IMO, tattoos are a sign of low class. Male or female, it doesn’t really matter.
My son was riding his horse, Comet, while on patrol in the Board Patrol. He and Comet rode into some nasty stuff involving drug smugglers and my son shot a smuggler. . .and Comet didn't flinch when the gunfight erupted. . .thereby ensuring solid shooting by my son, a shot cartel smuggler and my son unharmed.
My son is fiercely loyal to his partner, Comet.
Its a sure sign a woman had a trashy era in her life and maybe still has it going. Good for parties, not good for mom and dad. It’s not called a tramp stamp for no reason.
Groucho Marx – Lydia, The Tattooed Lady Lyrics
Lydia, oh! Lydia, say have you met Lydia
Oh! Lydia, the tattooed lady
She has eyes that folks adore so
And a torso even more so
Lydia, oh! Lydia, that “Encyclopedia”
Oh! Lydia, the Queen of tattoo
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo
Beside it the Wreck of the Hesperus too
And proudly above the waves
The Red, White and Blue
You can learn a lot from Lydia
She can give you a view of the world
In tattoo if you step up and tell her where
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree
Or Washington crossing the Delaware
Oh! Lydia, oh! Lydia, say have you met Lydia
Oh! Lydia, the tattooed lady
When her muscles start relaxin’
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson
Lydia, oh! Lydia, that “Encyclopedia”
Oh! Lydia, the champ of them all
For two bits she will do a Mazurka in Jazz
With a view of Niag’ra that no artist has
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz
You can learn a lot from Lydia.
La la la La la la La la la La la la
Come along and see Buff’lo Bill with his lasso
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon
And Godiva, but with her pajamas on
La la la La la la La la la La la la
Here is Grover Whalen unveilin’ the Trylon
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Islan’
Here’s Nijinsky a doin’ the Rhumba
Here’s her Social Security numba
La la la La la la La la la La la la
Lydia, oh! Lydia, say have you met Lydia
Oh! Lydia, the champ of them all
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat
And now the old boy’s in command of the fleet!

She has a self destruct complex, mental illness.
It's the "broken window" syndrome.
Once one window gets broken on an abandoned house the rest quickly follow. After all, the house is already ruined.
Once the skin is defaced may as well get another tattoo as the perfection of the skin cannot be restored.
Works the same for virginity. Once a girl loses her virginity she tends to be much more willing to screw the next guy (and the next, and the next etc). Why restrain herself when the damage is already done?
Thank you for all the replies. I didn’t think this subject would generate so many comments. I understand some of the reasons for tattoos. I just think it is a trend right now that will be a regrettable decision for many in the future. The tattooing of those who survived the holocaust has, in no way, anything to do with my reaction to the tattoos of today. I have seen a picture of a young man who had his entire face tattooed so he now looks like a pig. Why?? On women, particularly white women, it just looks dirty. I don’t look for any length of time at any tattoos. I am just thinking those who have visible ones, not including the Miitary, etc., just want strangers to look at them. And I am sorry this thread devolved into a discussion of ‘class’. I react to piercings the same way as tattoos. But I don’t react to smoking, excess weight, etc, thinking about ‘class’. Piercings and tattoos have always looked ‘rough’ to me. Thanks for the comments, though. Certainly thought provoking.
there are invisible tattoo’s that can only be seen under certain kind of lights. Know a person that has one..
LOL good one, stand up for us smokers..
Nice to learn it. I wish all the best to your son.... and his Comets:)
I saw Mark Wahlburg interviewed, a few years ago, and he said that he was having all of his tats removed. Each time he goes, he takes one of his kids so they can see how painful it is and to discourage them from following in his footsteps.
My theory is it gives people something to feel like a victim about. “How dare you judge me for having tattoos?” “I bet I lost that job because of my tattoos; people are so prejudiced!” etc. Nowadays all of the heroes are victims. We don’t celebrate war heroes and people like that anymore; we celebrate people who were supposedly victims of prejudice and discrimination. If a person isn’t a member of some victim group, all they have to do is get some tattoos and now they can claim victim status whenever they feel like it.
True, also tats you know they got as teens which no longer make sense.
“A tatoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.” a grandma somewhere
“A scar is a tatoo with a better story behind it.” Me. Plenty of scars, no need for tatoos.
Really love Danielle on American Pickers, but would love to know her story on how messed us she was when she got them all......
Fact: the more tatoo’s a woman has, the more likely she’ll jump in bed with you on the first date.........thus, they are a huge red flag that she’s likely got some diseases you don’t want.........
Happily married to world’s most wonderful woman for 42 years......
I’ve seen plenty of tattoos that are in credable.
My sisteril’s brother has tats from wrist over his back to the other wrist, which tell his story of his walk with Christ.
He is in prison ministry not allowed to bring a Bible but if asked about his tats he can talk about them
Those are good tattoos.
I know surfers that have tats which represent Salvation, so when asked they can use the tat as a witness.
Those are good tats.
Tattoos which are significat are good tattoos.

Feel the same about Danielle. She is such a beautiful woman but those tats are awful.
I believe it’s an addiction for some. My step niece just can’t seem to STOP inking up her body. 5, 10, 20....never enough. She’s only 21 and will regret those nasty things one day.
Nope.
