breast implants, lipo, tummy stapling,botox etc.

That is my arguement. Why are we 1 of 2 states left in 50 that it's still illeagal?
This is 2004 not 1904. Florida left this insane circle about a year ago when an artist went to the supreme court and argued that he was like any other artist. Only his art was done on skin instead of canvas. I could care less about the porno law because I can see the points made there(besides,internet kinda made that an non-issue anyway). All I'm saying is who does it affect beside yourself if you have some ink on you?

Issues with tatooing:
1. Possible allergy to the ink/dye - not pretty when it happens.
2. Though the "equipment" is cleaned between clients, have you evar noticed that the container holding the ink/dye is the same one that was used with the previous client? That is the major source of contamination/spread of contagious disease. Think about it.
3. Should you evar choose to remove the tatoo in the future, it is much more expensive and involved than getting a tatoo.
4. I have been told, though I have not yet researched the validity of this, that a tatoo on the lower back will mean that the wearer will not be able to receive an epidural. I have some doubts about this, but one of you may actually know if this is true.
5. Have you seen tatoos on older people (older than me, idiot)? Tatoos and wrinkles do not go together very well.
6. Temporary tatoos have come a long way, try them out first.

Personally, I don't care if you get one. :)

If the quality of your life is defined by your ability to get a tatoo and play the lottery, then you probably would be better off moving. I'm not saying that I am anti-tatoo or anything. It's just not a factor I would consider when choosing where to raise my family or live my life.

Let me make some counter points to yours:
1. This is why if it is made legal(like other states) you get a certification to practice witin regs. like all other health occupations.
2.same as above
3. It is the buyers choice to deal with with changing their minds on the procedure(just like breast implants).
4.medical research has proven that most operations on the body culd have adverse effects,why should tatoos be excluded based upon this point?
5. your opinion
6. Temp tats are usually pre-manufactured so that the person has a very limited choice of what they want. real tats are endless in variety due to originality.( ex. you may want to get a picture or your son or daughter,temps can't do that.)

Sirus,
Like I said, I don't care if you get a tatoo. Got for it. Just be informed.
By far, the contamination of the needle by multi-use dye/ink containers is the biggest health concern as far as the medical field is concerned. Hep C can be deadly. (Current treatment is months of chemotherapy - very nauseating) There are good tatoo artists out there who use sanitary practices. Be aware and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Yes, my statement on wrinkles and tatoos is my opinion. But can you argue? Wrinkles by themselves aren't pretty - I should know 'cause I am starting to get a few. ;)

I appreciate the concern,but I'm not talking about just me here. I am speaking about an issue that thousands of okies agree with,but the powers that be have control over.I got my first tat at 21 by my dad who used to do it all the time in the 80's. All i'm saying is that if we can regulate it in the health & safety world,then I don't see the big deal.It's surely better than these bootleg operations setup in peoples homes that most likely don't know how or don't care about safety. There's where the real danger is.

You know when I was in my lower 20's I wanted to buy a truck, slam it, throw some rims and a paint job on it, and enter it in some shows. So I did just that... spent quite a bit of money on it too.


Now I am 29, and I still own that god aweful truck. I am not into truck shows anymore, and my rims are ugly due to aging (and sitting around so much heh). Now I feel like I took a perfectly good truck and wasted a ton of money on it for no rational reason what-so-ever. I really wish I had used that money to buy Microsoft.

The funny thing about my truck is.... I can put factory rims back on it, raise it back up, and give it a solid color and it will look like I never touched it. I wouldnt be able to do the same with a tattoo, however. That is the main reason I will never put any kind of permanent art on my body. I cant imagine myself being 80 with an old faded wrinkled up tattoo on my body... I'd be disgusting enough as it is... dont need that tattoo to make things worse ;) .


I also agree with 1960, I know I wouldnt want to leave a state that still stresses some values alot of people have forgot. If you want to leave a state just so you can get a tattoo, then... well i dunno.. I dont wanna judge... but it would sure seem odd heh.

Tattoos are an outward and visible sign of profound stupidity (at least 99% of the time). IMHO. I'm glad I outgrew the urge to get one before it was too late. But ILLEGAL? hmmmmmm

TUSooner
2/12/2004, 09:30 AM
OK. maybe "profoundly stupid" is an exaggeration. But when I see a tattoo, the first word the comes to my mind is "drunk" - I figure the person was drunk when he or she decided to get tattooed or drunk when the got the tattoo or probably both. The second thing that comes to mind is, "Who is he or she trying to impress?" Lots of people I know and love have tattoos, but tattoos never send a positive message to me, anyway. Basically, I'd advise anyone I care about not to waste their time, money, or body on permanent body graffiti. End of rant.

1. Sirus - You must be very, VERY young. I'm thinking you're probably not old enough to legally get a tattoo anywhere yet. Tattoos are alright, but they ain't all that. Trust me.

2. I'm with TU. I don't see "drunk" when I see tattoos, I see "loser." Or punk. Or criminal (depending on the type/style of the tattoos).

3. I've got several myself. Of course I've never considered myself a loser, punk, or criminal, but I know others will just based on seeing my tats. It isn't right or fair, but it's truth.

4. I'm old enough to know better. If I could go back to when I was 17 and make the decision not to get my first tattoo, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Oklahoma Laws were passed a long time ago when there was a lot of problems with Carnivals having tattoo booths. People would go to the carnival and get a tattoo. The Carnival would leave town before the bandage would come off and viola, a big infected mess that often lead to amputations and death.

Under the laws of our great country, the states are allowed to regulate issues that impact on the health, safety and welfare of its citizens. Tattooing and piercings are areas of concern. Here is an article from a hepititis c website:
Tattoo and Piercing Still Risky: Hepatitis C, HIV, Infection Risks High in Body Art

Tattoo art and body piercing are popular forms of self-expression. But body art carries a downright dangerous risk of serious infection, including hepatitis C and HIV. Kids need to think twice about it. But if they're sold on the idea, at least make sure the shop is using clean needles and instruments.

"Spring break is a time when lots of young people are impulsively getting tattoos and body piercing -- and unfortunately, they're not exercising good common sense in choosing the shop where they get it done," says David Rosen, MD, MPH, a professor of pediatrics in teenage and young adult medicine at the University of Michigan Health System.

In fact, a recent study of 874 tattoo shops, beauty shops, and hairdressers in Australia—all where tattooing and piercing can be done—found that most lack knowledge of some essential infection-control principles and practices, writes Aurmporn Oberdorfer, MD, MSc, a behavioral sciences researcher at the University of Newcastle, Australia. His study appears in the current issue of The American Journal of Health Behavior.

Although HIV and hepatitis B are more likely to be transmitted through unprotected sexual activity, the viruses can be transmitted by nonsterile tattooing and piercing practices.

Indeed, it's a "buyer beware situation" out there, Rosen tells WebMD. "There are some wonderful shop operators who do a terrific job, and ones who don't. I don't think most people have ability to tell what sort of place they find themselves in. We want make sure potential clients had ability to judge for themselves."

Tattoos have other hidden health hazards, beyond hepatitis and HIV risks. Some people find out they are sensitive to dyes. In a few cases, gangrene has developed from an infection. "Also, it hurts to get a tattoo, to be quite honest," Rosen tells WebMD. "And the tattoo won't be very appealing for a period of time. Most people think it will look good right after it's done, but it doesn't."

Infection from a body piercing is fairly common, Rosen adds. Also, some people have an allergic reaction to metal that is used. One in 10 will have a bleeding complication. One in 15 will have a large scar or reaction at the site. There's also the possibility of toxic shock syndrome. If a nerve happens to get pierced, nerve damage can result. Piercing of the tongue has resulted in chipped teeth, he says.

When choosing a piercing or tattoo art studio, Rosen says, choose a place where:

Sterile supplies are used. You should be able to see the operator opening up sterile needles in front of you and throw them away afterward.
An autoclave is used to sterilize equipment is between each use. Soaking instruments in alcohol is not enough.
The operator uses fresh, disposable gloves. Those gloves should be replaced between procedures and after touching non-sterile items like money.
Inks are never to be reused from person to person.
Operators follow laws. If the state law prohibits anyone under age 18 from getting a tattoo -- yet the studio is willing to tattoo a 16-year-old -- "who knows what other rules they're breaking," says Rosen.
Also, consider the tattoo artist or body artist's talent level. "This is something that will be on your body your whole life," he adds. "Look for somebody who has some artistic flair, who will do an attractive job. Ask to see samples of their work."

With the illegal issues at hand what you have are a bunch of underground tat shops here that dont necessarily practice safe methods(new needles, autoclaves, etc.) If we made it legal then the ink slingers could open up shops and pay a specific tax to fund inspectors to make sure all shops are safe.
To a previous post....ink is poured from a large container to smaller disposable ones. Every needle doesnt get dipped into the same container.

Unfortunately, even with regulations, there people who don't practice safe methods. The disposable containers are great - if they are used as designed. The containers of ink can be a source of contamination - and most people don't even think about it.
Just like in every walk of life - there are people who follow the rules and people who don't. But customers need to inform themselves of the risks and know what to look for to prevent problems.

SBSB- I have an extremely high pain tolerance so the needles have never bothered me. I have gotten one tattoo removed already and when I get older if the others start to look well not so good then I will probably get them removed also. Yes, it is expensive to get them removed, but having them is worth it to me.

The 2 I have and the one I want are very special to me and have really deep meaning and very special memories with them. So to me it is worth it, but I understand to each his own. Tattoos are not for everyone.

The ones I have I designed myself with the help of an extremely talented tattoo artist.

In my opinion the best tattoos are the ones you design yourself, they have more meaning that way then just taking someone elses design and putting that on you.

My brother when he was in the Navy found a tattoo he really liked but he didn't want it on his body. He offered to pay the artist for it to be created on a piece of paper, but the artist declined.

I spent seven years in the Navy and somehow managed to never get a tattoo. All my friends had one and I went to the tattoo parlor many times but never had the urge to get one. Something about picking #37 or whatever of the wall was never appealing to me. It is bad enough to go somewhere and someone is wearing the same shirt as you but it is totally different that someone might have the same tattoo as you, it cheapens it to me. Maybe if I designed my own but I think I am past all of the tattoo desire.

Sexy Sooner Angel
4/7/2004, 09:04 AM
SBSB- A lot of artists won't sell you their work on paper because it can easily be transfered to a flash art or something like that or another artist can use it and tattoo on. Real tattoo artists, not ones who use flash art, take a great deal of pride in their work and never do the same design twice so each is an original. If they sell it on paper it can easily be duplicated.

I am not saying your brother would do that, but the artist just has to protect his designs.

I agree with you about not getting the flash art done. To me that is for all those people that tattoos don't mean anything to them except make them feel cool. I applaud you for never getting one of those. When you design your own it is a completly different experience with a different meaning behind it.

I had a passing desire to get one when I was in the Navy. I'm glad I didn't. I don't judge people based on tattoos or anything like that; some people I dearly love have them. But I have to admit they generally don't create a good first impression. Just MHO.

One on the right arm that I got two years ago, and haven't regretted it once... Got it the day that OU beat K-State in the 2001 season and Hybl got drilled all over the field... I can still remember watching the fourth quarter in a steak house in Independence, Kansas with my arm sore and bloody, and beginning to wonder how it would look when it was all healed... And also wondering why my buddy and his wife (who had instigated the whole thing weeks before) decided to chicken out and not get one...

I love mine, and would get probably one more... If the design seemed right...

I completely agree with you that it does make a bad first impression. That is why I usually hide mine. You can't see mine unless I am wearing something that allows them to show, which when I am working almost never happens. A lot of people are usually shocked after they get to know me and then find out I have them.

I think it mostly depends on what it is and where it is. A friend of mine from the Navy had spiderwebs on his elbows and a spider on his adam's apple. He was a really nice and freindly person but if you didnt know him you would think he was a wierdo.

Bitch of a birthmark huh?

Actually, I designed it (and the paint on the OU Harley) myself. I had a guy in Virginia do the work.

It's basically a "dedication" tattoo to Little Red. I thought it was bogus PC BS when they "baned" Little Red. So, I got a tattoo with a skull, indian headdress ala Little Red, and mountains and a sunset to depict the death of my beloved Sooner icon. Same with the Harley.

That is hilarious, because I have a similar story, probably from the same general area. While at Ft Bliss I woke up with a HORRID tattoo that I either got in El Paso or Juarez.

When laser removal came out I had it taken off. The "scarless" procedure left me with a momento on my bicep that vaguely resembles a piece of ham.

Yeah...the first thing I did after bootcamp leave was go and get inked...it was awesome. I had a tattoo party at my house about 12 years ago and that is when I got the girls names on my chest. The guy was a Marine Sgt who did killer work and all he wanted was about 20 bucks per ink job and a six pack of Corona(aka mexican ****). I tried to talk the wife into getting a really small tat in the middle of her back (mad sexy) but no go.

Wow, $20 and a six pack for a really good artist that is awesome. I think in total I have spent around a grand. Granted I get mine touched up every year so they don't fade and the artist also charged extra when I first got them for original designs. One of mine is in the small of my back that one is my absolute favorite one. I had that one worked on 4 times to get it just perfect and it's not a big one either.
