The tattoos will look great when your 80 in the old folks home!:sick2:
But on a serious note, I believe tattoos can have their place if they have a significance to the person...say to honor one's service to their country, to honor or remember a loved one who was taken too soon...something like that.
It seems to me that everyone who has a ton of tats, especially radical ones that are always visible, say they are "expressing themselves" and "don't care what people think". IMHO, I think its a "look at me" thing. They don't want to conform to society or "fit in". I'm not trying to stereotype...that's just the way I see it.
As for tats having stories behind them, I have a lot of scars that tell stories too...especially my chain saw scar!:duck:I'm not a careless person, I just grew up as a kid who played outdoors and things happened. It made me the way I am.
This is just MY OPINION. I know plenty of tattooed people...and I don't think anything different of them. They are still great people. :grouphug: So, If you want a tattoo (or a body full) your are entitled...but you gotta expect, and be able to handle, being stereotyped from anyone who doesn't know you because first impressions are hard to overcome.
