I got quite a few removed. For different reasons. Next week i'll get the last two removed that I plan to take off, and those are my wrist ones. I'm taking them off because of how visible they are. But somewhere I have to put a red wing (just one red wing and not on my back) and I want a gypsy tattoo too. That one I might make into a back piece.... Any thoughts? I could use some good gypsy tatt ideas...

Get this if you like gypsies:


Heres your tatto
Nothing says gypsie like taking your whole family to get water or some shit on the side of a national road on seriously malnourished and mistreated horses and carriage. When they pass by a very small village you get the older women running after them with a broom and throwing rocks and casting plagues upon them. I hear its even worse in eastern europe especially in the balkans.
I wonder whjy they are so disliked... Are people fond of them over in America?

I have no idea...I don't usually ask people if they're fond of gypsies...Maybe? I sense I struck a nerve though.

"There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin;
And they roam the earth at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountains crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.
If they went straight, they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new."

Actually RB, remember the PM I sent you today? There are many Romani that dance and I've learned they abhor the term Gypsy as it connotates thieving, swarthy, swindler stereotypes. Maybe that's what Klite was getting at? Or he was probably just trying to be funny. I took no offense.

PS. the term "travelers" is also used.

Maybe. All the Gypsy symbols I found online are like "This house is good to rob." "This one is wealthy". "Kind lady lives here. Tell pitiful story." But i'm not sure how historically accurate that stuff is.
