Yes,thank you..... But as I said I've been at it for decades & started wearing them longer as a teen & then longer and for some years I wore them ridiculously long(3,4inches) so I'm very used to it,as a matter of fact on occasion I've chopped them down to stubs & found I was all thumbs and couldn't seem to manage!!!!   I'm sure I've looked like a clown when it was fashionable and went along with all the trendy styles in my youth and enjoyed the fun of it....

I just don't think a young or old guy should look like a grandma,I wouldn't even wear a bun!!!! Lol I do like men to look like men and women to look like women.I see nothing attractive about men wearing eyeliner, lipstick,eyeshadow or nail polish( except clear matte).... If they like their hair a little long then okay but pony tails .pig tails & buns.... Er hum,No. I also wouldn't want to see women with bushy eyebrows,beards or mustache!!!!    1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah,they are very old & faded..... I'm dark skinned & with my type skin the ink " bleeds" over time,does not hold ink well like people with a fair complexion..... Tribal band was so thin( single needle)and very pretty until the ink bled & you cannot even see the details,there's hearts & pegasus and other stuff but just looks like blobs after all these decades...

As have I ,really disastrous - more often than not.... I wouldn't do it,mistakes are permanent - at least with an eyebrow pencil you can wipe it off & try again!  The few good ones I've seen were nicely done but too few,that's a risky move imo Reminds me-I was teaching a girl how to wax eyebrows way back when I let her do mine,I'll never forget the " huuuuhh" sound she made as she pulled back the muslin strip..... I had half an eyebrow! Imagine hearing that sound with permanent ink?  Rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of bacterial and viruses that get underneath those nails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I guess some people could rent themselves out as human billboards. The whole fingernail thing and women is mostly fake because they glue on fake fingernails. They sometimes almost look like predatory cat claws. My wife doesn't do any of that. She occasionally paints her toe nails, usually when we go to the shore. Guess who she asks to paint them? Yep. My fingernails grow rather fast. I have to keep them clipped because it interferes with my violin and guitar playing.I'm not dainty. I look for the closest pair of scissors, or anything else that can cut nails. I have used wire cutters.

Set up a jig on a workbench, flip a belt sander upside down, turn it on, and reduce those nails. Ooga booga. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug it in. Step 2: Position the large trash can in the garage close to your body. Step 3: Lean forward at the waist so that your noggin is suspended over the trash can. Step 4: Power up those shears, and use them to liberate your noggin of undesirable hair. It falls into the garbage can. Efficient! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't shine, however they sure are smooth. Probably should do it again soon as they are beginning to look like the Frankenstein monsters nails. I probably worry about toe nails the least. My only concern would be the mortician will have to look at them when I die 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
