Language / Use of Kochanie in Polish [37]

from what i understand (which is not a lot at all) Kochana is more like 'my love' and kochanie is more like darling, dearest.. right? so one would be a little more intense?

Kochanie sounds really feminine to me for some reason.

do girls say that to their boyfriends a lot in Polish is it usually just vice versa?

Life / Tattoos and Popular culture in Poland [51]

hmm I have a saint Francis quote...maybe i'll start with that one (they're catholic! ha). Yeah so i defiantly don't have a face piece or a tramp stamp... But maybe at first i'll just keep them all well and hidden just to not give the wrong impression.

i have a half sleeve, "socks" or my feet done, and a side/rib piece. they're all my own artwork so, i don't know, i suppose thats meaningful. But like i said before, i was an artist so it seems really normal for me.

Yeah, i agree glamroxx its hard to justify getting a flash tattoo after a few years... so you best make it worth something to you.

Life / Tattoos and Popular culture in Poland [51]

hahah Polonius' response was pretty funny. I'm sure everyone probably has their own opinions. Why I ask is because I used to be a tattoo artist and would hear a lot of interesting stories of from customers who traveled abroad.

My general consensus though was that most Europeans didn't really care very much and the most judgmental people are probably Midwesterners in the US. .Anyways, Wroclaw thank you for your response--it was pretty informative.

I'd like to know more about how people here feel about it personally, like does it seem trashy or do heavily tattooed people look like 'hoodlums'(etc) to you? Do you see a lot of people/tv personalities with tattoos?

All of mine are usually covered with normal clothes, and i'm a pretty wholesome looking person so I never have any problems. My (Polish)boyfriend seems to be pretty indifferent on the matter, but it will be interesting meeting his family.

So I'm kind of curious about that modscene in Poland. Are tattoos common amongst people of all ages? Do they tend to have a stigma attached to them for any reason? I know that it certainly depends on -what- tattoo someone has, what it means, and where--but i think there is usually a popular consensus as to what is OK and what is taboo.

Like in the us there has be an increasing amount of business professionals with full or half sleeves or gauged ears. . Its becoming not necessarily a 'low-brow' thing anymore. Then again, it depends on where you go too...

Do you normally see girls with full sleeves in Poland?
