Re: Why do people go overboard on tattoos?

I have very sensitive skin. It would probably react badly to a tattoo. Therefore, I have never seriously considered it and don't know what I would get. The kid has a butterfly on her ankle. My oldest sister has Route 66 sign on her lower leg. My little sister's four kids all have multiple tats - mainly arms, legs, feet and back.

If I decided to take the risk, I'd go upper arm with Molly's choice or maybe this one.

I thought about getting one back in '88. I didn't.

I used to be anti-tattoo but they're so ubiquitous now that I don't care, and can even appreciate some of the more artistic ones. I still don't understand why people get a bunch of random ones all over that have no theme or cohesiveness. And I definitely don't understand why people go out of their way to show them off. There's a lady I work with that has a giant, crappy tattoo across her chest and only buys low cut shirts to show it off. Another lady has one on her shoulder blades and magically all of her clothes leave it exposed. We get it, you have a tattoo. No one gives a [expletive].

We've made sure we're done having kids, so I'll politely decline the free neutering.

Michael Scott: When I said that I wanted to have kids, and you said you wanted me to have a vasectomy, what did I do? And then, when you said that you might want to have kids, and I wasn't so sure, who had the vasectomy reversed? And then when you said you definitely didn't want to have kids? Who had it reversed back? Snip, snap! Snip, snap! Snip, snap! I did! You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
