Gay Men with Bio Hazard Tats

[agayguy]

If we see a gay man with a bio hazard tattoo- three rings with a chunk missing from each circle, is that in general, a statement by him that he is HIV positive?

 

[Taz]

In that case what would a radioactive symbol mean?

 

[Cormac135]

No it just means he's naff.

 

[72-Jay]

My understanding is that yes, in genera if a guy has a biohazard tattoo he is HIV positive..

 

[Willie Boy]

What if he's straight?

 

[Vitamin]

I find the whole concept rather degrading, but whatever it's his body.

 

[Poozy1]

It's possible he could just really like Resident Evil.

They're secretly Spider-man?

It's possible he could just really like Resident Evil.

It's possible he could be Satan's Wifey.

In London in the 90's it was quite common for HIV+ gay men to have a Bio-Hazard tattoo either on their pectoral muscle, their left one if passive, their right if active.
Or at the top of their arm. The men who had these done were in the whole gay activists.

As an aside: Back then many ambulance crews were glad to be forewarned of any blood borne virus.

I agree. I find tattooes in general a complete turn off
I would never get involved with anyone who has spoiled his body with ink

Yes.

Tolstoy wrote novels to express himself. Speilberg makes $20 million movies to express himself. Poor people use their limbs to express themselves.

just for the tattoo haters.

I used to use my old Jub avatar, which is green-tinted pic of me which fades into a green biohazard icon, as my Manhunt profile pic, wondered why I never got any hits.

Then someone told me the significance of it. Changed it, everything improved.

The number of millionaires out there dousing themselves in tats easilY disprove this theory of yours about the poor, but hey, you've never been too receptive to facts.

I remember and liked that avatar. I just thought it was sci-fi/geek/mutant/science nerd. I guess I'm too naive to think it could have been any type of actual warning of HIV status. I've never taken subject matter of tattoos very seriously or tried to interpret their meaning. Why would I think that one was serious while all the others are not?

 

[pat grimshaw]

You might describe them as 'millionaires' but I describe them as 'intellectually poor'.

Madame Curie is probably apt if the person was radioactive, then Darwin says this man is an ape, and Nicolas Tesla says he's electrifyingly good. Maybe.

 

[pat grimshaw]

Crazy people

^ has that poor man painted his body AND put on THREE pairs of pants?

...Nicolas Tesla ...
