Tattoos

[RedHerring2]

Point taken.
As one who believes in live and let live, I don't have a strong conviction for either argument.

I cant understand why some of you have such strongly held opinions on this!

Some people like tatoo's, some dont.

Whats the big deal?

I have quite a few.
I spent £2500 on just my right arm.

My wife has lots too, i find women with tatoo's sexy.

My wife also happens to be a tatooist.

I agree that there are bad tatoo's, or more to the point, bad reasons to be tatoo'd.

My wife lost count how many beckham copy crosses she's done and other celeb copy cat stuff.

I have professional done stuff, i have home done stuff. I have stuff i did with a needle and some ink while very drunk. I love them all.

There are people who get tatoo'd to copy the trend. People used to come into the shop and say 'what can i get for £20' LOL.
There are other people, like me, to whom its not really a choice. Speak to anyone with lots of tattoos and they will tell you. Its always in your mind that you want a certain something somwehere on your body. That thought never goes, its there when you go to sleep, its there when you wake up. The only way to get that thought out of your mind is to go and get it done.

So, i have lots of tattoo's, you think im thick? Stupid?, Silly?
I have an IQ of nearly 160 so thats not it.

Maybe, just maybe, my love of tattoo's doesnt bare witness to any negative caracheter flaws.
Maybe its just possible that i like them. They do no harm to anyone else, they are no-one elses business.

I dont like peoples designer clothes, gold jewelery and show off cars. So what!

The stupid people are the ones who think they have the right to judge people and think they are better than other people because they think their 'life morals' are more correct than anyone elses.

There the ones with the carachter flaws!

There the ones with the carachter flaws!

Don't take offence, none intended.
For someone with an IQ of 160, I'd have thought spelling would come easy.

there, their, they're
carachter, character

OK, it's a typo'.

 

[Graemevw]

Yeah, speling isnt my strong point!

I didnt have any interest in school or traditional learning.

I am not a very academic person. My sister is, she works in genetics but has absolutely no common sense whatsoever!

Im more of a hands on kind of person. Im better at problem solving, forsight and mechanics.

Traditional learing, including spelling, is more about memory than intelect.
Unfortunately my memory is shot

IQ of 160? FFS! I think you'd struggle to get into MENCAP.

 

[Graemevw]

LOL.

Whatever you wish to believe

Then use it wisely and don't get drawn into the dark side.

 

[joe-90]

LOL.

Whatever you wish to believe

I had an IQ test years ago by the Oz government - but I wouldn't dream of bragging about it. Besides, this is the internet - you can have whatever IQ score you want. So what does it mean anyway - other than you are a braggart?

 

[RedHerring2]

the dark side.

Would that be the GD forum?

 

[enyam]

the dark side.

Would that be the GD forum?

 

[Graemevw]

No, simply a way of trying to get across the point that even though im tattoo'd, and therefore in some narrow minded, blinkered peoples views 'stupid', i am not.

You may not dream of bragging, but you dont seem to be above a quick personal insult do you?

I guess you use put downs to other people as your way of trying to assert your superiority over others?

 

[joe-90]

Don't let the name fool you - I'm no Joe-90 in real life - honest.

You show no sign of intelligence. You can't spell and your grammar is atrocious.

I think we can safely assume that you are stupid and the tattoos will suit you.

 

[RedHerring2]

I had an IQ test years ago by the Oz government -

Are you sure it was an IQ test?

 

[joe-90]

Yes.

 

[RedHerring2]

You show no sign of intelligence. You can't spell and your grammar is atrocious.

You can't find fault with his manner or his attitude though.
