We don't want to fight but by Jingo if we do

We've got the ships, we've got the men, we've got the money too
We've fought the Bear before, and while we're Britons true

The Russians shall not have Constantinople.

I bet it's a bald eagle taking a crap on a map of the middle east.

My brother in law is covered with them from head to toe, not for me but his do have meaning and are well done. They also make him highly recognizable which helped him to gain fame and be seccussful. He's obviously good at what he does also.

I have none, considered quite a few over the years but ever do it and for the most part am glad I didn't. If I could have decided on something when my mom died its probably the only one I wouldn't currently regret. I've considered the ring tat. I don't like to wear my ring because I'm worried about it catching on something and losing my finger. My wife gets upset at me for not wearing it.

Is he that drummer from Blink 142?

I worry the same and probably shouldn't wear mine at work.

The thing about tattoos is that no matter how mainstream they get, the face ones will always make people think you're crazy.

Consider Mike Tyson.
He made a career beating the ever living [expletive] out of people.
He raped a lady.
He said he wanted to eat Lennox Lewis' children.

He said "I'll eat your a-hole alive...I'll F you til you love me" to a reporter in practically the same breath he called the reporter a derogatory term for homosexuals.
Hit bit part of a guy's ear off.

Mike Tyson did so much crazy stuff for a while there seemed like there was no crazy stuff left for the Lohans of the world to do.

Then he got a face tattoo and that's when people went "Hey, Mike Tyson has kinda lost it."

Another year away and now back (it's catching on in Vietnam among the youth now as well) and it's just gotten worse. Haven't been to the hipster district yet, but I'd have to guess given the pervasiveness that lots of them are 'post-tattoo' by this point, which is probably a problem in some of those pissing matches; easier to delete outdated music than permanent fashion choices.

My gf has tattoos and got a new one I didn't like while we were dating. Pretty visible, black rings anywhere from one+ to half an inch thick circling around the back of her forearm. She had told me about potentially getting it (several months before) but didn't tell me she got it or was going to get it until I saw it. It was quite a turnoff to me but I realized that I was(am) prejudice about tattoos and date her for who she is and shouldn't let the culture I was born into imbue me with ignorance.

My buddy has tattoo on his calf with name of long since ex gf.

A turnoff is a turnoff. You're not married, cut bait now. Tattoos beget more tattoos, she's not stopping now.

Forearm tattoos are a precursor to neck tattoos. Neck tattoos are a precursor to face tattoos.
