Sorry Les, not sure what you mean...?

Turbohot

What Les is saying is that it's more difficult to get rid of a tattoo from your body, and it's easier to get rid of the wife from your life.

Some may argue that the wife would cost more to get rid, whereas a tattoo is cheaper to be removed with a laser in compare.

I say both activities are going to be bloody painful and leave scars

Turbohot

Sure, but some may argue that a physical scar is less painful than a psychological scar. They may say that a pocket can be stitched back, but a wounded heart can be difficult to mend.

Physical pain is a state of mind...emotional pain is a test

Turbohot

However, there's a 'becoming' after enduring that emotional pain, not a reversal to some happy, 'fixed' state. As they say, the more the gold endures fire, the purer it becomes.

Absolutely...hence my use of the word test, although maybe trial would be a better word

Being a bloke I prefer the forging of steel as an analogy (obviously)

Before i had my tatt all i got was the same story of how much they hurt,and you bleed etc,the guy said everyone has a different pain barrier,and how long you can go through it.Was a little discomfort but it really felt no more worse than if you had lightly scratched your skin,i said to the tattoo guy can we do it in one sitting,so total time was 4 hours.
It did get a bit discomfort towards the last 20/30 mins,i actually found the colouring worse than the outlining.What did hurt was my **** cheek the next morning from laying on my side.
So 2 weeks on wasn't much scabbing but it did itch like a bugger for a few days,still using the lotion and its feeling nice and smooth now.

Thank you Swati.

I can confirm that reverting to an unmarried status is financially challenging and phsychologically painful.

Here we go, case proven^. No further questions, sub-topic closed.

PS- Psychology doesn’t have ‘h’ in it, but I understand you’re in p-h-h-h-h-ain, so no worries, man.

God, that h-h-h has reminded me of the X Factor last night.


On a serious note, take it easy, Graham. It takes some ***** to make changes in life, and then face up to the challenges. Best wishes.

Back to tattoos >


And that's fine. Tattoo is a personal choice. You owe nothing to me and the likes for having one or not for having another. I'm sure yours is a nice one to you, and enjoy it, DYK.

I don't think one should be discriminated on the basis of their tattoo obsession; depending on the job, I agree. There's a connection between obsession and intelligence. I'm not saying that a lot of thick people have tattoos, and they may look terrible to others’ eyes. But there're some very clever and talented people out there with extensive tattoo network on their body.

Basically, nothing wrong with being obsessed. It's just that what you're obsessed has to be a good one. Some choose tattoos to be obsessed with, and that's their choice, to be fair.

One of the most repulsive tattoos I've seen is a completely nakkid woman on a lorry driver's exposed bit of arm when he drove past our village. He goes around with his nick-name 'TAT' on a number plate placed on his lorry's dashboard. I thought only the lorry drivers have nick-names like these until I met an Escadron de chasse 1/12 Cambrésis pilot known as 'T1T’s'. He flew Nato F-5E/F Tiger II.

the pain is determined by it's location...some places are plain easy (I fell asleep whilst having the back of my calf done!), whilst other places are immensely painful (my feet actually started to involuntarily spasm whilst having the sides of them done).

Lighter colours are worse because more ink is required to get a uniform, long lasting and vivid effect...it entails going over and over the same area and that gets nasty.

Psychology does have an "h" in it, actually.

I had the most enormous bat wings when the inside of my biceps were done and the further into your arm pit the more sensitive it is for sure...elbow was OK but inside the wrists were pretty painful. I believe the numbing cream only works on open wounds so they have to get stuck in first

Turbohot

You know what I meant, Shakespeare. I meant the extra one he used after the 'p' for psychology. May be he was combining psychology to physiology- subconsciously.
