I saw a young man at Subway today who had a large, very dark tattoo on the side of his neck. I found it very distracting. Then I noticed that his teeth were largely black nubs. So I counted the other visible tats, and there were at least 5. With the boil-like bump on his cheek, I think “white-trash” pretty much sums it up. I’m reasonably sure he would be unable to spell, “Methamphetamine”.
That said, I look at a lot of young people with tats and wonder how they could not regret it at some point in their lives. And those hideous checkers in their ears.
Finally, let me add that I think tattoos that are not outlines in ¼” black ‘Look At Me!’ lines are pretty cool. If I wasn’t an old fart, I might consider one on my upper forearm – something for me to enjoy, but easily hidden.
