If you find me a gal that has a "tramp stamp" with a meaning behind it, ill find you a white guy with a good reason as to why he has a tribal armband.

My tattoo means a hell of a lot to me. It does have a deeply personal story to it and what it signifies.

However, I don't believe someone really needs "a good reason" to get a tattoo other than they just want one (or two, or three). Body modification has been around for a mighty long time and will continue to go on. Having a drive to change one's body--permenently--is normal for a lot of people. And explaining that drive to someone who doesn't have it is like trying to explain to a non-climber why you have to climb.

Naw im down with that, Im just saying i dont think that its belittling to call a trampstamp and trampstamp (im justing a ass) and Im not calling any tattoo on a womans back a tramp stamp. I plan on getting a "Ka-Pow" tattoed to the bottom of my foot this january for the MMA stuff that i do(doesnt mean anything but no ones really gonna see it). The triabal armbands never really maded sence to me because there a tribal thing and how many white guys a really from tribe? I think thats belittling to tribal folk.

From where do you think tattoos originated? Start with the etymology of the word itself...

i gott a tattoo of a doughnut around my asshole and it's all for me a means a alot to me and has meaning goddammmmit, it's a means to my end. and sometimes when i poop it looks like a chocolate doughnut and when my chicks lick my butt it looks glazed. im really glad i did this for myself it means so much to me even though i can't see it and it meant even more to the tatto artist cause i had really bad gas that day.

 

 

TATTOOS ARE GHEY, but that's just my opinion which isn't worth crap around here which really has no meaning at all.

"And this tattooing had been the work of a departed prophet and seer of his island, who, by those hieroglyphic marks, had written out on his body a complete theory of the heavens and the earth, and a mystical treatise on the art of attaining truth; so that Queequeg in his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; but whose mysteries not even himself could read. And these mysteries were therefore destined in the end to moulder away with the living parchment whereon they were inscribed, and so be unsolved to the last."

Best book ever.

Can you really be a respectable thirty-something these days without tats and chickens?
I decided to be different by NOT having any tats or holes put in me. Course, I just turned 40 so I don't count anymore.

Chapter xcv - THE CASSOCK

 

Had you stepped on board the Pequod at a certain juncture of this post-mortemizing of the whale; and had you strolled forward nigh the windlass, pretty sure am I that you would have scanned with no small curiosity a very strange, enigmatical object, which you would have seen there, lying along lengthwise in the lee scuppers. Not the wondrous cistern in the whale's huge head; not the prodigy of his unhinged lower jaw; not the miracle of his symmetrical tail; none of these would so surprise you, as half a glimpse of that unaccountable cone, - longer than a Kentuckian is tall, nigh a foot in diameter at the base, and jet-black as Yojo, the ebony idol of Queequeg. And an idol, indeed, it is; or, rather, in old times, its likeness was. Such an idol as that found in the secret groves of Queen Maachah in Judea; and for worshipping which, king Asa, her son, did depose her, and destroyed the idol, and burnt it for an abomination at the brook Kedron, as darkly set forth in the 15th chapter of the first book of Kings.

 

Look at the sailor, called the mincer, who now comes along, and assisted by two allies, heavily backs the grandissimus, as the mariners call it, and with bowed shoulders, staggers off with it as if he were a grenadier carrying a dead comrade from the field. extending it upon the forecastle deck, he now proceeds cylindrically to remove its dark pelt, as an African hunter the pelt of a boa. This done he turns the pelt inside out, like a pantaloon leg; gives it a good stretching, so as almost to double its diameter; and at last hangs it, well spread, in the

rigging, to dry. Ere long, it is taken down; when removing some three feet of it, towards the pointed extremity, and then cutting two slits for arm-holes at the other end, he lengthwise slips himself bodily into it. The mincer now stands before you invested in the full canonicals of his calling. Immemorial to all his order, this investiture alone will adequately protect him, while employed in the peculiar functions of his office.

 

That office consists in mincing the horse-pieces of blubber for the pots; an operation which is conducted at a curious wooden horse, planted endwise against the bulwarks, and with a capacious tub beneath it, into which the minced pieces drop, fast as the sheets from a rapt orator's desk. Arrayed in decent black; occupying a conspicuous pulpit; intent on bible leaves; what a candidate for an archbishoprick, what a lad for a Pope were this mincer! Bible leaves! Bible leaves! This is the invariable cry from the mates to the mincer. It enjoins him to be careful, and cut his work into as thin slices as possible, inasmuch as by so doing the business of boiling out the oil is much accelerated, and its quantity considerably increased, besides perhaps improving it in quality.
