding to this....but.

Dear Hoggie:

What you fail to realize is that getting a tattoo (or a few) is a very personal decision. If people that get them are like me, it's not about defacing one's body...it's about putting a form of art on one's body.

Also, a person getting tattoos can pick designs that are very personal to them. I am a lawyer, I'm Irish, I like Jimmy Buffett, I play keyboards and sing in a band, and I love the Redskins....therefore, my other tats are:

1. The scales of justice (classic design);

2. The scales of justice (with parrots on one side and a spilling margarita on the other side) [got it from a Buffett t-shirt];

3. A little fighting Irish dude;

4. An Irish Claddagh design;

5. A large wizard playing floating keyboards with musical notes flying everywhere;

6. A parrot lounging in a beach chair wearing flip-flops playing the guitar next to a bottle of tequila; and

7. A Jimmy Buffet gecco wearing sunglasses chillin' on a tropical beach.

The only thing potentially "moronic" about getting a tattoo (in my opinion) is getting one while you're drunk and without any thought to what it is. If you go to a tattoo parlor that will give one to you notwithstanding your lack of sobriety, I (for one) would suggest you go elsewhere....to a more reputable place.

But, in conclusion Hoggie, you're entitled to your opinion....no matter how closed-minded that opinion is.

You've got to be a little girl to post that without logging in.

Nice tats, Justice!

Hey JH...If your ever in the Fredericksburg VA area...there opening a restaurant down here called Cheese Burger's in Paradise...Haven't been there yet, but I let you know how it is when i do...You can come down, I'll treat to dinner and you can treat me on a redskins tattoo...deal?!?!?

Well, if I ever got a Tat it would be #43 obviously but I think the conditions surrounding it's arrival might break JH's rules. I'd be blind drunk.

Being an artist, I respect the craft, just not for me.

Hey BringThePain!, dinner for a tat, huh? Better be some kick-a$$ dinner with a huge bar bill!!


And to you, NC43Hog, those aren't my rules at all! Just a friendly suggestion for those that might consider getting one...and who not to go to!

Wow! JH - those are cool! You're freakin' hardcore! I feel like I've bleed for the Skins, but never like that.

Just taking a trip down mammary lane.

Darn! Can't see them any more!!! How's this?


Left Bicep


Right Forearm inside


Left outside calf

I have a (and I know this is played out) band made from a Celtic knot around my left bicep. One of my roommates is an artist, he is designing a dragon tattoo for my upper back, between the shoulder blades. Yes, I am a nerd and, yes, both of the tats (the existing one and the planned one) have meaning to me beyond their aesthetic value. I'll get a few more before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
And my boys only wish the Muresan tats were done for comedic effect.

The tats are sweet and all but doesn't everybody have tats now....I mean when I was a kid people in biker gangs and like old sailors had their ship name or whatever tatooed on them.....now grandmas have them and stuff......nothing personal I just think they have lost some of their lustor....course I do like anything Skins and I just dont have the Cahoonas to get one!

Most states feature an extensive recycling program for used cups. You'll be born again, possibly as a sanitary napkin.

I now reveal to all THN'ers....the secret lair of Fios.

I have one on my back shoulder but dont have any pic of it, but if i did i would post the pic for you all to see.

cool tats JH!

Tatoos became popular after I turned 40 and now that I'm nearly 50 -- I ain't going there. If you all want to do that, go for it. My 19 year old college son wants one (or more) but my wife and I threatened to NOT pay his tuiton and that scared him away! He went through the piercing stuff in high school but is beyond that now. I told him, you want a tatoo when you're supporting yourself, go for it.

I know this will get some response but I have to say - I don't have a problem with them on guys (not my son!) but have this real issue with seeing girls with tatoos. Maybe that's because I have a 21 year old college daughter and I don't want to see her do that. Sorry ladies but I think they make you look cheap. Especially on the small of the back. In fact, around here the younger folks call those tramp stamps. That pretty much says it all to me.

My only advice is -- don't do something when you're young that you'll regret when you're older -- like 65 or 75.

Hmmm. For her 38th birthday, my wife wanted a butterfly on the small of her back. She went ahead and did it. After giving birth to five children and putting up with me and my insane work hours for all these years, not to mention the fact that it's her own skin...and asking me what I thought about it was a mere courtesy...well, I just paid for it. She loves it.
Never once did I think that made her less of a person, or sexually irresponsible...but, hey. Thanks for chiming in.

I know many women with a variety of tattoos in a variety of places, some are awful and spur-of-the-moment, some are really cool and well thought-out, just like the men I know with tats. I'm not certain why a woman doing the same thing a man does cheapens or degrades her in some fashion.

Edit: moved because this is straying away from el Redskins

A tattoo on a chicks lower back is known as a "Tramp Stamp" universally. When I was in college my buddies and I did a very unscientific experiment concering these "tramp stamps" and it was very conclusive that the stereotype of the 'tramp stamp" label is indeed warranted.
