Getting a "pimp" tattoo doesn't make you classy, intelligent, or rich. It just makes you pathetic. Money isn't what makes people cool or interesting. Money isn't a reason for arrogance.

Besides, even if you want admire or want to be like the people listed above--you're not. I mean, you don't have the millions of dollars, even!

To me, someone is not "the shit" (or what have you) unless they're an ALL AROUND awesome person--talented, fun, non-arrogant, and classy. Your idea of what makes people "the shit" is obviously some weird characteristic you define both as being a "pimp" and having money.

Let me say this:

I go to one of the most upperclass, rich, classy (yes, and sometime arrogant--thus my hatred of arrogance) schools in the nation. Fashion, social aptitude, the whole deal, is important to social life here. Coming from outside this upperclass world and viewing it from the outside, I can tell you that in this elitist segment of the population, neither money nor looks will be enough to get you ahead. The keys are an awesome personality and class.

The tattoos you suggested seem to suggest neither, rather they imply arrogance and a faddish, sleazy "pimp" ideal. I'm just warning you that a lot of people out there, a lot of people at the top of society, the ones you seek to emulate, would view these tattoos as pretty dumb. If they're what you want to do, regardless, fine. But you seem to be contradicting yourself.

A few things....

1. I never said those tatoos would make me the shit.....Don't put words in my mouth.

2. You're a female and I'm a male...our thoughts of what makes someone the shit are not going to coincide....period.

3. I never said I wanted to be like any of the people I mentioned. In fact, I used their names as people I don't like and think are idiots, but they are still the shit according to a large majority of people. If they were'nt they wouldn't be in their current settings.

4. I'm not controdicting anything I said.

5. If you think getting a pimp tattoo makes you pathetic, you're free to think that. Some people don't share the same thought.

6. Stop digging for a fight, your words are feeble.

I'll put it like this....

a millionaire, sex icon and a household name.....

I think a lot of people would agree that makes someone the shit.

Would it be safe to say some of you are naturalists?

Those examples you shared with me, I would not look up to any of them or admire them. Yes they have money and lots of it, but I think they're losers.

IMO, just because you have money, doesn't mean you are the "shit"

I don't like any of those people I mentioned. Yes, they are losers to many....but you have to admit....they must be doing something right to have gotten where they are.

You're right, money isn't everything....but it can do a lot for you.

Case and point....George W. Bush and many past presidents like him, you have the money, you win the power.

I didn't mean to scare you into never getting :D just hoping that people do some research. I've seen so many people get liquered up and get inked that have turned out like that website. Its sad, especially when you have people that respect the art and use it to decorate an otherwise boring skin :)

la de da I won't hop on my soap box though
