Speaker 1: Just got a brand new tattoo. It's huge. It says,
Speaker 1: no tattoos, it's one more thing. I'm one more thing.
Speaker 1: Or how about tattoos are stupid? That would be a
Speaker 1: good one good tattoo? Where would you put it on
Speaker 1: your forehead a bell or around my neck? Tatoo?
Speaker 2: That tattoo that went viral, it says no regurirts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that became a website. No Regrets is a website
Speaker 3: where people post bad tattoos.
Speaker 4: That is one of my guilty pleasures. It's been a
Speaker 4: while since I've done it. But going to one of
Speaker 4: those bad tattoos websites where it's either no regirts or
Speaker 4: various misspellings, or somebody gets like their babies face tattooed
Speaker 4: on them, but it looks like a demon because the
Speaker 4: artist is just not that good.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, first maybe they birthed the demon. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: I wasn't there, but yeah, I've got to admit I've
Speaker 4: logged some serious time with those websites.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the the tribal stuff where or where it's in
Speaker 3: a foreign language, you know, those are often a mess.
Speaker 4: Oh, the Chinese characters that frequently aren't what the tattoo
Speaker 4: artist told you they were right. It says freedom of spirit,
Speaker 4: not actually says fish thirty percent off.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, or something so soy sauce brand.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So I was expressing my love for AI specifically chat
Speaker 4: GPT just because that's the one I've tried, and I
Speaker 4: want to try GROC and some other ones. But I thought,
Speaker 4: all right, why not? I just asked what kind of
Speaker 4: tattoo should I get? It told me to find the
Speaker 4: right tattoo. Consider what resonates with you, your personal style and
Speaker 4: any symbolic meaning you'd like to convey. Think about the
Speaker 4: tattoo's placement, your lifestyle, and your long term comfort with
Speaker 4: the design.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the placement thing is interesting because I've I haven't
Speaker 3: for years, but I used to think about getting a tattoo.
Speaker 3: It's only because I even come up with a good
Speaker 3: choice that I never got a tattooed. I'm not anti.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't think of any that worked for me.
Speaker 3: But it was always like, do I want it to
Speaker 3: be someplace visible or not? And if it's someplace it's
Speaker 3: not visible really to anyone but me or people that
Speaker 3: enter into a special relationship with me.
Speaker 1: Prison guards et cetera.
Speaker 3: Right, doctors and prison guards pretty much. Then what's the point?
Speaker 3: I often thought, Yeah, I mean, what am I expressing
Speaker 3: if I'm not expressing it to anybody but like two
Speaker 3: people on earth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've had the same thought roughly, although I think,
Speaker 4: you know, if I'm going to get one, and I've
Speaker 4: considered it for years, it would probably be the classic
Speaker 4: you know, shoulder okay, right, yeah, and that you know,
Speaker 4: it's usually just between you and then and your companion
Speaker 4: slash prison guard slash doctor.
Speaker 3: You're a lot younger than us, Katie, but so it
Speaker 3: might have been hard for you to realize this. But
Speaker 3: back in the day, tattoos were not very many men
Speaker 3: had tattoos. No women had tattoos. If you came across
Speaker 3: a tattoo a woman with a tattoo, that was crazy.
Speaker 3: And not even that many men did. But my uncle
Speaker 3: had a tattoo when I was a kid, and I
Speaker 3: always thought it was so cool. He was a really
Speaker 3: buff dude, and he was a marine and fought in
Speaker 3: Vietnam and he had a bulldog on his arm, and
Speaker 3: I always just thought that was so bad ass. But
Speaker 3: he was a badass guy. He can put that same
Speaker 3: bulldog on me, and it wouldn't be the same thing.
Speaker 4: Oh so you like bulldogs, right, they are such pretty dogs.
Speaker 2: I remember when they were frowned upon and growing up,
Speaker 2: my parents both were very wary of me getting them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm telling you, I've said this to people before,
Speaker 3: younger people, and they can't believe it. Like, I worked
Speaker 3: at a bar for years. If a girl, like a
Speaker 3: big nightclub, country club, like three hundred people on a
Speaker 3: Saturday night, if a woman had walked in with tattoos,
Speaker 3: everybody would have been talking in the entire bar.
Speaker 1: It would have been so shocking.
Speaker 4: And I know, and all sorts of assumptions made oh
Speaker 4: so honestly might have at the time been fairly accurate.
Speaker 4: Probably it's funny because that's sounds terrible to say. But no,
Speaker 4: we all intentionally and semi intentionally send each other social
Speaker 4: signals about who we are, the way we'd like to
Speaker 4: be seen, uh, you know, every day through what we
Speaker 4: wear and the way we look in our hair and whatever.
Speaker 3: That's one of the interesting things about tattoos is it's
Speaker 3: certainly lost its edginess. You if you're a I'll go
Speaker 3: with girls again. But if you're a if you're a
Speaker 3: female with a tattoo. It does not signify I'm on
Speaker 3: the edge and kind of live life the way I want,
Speaker 3: because you could be as vanilla, mainstream, normal, culled a
Speaker 3: sac suburban, safe as it gets, and be a tattoo person.
Speaker 3: Now am I right now?
Speaker 2: It's defined by the type of tattoo you. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: if you're the vanilla and very dainty and whatnot. They
Speaker 2: have the very dainty style tattoos.
Speaker 1: I have a dolphin now, I like dolphins. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: dolphin on my ankle.
Speaker 4: I figured that because you have a dolphin. Uh, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the chat chepet advice. It's very thorough
Speaker 4: tips for choosing a tat meaning a symbolism, personal style, placement,
Speaker 4: long term comfort research, tattoo artists.
Speaker 1: Take your time.
Speaker 4: Here are different styles and they have like six or
Speaker 4: seven different styles.
Speaker 1: Things to consider a cost pain. The pain level can very.
Speaker 4: Depending on the location, size of the tattoo, as well
Speaker 4: as your individual pain tolerance.
Speaker 3: I was thought about getting an American flag on my
Speaker 3: arm in the traditional place, like after nine to eleven
Speaker 3: when we were all being extra patriotic, and then somebody said,
Speaker 3: really should be only if you're in the military, and
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, you're probably right.
Speaker 4: So I disagree with that, but I agree with that.
Speaker 4: I stand ready to be talked off that point.
Speaker 1: But no, I disagree with that. Yeah, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be a proposer.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to be a military poser at the
Speaker 3: time when people were like joining up and everything like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough to teach their own. I've thought of
Speaker 1: like getting.
Speaker 3: A poser in all kinds of Otherwise, I don't want to
Speaker 3: be a I'm in the military patriotic poser. I don't
Speaker 3: want to be that kind of poser. You know.
Speaker 4: That's funny speaking of tattoos and posers and my my son.
Speaker 1: I won't bory you.
Speaker 4: With the specifics, but he made a poster that included
Speaker 4: a cartoon of a dude with a cigarette and sunglasses,
Speaker 4: and the caption was so punk it's poser. So poser,
Speaker 4: it's punk. That was an interesting, interesting concept. So the
Speaker 4: horshoe theory, So the pain, how would you describe the pain,
Speaker 4: Katie uh Of? I mean, it's not like you've gotten
Speaker 4: face tattoos or there are certain parts of the body
Speaker 4: people get tattoos. I can't even imagine. Ay y and B.
Speaker 4: That's kind of hurt like fire.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's uncomfortable. It definitely does depend on
Speaker 2: where and I have had plenty of very and I
Speaker 2: will tell you the ribs.
Speaker 1: You yeah, I have.
Speaker 2: I have a tattoo that goes right across the front
Speaker 2: and then on the side. Kind of mind is that.
Speaker 3: I've heard people use the phrase I don't say this word,
Speaker 3: but it starts with a T and refers to women's
Speaker 3: body parts a T chandelier.
Speaker 1: It's not that, is it.
Speaker 2: Uh, well, it's the podcast, so you can.
Speaker 3: But I don't say that word even on the podcast.
Speaker 3: I don't say that word in my real life.
Speaker 1: Is that the word? No, no, no, no, higher up,
Speaker 1: you won't say tit.
Speaker 2: You won't say tit.
Speaker 1: No, you're a boy. It is useless as tits on
Speaker 1: a boar. Go ahead and say.
Speaker 3: That T I T t y chandelier. I've heard that phrase.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've heard that.
Speaker 3: Oh you haven't google it. There's a there are websites
Speaker 3: for just those.
Speaker 1: They're so popular. Talking about boobies.
Speaker 2: Considering mine says I love my mother and Gaelic. I
Speaker 2: hope it's not a titty chandelier.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe she was a great breastfeeder. Way
Speaker 1: when you say it sounds funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't use that term just because it's childish
Speaker 4: and like it reminds me of adolescent boys who've never
Speaker 4: been with a woman.
Speaker 1: But right I feel like I'm above that word. Wow.
Speaker 4: Okay, well you know what you probably are, uh my, uh, Well,
Speaker 4: a person I am very close with genetically has a
Speaker 4: tattoo in the rib cageal area. It is a quote
Speaker 4: from a favorite book and a comfort through the years.
Speaker 4: That particular quote.
Speaker 3: Well, someone, a female was telling me. This was after
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day. They brought up the fact that they
Speaker 3: have an ass adjacent shamrock and uh and that that's
Speaker 3: what started me on the whole. If nobody ever sees
Speaker 3: it except you know, like your husband or whatever, what
Speaker 3: is what are you doing? Is it for you? I
Speaker 3: guess it's for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's your own thing. Or it's a party trick,
Speaker 2: a party trick. Hey, look what I got.
Speaker 4: That's some party Uh. Any other tattoos you or grat
Speaker 4: Katie he as the lone tattooed member of the crew.
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of and it's also the way that
Speaker 2: it happened. We were in Hawaii. I was in high
Speaker 2: school and we just so happened to run into Nicky
Speaker 2: Six's nanny who was watching the kids while.
Speaker 4: He was.
Speaker 1: Cruise.
Speaker 2: His nanny. Yeah, he and his nanny, they were out
Speaker 2: and about, the nanny stuck around. Mom ended up talking
Speaker 2: to nanny and deciding she had to have a tattoo.
Speaker 2: That was how we ended up there. And we ended
Speaker 2: up in the shop and my mom got her dolphin
Speaker 2: that's jumping over a shamrock, which I know you've heard
Speaker 2: me say this before, but she always said is going
Speaker 2: to end up as an eel in a palm tree.
Speaker 2: And I apparently just wouldn't shut up about wanting a tattoo,
Speaker 2: and my dad said, fine, you want one so bad,
Speaker 2: let's do it. And I decided on two hearts next
Speaker 2: to each other, one filled in like the American flag,
Speaker 2: the other filled in like the Irish flag.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, no, it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a horrible idea, except for the tattoo artist did
Speaker 2: the American flag vertically so it looks like Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: The Irish and Puerto Ricans have a long history of
Speaker 4: cooperating on many projects.
Speaker 2: Right, And that's one of the many jokes that happens.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: It's just it turned into this whole thing. My dad
Speaker 2: and the second, the second that tattoo gun touched me,
Speaker 2: I came about three inches off the table and I
Speaker 2: looked at my dad and you went, nope, gotta finish.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, and it was Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was a learning lesson as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I also have a k on my
Speaker 2: shoulder in case I forget what my initials are.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like it feels like beastings, Like if you've
Speaker 2: ever been stung by a bee, just imagine that happening
Speaker 2: a lot and can kind of the heat from afterwards. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I kind of like the sleeved look on a lot
Speaker 1: of people.
Speaker 3: I don't think it would look good on me, but
Speaker 3: on some people, I think it looks really good.
Speaker 2: My dad just finished his sleeve, okay, and once they
Speaker 2: got to that elbow bone, things were not so funny anymore.
Speaker 1: He did one arm like most people do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, his whole left arm is done in the traditional
Speaker 2: Hawaiian tribal because my parents spend a lot of time
Speaker 2: over there.
Speaker 3: Oh cool, Yeah, yeah, I like the sleep thing and that, Like,
Speaker 3: but what would be the rough cost on that to
Speaker 3: get sleeved in a whole arm?
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: It depends on what you get, but I mean easily
Speaker 2: five grand, easily five thousand dollars, Yeah, depending on what
Speaker 2: you have done.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Because I have a piece on my shoulder that
Speaker 2: goes from just above my elbow up to the right
Speaker 2: to the top of my shoulder, and that was about
Speaker 2: I think eight to fifty.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've got the weird on the back
Speaker 3: side of tat two's age thing going to it just
Speaker 3: wouldn't matter. I mean, there's nothing edgy at all I
Speaker 3: could get. Whatever kind of tattoos is gonna have no
Speaker 3: effect on my career at this point or anything or
Speaker 3: my dating because I'm old.
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's just like it'd be like, what's
Speaker 1: the point.
Speaker 4: Why don't you ask Kanye West for a suggestion or two?
Speaker 1: Yeah, for tattoos. I'm well past the age of being
Speaker 1: able to make a statement that anybody would care about.
Speaker 1: So it's just like, may, what would I be doing
Speaker 1: if you showed up with a couple of neck tattoos?
Speaker 1: I think people would down face tat face tat would
Speaker 1: get attention.
Speaker 2: Yet I kind of want one of you guys to
Speaker 2: get one to see, you know, what it's.
Speaker 1: Like with my head.
Speaker 3: I could do some pretty interesting things over my noo
Speaker 3: hair and a round head. Charlie brownhadicking like the sphere
Speaker 3: in Vegas, you know, like an eyeball or something like
Speaker 3: that big eyeball.
Speaker 1: That's horrible.
Speaker 3: Wow, people consider that on the back of my head,
Speaker 3: my shaved head.
Speaker 4: It's a big iro of eyes. How about a pair
Speaker 4: of eyes? Oh, the entire face, yes, and hair and everything.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: And they got a play like your Voldemort's spoiler alert
Speaker 4: in the first Harry Potter moving hmm, very traumatic reveal.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the little person tattoo on Fantasy Island.
Speaker 1: We'll get a tattoo of him, tattoo of tattoo tattoos. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
