I think Bruiser joined a gang

Well, that's your opinion. Seems dumb that a state could police that. In
that case, they should make mullets illegal too!

Now there's a law I could support whole-heartedly!

Me too!

At present, I just don't think tatoos are very attractive on women
unless on extremities. On women, it just reminds me of (unfair, unfair,
true, I admit) prison inmates.

But not on men?

A woman I met years ago had a beautiful tattoo of Chinese characters,
in vivid, rainbow colors, encircling her neck like a long necklace (it
dipped a few inches below her collarbone). I don't remember what the
characters said, this was quite a while ago.

Another woman I saw working in a grocery store had a tat of a hawk or
other wide-winged raptor type bird on her forearm. It was lovely.

I don't like the look of someone with a large number of tattoos, like
they're covered with ink. I know a lot of people find that fascinating
and artful. There's a whole culture of entire-body tattooing in Japan,
that takes years and years to complete. It's part of belonging to some
sort of society, which I'm sure someone on this ng knows about and can
enlighten us about (I read about this a while ago and can't remember
anything except the tattoos). The art is very detailed and beautiful,
but I still don't like the look of skin that's entirely covered with it.

While I am far from expert on things Japanese (if I am wrong maybe
Takayuki will correct me) but it sounds like the society you're
thinking of is Yakuza - Japanese gangsters. See prison inmate
reference above. :-P

"Yowie" had some very interesting
things to say about I think Bruiser joined a gangLONG:

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 was at a mall recently and saw a place advertising vibrating tongue
studs. ;-)

Oh, right - I was thinking it was some sort of gangster or underworld
thing, but wasn't sure. A newspaper did a whole story (with great photos)
on it recently.

My statement re "prison inmates" reference is based solely on tv-watching,
where the females almost always sport tattoos here and there. I dunno
anything about tattood gangsters; local ones are pretty much into expensive
suits, rides, lawyers, and jewelry, but if they have tattoos you can't see
'em.

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.

Not just "Bible Belt". For many people tatoos aren't exactly kosher.

Sorry, there are fewer pictures of me than there are of Stinky. But I
have a valkyrie on my arm, and a little winged lion on my leg just
above my ankle.

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.

Sherry, I have a couple JPEGs on that topic I think you'd appreciate.
May I send them to you?
