The tattoos were very beautiful.

Provided it was a reputable tattoo artist, and they assured me that the tat wouldn't be anything vulgar or otherwise objectionable, I might consider it.

In not so many years, the landscape will be lots of seniors pushing their walkers and adorned with tats. What seems strange today won't merit a second glance.

Meant to add: Thinking of elderly ladies with tattoos seems weird. Not so much old guys after having seen so many WWII vets with tats.

They may know him, but did HE know for sure who he was tattooing? I think one's tattoos are a personal statement, and "random" ink, to me, makes no sense.

A lot of people get skulls or snakes inked on themselves. I'm cool with that if that's what you're into, but I don't want one on myself. If I pulled my arm out of that hole and saw a snake or a skull, I'd be upset, but I'd have no one to blame but myself.

Not in a million years. I'm not a tattoo person in the first place but even if I were, I would not want a voluntary permanent addition to my body in a very visible location made without knowing exactly what it was going to be ahead of time. But I am admittedly a little bit of a control freak (or to use a line I like better, a control enthusiast! lol!)

Good luck with that...tattoos are way too mainstream now to pigeonhole people as tattoo people

No tats for me either, but I've known too many good guys who got them in the service, on a weekend pass and high on booze, to ostracize them on the basis of tats. They didn't have them all over their bodies either, usually on their arms and/or deltoids, although one airborne guy had a pair of lips on his buttocks.


Whatever happened to what's inside a person is what counts?

I have one tattoo. Got it in August. It's about 1.5" long and 0.5" wide and it's just an outline with a tiny touch of color. I was the exact same person walking out of the tattoo parlor as I was walking in. If anyone is going to pass judgement on me for something like that, I don't want them in my life anyway.

You are correct. I refuse to have any social interaction with someone so narrow-minded that he automatically makes all sorts of negative assumptions about a person just because they have a tattoo Now that's shallow. But back to the topic at hand. I would never do this because I want my tattoo to be a reflection of what I want; not what the artist wants. A free tattoo is worth exactly what I paid for it.
