Nothing quite says “I probably have hepatitis” like a tattoo does.

[A CA Guy]

Lots of idiots around who tattooed their heads with all kinds of garbage.

[the invisib1e hand]

yeah. life’s especially hard on fools.

Knew a guy who’s wife got a eagle tattoo long ago......he says after 40 years it’s now a pelican.

I already have too many identifying marks.

[TightyRighty]

I’ve been considering a tattoo but the one thing that always stops me is this: Is it still going to be attractive when I’m 80 and in a nursing home? So I stick to dying my hair.

Ted Kennedy's new tattoo...

*Hillery!*
OBAMA!

Nothing says trash quite like a wing tatoo above a girls behind.

It helps to have a lifetime commitment. "Mom," now, that's safe enough. "Bernice" isn't.

It helps to have the physique for it as well. The guy in Hong Kong who wuz gonna do an American eagle on my chest gave my money back and told me he didn't do miniatures.

Well, here’s what I figure: when I’m 80 and my tattoos are faded and stretched, my eyesight will be bad enough I can’t see them! :)

I remember being a teenager in the 70’s and friends of mine using a needle and giving themselves tattoos on their hands. They would wrap the needle with string or thread to act as an ink reservoir. Even at 15 I recognized it for what it was, and if I recognized it as a bad idea at 15, you know it’s dumb! :)

Scientology god?

[Ditter]

Mr. Ditter’s tattoos are about 45 years old, his blue bird of happiness looks like a sick chicken, and his rose is just wilted. When you think about getting a tattoo, try and think about something else until the moment passes. he is not a drinker but he says his tats prove he has been drunk at least twice.

I really, really, really hope my kids don’t get tattoos of any sort. They’ve thought about it. I have pointed out to them that they’re going have that tattoo all their lives and what looks good on young firm flesh now will look entirely different on saggy wrinkled codgers. yuck

And remember not everyone is Kat Von D.
