Regarding the last few posts it actually is a big problem in the UK.

Also moving on from gay to retard, wow, smooth. Having to care for disabled kids this is one of the comments that pisses me off no end, I suppose it’s meant to be amusing?

I have to disagree on the eyebrow piercing scar. I think it’s one of the most obvious scars that can be seen, especially on girls.

As far as I can determine you’ve got yourself hand tattoos without knowing the first thing about them and then want to jump in with a face tattoo… all in the name of sticking two fingers up at the world. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
But then to complain about people staring at them, are you serious? You’ve got a highly visible tattoo and yet are taking offence that people are looking?

Also in terms of it never affecting you with a job… please reconsider this before getting your face done. Even in construction or jobs where customers won’t see you face to face it will make a difference. Unless you are working by yourself, a boss has to take into account how a team would work with you. Facial tattoos give off a certain impression (as you well know and seem to want to make some point with) it doesn’t scream team player.

I have to also say that if someone came in with sleeves and knuckles I’d be far more likely to employ them than someone with face and knuckles or even knuckles alone. Just a psyc thing

yummmm, I must admit the tattoos are just there for me, I haven’t actually looked at them, I’m too busy noticing him 😀

Personally I think that stretched lobes etc look fine as long as they don’t go over the natural size (if that makes any sense!) So as long as they don’t distort the natural shape.
I’m not a fan of facial mods really, it’s the one place I’ve not and will never do anything to, but as others have said, each to their own and no-one should have a say over someone elses body. Fair play to him

I say go for it, just trim it down when you’re showing them off, it doesn’t need to be done all the time.
As to getting it lasered off, it’s pricy and takes several treatments and isn’t guaranteed, it often doesn’t work on thicker hair, so don’t use it as a certainty.

So I had my ribs done today… after sitting for 2 hours he put some numbing stuff on it (mainly curious to see if it would work as I can’t use local or general anaesthetics). It was absolutely fantastic, completely numbed.
I’m still in the bank of not being a fan of numbing, but it was a Godsend in the last of the third hour! The top still wasn’t numbed at this point and I’ve got to go back for the lining to be darkened as 3 hours on the ribs was enough for me!

Must admit that it hurt worse after it had come off although I don’t think it was from the numbing… more like when you have a tattoo started and it hurts, then it fades out. I don’t think it lasted that long (but my sense of time is a bit out of whack!), so I had two lots of numbing. I would happily have sat without the first, but for the last bit it was very nice, it wasn’t all numbed but the bits he was going over several times were.

So had he not mentioned it I wouldn’t have used it, as my opinion is that you should suck it up… but his opinion was that it was there to be used. I put up a fight for a while, but then gave in lol… I was thankful at the time! I’ve no idea what it was, just that it was in a dark blue bottle.

Sorry for your loss.
I’ve got a memorial tat that meant a lot to me, not anyone else. (My shark one in my album) I like the rose idea as they actually mean something to you. There was a tat like this on one of the ‘Ink’ shows a while back. The guy had roses for each family member in different sizes and shapes, ie bud, fully open etc.
As everyone here is saying though, the bottom line is that it has to be yours. It’s your tribute to her, not ours.
