Janice Johnson 03-08-2022, 06:14 PM So, I looked up,"Axl Rose Tattoos," and now I get multiple suggestions from Google telling me where I can get Tattoos done!:eek::rolleyes: Google, get a life please! :eek::rolleyes: Google, I don't want Tattoos myself, I was just curious about Axl Rose's Tattoos! :eek: :rolleyes:
Caroline13 03-08-2022, 07:45 PM Janice, this is how it works with search engines and I use google for everything. I just delete....

I should have been more clear. Google sent me a link to Wynwood Tattoo Studios even on this very Website! When I wasn't looking up anything related to Tattoos at all! Google also sent me a link to another Tattoo Studio on a Website that I wasn't even looking up Tattoos!
Caroline13 03-08-2022, 08:25 PM Continue to delete, t hey will go away.
Janice Johnson 03-08-2022, 08:34 PM Continue to delete, t hey will go away.
Hmm. I deleted my Axl Rose Tattoos inquiry, and I am STILL getting the Wynwood Tattoo Studio link. Feck off Google! :mad:

So, are they harassing you via e-mail? Or are they just bombarding you with ads (here, fir example) based upon your search history?
I use an adblocker called "u-block origin", and it's pretty good. Set it up once and forget about it. Which is one of the things I like about it, compared to the blockers that continually nag you to adjust your preferences.

I got ads telling me about Wynwood Tattoo Studio. Even after I deleted the Axl Rose Tattoos inquiry from Google. And I JUST found out I still had Axl Rose Tattoos in my ACTUAL history. I deleted the Axl Rose Tattoos history itself, and the Wynwood Tattoo Studio ad FINALLY went away. 😀

I don't know about evil, but why a person desecrates their bodies????? I once got a henna one on my ankle at funky Venice beach and it was fun but it washed away......

Bonniegirl 03-09-2022, 04:51 PM I shop alot on line for clothes and shoes, and I'm forever getting bombarded with pictures of shoes and other clothing items on my computer and cell phone ! :D

This is an extremely bizarre take. You can hate tattoos all you want, but to call them "evil" is just silly. I don't have any tattoos but I considered getting my best friend who passed away's handwriting tattooed on me. Is that "evil?" :rolleyes:
Janice Johnson 03-10-2022, 03:14 AM Is Google getting downright scary? :eek: A woman said she was cleaning her bathroom and noticed her bathroom tiles looked kind of off and thought,"Maybe I should regrout my Bathroom tiles." She went on Google and without even looking up,"Regrouting bathroom tiles, " Google sent her links to Bathroom tile Regrouting services! ":eek:

That Guy is an IDIOT!:lol: :rolleyes: Hmm. On an interesting note, he simultaneously looks like he is smirking and like he regrets what he did to get a mugshot.
GentlemanJim 03-10-2022, 10:44 AM As I mentioned earlier, I use a fairly effective ad blocker. So for the most part I am blissfully ignorant of what might be going on.
However, a couple years ago I was shopping online for a digital, handheld sound recorder, and I searched several sources...over a period of days.
Then, about a week later I was at my local public library, using their public access computers. Everything was fine....until I logged onto a forum that I regularly used. And was immediately besieged with offers for hand held digital sound recorders. Not just there at that site, but every where else that I surfed for the remainder of that computer session.
Now what that actually means is kinda spooky. There obviously was some sort of data collection going on in the background, sharing my participation At a variety of locations ...with at least one "central authority"..... Amazon, or Google, or perhaps some other cult of common interest.
But there was no doubt in my mind that I had been "made", and that it would be child's play for such an empowered entity to know that the person using that public library terminal that day, was the same person who had shopped for handheld sound recorders from my home IP address a week earlier .
Now, maybe it's true what they say, that my actual identity is of no importance to them...only my shopping interests and preferences are what they "harvest"
But, it would sure be easy for them to change that, without my ever knowing. And that would leave me just one "smart phone synch" away from them being able to draw a map of everywhere I traveled, every day..
The information technology genie is already out of the bottle
Caroline13 03-10-2022, 03:28 PM I use the Delete button a LOT....don't even open so much garbage that comes in. Immediate Delete...
Janice Johnson 03-10-2022, 05:20 PM My God, I got another as a few seconds ago for another Tattoo Studio even after I deleted my Tattoo inquiries! :confused::eek:
GentlemanJim 03-10-2022, 06:13 PM You could always call google and complain....(LOL)
1960'sTVfan 03-10-2022, 07:01 PM I don't have any problems with Google but I get several spam messages every day in my email, I don't read them and I delete them automatically.
Janice Johnson 03-10-2022, 07:53 PM You could always call google and complain....(LOL)
I wonder if I could sue Axl Rose himself for getting those Tattoos in the first place and indirectly causing me to get harrassed by Google with these Tattoo Studio ads. :crazy::lol: I am joking. :lol::crazy:
GentlemanJim 03-10-2022, 08:23 PM Be sure to name the manufacturer of the tattoo ink as an additional defendant. Always cast the widest net possible.

Maybe I can sue Axl's Parents too (they are both dead )for having sex and causing him to be alive in the first place! :crazy::lol:

Sometimes you can turn it around and use that to your advantage. I wanted to get our mortgage payment down, but didn't really want to go to a different mortgage company, so I purposely did a search on refinancing with some other companies. A few days later, we get an offer from our mortgage company for a lower monthly payment.
Janice Johnson 03-15-2022, 10:52 PM I am now getting Tattoo Studio ads on YouTube! :mad::rolleyes::confused::eek: PLEASE stop, YouTube and Google! I do NOT want Tattoos, I was just curious about Axl Rose's Tattoos! I deleted my Axl Rose Tattoos history and I am STILL getting bombarded with Tattoo Studio ads! Make it stop!

Dude111 03-16-2022, 09:08 PM I am now getting Tattoo Studio ads on YouTube!Yuk.. I hate tattoos!!!
Janice Johnson 03-17-2022, 04:46 AM Yuk.. I hate tattoos!!!
I'm not a Fan of Tattoos either, I was just curious about Axl Rose's Tattoos. There was an article somewhere warning Terms to not get Tattoos. It said something like,"To Teens thinking about getting Tattoos, Tattoos are PERMENANT. Think about when your 40 year old self doesn't care about K-Pop anymore." REALLY good advice."
GentlemanJim 03-17-2022, 10:03 AM Personally, I would never get a tattoo. But that being said, there are good tattoos, and there are bad tattoos.
Some of the better ones can be impressive, from purely an art perspective.
But I do find amusement in seeing some of the really bad tattoos that people are actually proud of. Some that look like they were done with a bottle of ink from office depot and a hat pin, and you wonder why that person wears short sleeves?
