I have always wondered why people call tattoos tats or tatt’s. To tat is to make lace. For centuries that’s what it was. Then in the late 80’s people started to refer to tattoos as one of the two if you can say one of the syllables why can’t people just add the other? It’s easy and not cheesy to say [ta-too]. I don’t make lace man! Thanks for the brief moment to say that…I’m cool call it what you want just know you shouldn’t be referring to your prized art as dusty old lace. just sayin’

People say it because everyone understands it as tattoo and no one knows or gives a fuck that it means lace. also its just a shortened version of the word so i say tat all the time n it really does not bother me at all when people say tat.
Humans in general are just getting more and more lazy. Look at text-speak or 1337-5p33k… the only aim seems to be to get words down to as few letters as possible, regardless of whether or not it’s legible/understandable afterward.
That being said, it’s not a big issue really. Whether someone says Tattoo or Tat, or Britney or Brit.. no difference.

QFT.
i was too lazy to type “quoted for truth” so i just typed QFT. but now i am all out of breath after this explanation i think i will go take a nap now…
You got what I was saying I wasn’t referring to tatt for real it was just a question about all the shorthand text speak stuff on these forums and such and it’s confusing as hell QTF was one of them…and the post was created more out of bordem and wanting to break the ice to get involved with this forum. I introduced myself and even replied to a few mildly harsh threads, but saw a little too much catty sh*t to want to ask what do all these shorthand terms mean? Are we that lazy man damn,ha.
