Richar900 (10:50:48 PM): whered all your hair go
Richar900 (10:51:05 PM): vacationing in your buttcrack for the summer?
BigDogDaddy83 (10:51:32 PM): I shave it down every now and then
BigDogDaddy83 (10:51:36 PM): especially when it gets hot
BigDogDaddy83 (10:52:00 PM): so wtf? Billy Mayes too now?!?
BigDogDaddy83 (10:52:05 PM): This shit’s outta hand
Richar900 (10:52:41 PM): for realz
Richar900 (10:52:48 PM): haaaaaaaaaaaa
Richar900 (10:52:59 PM): seriously? skeletal john dear?
BigDogDaddy83 (10:53:36 PM): It’s “deere”
Richar900 (10:53:43 PM): if ever i were to approve of hideous body staining/defacement, that one might come close
BigDogDaddy83 (10:54:02 PM): you approve?!?
BigDogDaddy83 (10:54:10 PM): I woulda thought you’d hate it
Richar900 (10:54:14 PM): no. and i do. but it’s closer to the line than anything else
Richar900 (10:54:46 PM): i mixed up John Deere with Dear John
BigDogDaddy83 (10:55:17 PM): Like in dumb and dumber….
BigDogDaddy83 (10:55:35 PM): “Next thing I know she sends me some John Dear letter about how she’s meet some other man”
Richar900 (10:58:08 PM): thats effed up that its done in negative space
Richar900 (10:58:45 PM): sounds like a lot of time sitting having a needle stab you to stain your shoulder black so you can have jumping animal bones stand out on it
BigDogDaddy83 (10:59:05 PM): 6 hours, and I still have to go back for a little more
Richar900 (10:59:25 PM): gross
BigDogDaddy83 (10:59:50 PM): 5 hours is a tatau (sp?) right of passage
BigDogDaddy83 (11:00:02 PM): something about bringing one spiritually closer to God or something
Richar900 (11:00:04 PM): havent you ever heard of paper? you can carry it around with you if you like the image that much and then if you want your skin shoulder back then blip – there it is.
Richar900 (11:00:16 PM): tattoo
BigDogDaddy83 (11:00:28 PM): no, tatau… the origins of tattooing
Richar900 (11:00:59 PM): thank god thats a thing or i was about to cry for, and then hate you
BigDogDaddy83 (11:01:04 PM): lol
BigDogDaddy83 (11:01:23 PM): normal blank shoulders don’t get a second look
BigDogDaddy83 (11:01:36 PM): even if someone see’s it and thinks it’s retarded, they’ll remember it.
Richar900 (11:01:49 PM): so its a “look at me” thing? like a human peacock?
BigDogDaddy83 (11:01:55 PM): And if I don’t wanna show it, I just wear short sleeves and it’s gone
BigDogDaddy83 (11:02:14 PM): If that were the case, I’d get ink on my face or something
BigDogDaddy83 (11:02:24 PM): I have it where I can hide it if I want to
Richar900 (11:02:52 PM): my awesome personality is my tattoo. its always there and will get me noticed if i want to, but if not, i just dont let it out and i can leave my sleeves open all i want
BigDogDaddy83 (11:03:11 PM): I wanted something that was at least 5 hours of work, so I could say I did the 5 hours thing. and my friend came up with the idea, so I just did it.
Richar900 (11:04:44 PM): i like how it was important for you to pass that symbolic goal post that you describe as “bringing one spiritually closer to god or something”
BigDogDaddy83 (11:05:36 PM): Well, I’m not going to sit here and say it was a holy experience or anything like that though either
BigDogDaddy83 (11:06:17 PM): it’s a tribal right of passage
Richar900 (11:06:45 PM): and whats cool about that again?
BigDogDaddy83 (11:08:11 PM): The ancient Samoan art of tattooing (tatau). It’s what seperates the men from the boys, if you can go so long through a tattoo without showing pain.
Richar900 (11:08:54 PM): if tribal right of passage is important to you, wouldnt it gain more street cred to cook your slaughtered meat in an outdoor open flame regularly instead of microwaving a hot pocket every time you get the munchies?
BigDogDaddy83 (11:09:15 PM): lmao. prolly
BigDogDaddy83 (11:09:47 PM): Not about street cred, it’s about doing something to see if you can do it for your own acknowledgment
BigDogDaddy83 (11:11:04 PM): People who see mine, who are at all into tats are just blown away by it
BigDogDaddy83 (11:11:23 PM): Which, yes, is street cred, but hey… a little of that doesn’t hurt either
Richar900 (11:12:57 PM): so its all about testing yourself for your own acknowledgment…as long as everyone else acknowledges it too
BigDogDaddy83 (11:14:14 PM): outside acknowledgment is nice, but like I said, if I demanded it, I woulda gotten it somewhere more obvious
BigDogDaddy83 (11:14:22 PM): like my face
Richar900 (11:15:24 PM): so its like a security blanket that you dont NEED. like, you can go to school and stuff. its just there for comfort at night. every night. no matter what. cuz its a fucking tattoo.
BigDogDaddy83 (11:16:23 PM): Ummm. yeah. sure.
Well this explains a lot…..
Sorry to say, but cookie-cutter tattoos are probably the stupidest (not to mention ugliest) thing there is.
What happens when it dulls, and he needs a touch-up? That deer (or deere, who gives a shit) will keep getting thinner and thinner, until the damn thing disappears, and the asshat has nothing left but a giant black-spot on his arm.
Don’t get me wrong, I have many tattoos, including a full upper sleeve, (check the site) I just think cookie-cutter tattoos are a a dumb idea, because there’s never anymore room to work with, and lets be honest, they don’t look good forever unless touched up slightly.
Sorry for the rant, but I say whatever the fuck I want.
~Oh snap!
Are we really gonna do this? Do I really need to defend myself against some Dennis Rafkin glasses wearin’ wannabe, douchebag facial haired Rancid lovin’ punk poser?
to answer the aging/blending topic… Tat’s can be touched up any time, and if you use even remedial skin care, there is no reason the black would blend into itself as you so ignorantly stated.
And finally, even if it DOES age like crap, which it might, who cares???
My body will be all used up and in the ground in 50 years. 60 if I’m lucky. Are you really gonna worry yourself with what my upper arm looks like, by my own choice, as apposed to what people who are born with physical disfigurements look like and are forced to live with against their own choice?
Get a life dude. Oh, and also learn what you’re talking about before you go calling someone’s ink a “cookie cutter”. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, poser.
