Then and Now
FYI:
What is it with the weather lately?
It's so freakin hot I could almost swear it's the beginning of summer!
But we have that all year.
Icecream would taste so good right now....
Oh, and then there's the haze. Again.

Guys are crazy about tatoos.
Why is that?
Cool tatoos=Respect?
In the olden days perhaps.
Back then, tatoos weren't just for show...they were kinda like "medals" worn by warriors...
It was like each tatoo represented an act or acts of heroism.
More tatoos=The more heroic a person is.
My grandpa has tatoos on his back, his arms...even his neck (which must've hurt like hell!)
Nothing fancy like the ones now.
But those were the tatoos that earned respect.
They were symbolic for those who fought for their country. Their nation. Their freedom.
Now, its more like a fashion statement.
To impress the girls?
To make a statement?
Or just to make up for something they lack? 
Is it worth it?
Eventually, it's what INSIDE that matters.

Oh!! I dig tattoo! Glad you blog about this :P Really, I really love to have a tattoo.. or few tattoos.. :D Still tattooless for the moment, as I couldn't think of any design yet that I realy love but for sure I will have it one day. And I still thinking which part of my body to tattoo :D Well, obviously not on my face, forehead. I had considered to do it behind my neck area, but due to the nature of the job I'm doing, that will invite curious/unnecessary attention. And definitely will not do at those area, where when I'm 40-50 years old, become flabby.. out of shape or later a dragon tattoo will look like a worm kah kah kah! Most probably do it at calf, thigh, or arm. Any suggestions? Nope, It's not for show off purpose..less to impress girls. (wtf, if the girl like me because of my tattoo/impressed by my tattoo.. sedih sedih.. either I'm too dumb so I will choose to accept her or she's really dumb for liking me for that reason haha!) It's more of personal thing..to remind you of something, symbolise something.. bla bla..Or as a fashion statement haha!
i would love to have one big one at my back .. a crucifix ... like the one traa-wuv have on his back. more or less like what beckham have on his back except for the pic would be a crucifix! truly amazing
you know.. European sailors were known to tattoo the crucifixion on their backs to prevent flogging as a punishment as at that time it was a crime to deface an image of Christ..
kersz,
wow..ur first long comment...i get it that u dig tatoos...hehe.
Suggestions?
what about something tribal? Those look nice.
Guys,
What are ur opinions of ppl who have their gf/bf's name tatoo-ed on them?
What about tatoo-ed s? =)just curious.
i dun have any problems about that but .. he he he .. if you break up how le? take out balik ah?
don't tattoo name la.. c'mon unless you are damn sure there is no other margaret or archibald in this world.. hehehe.. at least if you tattoo some design, it's unique. but a name?? imagine you tattoo the name of your sweet gf only to find out that, the auntie next door shares the same name, and she keep staring at your tattoo.. creepy.. creepy..
but, as long as you can endure the pain, you can always have the name, or names erased :D er, they said that erasing a tattoo it is 10x more painful than doing it... bwahahahaha! Em, what will happen if your have your ex name on your chest and your current gf on top of you looking at the tattoo :D :D :D :D use your imagination :P
aww...Bomgkesrz...
I'm touched u considered tattoo-ing my name...but u x need to do that...hehe...
(Archie ur gonna ask urself hehe.)
Yea..the "what-if-break-up" thing is the 1st thing u gotta consider b4 having tht person's name tatooed on u. But d same name scenario I never thought of...unless in the case its MY name u wont have to worry cos mine is unique;y spelled..its MARGRET..no A aft G..=)
oh :P margret.. so your bf can be quite sure there is no other name like yours? :P hahahahaha! check the yellow book listing already?
yellow pages u mean? no...
but i'm pretty sure its just me.
(y dont u check n let me knw if u find out otherwise...deal?)
but personally,i wouldn't want anyone to have my name tattooed on them...that's kinda creepy...and in the case of a relationship,tht would put a lot of pressure on both parties (the tatto-ed and the person whose name IS the tattoo) - as if a relationship itself is not enough pressure already.
hehe...as if i knew.;p
hey guys..what's ur opinion of girls with tattoos? curious...=)
hmm.. normal gua... I view it as just another body accessories. But, some of them tattoo it at certain areas, it's like to ask you to look/focus on that particular part.. :D
