    finnish is hard! i'm born and raised in finland and i can't understand half of it..even tough i'm considering learning it again, for real this time.

    Yeah - I got pretty good at "Finglish" - could talk to people on the street (and in bars) well enough - was never good enough at it to have a "proper" conversation with someone who wasn't a little bit drunk though! :)

    So jealous! I'm pretty sure I'm the least literate of you folks--I've got ten years of Ancient Greek and Latin, but that's it!

    Oh see! I wish I'd been more like you and delved deeply into one and stuck with it... Instead I just dipped a toe in, dabbled a bit, and then promptly forgot most everything I'd learned!!

    I took about 1 1/2 years of Russian... was pretty good at Finnish after I'd been in Finland for awhile. Took a semester of Spanish, 2 of Greek, 1 of German, 1 of Dutch... unfortunately, I barely remember any of it!!! Can still get the gist of most romance languages in written form but aside from that all those years of language were wasted!

    Why are bad tattoos so popular?

    I have my own rule for getting a tattoo and that is that it better be meaningful to me in some way otherwise I'm just wasting money and ink. I know ppl get tattoos for lots of reasons and some get tattoos because they like a certain style, meaningful be damned.

    Meaning is 100% a construct though... my knee tiger could represent "courage", or it could be about "my relationship with my mother", or whatever... it might be just that it's pretty frkn awesome to have a big ol' tiger on my knee... the meaning in it is what I want the meaning to be. I could get a tattoo of a hairy ballsack on my thigh and decide that it represents my love of music...

    Post-tattoo blues anyone?

    Im kind of feeling this. Everytime I look at my leg, I realize it's marked forever, with a really big tattoo. I didnt really think it out that much. Not to say that I dont love it, Im enamored of it, but I feel a little bit like a took a big leap, idk how to explain it, but when I look at my leg, I finally feel really tattooed. Not like heavily tattooed, but like I feel like a tattooed person for the first time. The other ones are no bigger than my palm to my first knuckle of my hand, so they didnt make me feel like I was that tattooed. It's scary. I realize I'm going to look like this for every day of my life, until I am an old lady. And while I love my tattoos, I want to really think hard about getting any more. It is a big commitment to be tattooed. One that shouldnt be taken lightly.

    I felt kind of like this when I got my first knee done... it felt like a whole different level of commitment than the ones on my calves.

    Dropping the Bomb, how your parents found out about your first tattoo!

    My Mom has known that I've gotten "a few" new tattoos recently, but yesterday at my sister's graduation the legs made their first public debut.

    My Mom's jaw dropped when she first saw them!!

    She asked a lot of questions the big one was "are you going to get more?!?!"

    Later, my husband asked "What did your Mom think?" I told him that I thought she'd been a little bit horrified - my brother piped in from across the table "A whole bunch of other people's mom's were horrified too!!" LOL!!

    My Mom eventually said she thought they were "nice" and "colorful"...

    which I think means that she kinda hates the tattoos but loves me anyway.

    Relationships and tattoos

    I rarely see tattooed chicks. I have to go to drum n bass or dubstep shows to find even a couple of them. I swear every dude in LA under the age of 30 has at least a half-sleeve but the girls only get tiny wrists tattoos or some script or a butterfly on their rib/back. Usually a very small tattoo. You know the trendy typical "girl" tattoos?

    It's rare for me to see a chick with badass coverage.

    Visit Portland!! ;)

    In this thread, we commiserate about healing our fresh tattoos.

    Healing is going well, but getting my forearm tattooed in the summer is goddamned stupid because while everybody is out wearing shorts and t-shirts, I'm sweating it out in long sleeves trying to keep a healing tattoo out of the sun.

    skin cancer runs rampant in my family, I don't think anything but my face has seen the light of day in about 15 years!! (Ok, not really that bad!! But I am super careful about it... )
