Truth in advertising. It's nature's way of saying, "stay away!"
Yes thats tatting alright. I sure wish I could do it too.

That’s for sure! Today’s rose bouquet is going to be tomorrow’s hanging basket.
I just hate to see young girls with pretty skin that is marred by the hideously ugly artificial colors of tattoos. I really don’t understand it at all. The young men, too. It looks so low class and grotesque.
When I was a teenager, only ex-cons and sailors had tattoos.
Back in the early 1980s I knew a WW2 navy vet with numerous tattoos. He was probably in his 60s by then and frequently expressed regret and wished he could afford to have them removed. They were pretty faded by then and looked really bad. But the only removal was surgical at $100/sq inch.
I felt bad for him.
Its Conan O’Brian!!!!
Come to think of it, with smokers diminishing, dying out, and getting taxed out of existence, tattoos and hearing may become a growth industry for the tax and spenders, hmmm. $.50 per color tax on a tattoo.
What’s your point?
Sometimes opinions formed when one is young and stupid should not be permanently displayed for all to see. Wisdom can soften opionions but appearances may be difficult to change. Or worse, there may not be a chance to mature and the stunted growth stands on its own.
The point for the specific man of my story:
He is going to spend his final days at the complete mercy of others due to his catastrophic injury. He can no longer move or communicate with others. His tats are all that is left of his message to the world. I worry that it well affect the care he receives.
He made his choices.
