05/29 Parenting Dilemmas

Quote From: dadathome

Tattoos are simply a way of drawing attention to yourself for the WRONG reason. Just like nose and tongue piercing, purple hair, Goth clothing, etc.  

  

If you are in such desperate need of attention then why not get an education and do something positive in life. The Goth lifestyle is for depressed, losers in life.  

 Sorry but as a beautiful woman I got all the attention I wanted or needed BEFORE I got any body art and now I still get it - good or bad.  What do you think ? That we walk up to people saying LOOK  what I have done - and pull up our shirts or pull our jeans down to show and get attention ?  I didnt do it for attention or NON attention, I did it for one simple reason - " my body, my choice"

 Oh and thanks anyway, but I already am college educated and I already DO good things with my life not to mention working on my next degree and PHD.

So much for myth busters.

We do not get tatted or pierced to draw attention to ourselves.  We really do like the art and the look.  Just like you like the way you style your hair or they type of clothes you wear. 

  

I have a real problem with your statement that we need to do something positive with our lives.  Do you think that everyone that has a tat is a low life bum? 

  

I have over 50 tats and numerous piercings.  I am highly educated and I was in upper management of a major oil company.  My two sons are tatted , hold good jobs, and are  very clean cut looking.  One son served 5 years in the military.  My father had a tat that he got while serving in the Navy.  He retired from the telephone company with 40 year perfect attendance. 

  

The goth look is usually a short lived phase.  Both my sons went through it.  As they got older they matured and realized they needed an acceptable look to be able to earn a living in this world of people like you that make false assumptions of a person's character just by the way  they look. 

  

You need to grow up and quit judging people until you get to know them.  There are a lot of us out there that you might find you really like.
