Tattoo You

batmagadanleadoff Jul 26 2013 09:48 AM

Sometimes I think about getting a tattoo. I'd probably go for a pint glass of frothy beer with a Mets logo on it. Good idea for a thread. What tattoo would you get if you could later remove it without effort, pain or expense? Especially if you've never had one before? Assume that your tattoo artist is like the Leonardo Da Vinci/Pablo Picasso of tattooing and that any one of your ideas could be transferred to your skin in ink. Here's some inspiration:

Ceetar Jul 26 2013 09:54 AM Re: Tattoo You

If I could remove it with no fuss? I'd get Samuel L Jackson's face on my back so that he's staring down everyone behind me while I'm at the beach.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2013 01:41 PM Re: Tattoo You

The cover of the The Missing Chums: The Hardy Boys Mystery #4 would make a nice temporary statement if I had to get all inky and it could be removed with little fuss. I mean, it's hard to beat Mr. Met, but he's been done.

You could die while wearing a temp tat, and couldn't tell ayone it wasn't real. I've wondered why ugly people would think a tat would make them look better. Then I realized that is the answer to that question. Later

batmagadanleadoff Jul 28 2013 07:05 PM Re: Tattoo You

What a time-killer. I could post these all day. I don't get the Unitas tat. Is that what the kids are doing these days -- throwing footballs into their girlfriends' behinds? Another set, including a tattoo of someone you'd probably think would be one of the unlikeliest Mets to be made a subject of one.

You know there is nothing in the Torah about Jews getting tattoos and losing their 'eligibility' for Jewish cemetery burying. The belief is that that thinking started right after WWII as a backlash against the number tattoos that the Nazi's affixed to the those in the camps. Anyhoo - I hate the whole tattoo culture. Don't have one, never wanted one. Think they look incredibly low class. That is a refelection of the time in which I came of age though and obviously there are very many people out there who do not share my view. When I was in college though, there was one fraternity whose members would get the fraternity letters tattooed on their ankle once they were initiated. Had my house had that tradition, I absolutely would have done it. Regretted it 30 years later? Maybe. And sports-team themed tattoos? Ridiculous. Essentially you are getting a corporate logo tattooed on yourself. Why oh why would you do that? I blame Dennis Rodman for starting this whole thing. He was the first main stream 'celebrity' to really bring tattoos to the attention of everybody. Other pro athletes followed and BAM! Before we knew it, the shit was everywhere.

Vic Sage Jul 29 2013 11:10 AM Re: Tattoo You

What tattoo would you get if you could later remove it without effort, pain or expense? But is it also painless to GET the tattoo? You haven't said. If its as painful to get as any other tattoo, then I'm out. But if it's also as painless to get as it is to get rid of, then I would consider it. OK, I've considered it. No. As Soupy said, I'm not interested in wearing a corporate logo, or otherwise engaging in the primitive, clannish ritual scarring this process denotes, or otherwise participating in or endorsing the sub-cultures that practice it. I'm not judging, mind you. Your mileage may, and probably does, vary and that's totally fine by me. I'm just talking about what I'm comfortable with on my flesh and why. But if i had to paint an image on my body or have them shoot my dog, I would go with Mettle the mule. And if the Picasso doing the tattoo painting was a pretty girl, I'd have it put on the end of my penis. That way, at certain times, Mettle would transform from diminutive mule into an Arabian Stallion.

Which brings us back to the question I asked in the other tattoo thread -- this trend towards more tattoos, a wider variety of people getting tattoos, the greater preponderance and overt display of tattoos is going to end at some point ... right??? Or maybe it doesn't and my record of incorrectly predicting every popular trend ever (yeah right, KISS and Aerosmith will make come-backs!) continues.

Well, I think Sports transcends 'corporate branding'. You don't see active forums dedicated to the way Pepsi manages it's bullpen of overtime workers do you? You read about young'uns (apparently this is one of those things that I fall into the previous generation versus the newer one) being more into corporate loyalty these days. I'm not sure if I necessarily buy that, but there does seem to be some identifying yourself with the products and companies you support and use. But it's not really that new either, how many people out there only go out in public while carrying a handbag that's representing one company? who only wear Polo shirts? Who wear jeans every day that say LEVI on the back? Tattoos are more permanent, but the corporate identity isn't really. Of course, you cross into really trashy ones. I'm sure there are people out there with Budweiser tattoos supporting their local Belgium conglomerate. Choosing to get a tattoo and which one are probably one of those 'big decisions' you should put a little thought into. It's potentially more damaging than who you lose your virginity too (not that most people put much thought into that either. Maybe the population as a whole should use their brains a little more in general..)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 29 2013 12:08 PM Re: Tattoo You

I'm sort of put off by the whole narcissistic spectacle of it, and at the same time pity that so many people are making a decision in their early 20s that will be with them forever. I can barely imagine anything less appealing than to wear the same clothes I wore 20 years ago, never mind the fact I couldn't possibly change out of them. I also am not comfortable with this growing sentiment among the tattooed that they are somehow worthy of the same consideration you might otherwise provide to actual "colored people" when really all they share is an affinity for second-rate artists and too much disposable income. I am serious, there are support groups now of "tattooed Moms" in my neighborhood now. But sure, to each their own.

themetfairy Jul 29 2013 12:13 PM Re: Tattoo You

It largely depends on what they are and why you have them. One of mine is the Weight Watchers logo. I call it my reward and my reminder - reward for hitting goal weight, and reminder not to pull a Kirstie Alley. Keeping the weight off requires constant mind games, and four years later I still need all the help that I can get. One of mine is 26.2 on my ankle. I will never get tired of that one.

I was an adult when I got these (my first one was right before I turned 40.

Fman99 Jul 30 2013 08:17 AM Re: Tattoo You

I've never been against the idea of one. I could just never think of anything so beloved that I'd feel the need to ink my body with it. I think, if you're getting a tattoo then you'd obviously want to get the coolest picture ever. Which, as everyone knows, would be a naked lady riding a unicorn and shooting arrows from a bow at tiny cheeseburgers.

themetfairy Jul 30 2013 08:33 AM Re: Tattoo You

One of the reasons I wanted to get my first tattoo had to do with a friend of mine. She's a dentist and on the Long Island Emergency Team. After spending most of the summer of 1996 helping to identify victims of Flight 800 she got her navel pierced, because she said that after everything she had been through she wanted there to be something easily identifiable about her body. Well, I had MK in 1996, and did not have the body for a navel piercing at that time. Thus, a small tattoo made more sense to me. Again, this is not for everyone. It's a permanent decision, and something you have for the rest of your life. And no, making the choice to get a tattoo does not and should not make one a minority (I still don't understand that mindset). As for FK's question, I think that tattoos are here to stay, but I think the pendulum will swing back to smaller amounts of ink. I'd like to think that over time sleeves will become a thing of the past.

Centerfield Jul 30 2013 09:01 AM Re: Tattoo You

I fall somewhere between Fman and metfairy. I am not against the idea of getting a tattoo. In fact, if you get the right one, I think it's pretty cool. I know a guy who had his kids initials tattooed onto his forearm in a pretty cool looking font. Those who served in the armed forces and have a tattoo to commemorate that is pretty cool too. I'm sure I've seen other good ones, but they escape me at the moment. If you have something that means that much to you, and you can symbolize it in an image, that's great. That little image can be a powerful thing for a person. On the flip side, I've seen some really bad ones. Lately my kids have been into waterslides, and if you see what large tattoos look like on aging parents, it will make you really think twice. The tribal tattoo may look great when you are jack and in your twenties. When you are getting soft in your forties and fifties, well, you know. Personally, I would get one in a heartbeat, but I've felt that it would have to be something that has a strong, lifelong emotional attachment, and something that could be reduced to an image that I can live with. For those that were around for Miranda, that was the closest I came to a tattoo, but I couldn't think of any image (or font) that did her or me justice. So I remain ink-free. Professional sports teams logos seem like a pretty dumb idea to me. I consider myself a big fan, but the Mets are, at best, a diversion from real life. I can't imagine getting a Mets-themed tattoo. But for others, this may differ. For instance, if Greg, who is a big fan and also makes a living writing about the team, were to get a Mets-related tattoo. That would make sense in my book. Perhaps the dumbest tattoo I've ever seen is a Yankee fan who tattooed "27 Rings" after their last championship. It was almost enough to make me root for the MFY's to win again. On Edit: Correction, that was the dumbest tattoo I had ever seen before the lady with the cartoon-dog-boobs earlier in this thread.

On another note, the conversation that this thread has turned into is ironic to me, because when I searched the web for interesting tattoo images to post here, I came across an article on tattoos in which the author's premise was that tattoos are now so commonplace that today's owners of body ink can no longer be said to represent society's alienated rebels, as they once did. The author's money line, paraphrased here, is that today, even your middle-aged librarian mom has a tattoo.

If it was a temp I would have to go for something Mets and I probably would design something very singular for myself. It would have to be like nothing we've ever seen, or it would not be worth it. Looks like most everything Mets has been covered one way or the other. I certainly love some of the artwork done on these tatts. Awesome detail & great composition.

themetfairy Aug 10 2013 07:17 AM Re: Tattoo You

A friend of mine blogged this. I asked her whether I could share it with some friends, and she agreed. Tattoos. Some people love them, some people hate them, some people like them but would never get one, some people want one but haven't taken that leap yet. I love them. I love looking at other people's permanent selection or artwork, I love that they can be a conversation starter, I love trying to figure out what a person's tattoo may mean to them, and I love that it's a way to capture a time period, experience, or serve as a daily reminder. I love mine. All of them. Well, I may not LOVE the first one I got when I was 18 but I do appreciate that it represents a time that seems so long ago. I get them for me. I don't get them for you or anyone else. If you happen to like what I get, appreciate them, be I inspired by them, that's great...but it's not why they're there for. Each tattoo symbolizes something for me...it would be like getting crafty with a photo album, buying a piece of jewelry, or having a special playlist. Mine just happen to be with me all the time. The question has come up on numerous occasions, "What about when you're like 80 years old." Well, if I live that old, I can guarantee that my tattoos will serve as my memory book. I will think about the times I got each tattoo and take time to reflect on those different moments in my life. The marathons I've run, the marathon I trained for but Super Storm Sandy had other plans, the guidance I needed, the mindset I like to try to maintain, the love of my life, the guidance my family needs, all of it. I would Never offer up my opinion (without being asked) about someone's beliefs, interests, lifestyle, etc. Never. That's not to say that I don't have opinions - but who the hell am I to judge you? I accept that each of us is unique. I don't eat beef/pork - you do? That's fine. I'm not going to push my non meat consumption on you. You love snow? I hate it - you go ahead and enjoy it while I sit here enjoying a cup of tea and bitching about how cold it is. You're religious? Go ahead - I am not. And that is just perfectly fine. I am fine with explaining the different tattoos I have and what they represent. I'm not one to get pissed off by people asking what they mean. As long as that's what you're really asking for.
