Then please tell me how it offends you, there is no way that a simple outline could offend someone one and if it does then there are obviously issues there.

I don’t think that there is any kind of inked image that can improve the appearance of any human, whether it is a dragon, a piece of barbed wire, an eagle, a rose, a butterfly or a pile of steaming garbage, to me it DETRACTS from the enjoyment of life. I am just as entitled to my opinion as you or anyone else is entitled to believe that a tattoo is attractive. I am the great grandson of a confederate veteran and I was born and raised within ten miles of the site of the first secession meeting but I consider a “Rebel” flag tattoo offensive as I do a stars and stripes tattoo or any other kind of tattoo, even if it is just the outline of something. I don’t go out of my way to tell people I don’t like their tattoos, I try to ignore them but I will never find them anything but a negative. It is my nature to prefer things plain and simple, I wouldn’t wear a ten thousand dollar Rolex watch if you gave it to me, maybe if you paid me to wear it I would, I wouldn’t give fifteen cents for all the fancy men’s jewelry on the Earth if all I could do with it is wear it, now if I could trade it for a log cabin on a Trout filled stream in East Tennessee that would be different, if you see that as my having “issues” then think what you will, I don’t really care.

Basically I agree with a comment I once heard on the radio from some commentator, “Nothing else says low rent like a tattoo.”
