    The hype has been around for thousands of years. I don't think its going anywhere anytime soon.

    • Yeah, but those thousands of years mostly related to Uganda. Hypes were different there.

    • well that wasn't great english, but you get the picture.

    • Where did you get that information from?Ruffian
    • From social anthropology class, I swear.
      ********
    • j/k. sort of. tattoes were widespread all over the equatorial world. Mostly it related to battles and achieving warrior status.
      ********
    • achieving manhood status in many Poli, African an NZ tribes. It was like a feat-count because they didn't write...

    • Heh, as I recall tattoos have been around in Eurasia since the stone age. Don't know about Uganda :)Ruffian
    • ... down the tribes' history on paper. Like totems. It makes that way. It doesn't make sense now. my op anyway.

    • .. experiences cannot last too long on extremely individualistic societies such as we have now in the West.
      ********
    • Look: it's a completely different experience having your chieftain or posh-king going around with the whole tribes'...
      ********
    • ...history on his back. that gave him power and authority. He was the king! But what do we care about Amy Whinehouse...
      ********
    • Jeesh, I see your point :) All the tats I have have a meaning that wont fade and are not something to flash around.Ruffian
    • ...having "Blake" carved on her boobs? It's not like it matters to anyone or makes any diff. Bad example, probably.
      ********
    • O but meanings fade, ruff... meanings fade. And that's why people painfully remove tattoos.
      ********
    • anyway, these ****ing notes were not made for conversation.
      ********
    • Good habit: writing books or love letters. you keep em for ages, but one day you burn the lot. Songs of experience.
