RexTalionis: I don't get the whole excessive piercings and tattoos look. It just doesn't look good to me.

You're not welcome here.

I don't know. The 90s aren't really that modern anymore. It is 2011. It's been a while.

so long as certain membranes are intact everything's cool right?

The images on that site didn't work for me. anyone care to post them please?

I see no pics and don't speak German.

Mmmm, Suicide Girls...

Don't mind tattoos, but neck tattoo are a 100 percent turnoff.

It isn't ink-stained that I'm worried about, if you catch my drift.

Stupid subby, if I wanted to read French websites I'd go to Canada.

If you're submitting something on an American internet it better damn well be in ENGLISH

Stop whining and look at the pictures!

Nice thing about working for Disney, you only have to learn to draw one female face.

I'll never understand tattoos and piercings.

I mean, even though I think they're one of the dumbest things one could do, I don't mind people having them done. Everybody has a right to do dumb shiat. Especially when they don't harm anyone else.

But what I don't get is this:

Tattoo/piercing people love to say that we shouldn't judge people by their tattoos/piercings, but I've seen countless people getting tattoos/piercings done because it's cool or because it makes oral sex better or some crap (that's for the tongue piercing). Even better, they judge people for not having tattoos/piercings (i.e.: They're not cool enough).

If you can look cooler by havint tattoos/piercings, then that means it's a "judgeable" trait. Don't expect all judgement to be positive.

Also, WHAT do tattoos/piercings really bring to the table? To this date NOBODY has given me a reasonable argument. The closest one is the old tattoo one: "it's something meaningful for me", which is a pretty nebulous thing anyway, but kinda understandable. Still, hard to believe the people wrapped in tattoos have so many meaningful things.

Also, don't say "it's part of my nature", because if you hadn't seen other tattooed people, it's very likely you'd never even thought about it. Tattooing is not in our DNA or anything.

/pretty sure you're just being silly, but I like that macro

Chrome is asking me "Do you want to translate this page from GERMAN to ENGLISH?".

So it's not just him. Now take that attitude and shove it.

Well, that was stupid.

What ever happened to the days of planning ahead for your tats? Make it so that all your ink can be covered by nice clothing (for funerals, weddings and job interviews). Secondly consider being inked in such a manner that you can wear a tee-shirt and shorts while not showing ink. That way you can show up at the family reunion with your having to listen to your great aunt biatch. These days the stuff is looking like urban sprawl. shiat started on your back and now it is some weird mishmash of colors running down your arms that doesn't look good and doesn't appear to have a plan.

Like most other Marines I have Semper Fi inked on my body and a bit of additional work, but I can cover it easily when society requires me to.

/recently interviewed a kid who had shiat from Little Big Planet running down both arms and onto the back of his hands
//had to ask him where the characters were from
/I'm not hiring you because of the ink, I'm not hiring you because you lack the common sense to avoid looking like a walking piece of Hepatitis

RexTalionis: I don't get the whole excessive piercings and tattoos look. It just doesn't look good to me.

I think it's called "hipster douchebag".

Ed Grubermann: Well, that was stupid.

Yep. Those are the exact words I was getting ready to post

the_sidewinder: rocky_howard: So it's not just him. Now take that attitude and shove it.

I am at a loss for words, because only he seems to think the page is in french

That and the sentiment that any site on the WORLD wide web should only be in English

/That's why chrome has a translator built in, and why you'll notice that it gives other options for you to translate to
//I think you're just being silly too, but I seem to have had a poor sleep last night and am cranky

Someone go get some pliers so we can get the hook out of sidewinder's jaw.

Well, it's not called Monde Ample Toile :P

Link borked for me. Pics please.

/for research

Stinkbeard: Pics please.

The pictures are all in French. You wouldn't be able to understand them anyway.

Yeesh, the Mulan one reminds me eerily of the way my ex-wife looked when I got back from a several month long deployment. Sure she had ink before I left, but when I got back she was crazy with ink and piercings and crazy in general.

Two things:

1: A link to a link to another site you could have simply posted in the first place is really damn annoying.

2: I would have been far more impressed with original work, instead of, predominantly b&W, pallette swaps/overlays.

Those are all wrong, you see a Disney Princess would never get a neck tattoo. She would only get Tattoos that could be covered up for formal occasions.

You've just projected your own judgment onto those which you're judging and saying they shouldn't be judgmental about the judgment you're claiming they did...

O_o

I would wreck that Suicide Mulan for sure.

torusXL: You've just projected your own judgment onto those which you're judging and saying they shouldn't be judgmental about the judgment you're claiming they did...

O_o

No, I didn't.

I've seen that behaviour. Heck, I've been a victim of that behaviour.

It would have been cooler if they hadn't done half the pics in black and white.
The problem with most of those tattoos is if they get too busy, it ends up looking like a smeared bruise.

What, no hipster Ariel?

Time to update this comic with "2070 AD" and "the '10s" and "copyright 2016".

rocky_howard: The closest one is the old tattoo one: "it's something meaningful for me",

A. I kind of have a body art fetish. I just have not been able to afford to indulge it as much as I want. I imagine that is a large part of it for many people. They just like it.

B. The one tattoo I have is "For I am the cat, who walks by herself, and all places are alike to me, wrapped around my ankle with the wood cut illustration of Kipling's Cat from the first edition of the book. Its something my father said about me since I was "yea high." So for every douche bag that walks in and picks something off the wall, there is someone that put a lot of work into an image that is realy meaningful.

Tyrone Slothrop: What, no hipster Ariel?

She was in there twice.

You want people to justify something that, by your own admission, "doesn't harm anyone else" to your own sense of what is "reasonable" and think that if people have a lot of ink that there's no way that all of it can be meaningful to them and you're not passing judgment?

Also, victim? You were victimized by people not thinking you were 'cool'? Did they take your lunch money? Burn your house down?

This comes off like you were shot down by the hot goth chick and haven't gotten over it yet.

Hot.

Except for the booger piercings.

I hate booger piercings.

bav: You want people to justify something that, by your own admission, "doesn't harm anyone else" to your own sense of what is "reasonable" and think that if people have a lot of ink that there's no way that all of it can be meaningful to them and you're not passing judgment?

I don't want them to justify anything. They DON'T HAVE to justify anything. It's when they do that it comes off as contrived and cock-punchable.

Of course, there's always a case like KiplingKat872:'s. But for most people is just herd behaviour that they then try to pass off as unique personal statement.

For me it's OK if people want to have tattoos. I don't have a problem with that. Many of my friends have them and if I was an employer I wouldn't discriminate somenone solely on the basis of a tattoo/piercing. That's unrelated to their ability to do the job. And I'm actually an iconoclast/liberal person.

I was just pointing out the irony / hypocrisy of many tattooed/pierced people who qualify untattooed/unpierced people as square/uncool, but then complain when they're qualified by others.

And that's the thing, for most people it's just a fad or something you need to do to be cool.

Having tattoos / piercings is not a symbol of coolness or liberal values.

Also, victim? You were victimized by people not thinking you were 'cool'? Did they take your lunch money? Burn your house down?

Victim has several aceptions, not just the horrible situation one.

Naaah. Although, yes, them goth chicks prefer people with tattoos and piercings.

Dude, seriously, I have yet to run into anyone with tats that uses a lack of them as some sort of "cool factor" gauge. They probably find you uncool because you're a grown man with 1950s sensibilities about body art.

Meethos:

Sure you haven't.

Yup. 50's sensibilities. That's the ticket. Specially when I stated the opposite. But hey, it's better to deflect than to confront.

So now I know what the characters at Disneyland Portland will look like...
