Well okay... I guess it’s not a real MOC, (I wasnt sure what news group to use.)
AND maybe it’s NOT really even ~MY~ latest MOC... but actually the chick at the
tattoo shop “second” MOC... (Since she already did both my red one, and now the
new green and blue ones.)
BUT I am taking credit for it, since I am the one that bled for it.
I decided to get done just minutes before BrickFest, and there have been a few
pics posted of from that event, but here it is in all its glory.... without the
scabs... (charming eh??)

Spotlighted. But I can’t really thank you for sharing this one, Janey. I think
this sort of thing (especially that you publicised it soo much(1)) is bad
press for the AFOL community at large.
Tattoos are an adult activity, and carry some significant health risks and
various social stigmas as well.
By posting (or was that ‘boasting’) about your tattoos here – on a family
friendly forum - you have, perhaps unwittingly, encouraged young people to get
tattooed. In many areas, tattooing is illegal on non-adults. Tattoo parlours are
dens of iniquity, where wide eyed youth, intent on getting a tattoo of a simple
brick or their favourite Bionicle could come face to face (or face to other
parts of the body) with drug dealers, motorcycle gang members, and even drunken
sailors.
You are a cool builder, Janey. Your micro work rocks. You have a strong fan
following, which may well follow your example and be tattooed. But will they go
to a parlour which uses sterile needles and follows good health practices? Or
will they go to some undesirable part of town, unaccompanied, and bare their
shoulder (or worse) to some tattooed ‘artist’? If they do, do you take
responsibility for encouraging them to this ‘choice’?
You posted your tat post healing. Why not show the young and impressionable what
it’s like whilst it is healing? It’s not all fun and bright colours. Why not
tell them the risks? Search the net for some pics of tats gone wrong, and post
them too.
As your post clearly showed, tattoos are addictive. Imagine if some kid starts
with a simple Bionicle tat, but his interests move on to technic, so he adds a
1x8 technic brick and a gear or two, and then he gets into mindstorms, so adds
an RCX, and then moves on to trains (adds a Santa Fe Super Chief) and then to
historic 1960’s sets and so on. A body disfigured for what? Will you comfort him
when girls reject him? Will you give him a job when employers reject him?
And you justify your post by saying “At least it’s Lego related”?

|
Richie, i think this is a matter of opinion and this lugnet being one of the
freindliest places on the internet; your negativity, i find; is unwelcome. If
people want to go out and adorn their person with art that expresses themselves,
so be it. Some AFOLs express themselves through LEGO art, i believe some should
be able to do it in any way they see fit. Do you want us all to live in a
closet? Never to express even our opinions to anybody else ?
| |
Tattoos are an adult activity, and carry some significant health risks and
various social stigmas as well.
|
Again richie, this is your narrow opinion. Im sure you could not denigh the
thousands of pacific islands childern who earn the painted status of family and
heritige on their skin as young as 5 years old. I think you will find all
cultures at one point painted their skin for one reason or another and many
still do it today.
| |
By posting (or was that ‘boasting’) about your tattoos here – on a family
friendly forum - you have, perhaps unwittingly, encouraged young people to
get tattooed.
|
I call it expressionism, Richie.
Im sure this “Family Friendly Forum” is just that. To reinforce that I encourage
anybody who is concidering purchasing a tattoo, to discuss this with their
family. These are the points i feel you neglect in your contributions to this
forum Richie.
| |

parlours are dens of iniquity, where wide eyed youth, intent on getting a
tattoo of a simple brick or their favourite Bionicle could come face to face
(or face to other parts of the body) with drug dealers, motorcycle gang
members, and even drunken sailors.
|
This opinion is also of concern. Isn’t it likely kids are exposed to such things
as drugs in schools, sporting gyms or their friends house ? As a concerned
parent i believe a registered business, paying tax, run by people who vote could
not nessesarily be a bad place. I would be more concerned if my son developed a
liking for Bionicle. I think your comment about motorcycle gangs and sailors is
a terrible stereotype and a poor show of respect for those who serve our
country and are risking thier lives right now so that we can enjoy our (Adult or
Child)FOL way of life.

|
I think you have jumped the (tattoo) gun Richie. Everybody is respocible for the
content of this community but again i see it is your contribution which is least
helpfull. I agree Janey may have neglected to offer guidance for those trying to
identify a reputable Tattoo studio, but your post has suggested nothing further
and simply put an attack on somebody trying to express themselves. You Richie as
a member of this community bere as much responcibility as anybody else for the
content of this place and you should not “wipe your hands of it” and start
making accusations.

|
I choose not to show the “impressionable what it’s like” as i beleive this is a
matter best suited to the discussion with a parent. As a peer/role model to this
community Richie, don’t you think you could have helped identify the risks for
those you think may be “encouragged” into getting a 2x4 painted on thier person
? Not just leave them in the dark only lit by the persistant candel of a flame
war !

|
I need some clarification here please.
Firstly on your point “and then moves on to trains” Is this a natural
progression or propoganda ? Secondly, please identify what the problem is with
having an RCX tattooed on ones self ? Disfigurement is again your opinion. It is
not up to you to critise somebody who has a historically accurate record of ones
own interests. Are you also critisising the process of documenting time ?
Your comments about girls and employers are not constructive. I find them
chauvinistic (remember Janey is a girl) and discriminatory. Im sure Janey didn’t
have to show her skin to get the job she has !

And you justify your post by saying “At least it’s Lego related”?

Fair enough, Richie's post was perhaps a little bit long-winded, but I really
don't see anything there that could be described as "(*(^&$$*&^%^(*)_*, )(&
)*)(&^&*^&$". Yes, I suppose it could even be called negative, but only in that
he raised some concerns that he may take very seriously, but the post was well
reasoned and not in any way viputerative from my reading of it.
I'm not sure how your post adds value to the discussion though. Please be a
little more specific as to what your actual concerns are. A string of gibberish
is not a compelling argument. At least Steve Dunn had the decency to respond
with his own well reasoned arguments, if a little long-winded again.

How dare you show your bra-strap, you jezebel! Don’t you know you’re
encouraging young girls to run out and purchase supportive undergarments,
without any concern to what might happen to them? The perils they might
encounter are legion: disreputable sales clerks pulling the old
bait-and-switch, elbow throwing matrons ready to trample them during blow-out
sales, and lets not forget cross-dressers. At least you could have done some
research and included pictures of what could happen when things go wrong...you
know...snapped under wires....improperly labled cup sizes or cheap eastern
European “super-fabrics” that cause rashes that can only be cured with
prescription strength salves.
You do a disservice to all the young female Lego fans who just want to enjoy a
special time in a girl’s life.
Oh, yeah, and what about all the young boy’s you just gave impure thoughts to
with that careless bra strap!

believe is based on this post. Now, my
friendly taunt(s) directed toward Steve Dunn were based on
this post, in the same
thread.
Hope that’s clarification enough of the fact that this entire thing was a
wonderful joke.

Persist and I will have LUGNET admins curtail your privledges.

From the ToS of LUGNET:
(do not) Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the discussion groups.
;-)
Of course, the same ToS states:
(do not) Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous,
defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent information of
any kind, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or
encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil
liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international
law.
But... IIRC, banter and smack talk do not fall under this category....

I firmly believe minors and adults should be kept apart on this forum due to
issues like this.

Does it say anything to that effect in the ToS? Why would you want to keep us
apart? IMHO by the very nature of this hobby(2), not letting KFoLs, TFoLs and
AFoLs mix around inhibits the free exchange of thought and ideas.

Find more constuctive things to do with your time young man, hang around with

I have finished today a beauty of a diesel that had been lying
almost-done, for some
months now. I’ll probably take pics tomorrow. I’m not going to say anything
about whatever has come after that comma, because all the maturity in the world
that you posess
certainly hasn’t helped your sentence construction.

Actually, as he has said, he is 17. In the UK certainly, that would make him not
a minor (for a lot of things anyway*, confusing world that it is :) )

Age-ism? Or smacka-lacka? YOU make the call!
I kinda like the interaction amongst different ages, really...I've learned quite
a bit by watching the unrestrained creativity of our youngers. So, I'm thinking
this was meant as smack.
But if this was meant in all seriousness, then your thoughts smell like the
backroom of a disreputable tatoo parlor bent on turning our decent MOC-makin'
teen population into ink-covered likers of drunken sailors and motorcycle gang
members who get rejected by girls.
>

This must be a 'turn of phrase' in common useage, methinks. Cause I don't get
it.
Just have some fun, already, e! (hoping I didn't misspell your initial)

Eric made similar threats toward me awhile back. After consulting with folks
who were, at the time, LUGNET admins, I determined that his threats were
entirely empty.
And even if he had gone so far as to call my parents, I imagine they would have
laughed at the concept of a 35 year-old man getting so bent out of shape because
of the “antics” of a teenager... not to mention the creepiness factor of a 35
year-old man tracking down the phone number of a teenager, and the possible
legal ramifications of such actions...
Through my communications with other folks about said emailed threat, I also
came to the conclusion that it simply isn’t worth it, that is, trying to
communicate with a man who clearly seems to have issues beyond a punk kid
getting on his nerves. Especially one who for some reason views his extra 20
years as a clear indication of his superior reasoning skills and maturity, when
numerous posts could be cited to the contrary.
So Samarth, keep building, keep posting, and keep it fun!

As your post clearly showed, tattoos are addictive. Imagine if some kid
starts with a simple Bionicle tat, but his interests move on to technic, so
he adds a 1x8 technic brick and a gear or two, and then he gets into
mindstorms, so adds an RCX, and then moves on to trains (adds a Santa Fe
Super Chief) and then to historic 1960’s sets and so on. A body disfigured
for what? Will you comfort him when girls reject him?

Chicks dig tatoos, man.

Will you give him a job

Always get tattooed in a place you can cover!

I think it goes double for you, eric. I was quite enjoying this thread until you
stormed in in all your jack-booted glory. Frankly, Samarth's contributions to
this thread have been entirely harmless compared to yours.
But, to your credit, you seem to be in a more sensible mood now. The pendulum
has swung back again.

Just how many times are you going to promise this before you actually do it?
I've been following lugnet for only three years or so, but i can recall several
instances of you flaming someone or crying your little heart out, only to
apologise a few hours later and promise to be more constructive. I gotta tell
ya, this time, I ain't buying it.
> This place has got to start getting better.
'This place' exist purely as a result of people posting messages. If {you} want
'this place' to get better, the responsiblilty lies solely {with you}. Your
posting history is at least as bad and far, far worse than the vast majority of
the lugnet membership. So, perhaps, before hitting the 'post' button on such
'ogrish' posts, you should consider a policy of sleeping on it first, or at
least waiting until you come down from whatever it is you've been inbibing.
Note - I'm not trying to tell you what to do here. God forbid I do that!
Personally I find your particular brand of lunacy quite entertaining, but since
you seem to be apologetic about what you posted (again), I'm just suggesting a
way you might find will make your posting life a lot easier and less prone to
such emotional yo-yoing. I'll leave it between you and you conscience as to what
you do.
Cheers,

Add to that the phone number of someone in another country (which is what my
case would be) and things really start sounding weird, don’t they? LOL.

Ah, but if he were English, he would have to ask his mum for permission to
marry... us Scots are a little more liberal in that respect.
If he were English, he’d also not want me to say this:

Potentially better than:

"So what's behind that closed door over there?"

Richie, I am very sorry I blew up on you. I didn't realize you were goofing

At that point I really had it up to (there) with the antics of jlugs.
