I've been wanting one for years. Something small, discrete and personally meaningful. A new adventure - yes!

a small butterfly discreetly placed is very sexy....

I know tattoos are the latest fad- but I would rather not be served by a tattoo covered individual--am I alone with this feeling?

My cousin worked at one of the eating establishments in brownwood and was always required to wear long sleeves due to having tattoos from his shoulder to his wrists. I would expect most food service workers in this area to abide by the same principles. Bar tenders and hair stylists not so much, but I've still never seen a health issue with it.

My chosen profession frowns on tattoos so I would never get one, especially a visible one, but your mileage may vary.

I got my first one before I moved here 5 years ago. It's an orobouros similar to the one below, in dragon form because I'm part Welsh. It circles around my shoulder and symbolizes constant re-creation or rebirth. Not a butterfly. :)

Whatever flips your switch. They don't allow them where I pole dance.

It has been open season on smokers for a long time and everybody is out gunning for them. That is reality. Most smokers here will not respond on this site for fear of being attacked, but that is not me. What I find interesting about those here so disgusted and offended by smokers is their inability to recognize their own life style choices that others would/may find offensive. One recent example was an individual complaining about having to smell the cigarette smoke fingers of the hairdresser while having his mustache trimmed. My thought was what his mustache was smelling like after having three meals filtered through it along with the appropriate condiments and beverages and having it all nicely spread around with the napkins. Add in the active bacteria in there making it a science experiment, I think the hairdresser should have been wearing a mask and rubber gloves before touching this guy.
As far as smoking on a golf course, it is one of life's pleasures for me. I will do it until those who find it offensive are suceccful in having it banned. Until then, may I respectfully suggest you stay upwind of me if we cross paths on the course. One last comment about those against smoking outdoors (where currently allowed). These compliments come from those who have no problem riding behind gas golf carts all day breathing in all that crap, or having their lawns saturated with chemicals to kill pests and grow grass.

Kannon: I smoked until 1973. I quit for many reasons but the one reason driving me was i felt guilty about stinking up other people's homes, for placing my family in a smoke environment and dirty ashtrays.

I don't like facial hair and shave even if I am not leaving my home.

I drive an electric cart because I also dislike the smell of petro and the loud sound of motors telling me to lead follow or get out of the way.

I have no war on cigarette smokers and have said many of the same things you have and so we are in agreement on many issues.

finally I question the obsession about smoking by politicians/people and wonder why they believe marijuana is OK when it is a bigger health hazard ?

Personal Best Regards:

so?? what difference does that make? I should care about others prejudice? I will leave them to believe what they want even if they slight all the others on here with tattoos. I have none but would not make assumptions about those who do!
