gravion Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 hello folks, females with tattoes on their back, is it some sort of gang related stuff or what???? i have seen couple of young uns with it rolling. what is going on??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I think that it has more to do with both fashion and superstition. They think that it gives then protection or some such. I do not mind hot young ladies who desire to be a sex objects putting them on, but I feel sorry for them when they start aging and the tattoos become just another strike against them in the game of life.

gravion Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 really? in my opinion maybe its some sort of gang stuff. it's not one of those buddha stuff tatto, just some DRAGON tattoo on their back!!!! lol why would some lady get a DRAGON???? lol ms.lil dragoooooooon im just interested in the gang culture, someone told me those local van taxis (LOT TU) and motorsai taxis are operated by gangs... as well as for those pirated cds, not sure about fashion brands. if they are operated by gangs, why would they need to work 2gether for the money? i mean they aren't purchasing guns or something....

nidge Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Why does it have to be gang related? My wife has 2 tattoos on her back and she is planning to have a large pair of angel wings done too. She is most certainly not in a gang, mixed in with taxi drivers or superstitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 A dragon tattoo symbolizes many different things depending on the culture. For the most part it is a symbol of power, courage, strength, or strong will. I suspect most done now are not based on the above but fashion. Some maybe just mimicking super stars which is not unusual. Wonder which gang Angelina belongs to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Are they on these ladies' lower backs, by any chance? Then it's probably not a gang thing..... just the classic "tramp stamp." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMA_FARANG Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nothing to do with gang stuff or anything like that...at least for most young women with tattoos. It is a just a "cool" thing and considered fashionable (at least in the U.S.). Personally, for me if I see a otherwise attractive young woman with a tattoo, it is an absolute turn-off. But since I'm 65 now, I'm fully aware that the average 20 something young woman doesn't really give a sh-t about my opinion on how she looks anyhow. Even in Thailand.

Metapod Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I know a uni educated chick with a full back piece. I'd say it was a fashion thing. She is a bit artsy/hispter ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 In Thailand: Society may view a Tatoo on a girl as the following: Amongst the poor: It's a 'tramp stamp' Amongst the wealthier: Its a sign of 'quirkyness and independence' What I see in Thailand: Most of Women sporting tatoos are hookers, ex hookers, or those who hang around that scene.... However, I've also seen one or two on some wealthier more 'Westernised' independent Thai women... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
473geo Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Times change, enjoy the view. As for the comment regarding problems in later life, it would appear there will be many people carrying body art, so there will be few clean canvasses to unload criticism and highlight the fact they no longer move with the times.......

Debothai Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) It is a fashion statement...and also a kind of statement of 'availability' though not by all....Personally i dislike tatooes, but they are definitely very popular...The beauty of the body of a woman, especailly an Asian woman, does not need a tattoo to augment it...In fact, a tattoo diminishes this natural beauty. However, many many disagree with this. Edited May 29, 2011 by Debothai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainFantastic Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder That truly is a thing of beauty. But...ouch. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I find it attractive. The image of the girl is more appealing than it would be were the tattoo not a part of it, in my opinion. A tattoo would no more make someone more or less attractive to me than would, say, their skin colour (i.e. not at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find tattoos a big turn on- especially because a girl open enough to have a tattoo is normally more open to (my albeit Mr Bean- like) sexual advances.

IanForbes Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I follow Ulysses thoughts on this topic. Frankly, I don't like big tatoos, but little ones don't take away from a woman's natural beauty. I highly doubt if they have anything to do with gangs, unless there is a specific tatoo that identifies a certain gang. I always get a laugh out of this one... and the subtle humour of this one... But this one is going a bit far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikis Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 tattoos are just tattoos and everybody gets them done for different reasons. as far as i know, they usually have some personal meanings, memories or something similar. even the ones with bar girls. my friend, a lady(not thai) has knuckle tattoos saying "bukowski". and it has nothing do with gangs or other criminal activity. she just loves tattoos and bukowski. i have a lot of tattoos and i will take more, just because i like them and i like it as an art form also. it's not the same as drawing or painting. i don't mind if my girlfriend has tattoos or not, it's everybodys personal thing. but i would say that i prefer whole back piece over a tramp stamp anyway. np.wiz khalifa - ink my whole body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 A troll post and responses to it have been removed based on the following. 7) Not to post slurs or degrading comments directed towards any group on the basis of race, nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation. 8) Not to post extremely negative views of Thailand or derogatory comments directed towards all Thais.

Travel2003 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Look at Thai television, and especially the music channels. Seems to become more popular among the female artists to get a tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
