Not only that but the dye fades ... and stretches with age. These folks aren’t thinking ahead.

I always have to hold back laughing when I see a young girl with a tattoo on her young, flat belly...

Talk about not thinking ahead!

It is especially funny to see some obese old fart bag woman with anklet tattos.

I was a bit surprised and could not help but think: why would such a beautiful young lady destroy herself that way?

I've said it on other tattoo threads. Tattoos are like covering a work of art with graffiti, especially on a pretty girl.

I’d never get a tattoo because if I ever became a fugitive from law, the wanted posters always post the statement “noticeable markings” so if you have a tat then thats a dead giveway that will get you caught every time........

The psychological theory of 'adolescent thinking' wherein it is suggested that the not yet fully formed brain causes the young adult mind to perceive a different reality is extending well into what used to be adulthood. So is the theory of 'magical thinking' wherein the response to every issue thay demands attention and effort becomes 'it will work out' as opposed to "I will find a way to make it work out'.

Both are rampant in today's 17-28 year olds. A generation with its collective head up its collective ass (with exceptions of course).

I mean c’mon, if anything tells you everything there is to know about a person it’s whether or not they have a tattoo.

Am I right?

No. Ink is usually due to immaturity, and most people eventually grow up.

I didn’t let them know for a few years. When my dad finally saw one of them he hauled me to a dr who told him it would cost thousands to remove them. My dad flipped out but he was too busy with my wilder older brother’s antics to do much with me.

Really, you have to wonder ...

A tattoo like that wouldn't make me wonder, it would remove all doubt......

Because people WITHOUT Tattoos ARE SMART enough not to get a tattoo.

I am happy for you and your personal decision.

We obviously have different interpretations of what “smart” means.

Gasp! You mean this tramp stamp might actually be an accurate portrayal?

Yep, I've seen that as well--people that are very pretty, with beautiful skin and have destroyed it with an ugly blue/black looking tattoo. Tattoos often look like bruises to me.
