Tattooees...

[greg0205]

Never been bothered when people have asked, never will be either... Like Ol' Mean Bastid says, they are art (my dad calls them a poor man's way of collecting art )

Would you be offended or find it creepy if someone asked to see your tattoo? A generally visible tattoo.

No, it happens all the time.

Sometimes cheap does not specifically refer to monetary value...

I dont mind showing my ink, I have a full sleeve.

What I hate is having to explain each one

Then do an explanation video and send them the link oh and QR code it too

I don't do tats and thats only because i respect the family rule but IF i were to do one, probably get one around the neck area so it should be more or less visible at all times and i wouldn't mind explaining it all the time

Your family made their own rules

Ask around the older folk. You were not considered an adult until you had at least one tatoo. For females it was generally the husbands name.

You've already seen it. I thought you were just going to ask her what it meant.

You have a tatoooooes?

 

[marco79]

I don't mind showing if asked. I have a tribal tattoo I designed on my shoulder.

And my wife & kids names in Chinese symbols on my back. I don't go around showing this one though.

 

[Kloofvreter]

Why would anyone be offended or annoyed?

 

[SauRoNZA]

I do find it a bit odd but I don't particularly find it offensive.

If I had openly visible tattoos I think it would be perfectly normal for someone to ask to see it in more detail...but then this is also why I don't have anything openly visible.

Actually one of the things I've been asking myself about whether I want that kind of attention if I do have work done on my leg.


I would be offended or awkward around the explanation part because it's a very personal thing to me and explaining it people often get the wrong idea of what it actually means to you.
