Neck Tattoos!!! WTF?

[Raymond]

So, I was at Boston Market and this GORGEOUS girl was in front of me. I mean she could probably put most FTV Models to shame.

Then she turned around.....:mad:

And she had a tattoo on her neck similar to the one in the photo.

WHY...THE...F--...DO...GIRLS...DO....THAT????

Umpf! A neck tattoo that obvious does ruin chances to some jobs, too, I think. Bank or consulting jobs, for example.

Self expression and because they are not doing it for you?

In my opinion a tattoo that size and where it is, borders on unsightly.

Where are the pics, raymond? ;)

Don't tease us like that. You should get a decent camera phone and put it in action. And then post the pics here!

Why not surprise us next time, will You?

LOL....I have an iPhone. But taking her photo would have been very conspicuous.

Self expression is a lame excuse. And I don't care whether she's doing it for me. If she want's to look like a freak that's fine. But if she can't get a job because of it then we should have legislation that prevents her (and people like her, i.e. large tattoos, piercings, scarification, etc...) from receiving any public assistance and she shouldn't be able to 'bitch" when she can't get her "dream job"

I could totally go on a multi-page Republican rant right now. But I'm going to take a deep breath and............relax.

I have a lot of mixed feeling about tattoos & piercings. On the one hand I'm not overly fond of ink especially taking away from someone's beauty, but at the same time I don't live in their skin, so who am I to say yea or nay? Ms D's designs are interesting, but I'd rather have seen them on paper mounted & framed than her belly or back, but they have a meaning to her. And as one who has some relatives who are Maori (interesting for some: a sibling of one of my ancestors from New England was a whaler who wound up in New Zealand where within a few generations there were little Kiwis running around who were part American and part Maori) whose tattoos are very cultural. There are some things that, if I could, I'd change about myself to make living within this shell more comfortable, so if someone feels the need to add to their appearance with a ring, stud or ink, c'est la vie But, having said that and recalling what Ms D said about her own piercings & tats this time last year, it is much easier when one changes her or his mind to take out a stud or ring than it is to wipe away sub-dermal ink, no?

Did you get a chance to speak to her long enough to know she doesn't have a job? Did you look at those tattoos and automatically assume she is living on welfare and worth your disdain? Do you think she really cares to have the kind of job that would preclude her from having a neck tattoo?

And how is self expression a lame excuse? Why else get a tattoo other than for self expression? What reasons do you have for getting a tattoo anywhere?

Stereotypes come from somewhere.

And when she was paying for her meal, I noticed that she pulled out her food stamp debit card on accident. And she was having a conversation with guy friend about how her "SSI Disability" was taking too long to get.

I'm not saying that you have to be welfare if you have a tattoo or vice versa. And I don't really mind tattoos. But if it's on your face, neck, etc...etc... you've got to wonder about the person.

[mancocapac]

"Stereotypes come from somewhere"? Holy cow, what a short sighted foolish thing to say! And lazy! And just stupid. Must be an easy way to lead a life.

I am not going to get into this anymore. I come to this site to enjoy good-looking women, not to get into irrational preconceived idiocies.

I'm not big on Tats on female especially if they are large or on places that looks unsightly..face,necks..But its their body and if they're 18 or older then if it pleases them to cover themselfs in tats and put them in places that is considered unsightly to others then its thier right to self expression.
As for keeping them from getting jobs I have seen women with Tats working different jobs.As for Miss D's tats I do like hers and if she had decided to keep them instead of getting them removed I wouldn't have liked her less.Tats doesn't take away from what the person is on the inside where it counts the most. :)

Only if you are looking stalkerish doing it.....if you are busting your gut laughing and saying "wait till my friends see this!" it will probably be ok. Of course your chances of getting her number would be roughly negative 500 at that point, not that most guys would care about that if she had a big assed tat on her neck :D

It has nothing to do with self expression, in most cases it is a fashion statement. Unfortunately, unlike other fashion statements, it is not so easy to get rid of when fashion moves on. Girls aren't putting these things on their bodies because they want to express themselves, they are doing it because everyone else is doing it and therefore it is cool. Until it isn't anymore.

Well said, amigo! I have a relative who has tats on her stomach, lower back & "Lover" across her shoulders. She's a wicked singer, a woman whom I respect immensely, and I for one wouldn't have her be any way other than she is. She was beautiful before her tats, and is beautiful now. And as for family, her father teaches history at a private school in New England, her grandfather ran a regional railroad in Pennsylvania.

A fashion statement is a form of self-expression. The fashion one chooses to use, whether via tattoos or clothing, &c., is just a means of conveying to others an image said person wishes to express.

"Art is in the eye of the beholder" to my way of thinking counts here, too. In this case, the art of the individual's body. Whose opinion matters most? The person who modifies her or his body first and foremost. Myself I have no tattoos and have no desire to get any. They aren't my thing, and like Raymond I prefer skin au natural. What might be nice is a type of ink that wears off or fades after a year or two unless reapplied (somehow I suspect Ms D would as well) since one's mood at this stage of life is not necessarily the same ten or twenty years later. Its not for me to say what anyone should do to or with their body--call that a liberal or libertarian (no big Ls) perspective.

To follow fashion is to follow the herd. While some tats are a form of expression, in the vast majority of cases it is herd-following. That is why you usually see similar motifs in similar locations on the body. I don't have much respect for that.

It is the same as the difference between fashion and style. The former is bad and the latter good, even thought they are the same "thing".

I don't mind Danielle's tattoos. But If she had one across her neck, I doubt she'd have as many members. Maybe if it were a well-done piece of art. But the tattoo I saw on this girl was just some poorly done jibbereish.

[glenfoxman]

I must admit I dont have tattoos, I didnt think I liked them on men, there was one man who changed my mind, a British star, then Alexs didnt seem so bad, now I love Alexs especially the lower back Alex withou tattoos ? nice but NOOOOO

Not a fan of of tats in general. I can live with small ones, but those big ones are a bit much. In their quest to be unique and/or make a fashion or artistic statement, a lot of people just end up looking the same as everybody else. My .02 worth.

I find that tattoos, no matter where, ghettosizes the female body. But tattoos are here to stay unfortunately, so one must accept it. Even if a certain kind of tattoo goes out of style, an even more invasive and blunt style of tattoo takes its place. Just look at the Playboy playmate of the year Jayde Nicole, and her cheezeball 'respect' tattoo over her vagina.

True, but all in all fashion is herd-following. People see someone they want to follow dress, behaving or adorn themselves a certain way and emulate them. I used to wear a kilt all the time. Then Axl Rose started wearing a kilt and I saw people emulating him, so I quit. People are in many, many respects a herd animal (although pack-animal, a la wolves is way cooler!), so what can you, or I, do? I'll admit, when I see a young woman with a garish tattoo I do cringe and wonder why, Lord, why deface such perfection? So rather than focus on the superficial adornment of piercings or tattoos nowadays when I find someone who is interesting I try to dig beneath and find out if they're thoughtful or intelligent, and maybe glean some insight into why they adornment themselves thusly. Then there are times when you understand the individual reasons behind the tattoo I can see the ink as more than a blemish. Admittedly, those times are few and far between (remember, I'm not tattooed myself, not fond of the medium, &c.), LOL!

Agreed. And you have the added burden of running sites that have avoided tattoos for the most part, as opposed to others who relish & delight in them. That's a big part of what sets your work apart from the others, and something that I am positive that with the growing trend (remember when a woman's tattoo was basically limited to a tribal band around her bicep? Ahh, the good ol' days ...) towards bigger, more awkwardly placed tattoos more and more people will be coming back to your work to get a break and remind themselves that this is what a woman looks like sans modifications. And likewise I think that Ms D's moves to remove first her nose piercing and then her tattoos actually serves as a good example for other women, a cautionary tale that what sounds cool now might not be so cool tomorrow so better sleep on it before doing something rash. To that point, I downloaded & showed Ms D's initial tattoo removal video to the older of my nieces last year when she was going on & on about temp tattoos, &c., so that she was more aware of how permanent a real tattoo is and how uncomfortable it can be when removing it.

Or just do what I've seen one solo model site do and airbrush the tattoo out of the images. LOL I swear, this model had a 3 star tattoo just below her panty line. So I'm guessing to make her look more young and innocent, they airbrushed them out of all (well most, they forgot a few) photos. Evidently, they didn't realize that'd you still be able to see them in the videos. So, not really sure what they were thinking there. Seems like a waste of time to me. LOL

That is so funny lol, maybe they should have put censor bubbles on the videos to cover up the tattoos as well Jeffrey.:D:D

I saw a sexy looking asian girl checking my brother out at the market last weekend, and she had one of those tattoos, looked kind of ugly.

[Just Me]

I wonder if Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and Kat pull out Food Stamp cards when they pay for something they purchase at stores, cause man they are covered in tattoos.. lol

[Leonita]

I have a tattoo (technically it's two cuz it takes up both arms but i got it on the same day in the same session and one side wouldn't make sense without the other) so obviously I don't mind tattoos. I don't care when people say they don't like tattoos because I got it for myself anyway. You are not my target market, haha. I am however against these fashion tattoos some girls get i.e anything on the lower back or right above their vagina. I see it as, if i'm looking at these areas, you already got me. No need to apply glitter and neon lights, i'm already on board.

[Max]

Umpf! A neck tattoo that obvious does ruin chances to some jobs, too, I think. Bank or consulting jobs, for example.

One thing I've always questioned about ruining a chance at a job is "will this cost the company any money?"

[clarkstar]

i don't mind neck tattoos on women, they can be classy imo. i wouldn't not hire someone because of them, it's no longer 1980

I think a lot of girls end up regretting getting their tattoos, especially in my case, hence why I'm having them removed.
