    You are exactly right. I waited around 12 months to get mine.
    Years ago I wanted the Evanescence logo on my arm. Good thing I waited six months, or I'd be having it lasered off!

    I waited over a year for mine and drew it myself. The next item on the agenda is a shoulder to shoulder tattoo on my back. But given the size and expense, that will probably be a year plus consideration.

    An intelligent person wouldn't make statistics from his @ss.

    You're saying more scientists could have tattoos implying you're not sure yourself and have no evidence to prove that millions of scientists do have tattoos by replying with a could. So how can you call me ignorant or less intelligent when you don't have facts to prove your point. On the other hand I have common sense, I'm certain that the majority of scientists or intellectuals don't have tattoos while a considerable proportion of working class peoples do have tattoos, if we make a ratio;

    Working class people= 5:10 tattoos
    Scientists and intellectuals = 1:10 tattoos

    and there are more working class people than scientists and intellectuals.

    Get the picture?

    Wolverine, I meant to say the majority, so what if a dozen scientists have tattoos, but the majority of red necks, porn stars, chavs, workign clas people do have tattoos and I wonder why.

    Wolverine = self ownage.

    So, you're using religion as the basis for judging other people, which, by the standards of Christianity, you're not supposed to do either...

    Nice...

    Motorcycle Gangs ... Righto.NOT Motorcycles.
    Unless guys like Roy Rogers and Steve McQueen mean nothing as Icon.
    Not to forget James Dean and even Elvis.
    Don't forget ... " You meet the Nicest People on a Honda ".

    Yes,just like Catholics are taught not to ADORE other humans.That is reserved only for
    the Creator.Plus Vanity can be taken to extreme and be a mortal sin.

    My Proof.Where are Tattoo parlors.Certainly not in High rent districts where
    successful wealthy Americans shop.Tattoo parlor are ALWAYS in the scuzzy parts of
    town as in Red Light Districts near Pawn Shops and blue collar bars.
    Tattoo parlor are also in Ports where Navy shore leave is a natural attraction.
    To get a Tattoo is an admonition of having one left their brain at home.

    That's ridiculous too...

    Where I live, right when you get into the city, a relatively nice city, I might add, there are about 4-5 tattoo shops within a mile radius...

    They're not in any sort of bad area...

    As far as leaving one's brain at home, that's just another stupid generalization...

    Say what?

    I don't think anyone can really know the answer to that. Didn't the caveman they found in ice have tattoos?

    You can not equate honor with tattoos, sorry.

    I think you would be very surprised by the amount of people who you probably assume have no ink, actually do. I would include doctors, lawyers and financiers in that category.

    My tattoo artist is right in the middle of a small town in upstate New York. Surrounded by a bank and a pizza joint...

    I got my first tattoo @ 17 years old. It was a small piece I got on my arm, and I will admit, I got it as more of a cool factor than anything. Fast forward ten years (almost 11) and I now have five and am totally engulfed in the tattoo culture. I have an average of 2+ years in between each piece. Each and every piece I did took a lot of thought and many, many trips to my artist to make sure they were exactly what I wanted and nothing less than perfect. I am lucky enough to have an artist who tells me the truth and will simply refuse to do a piece that he thinks will be meaningless or look dumb. Oddly enough, last time I was up there, he spent the entire time trying to convince me not to finish my 3/4 sleeve just yet. Unfortunately, I have no choice but to wait because the police department has already logged each and every piece I have, with explanations of their meaning and why I got them.

    My artist is also quite an incredible man.He is in his late sixties. He was a professional boxer (trained with Mike Tyson when he lived in upstate NY), a Hells Angel (no longer), he teaches speed skating (including Apolo Ohno), is a professor at Vassar College (I believe he taught art and sculpting) and has paintings in the White House. They have no website, no art online and having an average wait time of 6 months. They are also in a small town in upstate New York. He is quite an amazing man.

    Pot, meet kettle.

    Let me ask you a question Herk, and please excuse me if my question offends you. You are an out of shape, overweight gentleman, are you not?

    What's dumber, having a tattoo or making a life decision to over eat, gain weight, participate in little to no physical activity which will cut your life expetency by years? I believe you've made a far less intelligent life decision than someone who puts a mark on their skin. And you make the decision to do it everyday.

    This isn't judging others.It's judging the sin.The sin of Vanity or desecrating one's
    body with body art.

    I am sure you are smart enough to understand that many people do not believe that tattoo's are "sinful."

    :lol: I have to laugh when people use demonstrably false absolutes like the blatant lie above. It shows they're not playing with a full deck and are being dishonest. Then again, bigotry can be rather blinding, especially in condescending "Christians". They give the rest of us Christians a bad rep.

    I know of two tattoo parlors close to me. Nice area. No red light district. The nearest pawn shop I know of is about six miles away. The closest bar is a high end chain sports bar. I live in an upper middle class neighborhood. Those two can't be the only ones.

    Wow. I stand corrected. According to Google Maps there are 8 tattoo parlors within a mile of me.
