Bad Tattoos

[Tokyo Kid]

Tatts look ugly, they can't be gotten rid of and there is only one single word for them..............DUMB

You know you can get rid of tattoos now with lazer, right? One of the reasons they have become more popular I guess.

good point but which in itself confirms just how dumb it is in the first place to get a stupid picture put on your skin just to prove that you "look" tough

Not everyone does it just to "look tough".

I have a tatoo of an American Eagle on my left deltoid. I got it in 1982, I was fresh out of jump school. It has some significance, but I will admit that it has much less now than it did then. I will never get another one, but that's me. My son is 19 and his chest and back are covered, all of them are nicely done, but I think it's way too much. I asked him not to do his neck, face, hands or forearms. The problem with tats, is that there are still people with narrow minds who will judge a book by it's cover. Life is hard enough, try to get a job with a tatoo of flames on your neck and see how hard it is.

I find it ironic that parents tell us to not judge a book by it's cover when we are young.

But as we get older they tell us first impressions count for everything.

These two concepts seem to contradict each other.

The stigma of body art still baffles me. I know lots of intelligent, well mannered people who have body art. I don't equate body art with drug use, stupidity, or low social status, anymore than what kind of car people drive.

Intolerant people make the world intolerable.

That's one of the reasons I like my tattoos, not having to deal with narrow-minded judgemental people. Of course, here in California these days, it's the people without tattoos that are becoming the minority.

I agree with you guys..... all of my son's friends are covered with tatoo's and they are all real good kids, with promising futures.

Anyone who thinks that a Tat on the neck or face somehow looks good has to be a moron with a brain the size of a peanut. It's usually cons in prison that do this crap.

Also, how stupid can a person be to think that anyone would want to employ such a fu*k up??
