I have a question, if anyone can answer...

Why is tattoos/tattoo artist disliked on this site? Or why is my posts being deleted because of me stating that I put up new photos of my work? Just wondering, not out for an argument at all, and do not mean to offend anyone one bit!

 

This site is not about tattoos!

 

Its about cars 64 and down,Only car questions and posts .........

 

While many on the HAMB have tattoos, myself included, it is not the focus of the forum. This is a traditional hot rod and custom forum, not a Kustom Kulture forum.

 

Oh no!! I totally understand!! My post was about the new photos I posted up about my 51' chevy's progress photos most of all, and I just added that I also put some of my tattoo work too as well.. and my whole post got deleted :-/

 

I went to a tattoo site and put up pics of the 265 chevy I just rebuilt and they deleted it...go figure

 

Miss rabbit
I think tattoo and tattoo art lends itself better to a hot rod culture site than to this site.

What you may do and this is just 'bean thinking not a definate this will work or is the way to do it, is try ppsting in the friday art show. Mayhaps it will be better accepted in the designated art thread than in a thread of its own.

That said I wouild like to see your work if you have it in your album or the like. Link me by PM.

 

Ha yea go figure

 

What they said....car site, not car culture site......I'm tattooed, I come here to post about, and learn about cars.

 

Hhmmm?

 

do your tattooes depict traditional hot rods or customs? If not, that could be why they're being deleted. In spite of the fact that many denizens of this site (the HAMB) are festooned with ink, this is a traditional hot rod/custom car site, restricted largely to those cars (US mfrs) made prior to 1965 (some overflow is allowed assuming retention of style/design/series, ie: 64/65 Chevelles). Tattooes were not really a part of that scene, but are considered a modern iteration of individuality (this uniqueness tends to fade with the spread of the fad). Nonetheless, if you are not part of the 'traditional' hot rod/custom car scene, but are merely here because some of our members/adherents sport tattooes, then you're missing the point of the forum and you're not furthering the appreciation of the car culture of the dented time period.

I like that word "festooned." Just don't hear it much anymore. Cool

 

What about traditional tats?
I haven't sensed any bad vibes McPall and Moriority (spelling) have lots of tats and they hang here I don't see a problem unless you spam your wears here.

 

You mean this one? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=591354
the thread is still there and it doesn't have anything to do with cars

 

Well, As I see where you are coming from, I am myself a owner of a 51' Chevy pick up... which you will see in my profile. Im not here to just dangle in the shadows and praise upon other people who build cars, because I am one. I have done many pieces in tattooing that relate to car clubs/car parts or pictures of cars... its just how I connect my self with it. Thats all.. But I will not make a note of my tattoos or any idea of tattoos into my posts... I have just been asked by many many folk to post pictures of my tattoo. When I first joined onto HAMB my first initiative was to learn and get my questions answered about anything I needed since I am still learning..Not to use this site as another branch in marketing myself as an artist.

 

Are they starting threads about their tats?

 

Should be cool in the art show

 

Some people are just plain clueless.

 

Then...welcome aboard - tattooes are obviously acceptable...just not the focus. Post up some pix of your AD pickup...

First thing I did was to go to her albums and looked at her work. It was my decision and if I felt I had wasted my time it was on me. Let's be a little easy on her, it took me a little while to figure out exactly how things work around here. Gotta kinda give everybody a second chance. I just checked her introduction thread and did notice that nobody warned her about off topic threads. I usually try to do that, but I didn't on hers. Probably went to dreamland picturing hot chicks and old cars. However I did notice someone asked if she had a link to any of her work. Being new here she might have thought that meant someone wanted to see her work and thought she was doing something good by posting it. Ease up people, cut a little slack for the new peeps.

 

Sorry to tell you this but these guys are right. This is not a Kar Kulture site. I am into the Kulture myself and I love tattoos and R@# Rodz, but the wishes of the moderators and the majority of the members is to only allow traditional hot rods and customs. So I am willing to follow the rules because everything this site has to offer (parts, tech) helps me build the cars that I like.

 

There must be other Sites out there, where you can post about Tats, the best hair products for the perfect pomp, how many inches of cuff on your jeans is historically accurate, and what kind of shoes to buy to complete the perfect lifestyle outfit.


But it isn't here...


( Edit. BTW, I didn't delete the Thread.
I'm just answering the question...)
