Example of the Ice-Maiden's tattoos.

Pretty cool, but she’s going to regret it when she’s 2500 years old and all saggy.

[SIDENET]

I’ve tried, but I just don’t dig chicks with tattoos.

[roylene]

Nice tats, who’s the artist?

[shibumi]

Ping-Ding-a-Ling!

[BerryDingle]

Does she have a tramp stamp?

[rawcatslyentist]

The middle one kinda looks like a capricorn leaping or back flipping over a milkyway dragon/salamander.

The lower one looks to be unfinished, or the dismembered remains of the goat after the dragon caught it.

[DISCO]

Slick Wiilie will probably want to hit on her.

I guess those are “tribal tattoos”.
I got “old school” style tattoo last month on my arm.
I picked a font (Raphael) I liked for “Deborah” (my daughter).
Then I searched the web and found the rose I liked in the hybrid colors of red/yellow for love/joy, and a Queen Bee with a crown because Deborah in ancient Hebrew means wasp or bee. Under in flowing letters it says “be happy or I will make you happy”.

My wife says it reads “Be happy or I will make you nappy” but that is not true! If anything the “h” in Deborah is a tiny tick slanted but I told the tattoo artist (who is young) that I got a weird arm and we laughed about it.

Next year I want to get a full back tattoo. That is going to be fun to design. Something patriotic.

[Berlin_Freeper]

I got out of bed, moved from the iPad3 to the desktop... had to happen sooner or later.

Deborah :)

Whenever I see tattoos I’m reminded of the German socialist death camps and lampshades. But then I’m from the old school where we were taught about such things.

[Salamander]

They look vaguely Pictish.

[Salamander]

I’ve tried to dig guys who don’t dig chicks with tattoos but I just can’t.

[Salamander]

That’s the most beautiful paternal threat I’ve ever seen...:)

[shibumi]

Of course they are.

They depictish a tiger.

[Salamander]

Ugh.

[and damn my eyes if I see any freaking tiger...a horse and some spotted amphibian thing, yeah]

[shibumi]

Spotted amphibian?

Like maybe a ~~~sal-a-man-der```?

Maybe she’s like your great great great great great great great great great great great great great GrandMander.

Deborah

[Berlin_Freeper]

Hehe Yea!
Thank You :)

[prisoner6]

Stare into them....they MOVE...they tell the stories of sinners tortured souls.

[Blado]

Bad artist. From the nose down she looks like Abe Lincoln. Fail.

[Does so]

Of course they are. They depictish a tiger.

You can tell by the spots...;)

[Salamander]

The proto-Celts came from that area so maybe she is.

;D

[Salamander]

She’s absolutely adorable.

[lock her in the house until she’s 30]

;D

[Salamander]

I...I see lions...eating...*something* on the veldt!

Aaaaaaugh!!!!!!

[miss marmelstein]

When I was a kid, Jews and Catholics were not allowed to get tattoos. I think the trend is hideous.

[piasa]

Apparently Natalia hasn’t seen Maori or Caddo tattoo designs

[prisoner6]

;-)

[piasa]

Does Natalia think leopards have stripes and tigers have spots?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

You are truly blessed!!!

[jdsteel]

I’m not a huge ‘tat fan, but your daughter is a little angel! My son is 1/3 (soon 2/3) of the way through the Army Ranger program. I told him that when he gets his Ranger Tab he and I will get a tatoo together. Mine will be the Ranger emblem with “Proud Dad” written underneath.

[Vinnie]

Who’d a guessed. Tigers used to have spots.

[Vinnie]

I’ve tried, but I just don’t dig chicks with tattoos.

I'm with you.
A little butterfly on the ankle is one thing but the technicolor blobs all over the arms, neck, etc. Yuck
Same with men doing it. G..ross.

And piercing in general. The little diamond nose pierce in particular. Looks like a wad of fresh snot got stuck. :^)

I’ve tried to dig guys who don’t dig chicks with tattoos but I just can’t.

I tried to dig chicks who don't dig guys who don't dig chicks with tattoos, but they just didn't want anything to do with me.

I tried to dig chicks who dig guys who don't dig chicks with tattoos, but they didn't want anything to do with me either.

I tried to dig chicks... Who are breathing and have a pulse. But they didn't want anything to do with me either.

Therefore, I hate people in general and women in particular, but I'm not bitter.

"I would hit that,heh-heh!"

[VeniVidiVici]

I'm not a tattoo fan myself but I have to admit I was intrigued over this one.

I was looking for fishing rods on CraigsList when I came across it.

[saleman]

“I was looking for fishing rods on CraigsList when I came across it”

Sure you were. But just because I don’t believe you doesn’t mean your wife doesn’t believe you. Whatever you do remember: deny, deny, deny

[Ditter]

When I was a kid, proper southern girls were not allowed to get tattoos.

Only military men could have tattoos and then if you had been in prison, it was a given.

[saleman]

BTW that kinda reminds me of the duck thing.

You know.

If it looks like a fish, feels like a fish and smells like a fish.....it might not be a fish

[JoeProBono]

[Vinnie]

The way that rod is bent, must be a big one.

[VeniVidiVici]

LOL! I may have to give the guy a call and take him up on his offer to go fishing

Of course, he probably scammed the pic himself from somewhere else :)

Used to be, you had to go to summer bible camp to see missionary pics of the primitives with bones stuck in their nose.

Today you just go get coffee.

[miss marmelstein]

Usually sailors - who would admit they were drunk when they got the tattoo.
