My sister-in-law used to do foster parenting. She became particularly attached to a little boy that she had cared for since he was a baby. The mother was a drug addicted, white, lesbian prostitute who already had four other children by different fathers. The mother refused to give the boy up for adoption and when my sister-in-law moved out of state, the state gave the boy back to the mother and she also moved to another state.
My sister-in-law kept in touch with the boy and when he turned 18, he came to live with her in Vt. The kid was covered, head to toe with tattoos. The mother had become a tattoo artist and using a homemade tattoo device, practiced on the child to learn how to do it.
The military wouldn’t even take him because of all the visible tattoos.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
My ex-husband, a Marine, had a small "USMC" tattooed on one tricep and an image of Little Hot Stuff, with the words, "From Now On," on the other. He got them when he was 17 and drunk. I wish I had a dollar for everytime he told me and the kids how much he regretting doing this to himself.
Flame away, inksters.
Why isn’t he with the OWS crowd, protesting his lack of a job..... he fits the bill from what I’ve seen
A few years ago I went into a Subway sandwich shop, and the young fellow who constructed my sandwich had long, gaunt arms with tatoos covered all up and down them. Skulls, flames, whatnot. It was so grotesquely off-putting, just evoking a whole sense of... unsanitary-ness. I went to my table to eat my sandwich, and could barely get through a quarter of it, having totally lost my appetite. I suppose the fellow himself might have been a nice enough guy, but the end result is I never went back to that shop.
Likewise, the cost to have a tattoo removed varies from the local chick in a booth at the mall, to some well-known Mayo-clinic plastic surgeon, written up in the New England Journal of Medicine.
One thing appears fairly consistent: having a tattoo removed is far more expensive than the tat's original cost [usually by a factor of 10 to 20], i.e., if you paid $300 for it, it'll cost you 3 to $4,000 to have it off. It can take many laser sessions, depending on size and color of inks.
Just be careful. Today's fad, is tomorrow's embarrassment. Ten years ago a Pokemon character peeking over your collar was way cool....today it's just plain stupid. "Choose wisely", as the knight said in Raiders III; but in my books, they have all "chosen poorly".
