I don’t know about “many”, but of course there are some men who like to wear them. There are men who like to walk on nails too!

But the real problem is the requirement in so many places that men MUST wear suits/ties. This is both unethical and immoral.

When it comes to *this* subject, I most certainly am.

Males need to WAKE UP!

Yep.

Nothing wrong with looking good. There is nothing like the respect that a good suit commands.

“Nothing wrong with looking good” – agreed totally. However, a suit isn’t “looking good” – you can look a Hell of a lot BETTER by wearing many things other than a suit. Look at history and/or the world’s ethnic clothing. A row…[Read more]

Nuts, I couldn’t even “focus on the beauty of the art” as I couldn’t see it! It was just dealing with the pain – I found that “relaxing into” the pain is what worked best. Accepting the needle and even welcoming it into my skin – if that makes any sense whatsoever.

If you really want the blow-by-blow of this:

Ahh Saudi Arabia, where the women aren’t allowed to drive or vote or go out in public without a male escorting them…. Bin Laden came from there, not surprisingly.

Be careful – there are those who want the USA to abide by similar, religiously based laws. 🙁

If you’ve got it, flaunt it! 😀

How about “its not pleasant ANY of the time!”?

My 4 hour “tramp stamp” experience varied from “mild irritation” to “hurts like Hell”. I got to where I could “process the pain”, one of my dance teachers was there for the first couple of hours and said my sh*t eating grin was…[Read more]

I hear what you are saying sadly some places do look down on tattoos that show when you are wearing full business wear.

True enough – but then again I won’t be caught DEAD wearing “full business wear”. Neckties and suits are the attire of slaves – the “male burqa”. Don’t just say “no”, say “HELL NO!”.

To OP: Capris? Really?

My late father LOVED mine when I got it. But then again he had two from his WW II navy stint – one gotten on Honolulu, the other in New Zealand. He became inspired to do a text memorial to my late mother after I got my tatt.

I like it for reasons pretty much opposite of most others in this thread.

I’m not much on skulls in general – I like “pretty” or “beautiful” tattoos personally. But this one just works. The bird, the little (holly?) berries or whatever growing around the skull – it just works. Changing the bird to a raven or similar wouldn’t “ruin” it, but it…[Read more]

If you have really done your research and committed time and money resources into your tattoo then there is a very good chance that the people on this forum will recognize that, regardless of whether or not they personally like the style, etc.

You ask 10 people for advice, you’ll get 11 answers. Especially if its about Tribal around here…

Personally, I love your Tribal, and the eye of Horus – but I’d lose the Oriental. It doesn’t go with the Tribal. However, in the name of full disclosure, I have about the same opinion of Oriental as most here do of Tribal – I don’t like it.

Feminine, schmeminine. If you like it, get it!

You have to understand that my wife doesn’t handle change well. I’m always the leader, she’s always kicking and screaming – but eventually wants “it”, whatever “it” may be at the time…

She wasn’t too happy about my tattoo plans, but agrees that it really looks cool with my costuming. And of course, now that she’s watched me do it, she’s…[Read more]

1) Male
2) Yes
3) (Likely to get another)
4) Yes
5) Something pretty. Florals or Henna inspired are my faves.
6) What difference does gender make with ear piercing? Anyway, I have pierced ears.
7) Yes
8) Yes
9) Ear, navel, some lip piercings, some nose piercings. Eyebrows, not so much…
10) What question 10?

Yaaaaaawn. It was only a 5.8, roll over and go back to sleep…
