I am ÜBER PISSED!!!

[Kitten in the box]

Not sure where this would go: here or off topic. Mods if its in the wrong place pls move.*

I am pissed! I got my zombie tattoo colored in and a cw is already bitching about it: kitty: me ACW: annoying co worker.

Kitty: *puts a&d ointment on my kitty
ACW: you got another one?
Kitty: no, I had him... I just got him colored in
ACW: why aren't they at least in sync... They don't even match...
Kitty: *thinks* Who gives a flying fuck?

I told her my Catepillar and chessire cat are in sync and that I still might add to them.

ACW: your Catepillar isn't even the right color....
Kitty: I don't care. I like him.*
ACW: you like him and that's all that matters.... So who cares if anyone else does?
Kitty: my cousin is still a beginner.*
ACW: so your what... His test dummy?
Kitty: No! I'm not is test dummy. *glares* I like the tattoos and that's ALL that matters!! I don't care if others like it or not.
ACW: you know when you get old and shriveled....
Kitty: I like them. I don't give a damn if anyone else likes them
ACW: *attempts murder with catbutt face and glare huffs and puffs and grates in this evil pissed off voice as our SM comes in* hey boss, see kitty's tattoo? Isn't it 'cool?'

My manager either ignored her or didn't hear her. ACW glares at me again going for another "murder attempt" via catbutt face glare. She stomps off muttering something and glares at me put of her side vision.*

I wanna see these tattoos. Links, please?

[AmbrosiaWriter]

Uh, yeah, she pretty much hit the mark when she said "So who cares if anyone else does?"

It's your body, not hers. You'll have to deal with whether or not you'll get bored/tired/regret getting the tattoos later (not saying you will) not her. So she should just keep her huge ass nose out of your business and leave the subject alone.

Next time I'd probably just go into immediate "You no longer exist in my world" mode when she starts in on the tattoos; no reaction, no response from me what so ever until she left or changed subject to something she won't harp me on.

[Food Lady]

I do the "you no longer exist" thing and that gets me the rep for being rude. Oh, well.

[Fudgethatkay]

Tell her straight up that if she can't find another hobby other than harassing you about your body and the choices you make with it, you could actually bring it to higher ups as harassment, if its been noted you told her to stop.

[Sapphire Silk]

It doesn't matter what ACW thinks. If she doesn't like them, she should keep her mouth shut.

If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all.

[malmalthekiller]

I'll never understand why some people are so interested in other people's business.

I'm sorry you have to deal with it.

[Andara Bledin]

Honestly, the way the conversation plays out in my head, based on the words posted here, make me think ACW is jealous and is playing the 'sour grapes' game.

She wishes she could do something like that but is either too chicken or prevented by some other consideration from doing it, so she's going to act as though others who do it are somehow inferior.

^-.-^

ACW: why aren't they at least in sync... They don't even match...

Oh, I beg your pardon, Martha Stewart. I didn't realize tattoos were supposed to match and be symmetrical and coordinate with your tasteful home furnishings.

[RetailWorkhorse]

I'll never understand why some people are so interested in other people's business.

Because, Malmal, they are fussy little busybodies. With no life, no manners, and no clue.

Oh, I beg your pardon, Martha Stewart. I didn't realize tattoos were supposed to match and be symmetrical and coordinate with your tasteful home furnishings.

With the perfectly groomed chow-chow with the silly cutesy name and the drapes that match the sofa - oh excuse me - chaise lounge in the boudoir.

Those are neat looking. Getting a tattoo is not something I'd be interested in. The whole getting jabbed with a needle voluntarily and all, but I am quite capable of admiring the artwork on others.

[Gizmo]

They aren't of a highly shaded art style but I see nothing wrong with those at all. I like them. To be honest I think she's a classist and the fact they are more 'cartoony' than 'shaded colours' or 'black and greys' just makes her all the more destainful above and beyond the fact you have tattoos. (Please don't take offense - I geniuinely like them. I've just seen a lot of people 'downgrade' other types of art and definately tattoos as being crap quality just FOR being cartoony or only a couple of colours.)

At the end of the day its not her business and I'd out and out tell her so myself. (Says the girl with a chainsaw tattooed on her upper arm. I'm not exactly shy and retiring when you get in my face. )

Funnily enough for someone who can't sit still during a blood test draw I don't have a problem with the tattoo needles. Since you barely see the needle due to it moving too fast and mostly covered by the machine handle thing you see the lines of ink and (a little) blood appear almost like magic and it doesn't *feel* like a needle either.

I love the whole "That's gonna be nasty when you're old and wrinkly!" bingo.

What ISN'T gonna be nasty when I'm old and wrinkly? At least the morticians will have something interesting to look at. (I don't plan on or am at least hoping against hope that I don't end up in a home)

My only tattoo thus far gets interesting reactions. People who know me think that it's cute and unique and fits my personality to a T. Others are generally "... Is that a fluffy sheep on your leg, Shiny?"

"That thing is showing me its ass."

"What the . . . it's just sticking its ass out there like "HI, RAPE ME."

I will probably get more. So long as I like them, that's all that matters. Your coworker, frankly, should just STFU and mind her own beeswax.
