nathanm Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Tattoos: Omnipresent art with no eraser and no Undo? No thanks! The eye contact issue makes your videos a bit strange to watch. Are you reading notes from a screen or are you looking at yourself in a viewfinder?

aFireInside Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I think this is true. When I was a teen I got lip piercings and ear gauges because I wanted people to notice me. I would have gotten tattoos if I could. I couldn’t scream for help so that’s what I did. Now all that I have are scares...
Panoptic Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Wow thank you so much for your view on tattoos. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now, but I have been designing it myself and was planning on getting it someday. I really should think about the real reasons I want it.
PatrickC Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Yes, the only time I ever seriously considered a tat was whilst I was living in Australia and I was living within this surfers commune in Nimbin (east coast). Looking back now, with the odd exception, those folk were obsessed with having tats in the most painful of areas, such as underarms or around ankles. I remember holding a girls hand as she had her ankle done and she was weeping throughout the whole session. I asked the tatooist to stop to see whether she wanted him to carry on. She was like, 'no, no, carry on'. I decided there and then that I was never going to entertain the idea of having one.
