Wasn't there a time when getting a tattoo was a sign you were your own person? Now I just see a bunch of Lemmings. I don't have any, my wife has too many. I couldn't hate them much more. True story. She knows I hate them. She got that stupid one from Boondock Saints on her shoulderblades and didn't tell me. I first saw it in the dark while we were fooling around. I was so angry, it is soooooo ugly and stupid and unoriginal. People that want to smoke weed and get tattoos have freedom in this country. My freedom grants me the right to think you are a brain dead idiot for doing either.
Not in a million years unless it was for medicine. My dad made Cheech and Chong look like Mormons. No job, no life. No thanks.
I got my first (and only) tattoo in the back of a store in Singapore (where it was seriously illegal....but cheap) in 1973. That was back in the day when pretty much bikers and sailors were the only ones getting inked. I'm not sure if it was peer pressure, along with the copious amounts of alcohol or the large quantity of high powered Malaysian weed that inspired me to have it done. Probably both.....fortunately, somewhere from deep within the haze I made the decision to have it placed where no one would ever see it unless I wanted them to. To this day I have lifelong friends who have no clue whatsoever that I am one of those horrible tattooed freaks. Personally, I like good ink (though there is an amazing amount of bad art out there) and usually compliment the individual and ask about its' origins, etc. The one thing I would like to say in these instances (but don't) is to point out how quickly all those beautiful colors are going to fade, leaving them with a blue black outline that's going to stretch, sag and lose definition as they get older. And so many folks have them where they can't be hidden. My nephew just had a quarter sleeve (beautifully done) at the cost of $1200(???). I guess my points are that tattoos are ridiculously expensive self gratification that don't justify the investment over time, and that I'm living proof that the whack job Christians must be right Weed does lead to tattoos.......so pass that bong over here....I'm trying to build up the courage to neglect my (adult) children and introduce them to drugs....
The human body, especially the females, is one of the most beautiful creations of all time. I might be old, but many females still take my breath away. No females with visible tattoos do, no matter how well built they are. I understand there maybe legitimate personal reasons to get a tattoo, such as the name/portrait of a family member that passed away. Tattoos with a private meaning should be kept private. All publicly visible tattoos on a female are uglier than the human body, no matter the reason for it. Tattoos make a female appear to be dirty and possibly unhealthy. And it begs the question, what issues are they trying to camouflage? Or, why do they need to go to such extremes to attract attention? Visible tattoos for men, well we are just stupid sometimes.
It's against Jewish law. But my sister has a bunch anyway. I'm the family atheist with no tats. For the same reason I don't drink coffee. Just don't like it. No deeper reason.
Well, when I got the tattoo of the lemmings running up my arms, onto my shoulders, and then leaping off my back, it really was unique. I can't help it if a bunch of people copied me. Although I suppose if I didn't want imitators I shouldn't have done that photo spread for Life Magazine. barfo
Lemmings were a happy lot until the first Lemming got a Barfo tattoo on his butt. The first lemming was so depressed he jumped to his death, soon followed by the others. The rest is history.
