2500 yo tattooed lady

[Sld1959]

Interesting piece on tattoos found on a 2500 yo woman mummy from Russia. One ponders if they were status symbols as some groups today have, gangs , prison etc, or if they were strictly decorative.

2,500-year-old Siberian 'ice mummy' had intricate tattoos - BBC News https://share.google/RgzM22CY3zjICijRD

The drawings look very well done and intricate. And look to have taken many hours to accomplish.

I have always thought of tattoos but never could decide on something I want permanently on me. Hell I cannot even wear the same watch all day, or carry the same handgun or knife day after day. I think I come up with somethibg and before I get there think hmmm nah that won't work.

I have mostly avoided tattoos because they cost too much... and the 1 free one i was offered i couldn't hang out long enough to get it because of work...

The tattoo i want is a bar-code on the back of my neck that can be scanned and read by store clerks but picking the right bar-code has/would be the tough choice...

Hmmm I worked with bar codes and laser printers a lot in IT for manufacturing. Not sure how well a person with a needle could print the bar code lines into a precise enough pattern to be read correctly. Interesting idea, if its possible.

I worked in retail and i'm a sci-fi nerd so that tattoo fits a few things for me and was/is a small part on why that tattoo never got done...

It might be possible, but I know the line sizes, spacing, and both stop and start characters must be precise to be number one, read, and number two say what you wish to have it say. There are a number of different bar code types too. It was part of my programming design to print out barcode label for lot control for the automotive industry.

I will have to look into this now thst i sm curious lol, interesting possibility.

Lordy!
Keep quiet about THAT idea. If the wrong administration gets wind of it…. Ugh.

I guess from a quick look it is possible, but has some downfalls. It has to be precise to be read so it sounds like weight loss or gain, or skin blemishes can possibly effect its readability in the future.

I've never wanted a tattoo. I've put more than enough marks on my hide by accident to be adding any on purpose.

I like the bar code idea -- what would mine say? Kiss my fat fanny would be my first choice. Another idea would be QR codes -- dang, you could send someone to a site that would make a sailor blush.

My scars have stories.

For me, a tattoo just says, "I got drunk and sat in a chair for an hour."

I have many. I was never drunk for any of them though. In fact most reputable tattoo artists won’t do you if you’re drunk.

Operative word is "reputable" right?

Unless you don’t mind them looking like prison tattoos.

This. I made enough unintentional skin modifications and have the scars to prove it

I want a my little pony tattoo

I thought this would be a news clip that Diane Feinstein got a tattoo.

 

[last2brake]

Since Pelosi hasn't completed the embalming process yet, we'll go with Feinstein

You can throw about all them demonrat women in there, Hillary, Pocahontas and so on.

Thanks. That's good to know.

Since alcohol can affect clotting factors, I could see the wisdom of not drinking before or after.

I confess, I took literary license elsewhere, also. Not ALL tattoos are done in one hour, either.
