Even though you are not a criminal suspect, it is a good idea to avoid these.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

I don't understand your point. So, they caught a rapist because the victim remembered a detail (even though she was being raped) that was later used to identify the scumbag....So what? You're saying "don't get tattoos?" How about...."don't get into car accidents hours after you rape someone..." OR "don't take your shirt off if you have wierd tattoos on your chest while you are raping someone..." HOW ABOUT...."Don't rape people!!!"


Good morning......:bath: :rofl: :rofl:

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

What I'm saying is that it's an identifying mark. Don't think that records are not being kept by tat shops, hospitals, doctor's offices etc.

It has NOTHING to do with this crime... It has EVERYTHING to do with what will be labeled "crime" in the future of this totalitarian regime.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Between this reason and the risks of gettig infected with who knows what (20% chance of hepatitis B)... I really don't understand why people subject themselves to tattoos.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

FYI;
During my stint as a prison gaurd I saw many, many cases were prisoners' tats were photographed in extreme detail as if they were fingerprints, even the normally covered ones. I personally know for a fact that Tennessee keeps extensive tatoo records on it's jailed and imprisoned inmates. I suspect other law inforcement agencies do as well since tats tend to be very unique in their design and placement on the body.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Everything is an identifying mark. Are you suggesting cutting our eyes out to prevent the distinct future of rentinal scans? What I don't get is the fact that every instance you mentioned was based on a criminal. SHTF does not give you a license to be a crook, keep yourself clean and you won't have to be identified.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

I wasn't personally telling anyone not to get one. They're completely legal and alot of folks like them.

I was just saying that if you end up in jail or prison they'll probably be recorded, that's all.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

I was addressing R MAc, but I understand what you are saying.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

I don't think you get it. What if you get labeled an Enemy Combatant for protesting against foreign policy (just for example). You might be in a situation where necessity requires you to be a fugitive from INjustice.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Nothing looks tougher or cooler than a 60 year old with sagging wrinkled tattoos. I really don't understand the appeal. It's most odd when you see a 130 lb guy with no muscles with them so he can look "badass."
Isn't this in the same section where they tell you not to wear wool and linen at the same time?

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

thats right. also tatts are what I call "hallmarks of bad taste." it's like having a "kick me" sign on your forehead.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

this is one juncture where the ancient Hebrews and also the ancient Greeks were in agreement.

the body is a temple and tattoos are like graffitti.

"Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."

that was probably the most idiotic remark he ever made, including whatever stuff he said whilst playing "pro wrestler"

one man is nothing against an army

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

For these reasons it can be handy to keep a disguise kit in this era of public surveilance. Fake mustaches, baseball caps with sunglasses and other stereotypes need not apply. What you need is a shirt and pants in a style unrelated to what you normally wear and some means of changing your hair. It helps if your alternate fashion is one that is strongly associated with one subculture or another, but opposite to yours. For instance if you are country cowboy in practice you could switch to urban gangsta. If you're trailer trash switch to a business suit. Things along those lines. You can carry a briefcase in a backpack or a backpack in a briefcase to give you somewhere to stash your disguise. It is usually easier and more believable to go from lots of hair to less or none, the same for a beard or mustache. Oh, if you are going to pose as a subculture you do not typically associate with, practice a little. You don't have to be really good at it, most are full of posers anyway, just be good enough to sell it from a distance.

Once again certain members have hijacked a thread and turned it into a religious bible thumping lecture. No one wants to hear it. It was not the intention of the original poster. Why is it that Christians in particular feel the need to push their beliefs onto other people?

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

It isn't all Christians. I, for instance, identify as Christian but didn't try to jam anything down anybody's throat in my post. To answer your question it is a matter of spiritual warfare. The man on the inside can do the most dammage so you corrupt the church with false doctrine, encourage extremely poor quality witnessing amongst would-be Christians and you'll effectively drive any fence sitters away from ever even considering coming to God. Do you ever wonder why half of the Faith and Religion forum is so-called Christians trolling other Christians? Same reason.

That said, I think TKS earns his de-merits here for style and trend, not content. Anyone could just have easily lifted a quote from someone or something else that said "tattoos suck!" and had the same effect. The Jesse Ventura offering is either intentional parody or else just a really good example of the same, for instance.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

REV127
The Ventura quote was my response to TKS' quoting the bible. I just get tired on the same old drivel. Yeah, yeah, the bible comments on everything....we know already.....

I mean, seriously does anyone NOT know that Christianity exists???!!!

(btw, your "disguise" quote was interesting....)

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Good one! I'll have to remember that for future use...

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

So I guess it would be a bad idea to tatoo GIM's website on someones back and include everyone's screen name??:wink: :wink: :wink:

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Heh, there was a case I read about earlier in the year where some gangsta got caught because he had a tattoo of his gun(which he ditched at a crime scene) on his waist... COMPLETE WITH THE ACTUAL SERIAL NUMBER OF THE GUN!

It'd be kind of cool to have a treasure map or something tattooed on your head, though. Then you could grow your hair out and have a special secret, just like in Cutthroat Island.:elefant:

here's a pack proud salvadoran trout that just love tatts. this is not the company that I keep, I can tell you that:

In TheKing'sSon's defence, I don't see where he was cramming his viewpoint on anyone else. He was just stating his viewpoint and giving a Bible reference to support it. Last I heard the 1st Ammendment guarantees the "free exercise" of religion and speech, not freedom from someone else's religious opinion.

As a Christian I appreciate his reminder as to a possible verse to use on my sons if/when they try to get caught up in this tatoo frenzy.

Actually, there are other health concerns about tatoos. Tatoo inks are not regularly checked for side effects or toxins. What happens if you turn out to be allergic to something in the ink? Not a pretty sight, and it's under your skin forever . . .

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

they're not at all. they often contain heavy metals. it's a crappy idea on so many levels.

what's with these young girls with the tatts on their lower backs? one of my aquaintances called them a "target." it's slutty, in a word.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

To cover an inconvenient tattoo: Go to the drugstore and buy Revlon Colorstay foundation makeup in a shade or two lighter than your skin. Dab it on with your fingertips and blow it dry with a blowdryer. Powder it lightly. Warning: You'll have to work to get this stuff off you, as it will last through several showers. (I cannot believe women use that brand on their faces!)

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Are you honestly saying that every time you were in a discussion with someone, that person always quoted scripture, you wouldn't eventually become irratated? (even being a Christian yourself?)

This is not a spirituality website. This is not a Christian website. Yet we have certain Christians CONSTANTLY quoting the bible here. It offends me, and I have decided not to let it go....which is my 1st amendment right.

For the record, I would be doing the same if there were other religion's trolls hijacking threads on a regular basis here.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Me too!:wink:

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

By repeating this words, aren't you being a hypocrite and sticking your nose in other people's business-- ie, telling TKS what he should post and not post?

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

I appreciate the defense from some of you. :coolbeer:
I did as previously explained, simply stating what I thought and did not even put a "reference" on it, to keep some of the over sensitive ones here at bay.

How did you know it was a scripture??

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Tatts are there to draw your eye to that spot. Your aquaintance is correct.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Seeing that we are in the Survival Prep area, I think the original idea of this thread had to do with having a tattoo and being able to remain anonymous in a SHTF scenario. Christianity = tattoos are bad, offers nothing to the original conversation. Whatever Christianity says about tattoos has no purpose in the survival Prep arena.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

so.... Christians and survival do not mix er?

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

This is affectionately referred to as the "tramp stamp" :love: :love: :albertein

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Tattoos on women bum me out.

It is like some street punk tagging a master piece painting with spray paint saying I was here.

E-A

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

That's a tattoo that'll stand out from the crowd! :D

First tattoos, then piercings, then branding, then RFID. Slow but sure wins the race.

Your response to a one line post is where the hijack started.

Common, nobody would even have given it a second look if you hadn't started stirring the pot.

Why do you feel so uncomfortable when someone meerely gives their opinion *WHEN ASKED FOR IT*? :stickyman

---------

Right on Lore, the frog/pot is a great analogy.

I also liked the spray paint on a picasso comment as well.

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

*Looks at the prevelance of pierced ears in our culture.*

We'd be in trouble if the bible said "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for fashion and tradition"!

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

I have a better idea. If you are going to rape a chick, first apply some very distinct and visible removeable (fake) tatoo's! After you commit the act, wash them off. When the authorities are looking for a man with a huge battleship on his chest, you will be home free!

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Well, actually, to avoid the scanning software, you want to change the measurements of your ears. Yes. Ear measurements are extremely useful in identifing individuals. Eyebrow line and ear changes. Actors putty does the trick. Cops know (DUH!) that anyone change thier body hair and clothes in less then 15 seconds. So they dont look for that. They look for your GAIT and, if your face is going through a scanner, those oh so important biometrics. Really. No kidding. Don't take my word for it, call a security company vendor and tell them you want face recognition software. That will start the whole conversation rolling. :)

I like looking at girl asses... including tattooed ones. :) Tattoos also have polymers in them now... yes, plastic. Slows the fading process. Great. Plastic.
Tramp Stamps: I have heard

Tramp Stamps: I have heard of ankle tats being called tramp stamps. I guess it could be any trendy tattoo...

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

Actually in a weird way, I'm glad my mother raped my father. If not maybe I wouldn't be here now.................. :marchmell

Re: Tattoos... don't even think about it!
 

One time, back at camp, the cops showed up. We were all piss drunk.
The cops lined us up, took our names and identifications, and asked each
of us if we had tats. The ones with tattoos had to show them to the cops.
Only the girls had tats. The cops let us all go. I love girls with tats.
Especially the ones with tramp stamps on their derri�res.
I believe I was saved by one in particular.
Had to wriggle her tight jeans down.
It was a Kodak moment I'll always remember.

But yes, cops do use tattoos for identification purposes.

If I ever do get one, it definitely won't be on my ass.
The end result would not have been so favorable
if I had wriggled my jeans down. :rofl: :rofl:
