Thank God for Lois Kapp's "Liberty Tattoo Removal Service".
guess mom settled for a self-portrait.
I have a friend who has the vast majority of his body tattooed, but nothing shows if he's wearing street clothes because that would never fly in the Geek World he lives in. (He's "Dilbert" come to life, LOL!) He has this awesome Wolfman on his back that is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and he's now in the habit of taking off his shirt when he sees me, so I can visit with "Wolfman," LOL!
I love tattoos on others; not so sure about them on myself.
My husband has an Eagle with a big old fish in its talons on one shoulder, but unfortunately, he also has a few of those "prison tattoos" as well, though he's never been an inmate, LOL! He was one of those dopey teens with the "do it yourself" attitude as in the article.
My Ex-Husband had to go through the pain of having "me" removed from his arm before his "new" wife would marry him.
I hope it hurt like hell, LOL!
"She wanted one, but she was stuck with (my dad) for so long"
She was stuck with him? Doesn't sound like she liked her father.
Gosh I hate tattoos. Several months ago I stopped at a sandwich shop, and the fellow constructing my sub had these long, gaunt arms, all decorated with dragons and skulls and whatnot. The guy was as friendly as could be, but the sight of those arms just repulsed me and took away my appetite. I sat down at a table to eat my sandwich, and I could hardly swallow it, thinking of those grotesque-looking appendages that put it together. I see tattoos like that and I immediately think of nasty, unbathed uncleanliness. Call it a phobia, I suppose. But it's something I can never seem to get mentally past. I certainly never went back to that sandwich shop.
I've been around enough REAL Old Navy types to understand that tattoos don't get any prettier as the wearer ages.
I'm too much of a nonconformist to ever get a tattoo.
"I think tattoos have always been attractive to younger people because of the rebellion aspect of them"
I love how every body and his momma has one but this fool still says that....its not that its the other way..its the cool thing to do so lets get one
Real works of art.... How tasteful!
White trash knows no geographic boundaries or class barriers.
I love (hate) the scrolls that a lot of young women are having tattooed across their back, just above their crack. I wonder if they'll later regret it. When I see a "scroll" across a young woman's back I immediately come to one conclusion - that she's a tramp. Maybe that's wrong but that's what it says to me.
Trash...
Teen talk 2040 AD: "OOOOOH, that hag must be really OLD. She has a TATOO!"
Why do women need to get tattoos? It's a huge turnoff for me. I hate them on chicks. They're just ugly and unnatural. I might as well have sex with a football player.
One of my favorites.
I wonder if in another 20 years if any of these people will still want to look like a circus attraction?

Attractive and intelligent.
To each his own. I don't have one yet, but my husband has a profile of the devil on one shoulder and a cross (that was done when he was 11, with piano wire) on the other shoulder. Someday he wants to get a more elaborate catholic cross in it's place. Meanwhile, I still haven't decided if I want one or not. If I decide to, it'll be a small one, probably on my ankle or some place discreet.
IMO, tattoos are fine as long as they are in places that can be covered, if need be. While some tattoos are scary, evil and sometimes not very appropriate (as in the sandwich shop post above) and I agree that that is distasteful to be forced to view them, there are some really cool tats out there that blow my mind, the talent of some of these tat artists...wow.
Again, to each his own.
