Would you tattoo a politician's image on your body?

[Stand and Fight]

Apparently, some people are doing that, and I have to say that I really don't get it. I love my wife a great deal, and I've had lovers that I have loved deeply as well. However, never once have I ever wanted to tattoo their name -- much less their visage -- anywhere on my body. So, please can someone explain to me why someone would get a tattoo of a politician?

1. Is that a Trump Stamp

and a Sanders Pander?

[BlueCaliDem]

29. Hah!

[Historic NY]

2. nope

[Stand and Fight]

5. Added a poll. Me too.

[DemonGoddess]

3. nowayinhell

[Stand and Fight]

7. Added a poll. Same goes for me. Not gonna happen.

[liberal N proud]

4. When idol worship consumes people, they do insane things

I make a practice to have no hero, they can't let me down.

[Stand and Fight]

8. I'm in the same boat. I added a poll. n/t

[Her Sister]

6. Only if I thought he/she was God!

or something! BTW am atheist, so no can't do!

[Stand and Fight]

9. I'll send you a pic of myself then... KIDDING!!! I added a poll to the post.

[CalvinballPro]

10. These are the reason that blackout tattoos were invented. Sure, you end up with ink-colored skin

but you can cover up any dumb decisions without having to go through with removal.

[Stand and Fight]

11. I couldn't see doing it for anyone. No need to have a blackout tattoo. lol

[metroins]

12. Maybe

You can always tattoo over them or get them removed.

If I was getting paid 500k or could use it to make 500k, I might.

[Stand and Fight]

38. So, what you're saying is "#FeelTheEarn"? n/t

[metroins]

43. Lol

That made me laugh.

[DesertRat]

13. Well at least they are job creators

Think of all the tattoo removers who will get business once the election is over.

[NurseJackie]

19. Oh, ain't she classy?

[SharonClark]

27. She sure is.

[Haveadream]

14. Oh, my word

That baby Donald is disturbing! Who are these people? How is this not a mood killer?

?itok=Kzv5onDY

[DesertRat]

16. Those are just awful

Some young people don't understand that skin stretches and sags as years go by. Those tats won't just be irrelevent, they'll look hideous.

[Stand and Fight]

18. I can't even... Not gonna do it.

[johnp3907]

15. I wouldn't tattoo anything on anyone's body.

[NurseJackie]

17. No. But if forced to ...

... I'd choose a dead one. Lincoln? JFK?

Remember that kook that tattooed the Romney Aqua Fresh stripes on his face?

[Stand and Fight]

21. My wife and I were talking about this... Maybe sports figures too.

[johnp3907]

22. Yeah.

23. Yeah... Agreed.

I could possibly understand a campaign logo for historic campaigns. No names or faces though.

[DJ13]

24. W on my ass?

Not even then!

[3catwoman3]

25. Oh, hell no.

No tattoos - not my kids' names, not any departed pet's paw prints, not our anniversary date, no flowers, shooting stars or butterflies. I can't even think of one I would want, even if i were so inclined.

[Stand and Fight]

42. Yeah. I just keep a sketch book. Draw things in it. Safer and it's not branding myself! n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

26. No. No.

to the poll. Actually I have an almost pathological aversion to needles of any kind, so I would never willingly get any tattoo.

[Stand and Fight]

41. You and me both. I keep hoping something will be invented that does away with needles! n/t

[Walk away]

28. I bet if this poll was posted on "The Other Side"....

you'd get a few takers. Maybe some who have already gone all in!

[Stand and Fight]

33. I hope not. Some of the lurkers must have surely seen it.

I don't go outside this area though, because I try not to have any bad blood. Some of them may not make an effort to be civil, so it's best just to avoid them all.

[Walk away]

46. They come right here and get me all of the time!

Their days are numbered!

[Raissa]

30. I have several tattoos...

I get them to signify important moments in my life.

However I rarely see a tattoo of a person that doesn't look bizarre and creepy. I'll stick with my symbolic tattoos in locations that can be covered as needed.

[mopinko]

32. yeah, if you can do good portrait tats, you get the big bucks.

lots of tat artists are artists in name only. they try to copy photos, but if you dont have the experience of drawing from life, you really cant get it right.

[Stand and Fight]

35. On that note, I have to say that the Bernie one above does look pretty good. Just sayin'.

[mopinko]

37. yeah, i like it, too.

[Raissa]

44. Agreed

Artistically speaking it's well designed and colored.

I've seen some fantastic portrait tattoos in magazines, but any that I've seen in person has been cringe-worthy.

[Stand and Fight]

45. Same here. Whoever did that one actually has some considerable talent.

Still wouldn't ink up my skin for it, but I like the details that went into it. It's not overly done with too many shadows to cover up mistakes or too many details in things like the hair. Reminds me a bit of Manga.

[Walk away]

48. It'll be laser time after the NYS primary!

It doesn't matter if it artful....the content will be a joke. ouch

[lunamagica]

31. No way. This idol worship is sickening

[Stand and Fight]

40. It is a bit much in my opinion. It's their skin though. n/t

[mopinko]

34. i might consider an obama tat.

maybe the logo, not so much his face. i worked hard to get him elected, and i am proud of what he has accomplished.
but someone who is just a candidate? no way.

[Stand and Fight]

36. That's what I was saying earlier. The logo is nice and his election is historic. n/t

[wysi]

39. Dear lord no

I have no intention of ever getting a tattoo, but if I were to be persuaded, it sure wouldn't be a politician's face.

[geek tragedy]

47. I've got a mean Mike Gravel on my left arm nt
