Plenty of people have tattoos on parts of their bodies which are visible in any real world encounters. This would indicate that they do not consider those specific tattoos too personal to share with strangers. I assume the invitation was for people to share pictures of those tattoos, not to pry into people's privacy.I don't feel comfortable showing some stranger my tattoos. They are personal. If you are interested in seeing tattoos, go to a shop. They have books of them you can look at, as well as someone to talk to you about personal designs.
Even with the PG rules, I've still encountered some unnecessary hostility or just plain negativity. Though, at the same time and happily for the most part, I have also found some incredibly surprising friendliness and helpfulness, so for those I am greatly appreciative. It's just that one in 100 posts that might feel personally directed as hostile or unfriendly or what-have-you that can really put a damper on one's spirits. And when you can't have spirits, well, I don't know. I like how there's no photos in this thread as of yet, but I do honestly just like the solitary chit chat (as opposed to a giant long thread that's years old and goes anywhere and everywhere and you can't go much in depth). But those silly long threads are indeed nice. I like 'em a lot. Except when someone doesn't like what I post and gets mad and that makes me sad when all I want to do is make people happy and like me.
Sorry, didn't want to offend anyone. I can understand the not wanting to show strangers stuff. I've even been hesitant to show my vaping gear, and even my hands holding my gear. I just know there's plenty of people who do show off their tattoos online. I was just feeling super depressed and needed something to distract me and thought I could get some easy cheering up here. Sorry, still new here and learning the ropes.
I don't understand the PG regulations on this site, when smoking and vaping must be restricted to those 18 years or older in most places. Though I'm sure this has been brought up plenty already here.
Thanks for the links, Classwife.
