Is there a significance of a shamrock tattoo in the gay lesbian bisexual community?

It doesn't seem to be common to use the tattoo to signify the LGBT. It doesn't mean it is not possible. Traditionally, the shamrock is a symbol of good luck, and the Holy Trinity in religious beliefs (God the father, God the son, and God the holy spirit). It is also a good symbol of the Irish. It probably just means good luck. In that sense, the LGBTs being a traditionally marginalized group and having to contend with things like STDs, having a luck talisman is not unreasonable. Such a tattoo could be used to signify the 4 communities represented by the LGBT, since a shamrock has 4 leaves. That is much like the mascot of 4Chan who has 4 green pigtails. Now, even racists have been known to get this tattoo. Why a marginalized group might pick a 4-leaf clover is hard to fathom when some people use it as a symbol of oppression. But it is not a stretch to consider that many gay men are macho and do belong to organizations associated with strength and masculinity.


Why are tattoos perminent?

Methods of tattoo removal include dermabrasion, skin grafts or plastic surgery, and laser surgery. All such methods may leave scars. In the early 2000s a group of scientists developed inks made from nontoxic pigments that could be contained within nano-beads. These nano-beads, implanted in the skin using traditional tattooing methods, created a permanent tattoo if left alone. The tattoo was removable, however, by means of a single laser treatment that would rupture the nano-beads; the inks thus released were absorbed into the body, and the laser treatment itself left no scar.


What are the rules for marines and tattoos?

For the most part from what I've always been told by clients of mine who have been in the service, they are primarily against any visible tattoos on your hands or neck. Tattoos on the face are completely out, and they are against any tattoo that is racist in meaning or has any gang affiliation. Other than that, they are pretty much cool with tattoos anymore.
