    I think if someone covered in tattoos is offended by staring, then they shouldn't have gotten them in the first place.

    I'm not sure if it's just because of how small your picture is, but you remind me so much of Bones DeLarge from Lower Class Brats.....(if you even know who that is LOL).

    They didn't get the tattoos to be the center of your attention. They got their tattoos for them, so they have every right to get offended if you stare and stare and stare and don't say anything. Sure, they might assume you were looking at their tats, but they can't read minds.

    True, but the fact of the matter is that if you get a tattoo where about 95% of the time it's gonna be exposed, you'd better be prepared for some looks. If they don't like stares, then they should've thought about that before they got the tattoo. I'm not saying they have no right to be offended, I'm just saying they should at least realize that people are gonna look.

    Gah, I hate to agree with you, but its truth, almost.

    However, they do infact have NO right to be offended. If they're so worried about people looking at them, then they shouldn't have visible tattoo's

    Serious? read my previous post. People that have tattoos for themselves or otherwise cannot in any single way get offended by others looking. It is like the fucking Mona Lisa. DaVinci painted the Mona Lisa for others to enjoy his artwork. It didn't matter if he painted her for himself or for something else. It is there, it is being seen, and it is being enjoyed.

    Like i said. I love the recognition (good or bad) that my tattoos get. It laughable when its bad recognition. Regardless of the kind It makes me feel good that others are enjoying what I put hard work into.

    I wish I could afford you, lolol.

    I forgot about mine that I need to get finished.

    But I agree to a high extent that tats are put on for other people to see as well as for your own gratification. A lot of people also get them for their own memories. Later, QD.

    i think your wrong sugar biscuit....

    I have more than several tatts that i have gotten for me and me only. They are all strategically placed for me to see them. And half of them are places where others can see. I dont mind pple looking or staring bc i know its there to be seen ..lol (and i know im fine ass hell ) so its whateva. Anyone who has tatts where others can see should automatically know you will get looked at...so get over it cause its not considered rude anymore unless it obviously does not pertain to your tatts. Even then?! Fuck'em and do you.....

    I agree, It doesn't really bother me . But their are a lot of people that it does. I think those people just have a chip on their shoulder and are looking for a reason to get upset anyhow...
