Popular Post thailandsgreat Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) I am sure there are many threads on the purpose of tatoos that I, as an uncool person, ought to read. But one question sticks out to me. If you walk for example soi Buhakao in Pattaya you see many heavily tatooed girls. Does this really improve their ability to work in bars? Could the tatoos not be a burden when they e.g. finally marry and return to their home village? So why do they get massively tatooed?

I know or have met many girls who regret their tattoos years later. The best thing to say to a person thinking of getting a tattoo is ask them if they would wear the same dress/shirt for the rest of their lives. They fade, the skin sags and gets wrinkled, and all they are left with is a stain. Edited June 28, 2023 by JensenZ 7 1 2 3 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sandboxer Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) I like a chick/ho with nice ink, but they look horrible once the ink fades/spreads with time, especially sak yant (poke method) tats. As for my own (12)......some of them are personal/meaningful, some just designs I like, and there's one small sized one I regret. I'm a pretty big boned guy, face like a Mexican cartel thug, socially more of a lone wolf and don't like the majority of people I meet so the tats have an added unintended function of often acting as a force field that repels most. I couldn't hurt a fly and am (now) a total pacifist, but I honestly don't mind the "bad guy" image it projects.

Popular Post NoDisplayName Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 It's a form of advertising. Frisky falangs can tell their mates about the awesome chick that could do everything and more. Forget her name, they all sound alike, but she was at ___ bar and had this ____tattoo on her ____. You can't miss her! Similar with the tramp stamps on the rear. So XXX movie producers can tell the "actresses" apart. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring specifically to females who usually are more concerned about skin and their appearance than most men. You might want to study up on how much females spend on skincare, makeup and surgery. Instead of asking questions, figure out the answers for yourself.

JonnyF Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I wouldn't overthink it, they certainly don't. I think they do it because everyone else in that environment does it. It's a bit of short term excitement getting it done as well. Quite a few get them on the lower stomach to cover the stretch marks after child birth as well. No great thought goes into it and some of the tattoos are truly awful. I know one really pretty girl in her late 30's who is covered in them (both forearms, full back piece) and she openly said to me that she hates them and wishes she didn't have them. She said she's really embarrassed when her young niece asks what they are and has to try to cover them when she visits family. Personally I don't mind them and rarely give it a second thought but I do think it's a shame sometimes when you see a beautiful girl with perfect, smooth skin and a huge blob of badly done ink, especially when it's a skull or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fashionable and they think it looks good, simple as that. Its more socially accepted than ever. Its not just hookers that have them, many 'normal' thai women under 30 will have one somewhere. Most current sports stars / musicians are covered in tatts I myself never did, but have thought about it before, and have nothing against it, but never pulled the trigger. Now I guess I'll just wait for the 'clean' look to come back into fashion For me, the girls with full back tatts, sleeves, tatts between or on their tits look terrible, but, as they say; up to you Oh, and the ubiquitous 'barcode' sak yant! scan her at the checkout on the way out of the bar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stocky Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 My great uncle, who was in the navy during the first world war, had tattoos on his arms, as did my uncle, who was a merchant seaman during the second world war. The purpose of those tattoos was to help identify their corpse if they got killed. The current fashion for getting inked is largely that, a fashion, and whilst some are pleasing to look at, most are pretty ugly and ill-considered. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hundreds of years ago, low-ranking soldiers did not wear trousers or shirts. The tattoos on the legs were to make them feel less undressed (read it somewhere many years ago). Women have tattoos it seems because they like them. I have explained to an educated friend that tattoos above the neck at interviews may not go down well. Ignored me because she likes it and wants to feel good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
