So I’m sitting on a river’s edge at a family reunion. Just about everyone I look at is tattooed. Most I see I can’t read or are a picture of something I cannot figure out what I’m looking at. Some I can figure out are a picture of the stupidest things.
I just don’t get it.

Don’t get a tattoo where a judge can see it.

If the good Lord would have meant for me to have tattoos, he would have made me a Billboard Sign instead of a human being.

Tattoo's years ago were meant to make a statement. Now everyone has them and it is mainstream. If I want to make a statement while disfiguring my body I am going to do something original like use a soldering iron or something.

I don’t understand them at all - and yet am continually amazed at the number of people that have them. And like you said most of them don’t have any meaning that I can figure out

Do what you’d like to your own body but I also wonder what most people think about their tattoos when they are old

Tatoo regret when they start aging, Removing them is no walk in the park not that I would know about it.

Each to their own.

With all of our freedom and liberty at stake and under attack these days, if someone wants tattoos, I'm sure not gonna disagree with their choice.

It's their body. They can do as they please.

Now if the govt mandated that I get one, we'd have a problem.

I do not recognize the world around me anymore.

Got a few when I was young, but they can't be seen unless I go shirtless. If I could do it over I'd never have gotten any. Feels like somebody running a sewing machine over the same spot for an hour, and I actually paid for this. Pretty foolish to me now

I don't get it either. My Dad had a tattoo on his arm of the ship he was stationed on during WW2, as Dad aged the battleship turned into a canoe looking thing.

As a doctor friend of mine said when the tat craze had started “Lots of these girls getting a butterfly tattooed on their butt at 20 are going to have Big Bird at 60”.

They get them so you will notice the tattoo rather than their shortcomings. Its a distraction.

Tattoos are as foreign to me as body piercings...they beg the question, why? That said, I saw one many years ago, before they became a popular 'thing'. This 60-ish able bodied seaman/ rigger had a full rigged Pacific lumber steam schooner on his chest, the Wapama later re-named the Tongass...'twas a thing of history and executed flawlessly. Like a lot of wire rope riggers, he had the upper body musculature of a champion weightlifter and the tattoo that just hollered, 'been there, done that'. He claimed to have served his apprenticeship aboard her on the Alaska run during the depression.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I am sure I have spent more on guns than most spend on tattoos.

I don't see the fascination with them, but to each their own. I will say that I have to shake my head at the people who I see asking for advice on what to get for their next tattoo as if it's as casual a thing as choosing between fast food restaurants for supper.

Just think, everything you had to pay to see at a sideshow when I was a kid, can now be seen for free at Walmart.
