Tattoos - Would you? Do you? If so, regrets?

[Anonymous]

I have three, I dont regret any of them. Two of them show (inner ankle and inner arm) one does not. All three represent serious turning points in my life and are very important to me.

Actually, a lot of people all over the good old U.S. of A. have tattoos. it's just here in tight-assed DC that they are not as commonly displayed. if you ventured out of your judgy bitch-bubble once in a while you'd know that, instead you just emarasss yourself by displaying that your knowledge of the world is limited to a 50 mile radius.

You emarasss yourself with that spelling. I think the ink has gotten to your brain.

People who diss other people who live (or have lived) in trailers piss me off!! I was raised by a single mother with 5 children on welfare. We lived in an old, dilapidated trailer. We were fed tons of grilled cheese sandwiches on cheap white bread thanks to USDA's government-issued cheese program. My mother recently died a poor woman, not one of my siblings graduated from HS, all of us were labled special ed, 3 of my siblings have been incarcerated (one still is), and the 2 that work are paycheck-to-paycheck, at best. That said, nearly 1000 people attended my mother's funeral because she was an amazingly sweet human being (trailer trash?). My siblings are some of the most beautiful people you could ever meet - they would literally give you the shirt off their backs (trailer trash?). We were dealt a very tough hand early on, but we didn't get bitter at the world, or get down on ourselves. It hurts me deeply to hear this term, trailer trash, used toward anyone and to think that I am likely among people everyday that feel this way about another human spirit simply based on not where they live, but what they live in. Are we THAT broken?

What is your point, exactly? Five kids on welfare, no high school grads, 3 in jail....? What exactly are we supposed to be applauding?

Ah yes, the "I'll point out your typos because I'm too dull to think of a substantive response." I guess when you completely devote yourself to being a hag, any wit flies right out your ass.

I actually don't have any tattoos, the only thing that has gotten to me is your need to deal with your miserable life by trashing others. Have a nice night--I'm sure you'll be spending it alone.

I'm pretty sure that no part of my (or your) 70 year old body is going to be "pretty."

You are so wrong and so very limited in your view of an aging female. Helen MirrenOlympia Dukakis, Jessye Norman (opera singer) Beverly Johnson

Sad, but it is probably your self hatred that drives you to allow someone to draw pictures on your body in the first place. An aging woman is so beautiful. And not just the supermodels--all women can be beautiful, at all ages.

You are showing examples of beautiful celebrities, with make-up. True, they are very beautiful and have aged gracefully (a couple with a doctors help), but that is not the average woman. The average 70 year old does not look like that. I do agree with you that the aging process is a beautiful thing and we should all allow ourselves to age naturally. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen for most people. So, while some woman want to see a doctor to try and make them look younger, some prefer to adorn their bodies with tattoos...some of which can be beautifully done.

I think ALOT more women will look like this at 70 who are 40 now. We have so much information now about sun exposure, eating, and fitness. I for one, plan to look amazing at 70. I stay out of the sun, I keep fit, and I take care of myself and if I need a little nip/tuck I'll do that as well. There is no reason to head down the path of frump and dump when you are committed to your health. I'm sure 70 will be the new 50.
