van the man Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 My preference is definitely for no tats. Silky smooth pale skin is perfect. We describe the look as an English Rose (Princess Diana for example was always called our English Rose). In addition to many tattoos a very fashionable look is the heavily tanned. Fake tan by the bucket load is applied manually or by spray can. It looks yuk! Over centuries various looks have signalled wealth. In the Tudor era and through to the Victorians being fat was considered great because it signalled wealth, in the modern era a good sun tan was considered great because it signalled enough wealth to enable be able to take foreign holidays in the sun. Currently a great sign of wealth is bright shinny teeth. America led the way and the UK and the rest of the western world are rapidly catching up. Bright beyond belief the modern wealthy people have the a mouthful of teeth that seem to glow in the dark. So fashion has usually been driven by the need to express wealth. What I don't understand is how the fashion for tattoos have entered the mainstream upper and middle classes. Tattoos used to be for the lower classes, uneducated who did manual labour or were in the military or merchant navy or various African tribes where it all began. So what has led it to go mainstream among the wealthy classes? Maybe rebellion is only for the wealthy. Maybe they say 'I am wealthy therefore I don't have to conform'. But tattoos are being had by all classes and all levels of society. So I can't fathom what it is about. If it is simply a fashion statement then the statement is for life. Fashion is meant to be transient. So what will they all do when tattoos are no longer fashionable?
TBG 150 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 You're too damned over-analytical. Or, I've consumed too much vodka already.
van the man Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I know I am but I have a need to know things!!!!!
timcol Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 They said the same thing about grunge. I would have said grunge music, but that would be an oxymoron.
woodworker Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 I agree strongly with both Van the Man, and Tgb150. On soldiers, it's speaks of their manliness, on girls, to me anyway, it doesn't speak so well for them.
Guest andrew Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 My God, what narrow-mindedness ... It's so primitive assume that the t attoos, it is only for whores and sailors.! This view of man, backward from the modern world. It looks very sexy and bold. A girl who looks so sexy, never will behave like a log in bed!
Guest friedel Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 wo sieht maya sexy aus.Die hat sich die letzte zeit zum schlechteren verändert.
Guest friedel Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 wenn du wüstest was da geht,würdest du nicht so über sie sprechen.Ich weiß ein bischen mehr als du
Guest Squirrel Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 My god! Maya gets a tattoo and CamCaps members have a bar brawl about it. I haven't even seen the god damn thing! I haven't seen her for days! I just hope it's tasteful. That would be good enough for me because I am rather fond of the lady and I respect her. I'll be over at (The Web Page Link is No Longer Accessible and has been Removed) discussing general tats & piercings with other civilized animals. 8)
Guest Squirrel Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Maybe it's just a stamp that says "USDA Grade A Choice." See ya at (The Web Page Link is No Longer Accessible and has been Removed)
Guest Squirrel Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Wow. Thanks for the picture; I hadn't realized that she was damn near competing with Varya in the tattooed thigh department...
van the man Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 A unicorn or dragon probably being ridden by some mythical figure. A beautiful girl with a scar for life!
