remember GG, Japan is a male-chauvinist society; therefore none of the women's opinions on SJ are valid :p Only ours

I was just trying to maybe get some of those funny knee-jerk responses from some of the tattooed-likes that there may be on here - sensitive bunch they usually turn out to be about their artwork behind all that macho 'hey look I have a tattoo' and 'it's who I am' stuff.

You're stirring up a hornets nest rach

Oh it's for my mum/kids.
It represents a certain time of my life.
It's private, just for me (but I show it off whenever I can).
Blah blah blah.
Hilarious.
Stupid!

Lets all stare at the freaks! Lets poke and make fun of them from our computer screens!
You never struck me as a troll, Rach. Why are you starting now?

If they have that lot on their face, they are surely inviting us to stare. Is that not the point?

And of course we will laugh. Why not? They have publicly invited us and they look very silly!

So, Mamabear, you like the type of bloke who'll leave scratches down your back?

Back-on-topic: traditional tats like those the Maori use are good, similar ones on white-fellas look dumb.

I'm not a troll. Like I said, perhaps a bit of mischeivous fun. As gg said, are people who do this not inviting us to look?

And I suppose that response is just the kind I was talking about in my earlier post

I have enough scars etc on my body (from accidents and operations) that I do not need to inflict such "art" on it.

Seems to me to be a bit like the graffiti people. They do it for attention, then make like they don't want people to know who did it by hiding behind a "tag".

Serious insecurities - look at me but don't look at me.

Now, now ... I have admitted to my Wolverine fetish - that's about enough for right now don'tcha think? However the attraction is HJ as Wolverine, not HJ himself (nice guy, but as himself meh..kinda attractive, but not drop to you knee's "how may I be of service" attractive). Maybe you are right...



Yes yes yes! It is a bit like that isn't it! I am not talking your typical tricep tat, but this kind of body altering - extreme tattooing, extreme piercing and bizarre horn like implants under the skin - now that screams look at me, but the rhetoric is don't....quite bizarre.

I laugh in the silly face of these ridiculous people*.
Long may they provide us with such free entertainment!



* on my computer screen.

Geeez, those are insane.

Those hardcore skinheads man, nasty bastages eh.

It is a sign of intelligence! There must be some really deep meaning (beyond us mere normal folk) to having permenant poached eggs on your head.

Here's another knucklehead for (most of) us to have a good laugh at

Looks like he is regretting it already.

It's Friday, so lets have another chuckle at the freaks!



Here's some more. Way cool.

Their parents must be so proud of them

I wish I was as cool.

Just being a drummer ain't enough.

This one's good too
