In reply to: Cathy F. 's message, "Question - weddings, tatoos and what's over the top" on 10:45:49 07/05/12 Thu

I was invited back in May to my husband's neice's wedding. She's never been married, but has live with the same guy for 5yrs and have a 5 yr. old son. In May she had a $50,000 formal wedding. She wore a white gown, the whole 9 yards. We did not attend for several reasons. But, to me this seems tacky. I know it's done all the time. But, does anyone else feel that way? It seems today no one has any "Class" as my Mom would put it. I started watching "Say Yes To The Dress" a Bridal show. And the girls come in and spend thousands of $ on beauriful gowns with these huge tattoos. I know practically everyone has one, but one girl had a dragon all the way up her back and wanted a backless gown that would show it. It looked grotesque. I just was wondering if any one else fell this way. I was a child of the 60's so I'm think I'm pretty easy going about stuff, but some things are just so over the top?

[> [> I HATE tatoos. What is the matter with people? I've seen so many otherwise sexy men, with gross tatoos all over their bodies. I'm sure they'll look just wonderful when they are old....To me, tatoos say "Cheap, tacky, gross, unsexy, unromantic,unclassy, stupid, sleazy, dirty looking, a complete turn off, and very, very BAD art." And I agree, they really destroy the look of a pretty wedding dress. I'm always disappointed when someone I like has one. Hey, you did ask...lol. -- Cece, 14:46:47 07/05/12 Thu [1]

[> [> [> Let me clarify. I am NOT saying that people with tats have these qualities. It's just that all the bike gang thugs are covered in tats, and that's what they look like to me. Two men who I find very sexy, handsome, and otherwise classy, (Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds, and David Beckham of soccer fame), have tats, which is really too bad. Don't get me started on the women. -- Cece (now I've probably offended all my tattered friends.), 17:22:04 07/05/12 Thu [1]

[> [> [> [> Thanks a lot Cece! ;-) the only difference between those of us who have tattoos and those that don't is that we don't care that you don't have any. LOL! I like small well done tattoos. Great big ones are just too crowded to look right. -- Theresa, 11:42:22 07/06/12 Fri [1]

[> [> [> [> [> Hey Theresa! I don't care iif you have a tatoo or not. I don't care how people decorate themselves, or if they use permanent ink to do it. I can still think they look gross when they cover someone's body. I live in a great place, sadly with many tough gangs (Hell's Angels and the like), and they are all covered in tats. It goes with the territory. But I don't like seeing an otherwise gorgeous guy or pretty woman covered in the same way. Maybe I was traumatised by having inky fingers at school....LOL. -- Cece, 18:09:11 07/06/12 Fri [1]

[> [> [> "Cheap, tacky, gross, unsexy, unromantic,unclassy, stupid, sleazy, dirty looking, a complete turn off, and very, very BAD art." LOLOL What do you really think Cece? Love that you called them "tattered". There's a joke in there somewhere--I'm just too tired to find it. -- JJ Ronda--still tattoo free, 19:53:45 07/06/12 Fri [1]

[> [> Whenever I see women with those huge, ugly tattoos in very exposed parts of their body, I think of two things. Well, actually, I think of a lot of things (see Cece's post below), but the two foremost are 1) How will that affect their professional career? and 2) How will that look when paired with fancy, elegent wedding dress? -- JJ Ronda--The beauty of the dress is negated by the ugly exposed tattoo, IMO., 19:58:45 07/06/12 Fri [1]

[> [> [> You should see them when they get stretched out in pregnancy! And you don't even want to know what they look like after C-section scar. I've watched many an OB "try" to put them back together again, LOL!!! -- doc, 07:19:01 07/07/12 Sat [1]
