I'm fascinated by sleeves.......I view them as a form of expressive art.....
When someone goes by with sleeves man or woman I can't stop staring at the sleeve. In fact, today sitting
outside having a coffee, the girl I was with asked me did I have a good look at the girl that walked by.....the girl with
a low cut top.....and a nice sleeve in dark ink on her left arm....as I stared at her as she passed. My response was simply "that
tatt was so well done..." drooling. I don't remember her tits.
And oddly enough I thought of so suave. There was a thread similar to this, perhaps about a year ago.....that women with tattoos indicates an instant red flag and just like some posters on this thread instigate.....men with tattoos are suspect......
Where there's perception there's deception.
Fellas, having a vagina is a red flag in itself in 2017, bringing all that entails with it......
Adapt.
Tattoos mean different things for different people. To lump an all encompassing exclusive judgment onto every single person on this
globe that has chosen to ink themselves, shows a real lack of a world perspective and says more about your shortsightedness and limiting frame than anything else.
Again, look at Lionel Messi's tattoos (Argentinian forward who plays for Barcelona). Art. A thing of beauty. A homage to Catalunya. It's interesting how some people's viewpoint of him changed......"he used to be so clean-cut......now he's a bad boy".....personally I think his sleeves look fvcking amazing and they actually enhance him. He looks boring in his "before" pics!
...But that's just my subjective opinion.
Obviously to get a tattoo with the intention of impressing anyone is weak, but equally not getting a tattoo even though you want one, because of other people's potential disapproval, is just as bad...
Incidentally the amount of times that an attempted indirect "shame" has come my way with the tired same old line of "oh I'd get a tattoo, but it would look ghastly on my skin when I am 70". I swear I must have heard that a thousand times. I retort with a smile that "I don't waste my precious waking hours working about how my skin might look if I live to be 70, I'm too busy living life"
On the flip side of that, I have to relate to
@deesade on this occasion that I too have experienced that first time tattoo conversation time and time again, she's probably never going to get it, but just for a little while she's going to live her tattoo fantasy vicariously through you......the excitement in those chicks as you encourage them to go ahead and fulfill their desires is palpable....
