That's a great secondary effect of having long hair and a beard, too. It quickly weeds out small-minded people.
I was going to get a tattoo, but I wanted it to be meaningful and would sit on any idea for at least a year. If I liked it a year later, I'd get it. Still don't have one. Closest I came was one drunken night on the sunset strip with a merc guitarist my band had for a while. Two tall blond and very drunken musicians stumble in the shop and request the Notre Dame fisticuffs leprechaun. Guy kicked us out for being too drunk, but I think I could've lived with that one.
Other ideas I've rejected are the dancing hula girl and a ship or anchor on my forearm.
Best tattoo I've seen recently was on a girl at the pizza place. "Gun Show" on the inside of her bicep. She's a trip.

I've thought about getting a tatoo, but they always seem to look odd on ectomorphic (I learned a new word from another thread here!) guys.

Worst tattoo I ever saw was on a young girl waiting tables in a diner/bookstore. She had 'W-O-R-D" and "G-A-M-E" across her knuckles.
That has to be instantly regrettable. It's only clever if you're stoned and even then I would imagine it's not worth more than a 'heh'.

Knuckle Tattoo's are the most fucking stupid thing on Earth anyway. The face is the only worse place to put one.

I've never understood why people get tattoos on parts of their body that they never get to see. Why get "body art" that you will not be able to view and appreciate?
I've never understood why people go to college and study fields that they have no talent for nor interest in. People do things for some pretty stupid reasons. I never understood calculus. |

Neat trick, getting a five letter word tattooed on all your fingers. It works for him, but not most of us.

Neither does anyone else. It's all a trick to make everyone else look stupid. Like art appreciation. |

This reminds me of yet another thing to check on if I go to my 15-year reunion this summer. After, "How many of the skanks you earmarked for an OD before 30 actually dead." The next question is, "How many of them actually DID get "OZZY" tattooed on their knuckles. |

I think Cthulhu would be a cool tattoo, but not for me.
Also, Tattoos, not Tattoo's. Never ever need to use an apostrophe to pluralize anything.
There are some crazy tattoos out there, some of them are really clever and funny, but I'm not going for funny. I don't want to be a walking punchline (any more than I am, I mean). I want something that I believe, but that I can still look at as a reminder or for inspiration. It sounds like a grim message, but that's not how I see it. For me, it's a reminder on how to live well. Sometimes I need that.
Also I'm gonna get the Crow makeup tattooed on my face. I will get soooo many chicks.

See, this is how it starts. First a picture of yourself with pretty pink hair. Then asking the guys if they want to get a little closer with a picture of your naked shoulder blade. Before you know it, you've quit your job and you're running your own pay-per-view site called 'Prettiness Desecrated' and getting young fans to hand over the cash for the pleasure of wanking over pictures of you and an unnamed other female with a cucumber and a steady supply of buttplugs.
I'm guessing, of course.

It's only a flawless victory if it actually happens... It did. (Link very NSFW) In all honesty, she kept saying in her LJ that beautydestroyed.com was already up BEFORE she took the position at SOE, and that Brenlo (or was it Smedley?) knew it all, but being good at her mod job they were confident there was no way to uncover her double identity. |

Here it is (almost integral.. it's not from her LJ as apparently that post is not there anymore to be seen, so I took it from a quote of a quote of a quote...) As my site took off I realized that this wasn't going to be an indefinite situation. I chose pr0n over EQII Dev because 1. It pays better; 2. I don't have to deal with being micromanaged (or managed at all); 3. After the management changed, I hated my job anyway and 4. EQII was going nowhere (and I HATED San Diego to boot). I only accepted the job at SOE because I loved my work in the first place; I took a serious pay cut from working in IT to work there as a fucking forum moderator. I loved it though...I MISS the damn forums sometimes...the haiku, oh my! But the work environment just became the utter suck so /endjob.
Wanna know what turned me off about SOE? Well, first off I watched a girl with NO experience at all get promoted over me because she waggled her tits at her boss. I'm not an office flirt whatsoever and tend to keep to myself, so I totally lost on that front because I wasn't willing to go the hoebag omg-let-me-sit-on-ur-lap route. I was more like "gtf out of my cube and let me work in peace, you fag" so, no promotions for me. Strike one. Strike two was the fact that executive staff at SOE just kept making idiotic decisions and leaving Community Relations to clean up the mess. They outright lied to the customer base on several occasions and made me, who would have preferred to say "yeah we lied, our bad", make up excuses and bullshit that I knew the customer base wouldn't buy. I HATED that. Strike three was the management change. I do not refer to the promotion of Gallenite - that dude was seriously one of my favorite people at the entire company and a total badass to work with - or really to Blackguard either because he busted his ass and really loved the game. Largely it was the "we want more but will give you less to do it with" atmosphere, the 65-fucking-page-long manual on how to be a good Rep written by Raph Koster, having meetings in order to schedule meetings (wtf??) and Brenlo constantly micromanaging everything once he got promoted. Prior to that, I liked him just fine and as a person I still do; I just would never want to work under him again because he wants in on everything and I hate that. All this, coupled with the fact that the job was completely dead-end unless I wanted to flash some titty or work 18 hour days + in unpaid overtime in order to kiss someone's ass hard enough that they would move me onto a different team pretty much killed the magic for me. I still have a good view of the company but yeah...I was just done with it. 2 years with no movement at all? Fuck that. If I have to jiggle my tits in order to get somewhere then I'll do that on my own time where I'll get paid more to do it. Pure logic, that. |

So my first day at my first real "corporate job" (OMG! MY OWN CUBICLE!) I was given orientation by the group's administrative assistant.
Bear in mind - first day at first "real" job. I'm nervous as all hell. I want to make a good impression.
The admin asst's orientation consisted of her propping herself on my desk and hiking her skirt so that I could not help but see where she bought her underwear, and asking, in a ludicrously breathy tone of voice, if there was ANYTHING AT ALL she could do, to just LET HER KNOW.
I was in a screaming panic. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW!!! Like any good prospective salaryman, I froze completely, and she moved on.
Some months later she sued the company for sexual harassment.
Moral of the story: everyone has different perceptions. While I have no clue whatsoever what Ms. Malice was like to work with, I'd take rumors like that with a fairly large grain of salt.
