I think Bruiser joined a gang

I would like to think my tattoos are nice. Since I have them does that mean
I'm bad/evil? Would people in Oklahoma even speak to me if they new I
had ink?

Oh, who cares. It's all so silly. I'm not even sure the *reason* for the
ban...I wonder now if it's a "your-body-is-a-temple" Bible belt issue, or a
health issue..people here just go to Wichita Falls or Dallas to get them
anyway. There are *plenty* of people with tatoos here. Most prevalent are the
WWII vets, on which I think tatoos are very cool.

One a very stylized "crown of thorns" kinda thing
around his arm and an extremely sexy sun-like motif in the small of his
back. I just wanted to lick it!!! YUM!

Down, boy!!!!
But hey, I relate. We had the house roofed last summer and my roof was *full*
of youngish hunks, sans shirts, with and without tatoos. I found many reasons
to walk outside that day. Koo-koo-ka-choo Mrs. Robinson.

ROFL!! Okay, Sherry, I can relate! And much more attractive than Dustin
Hoffman on his best day by the pool

Well, whatever you're a doctor of, I think that *was* indeed worth some sort
of celebration.
To each his own.

Just a guess (I'm not even near OK and would have no way of knowing what
their thinking was) but "tattoo parlors" - they're on every block around my
area - here also do piercings;
if sanitary measures are not observed (I assume similar to "sharps" protocol
in hospitals)
some really bada** diseases *could* be spread to patrons; i.e. hepatitis of
all types, hiv,
basically blood-borne stuff. Perhaps OK just didn't want to deal with the
licensing, follow-up policeing, etc. involved in what would just appear to
be a harmless if individual decorative process facility. My best guess.
Something else currently "under the gun" in my area, from which people are
actually *dying*
frequently, is "doctors' office" plastic surgery, everything from
liposuction (!) to lip-plumping to (most popular) boob jobs. If you're
considering plastic work, have it done in a hospital, where live-saving
equipment and trained personnel are at hand in an instant. That's the
problem with many "office" procedures all the way from here to Miami and
vicinity.

Some tattoo parlors can be bad, but most follow health codes. Needles are
new, never used. The ink is in little disposable cups and tossed once they
are done with you. The artists wear gloves just like they do in the
hosptial. There is some blood, but nothing major. I've got the belly
button pierced (only thing other than my ears that I will ever pierce), not
even a drop of blood. In fact, compared to the tattoos the bb was a walk in
the park. Not sure if other piercings bleed, but I'm not going to find out.
I'm still trying to figure out the tongue piercing - ok, I get tears in my
eyes if I accidentally bite my tongue, I can only imagine how bad if I had a
hole poked through it - no thanks! Call me a wuss.....

I'm not a tattoo fan myself, but will concede I know of one that had
its good points. My father [Vietnam-era Navy veteran] had his blood
type on one shoulder. :-)

I haven't done a toungue peircing (and never will!) but have had a few
friends get it done. They say its not that bad, and it heals *very* quickly.
They do like the way the tongue peircing enhances the sensation of some,
err, adult activities, but they all got sick of the chipped teeth and they
no longer wear their tongue jewellry.

I saw one done on Mythbusters, and it didn't seem to bleed much, but
the piercee decided not to keep it [he apparently really didn't care
for a relatively heavy metal object through the tongue].
