Oh, and “arse” is a much cooler word then “ass”… and my spell check says “colour”, therefore colour must surely be the correct way of spelling it..? 😉
Lmao (yes, that is laugh my ARSE off :p) your friend sounds like me. The piglet part. However I willingly admit that my tattoos fucking kill me each time! I have such a low pain threshhold. But I admit that with shame – I don’t see why someone would brag about it – how is it good to be a wimp about something that barely hurts others? Especially a navel tattoo LOL.
And I totally agree. The word ‘arse’ makes me proud to be British! Arsehole in particular. The accent on the arrrrr gets the point across so nicely, I think! And I will also point out that Americans speak English – so surely the English way of speaking English must be the correct way? :p;)
Nope, we don’t speak “English”, we speak “American”. It’s really similar, just way, way cooler. We have “y’all” and “ain’t”.
It may just be a regional thing, but arse, to me, sounds like one of those replacement words people use when they want to cuss but can’t, like sugar for shit, for fudging for fucking. It’s why “ass” is so much better.
But then again, “fag” mean something completely different here than there, so I guess you got us beat on that score.
As for girls, tattoos, and pain, I got another one for y’all ( 😀 ) .
My sister, the same one with the belly tattoo, got her vagina tattooed. I mean the actual lips and somewhat inside. Supposedly. For obvious reasons, I ain’t never seen the thing, but according to her, our artist, and he boyfriend at the time, the spider webs that come down her thighs and under her skirts continue up onto her lips, and actually has a spider crawling inside of her. I refer to him warmly as “the cootchie spied”.
Thing is, my sister has an auto-immune disease that makes her pretty weak, so whenever she gets ink, someone has to drive her because she’ll only be semi-concious afterwards. SO big brother had to drive her.
Due to the delicate nature of the tattoo, my artist had us come in on the day the shop was closed, and I waited in the lobby as I haven’t a burning desire to see my sister’s crotch. So, I’m laying on the couch reading me a Terry Pratchett novel in the next room when I hear her start moaning. Okay, it hurts, I get that, genital tattoo is like the one legit time I can accept making serious noise about ink.
But it didn’t stop.
It kept getting louder until she had a fricken screaming orgasm.
Aparentally, the vibrations of the tattoo gun….well, you get the idea.
A Subway sandwhich shop (don’t know if y’all have those in the UK) shares a wall with our tattoo parlor, and the guys behind the counter were all giggling when I bought her, our artist, and me a sandwich.
Afterwards, as I more or less carried her ninety-five pound ass out, she told me it didn’t hurt a bit.
She limped like she had the world’s worst jock rot for nearly two months.
Love. Peace. Metallica.
ROFL! Not the thing you want to hear a sibling do… atleast not the thing I want to hear my sibling do. ROFL! And ouch… not the sort of place I’d ever consider having a tattoo… and definately not a spider! Eeeeeeeeek!
Yes, we do have Subways here too. lol! But I have to say, the subs themselves (ie, the bread) is much nicer in the US, then here in the UK. When we lived in the US, we used to go to Subway all the time… here we only go if we’re close to starving and there’s nothing better in sight. That said, I still love their hot chicken sub. Also Burger King is much better in the US, and I used to love that we could get mashed potato at KFC there (here you only get fries).
KH – That is one truly disturbing tale lol.
And only the Brits can truly make the word arse sound offensive – it is a knack we have.

I think you are worrying too much about the ink and the hypocrisy thing.
Because of my personal beliefs when I met my wife I made a solid promise to God that I would stop beating the shit out of ppl – even if they REALLY needed it, and get back into the Jewish community. Not an easy promise to make but I stuck with it for 5 years – trust me takes a lot to have ketchup poured over you and not be bouncin their head off the wall.
Anyhow for months my wife was plagued by a gang that would hang near our street verbally abusing her and telling her to ‘fuck off back home’. I spoke with the rabbis who said that it would be a major sin for me to lash out and I had made a covenant which shouldn’t be broken.
Anyhow one day my wife comes in the hosue with a ripped shirt and tears this gang had tried to grope her and chased her down the street.
So I went out and battered this gang like it was the bad old days, and they owed me money.
Needless to say the community was horrified and has pretty much disowned me because I used excessive violence and broke a promise to God.
So it makes me a hypocrite – but I would do it again because I love my woman and nobody should ever have to live in fear of that type of scum.
If you really love your wife you need to man up and swallow your pride about your ink and get it covered.
I can understand when a family is being manipulative but when it comes down to it what is stronger the love you have for your wife or your self interests?
My wife knows I broke some of my fundamental beliefs, ( I am not proud of what I did) to protect her and I would do it again without a doubt if necessary.
What your wife is asking is a damn small thing to do.
Take Care

Ya know, we’ve collecctively spent WAY too much time with this guy. JESUS DUDE…WEAR A LONG SLEEVED SHIRT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. Seems to me you’re the one making an issue here…not your wife or in-laws.
And as far at the whole pain issue…PUH-LEEZE. I’ve had scar tissue gone over and over and over…and that hurts like HELL. And I have had the back of my neck done TWICE…which ain’t no picnic. Plus, I’ve had a VCH piercing done THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, plus both nipples and my nose…so you’re little comment on how tough you are because you “withstood” a Red Hot Chili Peppers sun tattoo around your navel means absolutely diddly-squat to me.
KH….WHAT A FABULOUS BIG BROTHER…BEING THERE WHILE SHE GOT HER POONAANER DONE…although I’m still trying to figure out the point. (You’re only 25? *l*)
Matthew…Sometimes we have to step outside our beliefs to do what needs to be done.
In regards to the whole “Grandma issue”: Here’s what I think the problem is. From what has been explained to me by my wife and her family, this woman just seems to be one of those traditional, stick-in-the-mud, refuses to roll with the times-type people who unfortunately thinks they’re ALWAYS right and NEVER could possibly be wrong about anything. From what I’ve observed, my wife’s family doesn’t seem to have a whole ‘lotta balls, and I think the reason why they are so terrified of “Grandma” is either because they’ve never seen anyone have enough guts to stand up to “Grandma” or any outsider like me who has had a conflict similar to mine has recognized the fact that she’s so stubborn that she’ll never change and has just given in and said to themselves “She wants me to do WHAT in order to kiss her a**/cater to her request(s)?! HA! Screw that! I’m outta’ here!”
I know that it’s a moot point, but it’s funny whenever I have to sit there and listen to my mother-in-law complain about a verbal insult or incorrect judgement that “Grandma” threw at her the week before, because some of the shit, I KNOW my dad wouldn’t put up with from my mom’s mother, let alone from my wife’s grandma if he were in my shoes.
Who gives a shit if Grandma sees my tats? What’s she gonna do about it? Get upset? F**k her. Let her get upset. Cause ya’ know what? Life is full of upsets, so GROW THE FU** UP AND DEAL, GRANDMA! OH, AND WHILE YOU’RE AT IT, GROW THE F**K UP AND TRY ACCEPTING PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE INSTEAD OF INCORRECTLY PREUDGING THEM BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW A DA** THING ABOUT THEM!
But the problem is that no one, at least in my wife’s family, would EVER EVER think of saying that to Grandma.
So, overall, I think that’s what the problem is with this issue here. They have allowed her to acquire the power and clout that she has over them because no one ever tried to stop her back on the day that she first set out to be the “head honcho” of the family. It sounds like my wife’s parents never even put up a fight back on that first day. They just let Grandma take control and thought to themselves “Just let her set out to do what she has planned and don’t bother getting in her way to stop her”. Why not? What is she going to do? Seriously. What…the…heck…is…she…gonna…do? Yell at you and get pissy or be difficult? So what? Yell right back at the ol’ bat. I’m don’t see any signs posted anywhere that says you can’t. Who says you guys have to sit there and take her brow-beating? It’s not YOUR (my wife’s parents) fault SHE’S (Grandma) stubborn. Because by not standing up to her simply because you’re scared to death of her or because you don’t have the cajones to snap back at her, it’s problems like mine that you eventually run into.
Seriously, I envy you if these are your worst problems in life. Get over it. Families are always full of shit. You’ve just come in on the scene – who are you to tell them how they should have lived their lives? If you weren’t happy with it, you shouldn’t have married in. My blood family is full of similar sort of crap. Power issues, hidden stories, whatever. It goes with the territory. But beneath it all there is respect and love. So I sure as hell hope I don’t end up with a husband like you who has such little respect. You don’t sound like you’re all that ballsy either, aside from the macho pain you went through with your navel tattoo… if you had any balls you’d be saying this shit to your family, not sitting on an anonymous online forum rambling on about it like a teenage boy.
AMEN! I completely agree. Why don’t you just drive on over to Grandma’s house now and stirip naked in front of her and do a little runway walk and turn so she can judge you fully…I mean why just let her judge you based on your tattoos? Give her the entire package to judge. Doubt you’ll do that either. Listen, either speak up to someone who can remedy this matter…which, by the way, is none of us…or SHUT THE FUCK UP.
And you’re truly not the one who should be telling “Grandma” to ‘GROW UP”…don’t you see how immature you’re thinking is? Don’t you see that you want it “your way or no way”. Seriously dude, you want “Grandma” to bend…but you don’t want to. You want your wife and in-laws to bed…but you’re just plain not gonna. Sounds like you’re more of the “stick in the mud to me”.
peachiepoo: Let’s do a little analogy scenario here. Just bear with me here, for point-proving purposes….
Let’s say you’re a grown, 28 year old woman who has always had a head of beautiful long blonde hair. You’ve always gotten it cut and maintained it the way that you have wanted to and no one has ever said a thing about it, because there has never been a problem with it. Then, one day, you start dating a really great guy and things are going well for the first months. Then, one day, after having dated for about 4 months, he tells you “Ya’ know, ya’ really need to do something interesting with that hair. I don’t know if I like it that way. I think you should cut it short so it’s shoulder-length and not down to the middle of your back. And on top of that, I want you to dye it jet black. And I’ll even go grab the phone and make an appointmentl to the salon for you right now”. The guy has no reason for this request. There’s not a thing wrong with your hair. He’s just simply decided that he doesn’t like it and wants you to change the look of it to what he would personally like to see it look like.
My questions:
1. Why on Earth should you have to change your hair-style, this beautiful hair that you’ve had for years, just because he wants you to?
2. Furthermore, what right does he have to go pick up that phone and schedule the appointment for you?
My answers:
1. YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO. PLAIN AND SIMPLE, I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU….YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TO! 5 months before, he didn’t even KNOW YOU. He had never met you in his life. So, why does dating him for the last 4 months give him THAT kind of influence in your life? Kind of the same thing with Grandma. My tattoos have been in my life since 2003. Grandma just entered my life in 2006. I’m sorry, but even going from the ol’ factory worker-type mindset of “Seniority gives you the advantage”, Grandma still loses out, because those tattoos were in my life long before she even was.
2. NONE AT ALL! NOT A SINGLE, SOLITARY BIT! POINT BLANK, IT IS NOT HIS PLACE TO GO DOING THAT! And by complying with him doing that, that’s not “being an adult and showing respect for someone else’s suggestions and ideas”…that’s letting someone control an aspect of your life!
I’m interested to see what your thoughts are, peachiepoo.
Sorry to butt in as I’m not peachiepoo, but I think we’re on the same wavelength anyway:
That’s a ridiculous analogy.
The boyfriend is telling the girlfriend to do something that is irreversible (at least for the foreseeable future).
A closer analogy would be that the boyfriend tells the girlfriend that she should tie her hair up around a family member who disapproves of loose hair. The girlfriend may not particularly like wearing her hair up, but she does so, and she takes it back down as soon as she gets home.
And you know what? That really is not very bad at all.
And the girlfriend does it out of RESPECT and MATURITY.
Your wife is not asking you to have your tattoos REMOVED or CHANGED like the boyfriend in your analogy is.
Use your common sense.
Then grow up.
Jesus fucking christ.
PS. I triple dare you to bring your wife, and heck while you’re at it your Grandma too, online and let them read this thread.
Yeah that’s right, didn’t think so…
Pathetic.

JUST LIKE HAVING TO WEAR A LONG SLEEVED TOP.
Your wife is not asking you to have your tattoos REMOVED or CHANGED like the boyfriend in your analogy is.

Then grow up.
Jesus fucking christ.
Ok, maybe I left something out here, but I was certain I mentioned the fact that my wife’s sister did suggest back to my wife and their parents that maybe it would be easier if I did just look into getting them removed. (Oh, and I would be responsible for paying to have them removed. It’s not like she is suggesting it and would encourage my wife’s family to help with the cost of removal) So, that idea has been suggested on behalf of the family. Yes, it was only thought up by my wife’s sister, but she’s a representative of the family, so same thing kind of. Now, does that change anything or should I “act like an adult, just deal and go get them removed”?
So your sister in law made some half-hearted suggestion about getting them removed once (I know it was nothing more – if she had been on a serious crusade to force you to remove them you would have mentioned this originally, seeing as you’ve been scraping around for any mud to sling at your wife and in-laws for a while) – which presumably you declined and she left alone, (once again, if she hadn’t have left it alone, you would have just mentioned it, so don’t bother bullshitting me) – and you think this makes all of this any different? And no, unless she sent this suggestion to you in a letter marked ‘on behalf of the family’, she suggested this as an individual. Does everything you say come on behalf of your family? You’re clutching at straws and you are so painfully pathetic. You’re so irritating that I want to boycott this thread, but it’s also keeping me mildly amused while I’m here. Can I ask how old you are? If I didn’t know you were married, I would honestly put your age at about 14. But then I guess you can marry any time from the age of 16 in this country at least – so maybe you are a child after all. That would explain a lot.
Oh and I just read your last line. No, you should not get them removed. In your own words, this was one SUGGESTION. Do you do everything somebody suggests? No. You be an adult, and decline. That is a totally different issue to your wife asking you to wear your sleeves down around your Grandma. This – yes, you should be an ADULT about it, and have some respect.
And I’ll just add – this still does match your analogy. Unless your WIFE booked you an appointment to get your tattoos removed. Did she? No.
What are you hoping to achieve by this? You asked for ‘advice’, well you got it. Sorry it wasn’t what you wanted to hear but life isn’t like that. You can’t walk through life like a spoiled little child getting your own way all the time. If you’re waiting for someone to justify this – then okay, wear short sleeves in front of your Grandma. There you go. Is that what you wanted to hear? Are you going to go and do that now? Somehow I think you don’t have the balls for it, otherwise you wouldn’t have needed strangers to tell you it’s okay. This thread is getting absolutely nowhere. If it’s so important to you, just do it. I think it’s safe to say that none of us here give a shit either way. We just think you should have a little more respect for your wife and her family. But you don’t, that’s fine, so go right ahead, and enjoy the shit that’ll come out of it.
I won’t lie. I think you hit the nail on the head. I am honestly shocked that, in this entire thread, ONE person actually sided with me and thought that what my wife’s family is asking is wrong. I won’t lie and say that I wasn’t looking for people to say “F**k Grandma! You just go right ahead and show your tats and not worry about what she says”, but I have to say I’m pretty shocked at the number of people in here who said “Dude…c’mon…is it really that big of a deal to just cover them for the old lady’s sake?”. Absolutely shocked with the number of you who held that mindset.
I know I just feel guilty at the pleasure it gave me to kick their arses from side of the road to the other. 😉
I know you know already man, but you did the right fucking thing. What laid down the end of those tracks was your wife being raped, and you derailed it right good. You SHOULD feel good about it.
I’m an atheist, so maybe you oughta take what I say on this subject with a grain of salt, but I think the big G upstairs understood. And if he didn’t, he ain’t a God of love, but a world class prick, so fuck’im, and the community that shuns you. But, honestly, I do beleive if I’m wrong about him existing, then the big G is a man of love and compassion, so you oughta be cool.
Though speaking of the bad old days, just between you, me, and the fourm…doesn’t a part of you miss them just a little? 😀
Wait, there has to be a point to my stories!?! 😮
The dude was talking about how hardcore he was for his navel tattoo, and I was like “my ninetey pound sister got one like 20X bigger in that area, and got her twat all inked up. Beat that!”.
And, yeah, I’m only 25. Does that surprise you? I got married at 21–it ages you, especially when your wife makes your promise not to drink, smoke, toke up, drop acid, or fight anymore as a condition of the marriage. I’ve broken the first two and the last one a few times, but I do my best to be a responsible adult for her. She needs a man who’ll respect her insane Christian family, go to work, pay the bills, and build a future for us.
I threw most of that in for the ‘dude’s sake. Speaking of which, I didn’t bother reading his most recent posts because I can tell you what they said without reading them:
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAA! YOU TATTOOED FREAKS DIDN’T TELL ME WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR! YOU SUCK! WHAAAAAA!!”
Love. Peace. Metallica.
