My favorites are women who get tatted up, and all I'm thinking is, "Wow - what a mess you're going to look like post menopause, especially when you begin to wrinkle and the ink diffuses." Well, pair up with an equally tatted guy and they can age like lizards which have been baked on a rock in the desert.I noticed many young Western women last week in Bangkok, adorned with tattoos. I wonder if they will regret them later in life.

January 16Jan 16 9 hours ago, Gottfrid said:Sure, but then just maybe, the OP should be more into it and give more meat on the replies. What is a study to you, if the one behind it, just shut everyone down? It could have been interesting, with supportive information. Like how many tattoos do you have, where are they placed and what motive do they have. Was it something that made you choose the motive. Did you get your tattoos when you where sober or was it a decision made by an alcohol fueled mind. Do you socialize with people who have or don´t have tattoos? Do you have or would you rather choose a partner with tattoos or not, and does it really matter? Are you happy with your tattoos? Do you plan to add more tattoos in the future?There you have your social study. This topic is just created by a person who has a negative view on tattoos and only wish to look down on the ones who have.Good answer

January 16Jan 16 Once seen as a sign of low-class individuals, tattoos now show a reverse prole drift, with people from higher classes getting tacky tattoos.

There are indeed differences in the horizontal length, I think I never noticed or forgot because the width is identical and I just shove bills in my wallet and mostly pay with plastic now, but still, not very observant.

You did, and continue to do like most here, when it comes time to pay the bill. and just hand your wallet to your Thai missus. That's why you have no idea about it.

January 17Jan 17 To each his own, but also one cannot help but have an opinion. As disconcerting as this might be, I probably find myself in agreement with harris on this topic. To me, tattoos scream “sheeple”. Tatts were around for thousands of years, but only when they became a fad did the sheeple all jump on board.Personally, I find tattoos butt ugly….on anyone. They are noisy. Nobody looks better with one, and the rationale that “it has special meaning” is bizarre. Deface one’s body to make a memory? The brain has plenty of circuits to build and hold memories, and if the mind ever goes, the tatt-wearer is likely also to forget why the heck he or she got the tatt. I've heard people say their back tatts have "special meaning". What? They can't even see the thing that has "special meaning".The worst are fresh ones on fat flabby old men. I cannot help but feel those guys think the warrior tatts make them a babe magnet. They just look silly, similar to a guy with a wrinkled face who dyes what hair he has left Commie Black.The fad does seem to be dying, and not before time. There is plenty of research now linking tatts to autoimmune disorders like Lupus, and colored tatts linked to various cancers. I don’t know who could ever have thought that having ink injected into one’s skin could NOT be harmful. It’s a foreign substance and the body is designed to attack it. It gets moved into the lymphatic system and ends up in lymph nodes, where it can cause reactions and mutations. Is following a fad worth Lupus or cancer?Again, humans are free to do whatever they want to their bodies, but humans also cannot help having opinions. If we look at something and find it unpleasant or ugly, we don't have to act on that opinion, but at the same time we cannot deny what we feel.

If I hated someone as much as you hate me I'd put them on ignore. Too bad you need to read my topics to brighten up your miserable days.I don´t hate anyone. Especially not a person like you, that I´ve never met. I don't know if you are fun to be around or hang out with, and therefore I can´t feel any hate or like you as a person. My days are definitely not miserable. I have a great life, a great family and all I need around me. Also, why would you think that I am stuck in Isaan? I have made a choice to create my life here. If you go to a place you like or settle down in an area that is nice to you, do you consider yourself stuck. In that case I feel very sorry for you.

You are measuring IQ level based on how many slang words a person knows. After that you are calling other people dumb and stupid. Please, reconsider as you are digging a really deep hole right now.

It's true those ailments are on the rise… and I don't think tattoo ink is the culprit.

There are different types and a good tattoo artist will not use toxic ingredients. People seeking tatts should discuss this with their artist and it is good that awareness is raised on the issue.7 minutes ago, Hummin said:A good sign of insecurity and sheep mentality!But thats how it is, humans is strange animalsI totally get people's aversion to tattoos, and agree (bearing in mind I have several myself which I did between 10-20 years ago) that in the 2020s they have become a symbol of conformity and herd mentality to the point where the only people sticking out in a group (and therefore those showing independence of mind) are the untattooed ones, a total inversion of what it was back in the 2000s.

Well I was only 17, but had started skydiving, so it was important to me to have one personal one, and managed to hide for a year or so. Today, Im just happy I didn’t take more of them.

And back in those days, some inks were definitely problematic.
