And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Some of the better quality tats I've seen on the nets
IMHO. Tats, unless they signify belonging to a certain group (ei: airbourne reg) are symbols of narssicism. "Look at my skin, not the quality of my character." How else can you justify a tramp stamp or a tat on your back? Only people to see them are others, not you. Again. IMHO.
I have never understood the fascination with them. I grew up in the time that only the dregs of society would have them (excluding military, of course).
Tribals kinda make me laugh. Like you had no ideas or theme, you just wanted ink. I doubt 1% of those with tribals actually have any lineage whatsoever. Kinda cringey. No offense…but I laugh inside.
The only ones I like are the ones that are mis-spelled. What's with having barbed wire tat on your arm for a girl? Sorry you ain't tough. And those idiots who get a celeb or politician tat that quickly goes out of style. Or they get a tat of their current lover who dumps them.
I told my wife I wasn't against getting a tattoo but didn't have anything I wanted to be stuck with forever. "What about my name?" She asked. I said nothing. We're not married anymore and I still don't have a tattoo. Mrs Weasel (wife #2, improved model, til death do us part) and I were just laughing about that.
Got my first wife’s name tattooed on my chest the day before I started Ranger School. Not like I was going to spend the next two months crawling through mud and swamp with an immune system suppressed by starvation. No chance it could get infected. Finally got that nasty mess covered up about 7 or 8 years after the divorce.
For the most part, to me, the less-than-mental-giants spending thousands of dollars on body ink are young and stupid. Many will ask themselves, "WFT did I do to myself back in the day?" And yes, when I was growing up, people with body ink were considered "trailer park trash" and other low life's.
Save for military never understood this modern fascination with body art...especially pretty gals with full sleeves. Yet these are artists using a flexible canvas...one of them needs come up with a method that pictures one thing on the young age then when the arms and skin shrinks and shrivels creates an entirely different picture or message. Now that would be genius.
I got one at age 22 when I was still young and stupid, and in the army at Fort Campbell, and I regret having done so.
It's on my left inner forearm.
Underground comic character - Ashley Hamilton Roachclip III (one of the rare ones with 5 different colors).
8 years later I was a professional architect with my own business and "had" to wear long sleeve shirts when meeting with clients, because of my previous stupidity.
Like David Marks on the TV show "Wood Works" where he wears long sleeve shirts all the time (violation of safety rules - long sleeves around spinning lathes).
I met David at a woodworkers meeting one time and he had a short sleeve shirt on.
Yep, just like I thought, he had a Harley tat on his forearm. We still email back n forth from time to time.
I was standing in line waiting to get into the Ogden Theater in Denver. A lovely young blonde maybe 21 had inked onto the back of her calf, from achilles tendon up to the bend, Milhouse who is Bart Simpson's best friend. His arms were waving in anxiety as if he was calling out to Lisa, his unrequited desire. At least have Nelson pointing in derision "Haw Haw... you're a failure!" But Milhouse?? For the rest of your life?
About that swordfish tattoo....there's really only one position that this could be appreciated by the viewer, and if I were the viewer in that particular position, I'd probably be...... a little distracted to be appreciating the tattoo. But you never know.

ReplyDeleteAgain. IMHO.

ReplyDeleteThey are a bitch if you need a CAT scan.
ReplyDeleteShould have taken the several thousand bucks it cost to do that and bought ammo.

ReplyDeleteThen get another tat to cover the first. Ask me how I know.

Wanted a Big Red One tat when I was in the military. SWMBO thought otherwise. As usual, she was the smart one.

Tattoos: self abuse that lasts a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteA small, unobtrusive tattoo is OK for girls. A flower, a rainbow, Tweety Bird, stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteNo tat is a good tat.

ReplyDeleteThe only tat I would even consider are flames on the side of my dick,
