I remember when I was a kid growing up in Liverpool I used to get the bus back from work everyday past an old timey tattoo parlour called Son of Sailor Jack, this was when I was about 17-18 in the early 80's when only sailors and old geezers had tattoos. I used to think I'll need to get off the bus one day and go in there and get something done, jeezo am I glad I didn't. As everyone has said it's about personal expression and everyone is free to do what they want within reason, but that freedom works both ways, just as ppl are free to get themselves covered in drawings, other ppl are free to to see tattoos in a negative light. With me it's nothing to do with what kind of person gets a tattoo, cuz as I said already it's mainstream now, it's more to do with the permanence of it. It might seem like a good idea now, but in 20-30 years time you are just going to look like a looser with poor judgment who was sucked in by a stupid fad that has gone out of fashion. Not that any of that will change anyone's mind, in fact it will probably harden their resolve that tattoos are a great idea, good luck when you are 80 and your tattoos look like they have been left out in the rain too long and they have all spread and ran together. jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11252970926038478691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-12258822089943027982015-09-25T02:30:35.328-04:002015-09-25T02:30:35.328-04:00@9:24am You're replying to me (4:14am) almost ...@9:24am You're replying to me (4:14am) almost a half hour to an hour and a half into your workday assuming it starts whenever between 8 and 9am?

You remind me of everyone who ran his or her mouth about how people looked in highschool. You think tattoos are ugly? Ok, then continue to not get them, don't look at them, and keep your trap shut about them like you keep your trap shut about them away from your keyboard and in front of people who have tats.
