Re: Why can't I wear

um..r u planning on doing some jaadoo toona?

i dont mind wearing it when i am single...but when u r married u have to look into so manythings...its like you r joining bike gangs, or hippies, or rockstars or goth club...if your husband is into these things and he also keeps such company then sure otherwise wearing khoperi will make you odd one out.

Re: Why can’t I wear

So only single muslims are allowed to wear khopris. :hmmm:

They’re in fashion these days so it’s unlikely people would associate them with hippies, goths and rock stars etc.

This one’s from Topshop. :naak:

Re: Why can't I wear

You brought back old memories :O

When I was 11, in Pakistan outside I found this khoprhi of a small dog or cat. I found it cute and took it home. Showed it to my mother and daadi amma proudly, thinking they will laugh too.
Instead they became angry and told me to throw it away and to wash my hands thoroughly :(

Re: Why can’t I wear

Ahaa, the Phantom ring. When he used to punch his enemies, it used to leave a Skeleton mark on their cheeks. Maybe catskin wants to do that

Re: Why can't I wear

I find stuff with skull and crossbones on it very disrespectful......somehow it gives the connotation that one wearing it does not appreciate the blessing that is life......

I refuse to let my family partake.

Re: Why can’t I wear

Re: Why can't I wear

here you go…

taken from: What does a skull and crossbones tattoo symbolize

Answer

It might mean that the wearer of the skull and crossbones tattoo, is or is related to piracy (or he/she thinks of him/herself as a pirate).

Answer

A skull and crossbones is usually a sign of something dangerous and warns a person not to enter …or to fear death. They were long popular in the old school of tattooing on bikers to show one’s outlaw side and now they are synonomous with heavy metal, outlaws and the 'wrong side of the tracks. As the art of tattooing has progressed as have the type of people sporting them, a skull and crossbones can be a new school tribute to the old school art…a way for someone to show there ‘other’ side.

Answer
it is also a reminder of our own mortality.

Answer
I dont have any tattoos yet, but the skull and crossbones for me is a symbol of a rebellious spirit. As well as demonstrating my love for horror. It may also be demonic.

Answer
I got a morphed skull and crossbones, it is a combination of skull and bones and a human heart with aorta veins, It’s a symbol of impending death, a reminder of my condition, a symbol of the struggle with my self to survive. You see I had a massive heart attack almost exactly a year ago, Feb. 11, 2005, surgery and recovery, change of lifestyle, all that stuff. I�m doing very well now. I�m very proud of this tattoo, I have several, but this one has special meaning only for me. So I think with all tattoos, they could hold a completely different meaning for anyone.
the actually mearning very few know it really is a myth about Adam and Eve. somed up that Christ was hang above there graves at the place of the skull.

The right answer:

In the old days, I mean the really old days, a skull and crossbones symbol would hang above the entrance to buildings and places related to death (mortuaries, graveyards and so on), to warn people not to go in there. As the years passed, it of course became a symbol of death or risk of death, like on crates of poison.

It is originally not at all related to Nazism; Pretty much all nations in the world used this symbol on their uniforms, but as WWII was over, most people related it to Nazism, and therefore, other armies stopped using this symbol.

When Emanuell Wynn started using this symbol (all pirates had their own symbol; Blackbeard had a full skeleton with horns, holding a spear towards a bleeding heart, Calico Jack had a skull with crossing cutlasses under it, Bartholomew Roberts (Black Bart) had a drawing of himself and a skeleton toasting, Thomas tew had a human arm holding a cutlass in the raised position), it was of course because it was related to poison and death, and this scared the fighting will out of anyone who saw a ship flying these colors.

Pirates did not, however, use it to say “No quarter” (“take no prisoners”, meaning that everyone would be killed). A full red flag in addition to the pirate’s personal Jolly Roger meant “No quarter”, a Jolly Roger simply meant “hello there, we are pirates, and if you look closely enough, you’ll see who the captain is!”.

So, to sum up:

  1. Death
  2. Poison
  3. Piratery
  4. “Oooh, look at me, I’m tough”
