Tattoos

But that guy is a multimillionaire. He can do whatever he wants, tattoo wise, and not give a [expletive] about never getting a job in an office like every other [expletive] like me. For every guy like him (he was a great drummer for Blink 182!) who can tattoo his face with impunity, there are a hundred thousand [expletive] 19 year olds delivering pizzas or working in sandwich shops who do the same thing to look cool.

The greatest thing, I have no idea who that guy is, some sort of NBA player?

Yes. His name is Chris Anderson and I just heard about him. Watching Sports Center w/hubby; he apparently pushed Tyler Hansbrough and is being suspended for one playoff game.

That guy is exactly the kind I'm talking about. Sure he's fine, he's good at basketball, but what about the moron in front of me at the DMV who was reading the lady behind the counter the riot act because he didn't have the 101 dollars to renew his registration because his "check" hasn't come yet. The only thing that guy will ever do is collect a check. A fast food place or Wal Mart might hire him. Other then that, unless he's a good bike builder or guitar player he's pretty much guaranteed to be living off the tax payer for life.

I get it, tatoos are cool, and your expressing your repressed self that society just doesn't understand. You and every soccer mom in the world, but seriously think about it before you cover every inch of your arms, legs, and neck with one.

The only tattoos I've ever considered getting have sentimental value. One was my fraternity's coat of arms. The other was a celtic knot drawn into the shape of an atom (because I'm a super geeky nerd). The knot portion was the electron cloud if I remember right. I'll see if I can find the photos I was originally planning on using. Basically I would get them behind each shoulder blade - somewhere where they would never be seen in a work setting.

Something similar to this for my fraternity coat of arms.


Something like this what I was looking at for the atomic celtic knot.

Looks like Yadi has a new one on his arm.

I think tattoos maybe still retain some taboo for men when it comes to work prospects, but not for women. I was in a bar on Saturday and almost every woman in that place had some kind of elaborate back tattoo or sleeve. They are so ubiquitous among women that I don't even bother to evaluate them on an artistic level anymore. I just see ink on skin. There wouldn't be many women left to hire if that prevented you from getting a job.

Sometimes people just make stupid decisions. That's what I say whenever I am asked about my tattoo. I wish I hadn't done it but I did. It doesn't mean I was destined to work at taco bell or a gas station. It just means I made a poor decision. I challenge anybody to say they haven't made a poor decision

My dad had a tattoo with his former wife's name in it. My mom use to tell him to have it removed ..he would then tell her why don't you just change your name.

Is it on your neck or face, though?

A tattoo that's covered up when you wear a shirt isn't anything bad today. Nobody would blink an eye. You may even be in the majority.
