      Yeah for sure. I just mean trying to turn something "important enough for a tattoo" into something aesthetically pleasing. It's not always going to turn out good… People are just brainwashed into thinking tattoos need to have a really deep meaning so they go searching for one

        Are grown-ups still having tattoos? I thought that was now solely the preserve of the under-14s!

          Seconded. Among my friends and acquaintances, work colleagues and the like, that sense of regret of having been tattooed, particularly when it's been done excessively, seems to grow. Denim heads, bikers and the like seem to be fonder of tattooing, and perhaps late adapters of them becoming less popular.

          Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

              I'm still keen for more, and the trend seems to still be expanding in general in Sydney.

                  When I was 18 and the first tattoo studio opened in our town I thought about it and even took a look at the motives. Then half the school started to get tattooed and I decided for myself not to get one. Now that everyone and their mother has tattoos (I mean realy, even my mom got 2 tattoos) it makes me the exotic one in the crowd. 🙂

                    I like this approach @Cole –- and don't mind in the least to join you among the odd ones out.

                      Nonsensical Chinese and Arabic script tattoos are still my favourites. I don't really mind tattoos, I find it a little ironic that some people get them to be 'different', 'expressive' and 'individual' but end up looking like everyone else with a load of smudgy ink over them.

                        Definitely true. Another thing is that for every good tattoo, there are a million bad ones. And the bad ones are real bad, and trashy. I still subconsciously associate tattoos with sketchiness and trashiness, and I like the damn things! When they're done well at least.

                        One of the trends I've been seeing that I hate are people (girls) who get really small tattoos in a bunch of random places on their body. That way they can be cool and look trendy but not actually have to face any of the realities that come with a tattoo that you can actually see!

                            Tattoos should only be used for gaining manna.

                                  I'm thinking of having a pair of jeans tattooed on my bottom half in indigo so that they will fade and crock over time like a real pair of jeans. I will try not to bath or shower for the first 6 months.

                                          Thanks for the input, I'm thinking of using sanforized ink so I shouldn't need to size up.

                                          I'll keep the fly area unadorned - Action Man style!
