Tit for Tatt

This stuff kills me. The guy got a stupid tattoo on a whim, and so, he decides to fix it by getting an even bigger, stupider tattoo on top of it! Yeah, that looks better. I had a girlfriend who got a yin-yang symbol on her hip. She hated it. So she fixed it by getting a dragon tattooed, holding the yin-yang symbol. Hated it.
Eventually these people’s entire bodies will be covered by one enormous tattoo on top of another on top of another…
Hey doofus, this will be on you forever. Think a long time before you do it. For your entire existense, will you want to be seen with a “tribal” arm band? Me, I change outfits daily. I change my hairstyle every so often. I have more than one mood. And what I strongly believed even just a short time ago, I now question. Why the hell would I want anything on my body forever?
And the old tired cliche of getting a dead friend or a child tattoed on you… please. I love my family and friends and if I need a tattoo to show I love my daughter, I have a serious problem. I show my love by, like, actually loving.
A tattooed friend said that it’s addictive. Once you get one, you want more and more. He doesn’t really like most of his tattoos either, like most people I meet. I think it’s more like when you get a new car and it gets that first ding. After that, you really don’t care how many more dings it gets. It’s hosed.

Now, now Monty. I have only had one tattoo that I regret. And I have several. They are all in spots that can be covered when I’m at work because I have to look professional in this environment even if I’m nothing but a SoCal redneck.
I 100% agree with you when you say THINK LONG AND HARD before you get that first line drawn, pal. It’s not as easy as taking a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to it when you decide how wrong it is.
My second piece of advice here… Never, ever, put anyone’s name on your bod. This would be the one I regretted after my marriage fell apart.
I was branded “Al’s Girl” on my left shoulder.
It seemed like a super swell thing to do at the time. OOOOPS!
Talk about a wicked predicament… Get a divorce, find a new playmate.
Found myself in a fun situation until clothes started flying and there was my ex’s name staring my new playmate in the face.
On the brightside, it was easy to cover up with a couple of cutsie foo foo roses. But I was lucky.

I recall one gal who had really poorly done tattoos on her arms. One side had “I LOVE…” and then one name after another marked out. “Ted.. Joe… Mike..” The other arm appropriately had “Born to Lose”
I wish I had money to invest in tattoo removal companies. I could be very rich. When I came to Knoxville there was one tattoo parlor and it was manned by a rotating bunch of out of town artists who took weekly or monthly shifts out on Alcoa Highway. Now, they seem to be on every corner.

If I ever get another tattoo, it’s not gonna be my howling wolf or medicine wheel… It’ll be SPACEMAN SPIFF! Either that, or Steamboat Willie FLIPPIN’ YOU OFF, cuz that’s the way I roll!
Still, it’s good that Max had the courage to admit having a couple of Transformer’s tattoos on his legs… Because I have a feeling it was just a bit too embarrassing for him to show the G.I. Joe COBRA emblem on his nutsack.

I haven’t regretted my tat for a single moment. It was carefully chosen and placed, even if for all the wrong reasons, but it turned out to be perfectly right

Oh, I was thinking of Boxcar Willie…

I met a guy last year who had “Exit Only” tattooed on his lower back, with an arrow pointing to his ass. When I saw him a few weeks ago, he wanted it removed. I didn’t bother to ask why…
So, Lissa … tell us more about this tattoo?

Heh … wouldn’t you like to know?

I hope it’s not of Willie Nelson…

We’ll hope it’s not Homer, either.
Bwaaaahahahahaha.

[...] A couple of weeks ago, LissaKay mentioned she had a tatoo. I figured out where it was last night. Good job, Lissa! [...]
