The Wingnut said:edit: I think it would be more appropriate to say that recent generations have not known hardship. Most of their lives have been without significant struggle or conflict. They have not had to literally fight for their lives or ideals or the continuance thereof, they are instead involved in a war of words and images. When one has to take up arms to defend one's way of life, life takes on a completely different meaning and the trivial issues fall by the wayside. An absence of such trial and hardship leaves a person to find meaning and reason in life through different avenues.

I've had two offspring. 1 I had to to get drugs, 1 I did not. Childbirthd hurts even with drugs. Period.Pink Dahlia said:That first one HAS to be a joke right? He says she's going to scare the baby. Is that her baby? If so total joke. Now I do not have any children but I've heard getting a tattoo is not even a fraction as painful as childbirth.
You know I bet those girls walk around all bad talking up their tattoos. Ugh. I'm disgusted. People like that should NOT get tattooed.
I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt. It's a flesh wound. But I have never behaved in such an undignified manner. Buck up or don't get 'em. Period. The end.

Viola said:I'm just saying that addressing an entire generation as "did not know any hardship" is disrespectful to a lot of the kids I grew up with and is a pretty huge generalization as it seems to say the world = two parent middle-class American homes.
I'd stack the ravages of crack cocaine against Vietnam any day.

Tattoos are as vintage as mom's apple pie.pdxvintagette said:I don't feel make me any less classically 40's, I'm still a purist in most ever other way.

There is never a need to defend or explain self expression.
pdxvintagette said:No, you're quite right - but they did disappoint some of the folks I buy from at the antique show here in town.
I very much like the arrow pierced heart on that last page of flash, but my two shoulder tats are hearts, so the next one needs to be something different. I'm kind of thinking of something based on the 30's keyhole Elvgren that is so well-known, you know, the one that frames the silhouette of the girl undressing? (Geez, see, I get ahead of myself!)
