Mom? Dad? I'm Dead ... Here Are My Tattoos: This takes "leaving your mark" to a whole new level.

When you think "family heirloom," it's natural to think of Grandpa's pocket watch or Grandma's engagement ring, but what about Uncle Jim's Bugs Bunny tattoo?

Sure, it was once on ole-Jim's calf, but now it can be framed, mounted and proudly displayed above your fireplace, for when you remember him on Christmas Eve.

NAPSA -- the National Association for the Preservation of Skin Art -- launched earlier this month with the aim of helping you pass down your tattoos to your kids, grandkids, and loved ones. It's no longer a morbid dream. You can have your tattoos removed, preserved and turned into fine art.

The Japanese have a museum that preserves many of the suit tattoos and full sleeve inks from famous artists. I saw some pics once years ago. It’s not just a walk in type museum, you have to be an artist with credentials to get a look iirc.

LOL!

There’s Oliver Reed and his eagle’s talons tattoo.

He was so bad ass, his friends claimed it was self-inflicted.

O.o

Humanity and death. Just goes to prove that eternity is in our souls, not these bodies. I was reading Leviticus this morning. No tattoos. I wonder if it has anything to do with our resurrected bodies? Jesus has His scars...

Rumor has it that John Dillenger already did that.

Oh, I love that stuff! We have it here in NW Ohio. Yum! Best way to eat it is in hotdog buns. On a conveyor belt...

Once knew a guy who had a blackwiddow spider tattooed on the end of his, that must have hurt like hell being put on and healing up.
Needless to say the guy was about 7/8ths of a bubble off plumb.

If he wasn’t before, he must have been after. And CLEARLY a case is there for ‘before”.

I wonder if anyone has ever referred to his own as a “schlort”. Even ironically.

“mounted”? But, of course.

Unless the person dies pretty young, a tattoo is not a really attractive piece of art. I know because I get to see MrDs tatts from 50 years ago.

Tattoos don't age well, to say the least.

Our society has reached such a low point. ~sigh~

Saw a beautiful girl today. About 18 — lovely figure, sweet face, perfect skin. Well, the skin on her face looked perfect. From what I could see of her arms, they were defaced with tatoos, as were her hands. Yuck.

Reminds me of the joke about two dead gay guys.Their friend couldn’t afford a proper funeral so he took them to a taxidermist.The taxidermist said he could do the job but he had a few questions.”Do you want them mounted?”
“No,just holding hands would be fine.”

“I knew a guy with a bee tattooed on the tip. No joke. We used to frink in bars free with the money he’d win on bets.”

Guy I used to ride with claimed he’d seem “Harley Davidson” tattooed on a guys wedding tackle. I’ll bet halfway thro that he wished he had a BMW.

Rumor was that a bartender in a road house had VW tatooed on his logitudinal axis. Well this caused a lot of laughs till one of the barmaids revealed the full extent of the ink spelled out Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft.

How’s the weather in Western MD? My Mom lives right on the Bay and says it’s wet, but not too bad.

I have no tattoos and when I die, I’m taking all my pieces parts with me. Thank you very much.
