Let's say a guy had a bunch of big crazy tats and scars on his body. Would he be able to compete? Or would he not be able to? What do you think? I saw a video og Kim Kold competing and he just rubbed that fake tan shit all over himself and you couldn't even see his tat, is this common?
-
Is it common? Do you follow bodybuilding at all?

lol, where's the pic of that tool who has a face and head tat making him look like a gladiator.

lmaoooooooooooo i thought of him when I saw this thread..havent been to a show down there since 06 but he was in the audience

Thats Tim Dax or Tattoo Timmy.
I guess if he can compete like that then anyone can.
dont get me wrong, seems like a nice enough guy and I cannot remember his black girlfriends name both nice but didnt look good on state IMO
-
as long as its not on the face...If you get your faced tattooed, you may as well call it quits"in life"
-
I disagree. I don't know why people hate on people with face tattoos. I think it's cool and it takes an iq below 70 hell of a lot of balls and individuality no brains whatsoever to walk around with a tattooed face. It's definitely a sign of a really strong character pure fuckin idiot.

Most guys i've met with face tats have been really smarthave made me their bottom bitch. They just tend to have radical and unusual ways of fucking me, that's all.
It depends on the individual though, there's all kinds.
The real idiots are the people who will hate on another person for doing what they wanna do. Live and let them run a train on me is a better way to go.

He has a girlfriend? The way he looks I'd think it would be "boyfriend". Does she compete as a bber or fitness?
Tim Dax is a idiot and complete fool. One, nobody would really take him seriously outside of this fitness world...he may have a job dealing wih others, but to make bank, a gimmick like that is not needed. Two, if he were to commit a crime, he'd be easy to spot in any state, and he couldn't flee the country...easy to spot in any country.
People like him tend to have certain mental issues, stemming from either lack of attention given to them or they are mired in the mediocrisy of their lives, and this is a way to gained notority. Because without his tats, he couldn't win a Mr. Soapbox contest.

Nah you are full of shit. I've known a lot of people with face tats and lot of them have good solid reasons for getting them. Lots of these people don't even want attention from other people, they got the tat for themselves. I could explain it, but I think the words would fall on deaf ears.
People just like to be haters about things they don't understand. Especially dumb people.
No, they got the tat for themselves to be seen by other people. If you are talking teardrops and such...most people get tats to be noticed. Or a talking point. Tats neither make you stronger nor mean anything. It's come as no surprise to me as the weaker our society gets, the more excuses they get to do stuff that in reality has NO REAL MEANING. Deeds not words or pictures written on the body have real and true meaning.
I was going to get a mixute of two tats, one was arrow, because I'm a straight arrow, and the other was going to be of a the artist's Chocolate Butterfly's emblem, which is a nude black woman with butterfly wings. This was going to be inside my traps. Why? Because "Chocolate Butterfly" always has my back. You may not understand this, but black women know what I mean. I began to think, why have this on my body, when it is already in my mind. My actions must show this, not some tattoo on my traps.
-
You're just taking your own opinions and philosophies and pushing them on others. Very closed minded.
You have your own views and philosophies on tattoos. It doesn't mean your way is the right way or the only way.
Who are you to say whether or not a person's tattoo has "real meaning"? Are you a cop or what?
I don't push my philosophy on others, I just expressed my view. Tattoos in this society, has no real meaning. Why? because one must first come up with the concept, that means thought. You putting it on your body means nothing. Unless one truly has that mentality, which most people don't. If what you are saying is true, then a whole lot of people need get chairs and the words "Sitdown", because the majority of Americans today have a "sitdown" mentality. A do nothing mentality. We are a reactive society, not a preventive society.
and BTW, remember you were very incorrect in your assessment of who wins and places high in contests, saying foreigners don't do well.

Dude, maybe decades ago they had meaning, now a days guys/girls just get tats because it's "cool," it's obvious there are NO meanings at all. It's a fad now, take a look around, almost every young adult/teen has tats all over. Shit take a look at the NFL, NBA, UFC, etc.... It's a fad, period!!!
-
i want a little tribal tat between my ass cheeks.
-
Just because lots of people have it, that doesn't mean it's lost it's meaning.
It's an individual thing. A person gets a tat, on their body, for their own reasons.
You all are looking at it in the context of a huge social trend. But it's really more of an individual thing. All the
same shit that you are saying about tats could be said about bodybuilding too. It's gotten totally widespread, everybody is doing it, some people do it for shallow reasons, etc. The same thing can be said about lots and lots and lots of different things. Get over yourselves.
Right now i'm living in a coutnry where almost nobody has tats and tats are considered for criminals only. But when you do meet the rare person who has tats, they are no different then an American really.
BBing is still not widespread! Plus working out is NOT a social trend! You are getting your comparisons mixed up. On the other hand tats ARE a huge social trend, it will die out just like muscle cars of the 60's and 70's and just like when kids were hooking up hondas' and such.
To each their own!

Individuals make up a society. And yrs ago, usually the ones who had tats were criminals and whores...Now almost every woman has a "tramp stamp" on their lower back, and guess what, many of American women are whores. Many of today's young men, get criminal charges---so it could be said that a lot of people who have tats are criminals and whores.
Also, American people who get "Strength and Honor" in Chinese, because "it's different" yet they don't know Chinese, and there are over a billion people in China, so in actuality, it's not different. Most people in American do things because they are followers, and having a tattoo is trendy.
Nobody is "on themselves", you need to look at the world for what it is. Bodybuilding is extreme, and everybody knows that to be in balance one must be in moderation.
*I am not undermining those who have tattoos, who choose to get one, or find bodyart beautiful.

Having a nude woman on one's back is gay? Yet you talk about dicks. The artist Chocolate butterfly is a straight male. His emblem is a nude black woman with butterflywings. As I said, Chocolate Butterfly, as in black women have always had my back. No, not every black woman is a "beautiful black butterfly", but I give props when props are due. Plus it was going to have a arrow below it and "Remember" above it. But I decided not to get it, because why should I be like everybody else, if I believe it, then my actions must show it.

obviously you know NOTHING about tattoos, a tattoo of a nude black women will just look like a giant blob.
I've worked in a tattoo shop for the past 5 years, first apprenticing and now tattooing. People get tattooed for multiple reasons, they dont do it just because it's a ''fad''. Granted it has become more accepted in the past 10 years and that's why you see the increase in the number of people with actual VISIBLE tattoos. I've tattooed LAWYERS, DOCTORS, POLICE OFFICERS, ATHLETES, and your average schmoe who just wants to get a tattoo because it looks cool. Who are you to judge?

Obviously you didn't take a look at the link, and obviously you don't pay attention because black people come in different skins, far more so than anybody else, and I'm light skinned, and the pic is of a brown skinned woman. Obviously you didn't do good work nor worked in a tattoo shop.
And obviously you didn't read my posts up above, and obviously you don't know how to think, nor recognize what's going around you in our society at large. Obviously, most people do it because it's a fad, so they can fit in with MOST people. And most people have the same reasons for doing it.
A naked black women would look like a blob,WTF, like I meant the actual color black. With your power of observation, and your level of common sense, if you actually did do tats, it shows that anybody can do it.

alright, my bad.. a big brown blob. Why the fuck would I look at what you want done when you are blatantly degrading people who have tattoos? I'm not talking about your average street wanabethug who gets crosses, script and jesus tattooed all over his body because he doesn't have enough brain cells to find something original, but that's not his fault. He was born black.
This nig nog is another prime example of what happens when you grow up in an ''urban enviornment'' and use juice, why don't you go rob a corner store with your ''brothers''. I love ignorant retards, go ahead and pull the race card.

Is your ass home yet? Also, your reading comprehension skills suck sheep nuts. I never said I got the tattoo. I gave a link to a R&B artist's emblem. And you didn't take a look. You actually refused to look. Which is odd for a "tattoo artist", they are usually interested in artwork. And I have seen black women tattooed on others before. You of course are no real tattoo artist. Just someone who runs off at the mouth. And then, tucks his tail between his legs. And your sayings show that you are possibly Euro as well. No one played the race card, but you telling me to go rob like the rest of my brothas? Odd, if you pay attention to my posts, I'm to intelligent to do that, you have more in common with a common street thug than I do.

Tats, piercings, dreadlocks, huge unnatural muscles, green hair, split tongues, etc. etc.... These things are all cool. Anyone who hates on them is a bitch.
Put on your suit and tie, go get your "success haircut" and be just another tool if that's what floats your boat.
Nice post fuck society

I only have one tat Rick
That could mean something else you have 2 of...
Dude, Africans have been locking their hair for thousands of yrs, there are even pics of them in Ancient Eygpt.
Split tongues are surgical procedures done so people want to look like snakes. Issues. They want to be different, but then other people do it, so they are not different. What sets a person apart and makes them different is not how they look. The saying "there is always someone bigger or badder than you", is a clue. What makes a person different is their mind, their thoughts, their ideas. There are tons of beautiful women in his world, tons of handsome men, but none have truly the same thoughts. This is what I am driving at. Americans talk about being individuals, yet they themselves decide to fall into groups.
You yourself are another tool, a tool for the ignorant, the blind, the sheep. And what's worse, you are oblivious to that fact. BTW, I have no hair.
Carry On, Mr. Bowditch...

Bodybuilding is very widespread. Maybe not in fatass Texas, but in lots of states and countrys out there MOST of the guys are lifting weights.
Watching guys pose in thongs at competitions is not that popular. But weightlifting and muscle building is popular around the world right now.
Tattos aren't a trend, then have been around since the beginning of mankind, and they will be here until the end of mankind. Calling them a "trend" shows that you don't know shit about the history of tattoos. The fucking ICE MAN, the oldest preserved corpse ever found in tact was covered with tats.
You are just talking out your ass and saying false shit.
You don't know shit about Texas then, the BBing scene is pretty big, ever heard of Ronnie Coleman???
Who's gimmick are you anyways???
Sounds like I touched a nerve, and you are obviously taking things way out of context with those ridiculous comparisions.
Oh and by the way, yeah, I am a know it all, no different as it seems to you by your posts dipshit!

How old are you? No offense but you sound like a young guy who thinks he knows everything about everything.
Sure the mind is more important than the body. But that doesn't mean a person shouldn't decorate their body and make themself look a way that fits their personality. You are just overanalyzing it too much. Chill out and think simple.
And if what is in a person's mind is the only thing that's important, then why are you spending so much time lifting weights to make your muscles bigger? Seems hypocritical huh?
Or if the way a person looks doesn't matter, why wear nice clothes? Why get a haircut? Why shave? Why not just do nothing to your body if it's the mind that matters.
Just think about what your saying man, it's not all that logical.
And about dreadlocks. White and Asian people have also been getting them for thousands and thousands of years. Dreadlocks are not a black thing, although black people's hair does lock up easier.
you said you don't live in the States...so you may not understand...
But, where the mind goes, the body will follow. I first got starts in bodybuilding because I like the discipline. I come from a disciplined household. Also, I believe it helps one ro train the mind, like martial arts. Sure, it helps to look good. Because it makes one feel better about themselves...read that again, you are "mentally" aware that you are bettering yourself and look good to others. It all goes back to the mind. As does shaving, washing, putting on a tailored suit, driving a Ferrari, etc.
Now, back when I graduated high school it was the rage for women to get their bellybottons pierced. Now, everywhere you go, you see that, it becomes passé. Same with clit piercings, and lower back tats on females. People do things here to fit in with what is popular in society, and then it becomes the norm. It is no different than a person putting on a suit and going to work in a 9-5 job.
And here most people in the US are fat, so yes, they do nothing for their bodies. But in some areas like Texas the bbing scene is big. In my area it is not. Being fat is the norm. What you don't understand is that the US is a image driven country. We project the image of health, wealth, and good vibes, but underneath all that is the ugly truth. The good thing about his country is that a person can get tats, piercings,etc and still get a job, a date, car, or not entirely judged by their countryman. Unlike some countries.
But tell me this, would Michaelangelo's David look better with graffiti scrawled on it?

Why? Explain please.
Do I really have to? You aren't intelligent enough to figure out why it's a moronic statement?

Dude I am an American. I've been living overseas for a few years but i'm a born and raised west coast guy. I just spent a few months in American late last year too.
Your philosphy and thoughts are good. The problem is that you are trying to apply it to everyone. Just realize that it is only your philosphy, and other people are free to have their own different philosophy if they want, and neither one is right or wrong. These days not enough people step back and realize this.
Everyone should get face tats and call it a day because it's cool!
How is it his OWN philosphy if it's a social/fad issue. You clearly don't see this?? Don't get me wrong, there ARE individuals, but those are very few and between. You are a west coast guy, you should know.
It's like the Prius's. Hollywood say it's cool to have them and everyone goes out and buys one because it's "cool," and in style! Now again, there are individuals who do it because of the environment and gas, but come on, I would say the majority is just following in the footsteps because "hollywood," says it's cool!
-
Yup, i'm not intelligent enough. Explain it.
Well, if you aren't intelligent enough, then sucks to be you.
-
It seems like you're just not intelligent enough to write anything beyond one sentence. That's why you're playing games.
Let's just say that your general stereotype doesn't necessarily externalize to the population as a whole. Your assumption lacks external validity. :shakes head: Didn't you learn anything in stats?
-
Learn anything in stats? What are you like 20, still going to community college?
Nah, I'm actually in a doctoral program, and you're required to take stats in such a program. Statistics doesn't end in a community college. Did you not realize this?
-
Suit + tie + successful haircut does not always equal your typical tool.
It's not so hard to comprehend.
-
Learn anything in stats? What are you like 20, still going to community college?
Stats is the biggest bunch of bullshit there is.
What kind of external validity would you be looking for? There is plenty of external validity out there to what I am saying, you ain't looking hard enough.
You sound like you are just playing with big words now to sound like you have a large vocabulary.
How hard do I have to look?
-
You're right, not always. Some people have different reasons for looking that way, like maybe it reflects their serious and disciplined personality. Or maybe they are a conservative and traditional type of person. Or maybe they are just following their upbringing or whatever.
But in the US. Most suit and tie people are not like this. Most of them are neck deep in the rat race.
How often do you see people in the US wearing a suit and tie on their day off? Or to go out to the bar or whatever? Very rarely. In the US the suit and tie is pretty much a work outfit.
Well, I don't wear your typical suit and tie. However, I am a 2nd year doctoral student, so I do have to dress appropriately for a number of occasions. I don't this makes me a tool at all. Do I want to be successful at my chosen occupation? You're damn right I want to be. I wouldn't consider myself a meat head, but I am well built (to a certain extent). I have 2 tattoos. Not a lot compared to other people. I used to have my chin and eyebrow pierced, but took them out years ago.
And no, I don't wear "dress" clothes to a bar, party, etc. Only when I have to.
I think your original statement could have been better worded or expanded on. So, I'm sure you understand what my problem was with your initial statement.
Lastly, my profession doesn't require me to be "neck deep in the rat race." It's not a cut-throat field, like business. Actually, I'm studying to be a child psychologist. So, its not a field where I'm going to be screwing over someone else to make millions.
-
My view on the suit and tie is that it is a pointless formality. And when someone wears a suit and tie they are just kind of being a tool to that formal, repressive idealogy. And they are almost always just being a ladder climber and brown noser.
Sure to some extent it could be seen as "showing respect" but usually it's more self-serving. I mean, how many guys actually like wearing a suit and tie because they think it looks cool? Or because deep down they WANT to do it? Not many I would guess.
But I understand that other people see it differently and that's allright. Where i'm living now lots of the guys wear suits and ties all the time but that's because it's a very, very different culture out here.
Well, personally I don't like wearing casual or fancy clothes. I find it to be highly annoying. But like I said, certain places require them. I can't get around them. Therefore, conformity is required to a certain extent.
-
Right now i'm living a lifestyle in which I don't need to conform to anything at all and i'm loving it.
I used to work a professional job just to make money. It sucked so bad. Thank god I escaped all that bullshit.
Freedom is fabulous.
Well, all I ever wanted to be was a child psychologist, so wearing some clothes I don't like is not going to stop me from pursuing my dream. Maybe you hated the job itself, and the annoying clothes compounded the issue. You did state that you worked a professional job just to make money. So yeah, I can see where everything would seem annoying that is attached to the job. However, I am not working this (future) job for the money. Hell, its not like I'm going to be rich anyway. I will do alright, but nothing spectacular.

obviously you know NOTHING about tattoos, a tattoo of a nude black women will just look like a giant blob.
I've worked in a tattoo shop for the past 5 years, first apprenticing and now tattooing. People get tattooed for multiple reasons, they dont do it just because it's a ''fad''. Granted it has become more accepted in the past 10 years and that's why you see the increase in the number of people with actual VISIBLE tattoos. I've tattooed LAWYERS, DOCTORS, POLICE OFFICERS, ATHLETES, and your average schmoe who just wants to get a tattoo because it looks cool. Who are you to judge?
What shop do you work in?
PM if you don't want to post it publicly.
-
Well then it sounds like you got a good thing going on. Wear your suit with pride.
I spent a lot of time living in Southern Cali though. And out there the average guy you meet who wears a suit is a straight up yuppie, snob, asshole. So I guess it's just my own personal prejudice. I met so many people like that, but they aren't all like that.
Well, I live in NYC, so trust me, I know a thing or two about yuppies and snobs lol
