And so I am going to get a Toughbook tatoo this weekend... It's happening...

Just an FYI. I mentioned it about 2 years ago, but never followed through... Me and 2 buddies are going this weekend to get tattoos.

I will get the following: http://www.panasonic.com/business/toughbook/img/toughbook-logo-175px.gif

Pictures will follow!

P.S, I am that crazy to all who still don't know me...

 

So you'll be a walking advertisement. I guess you're a very dedicated company representative.

 

Since your not a laptop how about this instead

 

Dood... just remember.

In 60 years, this: :yes:



Will look like this: :confused2:




And I don't know for sure, but it's entirely likely (Given the way technology is moving and how fast) that in 50 years, nobody will even know what a Laptop ever WAS.

You would be like... a guy with a tattoo of the world's best-made Buggy Whip manufacturer's trademark on him.

Of course, by suggesting that it might not be the best idea, I've probably just guaranteed that Rob will do it. :wink:

 

Make sure the artist can spell.

touchboob????????????

The women folk MAY not understand.

 

But first let them throw YOU against and a wall and drive a truck over you and see if you deserve the label.

 

Hey. Maybe I'll get a thinkpad tattoo. Then when I'm 70, people can ask me what a thinpad is. What do you think?

 

I still can't get my head around the concept of permanent disfigurement as a form of self expression, but then I don't wear perfume or jewelry either, so I might be out of touch.

 

each to his own taste.. what rob decides to do is up to him! i personally have and like tattoos as long as they feel right to the owner of them..

Go Rob, will be awesome..

 

A Tattoo is hardly disfigurement.

 

For all the simpsons fans out there

 

I'm sure that in 50 years NO ONE will know what a "Toughbook" is... HOWEVER, I forever will think back to the "Good ol' days" because of the tat... I will also think about how I made a GOOD living doing it

Wish me luck! It's happening! I'll get some videos too maybe...

 

And there is a dam good chance you will have your toughbook still to show them because they will still be working, lol.

 

Hell Yeah! Come check out my cool VAX Tattoo sometime!

 

You're absolutely bonkers, mate. That's for bloody sure. But we all are, so no harm done.
Cheers

 

Very well said! I printed this and hung it on the wall.

Where's it going?

Not a Tramp Stamp we assume.....

Location is everything...

I've always wanted a tat of a $100 bill......if you knew how my

NM....

Have fun, as they say, this thread is worthless without pics, right?

 

Permanently changing your skin isn't disfigurement?

disfigurement - the act of damaging the appearance or surface of something

 

"Damaging" is a pretty VAGUE term... and opinionated...

I was thinking my shoulder. Meaty portion of my arm hurts less too

 

Nice Rob, a real Toughbook fanatic! How about the lower back of your neck
about 5-6inches long? I've got a few tats myself and will be getting more. You
did give me a good idea.

And whats with all this disfigurement/damage crap? If you don't like tats, don't get one. So then junkfood, beer, cigarettes fastfood ect. is also disfigurement, only thats on the inside????

Can't wait to see the new ink Rob so hurry up with them pics!

 

Just don't get it on your chest. My father-in-law had a ship on his chest. After open heart surgery, the two sides of the hull did not match!! But, on a positive note, the ship did not sink!

 

That's good HUMOUR buddy.

o.g.

 

You could get it on your schlonger This way the "happier" you get the longer the tat gets. The downside is if you don't ever get happy all you will see is a P.

Rob, you are one sic pup

 

TOYO, you are disgusting! LMAO! I wonder what my wife would say... Hmmmmm LMAO!

 

As long as she can read closeup

 

I'd say she'd be far more interested in Toughbooks than she is now.

 

Face tat or you're not a true believer.

 

short answer - no

A 'damaged' appearance is really an opinion... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you want to get technical tattoo's only initially 'damage' your skin in the same sense that skinning your knee does. What makes it ever-lasting is ink that's injected under your skin. Depending on who you talk to that ink actually enhances the appearance of the individual.

It's fine if you don't like tattoo's, but that's your opinion and nothing more.

 

I never said I didn't like tattoos, only it's disfigurement of the skin. Ear piercings and body piercings are too. I think What Rob's doing is a little odd and may regret it later, but that's his life and decision to make.

 

Hey we all do things that we regret later...it's called live and learn . I was married once...I learned...not to get married again that was 18 years ago.

 

That's an awful pessimistic view on marriage, mate. Just because it went pear shaped once, doesn't mean it will again.

I know a bloke who divorced twice and he's been married to his current wife for nearly twenty years now.

 

Careful Blair, I was married for 16 years the first time, single for 20, and now have my 10th anniversary coming up. You're getting close to the danger zone!

He used " I" in his statement. Not you or we. Personally this " I" agrees with him.

 

"I" was married for ten years too, then she left me and this world, permanently. But what does this have to do with a Toughbook tattoo?

 

He means this:

 

Rob... So where is the tat?

 

I decided to get two tattoos months ago, and i still haven't worked up the courage to do it.

Give the bloke some time, will ya?

 

Pics Rob we want pics!!!

 

It really must have turned out as "Touchboob"

 

Dollars to doughnuts he chickened out

Or had a little too much "liquid courage" beforehand and is still passed out on the living room floor.

 

That's what I was thinkig too :wub: :wub:

 

Or maybe a little too much of this:

 

definition: "Chickened out".........refers to an event in which the individuals common sense overcomes their intention to perform an impetuous act. Rate of "chickening out" increases with an individuals age and proximity to hazardous equipment.

 

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: God he is going to kill us when he gets back on line

 

I wonder about "common" sense. Common refers to what most people have. From what interaction I have with the "common" people. Sense is never what I would describe them as having.

 

common sense 
noun
sound practical judgment that is independent of specialized knowledge, training, or the like;

.
Origin:
1525–35; translation of Latin sēnsus commūnis, itself translation of Greek koinḕ aísthēsis

As we see common sense is a two word noun.

See Common Sense by Thomas Paine.

The polar opposite is "crazier than a hundred head of sheep". coined by my Uncle.

"Crazy as a Sh*thouse rat" would sum up my take on getting a corporate logo tattoo. You don't EVEN want to know what I think of getting your SO's name tatted on.

 

That's why i tattooed her name in Binary... That way if things go south i can just tell everyone it means something else.

 

Hahahahaha.. Priceless!
