As a kid at the beach I saw Navy sailors with tattoos and asked my grandfather about them. He said: tattoos were the marks of criminals and the insane, that only a fool would grab hold of something he couldn’t turn loose of, avoid them.

I've Got A Tiger By The Tail -- Buck Owens

And thanks, rlmorel, for the classic "Tattoo Locations" diagram at post 128. I had forgotten that the "Socially acceptable rebellious tattoo zone" is marked in green.

On account of the assorted Biblical and/or judgmental comments...

I've got a tiger by the tail and only a fool would grab hold of something he couldn't turn loose of, so concerning the Torah (fools rush in, because only Israel said "yes" to the dress, an American reality television series on TLC):

Ben Bag Bag said: Turn it over, and [again] turn it over, for all is therein. And look into it; And become gray and old therein; And do not move away from it, for you have no better portion than it.

Important, flipped over story:

Tattoos are also the mark of victims of the Holocaust, the Jewish ID that never. washes. off:

The word "tora" literally means "tiger." But it was a code phrase signalling that the Japanese attack force had achieved surprise. When the Japanese planes flew over Pearl Harbor and saw that no one was expecting them, they said "tora tora tora" to report back to command that they'd succeeded in reaching the base without anyone on the American side catching wind of their plan.

...At least that was what happened in the movie!

And,

totsugeki raigeki (突撃雷撃)

Sudden attack. Lighting attack.

Aka surprise quick attack.

Here is the last verse of the Torah (the tail end, the last word, Israel):

Deu 34.12. And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great and awesome deeds which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel:

chatul [חָתוּל, cat]

Tail Position: High

When your cat holds their tail high in the air as they move about their territory, they're expressing confidence and contentment. A tail that sticks straight up signals happiness and a willingness to be friendly. And watch the tip of an erect tail. A little twitch can mean a particularly happy moment.

Tail Position: Curved Like a Question Mark

You might consider taking a break from your daily business to play with your cat if you notice a curve in their tail. This tail position often signals a playful mood and a cat that's ready to share some fun with you.

The Tales Your Cat's Tail Tells

As is, the web-generated translation off of the Hebrew Wiktionary page (def. 2):

chitul [חִתּוּל]
‎1. Biblical tongue -- ‎‎bandage, a cloth wrapped around a wound to stop bleeding or protect the affected area.‎

‎"Man, I broke the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and behold, she did not bandage to give healings to any ‎‎cat‎‎, to bandage it to hold and to seize with a sword"‎‎ ‎‎(‎‎Ezekiel 30‎‎:‎‎22‎‎).‎
‎ ‎2. The ‎‎sheet ‎‎is wrapped around the ‎‎loins ‎‎of a ‎‎baby‎‎ or a person who is unable to control his‎‎ needs‎‎, and its function ‎‎is‎‎ the ‎‎absorption‎‎ of ‎‎his secretions‎‎.‎ ‎
‎In order to maintain the hygiene of the‎‎ diapers‎‎, they should be boiled after each use.‎
‎Today, cloth diapers are used mainly to keep the baby clean when caring for the baby such as spreading under it when ‎‎diapering‎‎.‎
‎My baby brother, happy hour, was weaned from ‎‎diapers‎‎.‎‎
Also on that link in the example statements for "chatul": ‎‎
It is a well-known fact that ‎‎a cat ‎‎always falls on its feet.‎‎‎

A famous parable (mashal) is The Messiah at the Gates of Rome (Sanhedrin 98a 16-18)...

He sits among the poor who suffer from illnesses. And all of them untie their bandages and tie them all at once, but the Messiah unties one bandage and ties one at a time. He says: Perhaps I will be needed to serve to bring about the redemption. Therefore, I will never tie more than one bandage, so that I will not be delayed.
(Definitely a wise plan when it comes to changing multiple babies' diapers.)

Concerning the donkey described above it (lines 13-15), when Alvis Owens was a small boy, he announced to his family that is name was "Buck", naming himself after the family's donkey.

His first release:

Forget what you knew
We'll start life anew
Down on the Corner of Love

What of Navy sailors with tattoos?

Join the Navi, see the world...

Deuteronomy 34 - Genesis 1

10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth:
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep; And a wind from God moved upon the face of the waters:
3. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light:

Permanent marks? Get coloring! 😜
