Two things I hate more than anything: Tattoos and Graffiti.
They are the same thing only one’s mobile.
I’ve come to really appreciate the art work that goes into ‘some’ tattoos. I look them up on the internet, and some of them are truly amazing.
The problem is, I don’t like them on people.
Do it on an easel or a poster.
Here’s my major problem with a tattoo on me. I find that I really like some works of art the first time I see it. I will go back and look at it again over and over for perhaps a couple of years. Then it becomes passe. I move on.
I don’t want a piece of art on my body that I’m going to get tired of in a couple of years or less. Then what?
It’s also a possible tip off to someone being gang affiliated. If you’re not into the gang culture, you don’t know the ‘real’ tell-tale signs. For that reason I shy away from people who have them out here in California.
In other areas of the nation, perhaps that’s not as big a problem but with gang proliferation, I wouldn’t bet on it.
If they offend you or you'd rather I not post them to you, simply say so and I'll stop at once. I know you said you don't like tatoos, but I thought you might appreciate the art work in these.
As I said, I'm don't care for tattoos, but some of the artwork is impressive.

Me too! I hope we have people on the job to clean up the graffiti you just know will go on the wall.
When I lived in Denver, I helped start a neighborhood association. It was kind of a run-down area (we bought our 100-year old house for $33K). The first year, there was a drive-by shooting at the house next to us.
They also had a little girl, a toddler, who would walk around alone in just a diaper in the backyard in two-foot high weeds while her parents ignored her, doing drugs. (I called social services when I saw that).
Every Saturday morning, those of us in the neighborhood association would all go around and clean up graffiti. We did other things to improve the neighborhood, too. My husband and I also worked hard to fix up the house.
A few years later, when my Canadian husband got a job offer up here, we sold the house for $115,000.
Little efforts can improve things.
I hope we will have people to keep the wall clean.
Amen to that
Tattoos and graffiti are the same thing; both are ugly, considered ‘art’ by the artists, and are usually in the wrong place.
