Not Engaged Yet

Please tell me I'm crazy.

I've been tattoo crazy for about five weeks now and cannot shake the desire to get another one.

And I have five of them.

Please help me shed these crazy pants and bring me to my senses.
PLEASE.

Re: Please tell me I'm crazy.

  • You're crazy. 

    Now, what tattoo do you want and where? 

    And why are we supposed to talk you off a tattoo ledge? Does your BF hate them as much as my FI does?

    <div>I'm thinking of getting white ink, on my wrists. I'm flip flopping between a few ideas. I went in to talk to the studio where I've gone in the pase (and is the best place without having to go deep into Houston) and talked to the guy who does do white ink. This got me way more excited. </div><div>
    </div><div>BF doesn't hate them at all and he's been thinking about what he wants. </div><div>
    </div><div>I just wonder if I should be waiting longer to make these decisions/should be making these decisions already since I got my last one in April. </div>

    Just a note, if you ever plan on going into a profession where visible tattoos are frowned on, you may have to work hard to cover them up. A co-worker of mine has tattoos on her wrists too, and she has to wear watches and big bracelets to cover them up, every single day. Another has a partial sleeve and has to wear at least a 1/2 sleeve cardigan everyday to cover it up.

    Just food for thought. (I feel like an old fuddy duddy saying "think of the future" but sadly it is true.)

    FI want a FULL back tattoo, but he keeps changing his mind as to what he wants, so I keep advising him against it until he has wanted the same thing for a while. Honestly, I'd be thrilled if he never got a tattoo though.

    Yeah, actually more ladies than I expected have tattoos. Even one of the male teachers has his calves totally tatted up. Only a few have tattoos that are visible unless effort is made to cover them up. Most have tats on their back, shoulders, hips, and other places that are covered up naturally.

    Of course not. 

    ...But our engagement is an inside joke, so we probably shouldn't talk about it.

    (Sorry, Jorja.  I couldn't help myself.)
  • HAHA! Okay so I am watching SYTTD and low an behold this chick has a FULL BACK dragon tattoo and she wants to show it off in her wedding dress but her mom wants it covered. How fitting.
    imageWedding Countdown Ticker
  • Lamar, he just thinks their stupid and tacky. I can't rationally explain his argument because it doesn't make sense to him. 

    He thinks the tattoo will change it's meaning (which, duh, but that doesn't mean I'll hate it. A book I read in elementary school has changed meaning to me now, but I still love it) and I'll regret it. 

    Crazy thing is, my tattoos are about my faith, something that won't change. And my current one is small, but the one I want is bigger, and I think that scares him. 

    Elle, well, as long as we're still on. ;) (oh sh!t, I did it again)

    LTG, in my BFF's wedding, her sister (MOH) had a scorpio/libra tatoo across the top half of her back completely visible in all of the wedding pictures of them at the altar. My BFF was NOT happy.

  • LTG: That's how mine are too! All are covered up if I'm wearing clothes... and I plan on a profession that involves clothing. And I've seen the SYTTD! She was crazy to me. I don't want an upper back/sholder blade tattoo solely because of how I think it will look when I wear open backed dresses. 

    Drew: My mom is the same way. She also likes to remind me that in 50 years it will look bad. I don't think I'll be too worried about the state of my tattoos when I'm 70... but thanks for playing. 
    She was so upset when I got my Dad's name tattooed on me that she went as far to tell me he'd be disgusted with me if he were here to see it. 
    Not gonna lie "physically sick" would definitely deter me. Also it would hurt my feelings too.

    Irish: I'm amazed at how much your SO (along with Drew's) are against them. I guess I don't see what the harm is if they can be completely covered. 

    I just wish sleeves and huge peices were socially acceptable. :(

    If she wanted it taken out of her favorites, it really isn't that hard. FI and I had a picture taken at the lake and there was a truck, a road, a playground, some telephone poles and and boater in an ugly cap in the picture, so using the magic of photoshop I removed them. :)

    <div>Yep, agree. I just don't get how my tattoo effects his well-being. </div><div>
    </div><div>Lamar, that would piss me off. My mom was furious with me when I got my tattoo (I was 19 and living at home) and told me I would have to answer to my dad. My dad asked me why I got it and what meaning it had and then said "cool." We haven't really talked much about it since. </div>

    [QUOTE]LTG: That's how mine are too! All are covered up if I'm wearing clothes...<strong> and I plan on a profession that involves clothing</strong>. And I've seen the SYTTD! She was crazy to me. I don't want an upper back/sholder blade tattoo solely because of how I think it will look when I wear open backed dresses.  Drew: My mom is the same way. She also likes to remind me that in 50 years it will look bad. I don't think I'll be too worried about the state of my tattoos when I'm 70... but thanks for playing.  She was so upset when I got my Dad's name tattooed on me that she went as far to tell me he'd be disgusted with me if he were here to see it.  Not gonna lie "physically sick" would definitely deter me. Also it would hurt my feelings too. Irish: I'm amazed at how much your SO (along with Drew's) are against them. I guess I don't see what the harm is if they can be completely covered.  I just wish sleeves and huge peices were socially acceptable. :(

    <div>Man, all my plans to get my ass tattooed are shattered. </div><div>
    </div><div>Really though, the best possible anti stretch place is the wrist, which is where I have my current one. The only thing that has stopped me from getting another one was not knowing where to put it. </div><div>
    </div><div>Anyways, when my grandson asks about my tattoo I'm going to be so glad to tell him about Jesus and the impact he's made on my life. </div>

  • I'm glad I've got some solidarity then. I just don't share as much with her as I used to. i'm coming to learn that if I don't follow my mother's morals she becomes very judgey.
