14568. Ms. No - 4/12/2005 5:01:18 PM Jude,
I love that idea....but some right-wing nut will just come waltzing out claiming that you got the tat while in a drunken stupor after partying with your commie friend Ms. No at the Alley Cat. 14569. thoughtful - 4/12/2005 5:24:54 PM I have a cousin who does tats. He's a very talented artist...only no one seems willing to pay him for his artwork unless he puts it on their body. So that's what he's doing now. His wife has a beautiful iris tattoed on her shoulder that he did. Just lovely.
Me, I'm scared to death. I'd even think twice about having him do a fake one on me in magic marker. Somehow, I'm just not the tat type. 14570. Ms. No - 4/12/2005 5:39:16 PM I think they're beautiful on some people but I do look around me and think of what all my friend's grandkids are going to think some day.
Here we'll be 90 years old and trying to push our walkers into a mosh pit, blaring Jane's Addiction over the PA and insisting on animal-free gelatin and our grandkids will still think we're fuddy-duddies. 14571. thoughtful - 4/12/2005 6:16:06 PM some look great on the young, but how will they look on wrinkles???
and those eyebrow rings. I can't help it but when I talk to someone with one, i keep seeing something on their eye with my peripheral vision and I think it's a fly and want to brush it away. I have to restrain myself. It's very distracting. 14572. Magoseph - 4/12/2005 7:13:13 PM My son is quite happy now that I threatened to take away from him his car and allowance when he wanted to get an earring. He noticed, when he went to his company's general meeting recently, that all employees who were promoted, including him, had three things in common-- no earrings, any tattoos either, and wore excellent clothes. 14573. thoughtful - 4/12/2005 7:19:57 PM well, some tats might not show in an office setting.... 14574. Magoseph - 4/12/2005 7:29:39 PM His brother said the same thing to him and he answered that the happy group who got promotions and raises had a pool party with the bigwigs. 14575. Magoseph - 4/12/2005 7:33:31 PM The change of season is really affecting me this year—I don’t know why I’m so tired when I haven’t done anything lately. Does it affect you too? 14576. Ms. No - 4/12/2005 8:43:13 PM Spring and Fall energize me. Winter and Summer tend to make me tired and longing for a change. 14577. thoughtful - 4/12/2005 8:53:57 PM Hahahhaahah that's funny. Of course I would be far more embarrassed by my jello-thighs than any tat at a pool party with the bosses. Do they still make those 1890s bloomers for gals to swim in??? That'd be about the only outfit I'd be comfortable in in front of these guys, esp since they're all into fitness or ex athletes or ex military types and all as fit as fiddles. Anything more revealing would only make me feel old and blubbery.
Stylish, no? 14578. Ms. No - 4/12/2005 8:57:01 PM If you have good arms there's nothing wrong with wearing a suit and wrapping a pretty sarong around your hips and then just not going in the water.
Dress for the heat and sun but not for the pool and then you can show off the bits you like and keep the others covered. 14579. Macnas - 4/13/2005 8:36:29 AM Tattoos, I had two, but I had them removed. The remains are ugly, and I regret the damn things completely.
They are fine when you are a youngster, but they do not age well. And as for the girls who get ta's on the tummy, well, lets just say that if you get pregnant, your skin just does not snap back into the exact configuration it was previously, and your nice sharp ta becomes rather abstract looking. 14580. Ms. No - 4/13/2005 5:37:11 PM Alright, Mac, now you have to tell us what they WERE! 14581. thoughtful - 4/13/2005 5:42:24 PM and where! 14582. Jenerator - 4/13/2005 8:19:44 PM Anyone seen the Turlington Tattoo Removal commercial from SNL?
It's hilarious! 14583. Ms. No - 4/13/2005 8:35:56 PM No, I don't watch TV -- don't even have reception --- but SNL's commercials have always been one of the most consistently funny things about the show.
Can you describe it or is it on the web somwhere to view?
14584. Jenerator - 4/13/2005 9:50:22 PM Ms No,
What's yer e-mail addy? 14585. Ms. No - 4/13/2005 10:14:34 PM you can send it to bridgeburner99@yahoo.com 14586. uzmakk - 4/13/2005 10:33:30 PM Hello, Ladies and Gents, I imagine you are all leaving and have left work and are not and will not be in the cafe, but I have had a manhattan and a half and will be here for a while, just like in the good old days. 14587. judithathome - 4/13/2005 10:36:01 PM Uz, you should read some of our stories over in Mote Fiction...wow, that word looks weird. Fiction...and I haven't even had a Manhattan!
