What does it buy our party when we confront the millions who waste their money on such frivolous items and then turn to the government for assistance?
Tattoos are like BMW's. An expensive waste of money.
Are lefties more likely to wear tattoos? Probably because they’re young.
Good thing he checked his insurance before he did something really stupid and irresponsible. that’s the crap they get on TV that makes it all right. Where do you tattoo a sheep?

Tattoos are nature’s way of telling you that you are a financial idiot.
What if one of our elected reps were to say just that?
I’ve been saying for years: A tattoo is a permanent reminder of temporary insanity.
I bet a full tribal sleeve cost a pretty penny.
“I’ve been saying for years: A tattoo is a permanent reminder of temporary insanity.”

I would correct that statement by stating that tattoos are a permanent reminder of stupidity (and how long the person defends getting them determines how temporary the stupidity is. Sometimes it’s as permanent as the tats).
“Tattoos are like BMW’s. An expensive waste of money.”
The excess ink goes to your lymph glands where they sit and interfere with the work of those glands. The more tattoos you get, the more damage to the lymph glands.
“Lymph glands, or lymph nodes, play a crucial role in the immune system by filtering lymphatic fluid and helping to fight infections and diseases.”
Probably defacing themselves due to self loathing. DemocRAT voters.
Maybe not a good investment, and perhaps not towards a good future, but whatever.
I’ve watched many videos from younger people who complain about not being able to afford things like groceries, rent, health bills, etc. But in almost every case, they all are almost covered in tattoos. So I have to question their priorities.
Why the gratuitous slap at the fine decade-old Bavarian automobile in my garage? If you’re aware of another make that produces such a sweet inline 6-cylinder engine, let me know. De gustibus non disputandum est.
The Bible forbids tattoos (Lev. 19.28), not that that would matter to this sort of person.
Just because you can't afford living expenses, doesn't mean living expenses are unaffordable. It means you have made bad choices.
After we bought our first house, we spent the first 18 months on the floor in sleeping bags. We had our first child, and she spent her first three months in a dresser drawer on the floor, next to our sleeping bags. We lived very rural, and had our freezer full of Venison from mostly highway kills.
Those were our best memories. No television. An old apple tree provided enough nasty apples for applesauce cakes,& canned spiced apples, We kept bee hives as a hobby activity. We cut, split, and stacked our 8 months worth of wood for the stove.
We had no money, but we had no crisis of affordability. Weekends of walking in the woods, fishing in the local lake, and volunteering for community cleanups and beach raking kept us socially busy.
WTH is a “college refund?”
