Tattoo and social class

[Kahaih]

Well, my artist is located on The Royal Mile, not exactly "unsavoury".

So, google coughed up two on The Royal Mile:

1) Tribal Body Art - http://www.tribalbodyart.co.uk/

2) Studio XIII Gallery - http://www.stxiii.com/

. . . for those who might like a peek in. They didn't seem too shabby, to me.

There were a few others in the vicinity, though. (One named something like 'Whiplash Trash', I think - I laughed.)

I wonder if I could tattoo myself a tan. Wouldn't that be classy?

I seem to recall M. Jackson’s autopsy report saying that he had his (fake) hairline tattooed in, and there might have been a couple other such ‘cosmetic’ type tats, as well.

No, the € has two bars...and preferably a number after it. Maybe even a number with multiple digits!

I didn't say they were good or clever jokes...

I usually have to force a smile and try not to give the impression that I'm fitting because I roll my eyes so heavily.

In my considered opinion, it would depend quite heavily on whether you tattooed a speedo or boardshorts line on said tan.

Following the thought, no lines at all would be extremely tacky.

^you need to shift that camera a little to the left, please!

Reminds me of a guy that had "cakes cakes cakes" tattooed and wrapped around his stomach to his ass.

He had no cakes, just dough. False advertising.

This is a picture of me. And look.. I'm working.

If you choose to not hire me because of my tattoos, you probably aren't a good enough businessperson to last and I don't want to work for you, anyway.

I'd hire you to shoot porn but I definitely wouldn't hire you to serve food in a restaurant.

Why not?

haha.. yeah. I'm going to work a job that pays below minimum wage and requires me to let assholes boss me around for tips.

That's going to happen.

For the record, what the skill I have that's currently most in demand is my video post production skills. I've edited a lot of TV commercials, a couple of series and a comedy movie last year. Along with other one-off projects like book trailer and a couple promotional videos.

I also have done a bunch of movie trailers and recoloured a movie. Not once has anyone really even mentioned my tattoos other than to say they like the Greek Sarcophagus one. If you do good work, you do good work. If anyone would get upset about your personal appearance and spite the final results of their project over it... they do so at their own peril.

Nobody watching anything I've done cares what the video editor looked like.

Why not?

Der.

I want to eat fresh food in a hygienic restaurant. I don't want to be confronted with purple and black squirming shapes that might be maggots or dead leaves or skulls-and-cross-bones or Gothic scripts from the dead.

Well as you are well known for your "elitism" i should imagine the restaurants you do deem to visit, would have waiters in crisp starched white shirts with bow-ties.
Bowing and scraping to your psuedo egotism. No?

Wrong. I prefer self-serve places. I want to pay attention to the food and my companions and don't want to be bothered by servile attendants. (I'm a quasi-Methodist.)

It's freaks like you that make me very happy I can pick and choose my gigs and never have to deal with people's OCD while serving them food.

For the record I shower every day and don't have maggots on my body.

Fucking Hell, dude. You need therapy.

If that means "bonkers," I concur.

Fair enough. As you wish.

Yes I am tight.
