Irritating BS your SO does

[ValerieA 350]

breast tatts are ok as it gives the chap something to watch during...instead of the usual footy on telly over the left shoulder - but it shouldn't be a rose as it reminds him of the gardening tasks he has failed to do. A classic plane like the Spitfire would be good with Biggles wearing goggles and a flying scarf

OOOOHHHHHHH If I ever get another one, I am getting one of Snoopy and the Red Baron on my breast! Thanks for the suggestion!

I think my husband and I might never have split if I had a tat of a Spitfire on my breast, but the other one would have to have an Avro Lancaster on the other one. Also, down my spine several cars: Super Minx; Super Snipe; MGB GT; Triumph Spitfire; and maybe a Triumph Dolomite.

TMI about your sex life and fav position, hon!

You're too right, I think I'll get the double breasted Spitfire and Lancaster too. Mine is a plane-FANATIC. Anything that keeps him happy. He might have to deal with just the wings though, I don't have too much breast to have a whole plane.

Hows about two plates of jellow (jelly) - one on each flobalop

Would look great during the charity marathon

Seriously though, they are forever and the person you will be 40 years from now might hate em.

Also, rightly or wrongly, people do stereotype tattoo wearers and assume x y z and they don't go down well (rightly or wrongly ) with many employers and might not go down well with your next spouse.

Bit like smoking - nobody objects to a non-smoker, but many object to a smoker - so not smoking increases one's chance of a date by 300% .

It's just playing the statistics of life and I didn't make the rules but I play by them for maximum advantage.

Nobody thinks worse of a person with no tattoos but some people think worse of a person with tattoos. I play safe and it helps with jobs and meeting the in laws.

I am sure you would say that your present spouse and in laws and employer are fine with it - but believe me when I say that all these things can change as we go through life and we need to position ourselves for the future whatever it may hold.

How many popes or presidents or first ladies or prime ministers have tatts ? They know how prejudice and stereotyping works and they position accordingly.

One of the nicest birds I ever had the pleasure of had a tatt on her shoulder. All the guys assumed she was a 'goer' or 'a good sport' from that and made a bee line for her. So my prejudices such as they are, are not the pont. The point is that the world makes inferences and has stereotypes, so why make life harder than it already is ?

My first wife's brother in law had a big tatt on his forearm and his wife became a very senior person in her profession and paid to have it lasered. It looks awful - like he has been in a fire. Everyone knows what it is or was, so he has double trouble.

Let me know whether an old person has convinced a young person and I will call the Guiness Book of Records

YIKES! I so didn't mean that.

Down my arms then.

As a BP share holder I could have :

'LOVE BP - HATE SHRIMPS' on my neck.

But with my luck, BP would go bust and the oil mutated shrimps would take over the world and wreak their revenge

Um, saywhat, sweetie? I am 41 years old today. I don't think I will be alive in 40 years! I got the tattoo 15 years ago and haven't regretted it once.

I get what you are saying, though. Mine is easily hidden with nylons, and it is unique and small enough that either a) it isn't noticed or b) they think it is cool. I had a senior position, and I just did not draw attention to it. Granted, my boss and I were known as interesting accountants - very unique in Canada!

I have known several interesting accountants in my professional life -- until they start talking about IFRS and then I want to shoot myself in the face.

You know I love you, Val.

I want to shoot myself in the face if I have to even think of IFRS.

And right back atcha!

I kinda get his point though. One of my friends is literally addicted to piercings and tattoos, among which she has her ex-boyfriend's star-sign, another dedicated to another ex-boyfriend's suicide, and an entire upper arm sleeve of clouds (dedicated to her new found love of sky-diving... which incidentally, happens to be what her new boyfriend does). I sense a pattern brewing.

41 is incredibly young - my son is 41 on 3rd January next and he needs bringing up again.

Accountants have a bummer rap than tatt wearers - in fact we are incredibly exciting people !

Stands to reason - if you are an astronaut, all you want to do is veg out when you are not working.

Accountants go wild when they are off duty ! They are scarier than Keith Richards (who is much older than me)

I suppose an ankle one is ok coz he can't see it when your knees become his ear muffs - ooo I am naughty

Yeah, there is a limit to what is acceptable, and like saywhat said, you have to think about future opportunities. How does she explain those tats dedicated to previous boyfriends to her current boyfriend?

Why yes, you are.

Yeah, I am in about my 5th childhood. It's awesome!

And accountants when they drink - which was quite often, for my boss and I, back in the day...well, only the IT people could keep up with us. The salespeople were envious.

And yes, yes you are. Keep it up!
