There are senseless ink n ink dat make sense...I wud hope n have faith in ma child to make d right choice

Nonso23:
Same for smoking.
No valid link with cancer yet there is a link - skin cancer.
The possibility of blood poisoning and skin damage is still there. There's no telling how the body will react to the pigments in 5 or 10 years.
Issues of needles is indeed another door to risks.
It's a big gamble with one's health.

who told you thete is no valid link between cigarette and cancer

prettythicksme:
I gat three differnt tatoo on my body and i am responsible and my guy love it

I bet some closed minded dude hates u right now! Lol.

2sExy1:
Tattoo is an African thing guys. The white man only beautified it. That's all. It's our culture as a Africans.

As someone said, some tattoo have sentiments attached to it. I almost had my mum's name tattooed on any part of my body.

Exactly! People dont kno tattoo has been in Africa for the longest time. The closed minded believe it's only acceptable when your parents okay it

ExperTrait:
am still looking for a gal with tatoos dat is decent...ones i see re sef acclaimed born again

My cousin isn't!

UjSizzle:
Careless. What if they are certain their skin can withstand the health implications (I mean the irritation)? Does that make them careless still?

I know a number of medications that come with adverse effects, and people who are familiar with the way their bodies interact with drugs do well to avoid them.

was gonna say the same thing!!

Blayze007:
Her hair looks retouched... I bet she thinks using a relaxer is natural..

mizzkeji44:
EXACTLY......
People think am irresponsible bcus i have a pin on my nose..

heatmeup:
its a different story when it is your parent that did it on you

why?? Because it my parents doing it! And I can't do what I want in myself! Yeah right.

mtcheew:
you have not seen anythin. i gave up on their mentality after i read on nl that wearing anklets shows irresponsibilty.

notice dat op has nothin against tatoos. he rather has a problem with girls who have tatoos

what ....when did I say I have a problem with girls who have tattoo I have been saying the opposite!

Nonso23:
Judging from the much I've seen: some are just barely presentable, others awkward and the rest downright disgusting.

A dark background (The African skin) has never been regarded as very suitable for artwork, only expert artists with the right eyes for colours can pull off such an artistic stunt. I'm still waiting to see an impressive work.

Hmmm! I have heard that before!

what Anklets Where What post?? Let me see the knowledge behind this!

Help a friend in need

Well I am perfectly fine with all my inches! And the girls are satisfied ..so no swapping here!!

UjSizzle:
Bleh. They just use the wrong colors....

I agree though with the health implications. Some people get an irritating rash, and others are just fine.

Exactly!!! Tattooing is not for everyone.

chikasin4:
My wife is complaining of my own that it is small why you are complaining that your hubby's own is too big. Can we swap

From somebody's advice. Lol

We Swapping dicks on nairaland now I think i am done for today!

Nonso23:
That analogy is off the mark.
A better one would be should your car dealer evade the cost of warranty requests if your car packs up for no just cause?

I am just cutting the middle man! Lol!

theorbiters:
Yo brother, not because they do it makes it right. What do they expect their children to learn?

for their children to do what they want to do in life! That's what!!

Nonso23:
That they require you to speak to your dermatologist and shirk responsibilities for any skin damage caused by their work infers that they acknowledge the dangers inherent in the procedure.
That is enough red light.

do car manufacturers claim responsibility if you get in an accident?? I don't think so

MarthaK:
I meant adding unnatural things to one's body...
Wetin be ur own na?

hahahah!! So now you want to be specific! Nail polish is unnatural!! Go use chewing stick instead of a tooth brush!! Since you want to be all natural.

theorbiters:
Who told u they are responsible? Was it written on their face? And as for those married women, what are they expecting their children to learn from them? Tell me, how wud u feel if ur kid comes back looking like Lil Wayne and says his role model is rick ross? Oh, is that wen u will believe that one old woman is after ur life abi? Pls, it is irresponsible people that do that. And what is that rubbish of them drawing tattoo because dey want to remember someone or something? It means their brains are no longer functioning. These days ehn, we see rubbish and still say it is gold

listen! I have known them for a long time as a couple and individually I have know them longer. They are perfectly happy and very responsible! They have a tattoo of their names on each other. They are different levels to this tattooing ish! Don't judge a book by its cover. I can also respect your opinion to if that's how you feel.

Nonso23:
Allergies, skin cancer, blood poisoning and certain infections have little or nothing to do with the expertise of the tattoo artist.
They are simply the body's refusal to adapt to the new art embedded in the skin. A dermatologist would know better.

Most of our girls (the subject of this thread) get their tattoos in Nigeria. I don't know of any license in place to sift the quacks from the qualified so it's safe to assume that they are taking a dangerous gamble with their health.

a proper tattoo artist will suggest you talk to your dermatologist before you sit on thier chair and if they don't! They may tell you they are not liable for any skin disease to a certain degree!

Sheenor:
As for me, i have no problem @all wit 'em......besides, i do admire gurls wit tattoo alot.....

Lol! Thank you!

MarthaK:
No

Okay! Have you had ya nails polished, skinned bleached, Hair shaved, brush your teeth, cut your nails? If yes? That's artificial!!

kendrick93:
implication? pls stop sayin things u don't know.. if it has an implication then why do see footballers,celebrities,rich and poor still doin it.. .rubbish

Thank you!! ...some people go get their tattoos from some danvo driver and get some skin disease and then come here and say it's bad. Lmaoo!

MarthaK:
I don't

girl! Who are u kidding?? You wanna tell me you have never had weave put on before??

Nonso23:
Not necessarily.
There are allergies, infections, blood poisoning as well as possible skin cancer to worry about.

Exactly! When you get this done by someone who doesn't kno what they are doing then you have these problems to worry about! In the states, us and Canada! I am sure you have to be licensed and screened by the government to even think about setting up shop! I can't speak for nigeria tho!

MarthaK:
Anything artificial is wrong!

Lol! And that's why you wear weave and make up??

Nonso23:
I would consider anybody with tattoos careless and myopic.
There are long term medical/health restrictions on people with tattoos; leaving out the health implications and risks inherent in the tattooing procedure.

Take a cue from C. Ronaldo. I don't like him but I can't deny that he's got his head screwed on right regarding this issue.

And to be honest, tattoos don't look nice on the average African skin.

what health implications? ?? Getting it done by a bad tattoo artist is the only implication I can think of!

Missmossy:
Nigerians and the way they reason...smh.

Does that mean u agree or nah??

mizzkeji44:
EXACTLY

I bet if she got his name on her body he will be perfectly fine with that

Blayze007:
Couldn't have said it better.

I dont see nuttn wrong with some tatts on a babe. Tatts dont define the person.

Thank you! That's all I am saying.

ExperTrait:
oboi, e mata die, dats to tell u hw far she has gone.

I kno there are hoes and prostitute with tattoos! But it's bad to assume that there is a high chance that the next girl u see with one is a hoe!
