Tats, sleeves, socks, why the whole body covering attraction

I have one on my shoulder for my dad, died when I was 16, and a phoenix on my back, cuz I thought it was cool at the time, but it looks like **** (want it removed)
 
They say they have a "story" to tell.
I prefer not to hear it.
Seems like these people have such a low sense of self esteem and are just trying for attention.
As for the MS13 gang types it is a rite of passage or initiation.
My grandson and his wife are covered in sleeves. He got upset with me when I called their tattoos "tramp stamps".
 
I have sleeves, starting in 1982 when I joined the military. Just did it, I like it.
When people start a rant about tattoos I think about my little brother in college. He was a Marine went to college went to law school tried working in the public forum for government didn't like it went back in the air force to be in Jag he has four tattoos. Each one of them is a girl's name covered up by something other than a girl's name skulls Marine insignia lightning bolt and his MOS. They look manly enough and knowing the story behind them no pun intended I think it's okay I've seen some god-awful ones though. And I remember one it was a frog that was Easley covered with your thumb on a very nice place on a very nice girl that I'm sure I'll remember forever. When I was in college everybody wanted to get the paternity tattoo on their ankle I just never got around to it. Wouldn't have minded and from what I understand they fade because of the skin on your feet is very tough. The only other one I think I would have entertained would be see other side on my thigh and on my rear end just to confuse people. And I told her boss one time that I wanted to tattoo his face on my rear end so when I was in the shower it would look like he was whistling but that was just me. I work for a local government for a while and we had inmates and they all had our of some kind or another. Never really asked a lot of them about it because you don't want to get involved in their lives because they try to suck you in. But I never really thought that Meme I would have been happy if her death was mortalized on the back of the shoulder of her grandson done with ballpoint ink and needle and a match. I guess I'm old school cuz when I see the ones all over their face there was a picture on ODT a few months back have a woman who had a skull tattooed on her face and I just think what in the heck were these people thinking.
 
Yea I got a few. We'll get all the tattoo haters and we'll all have a royal rumble at the next M&G

My stepson has several. Most look like jailhouse tats. lol
It's funny, when he was a kid he didn't want to be around his dad because of all his dad's tats and most of his are jailhouse tats.

Personally I could care less.
 
Have just the browneye tat on my hindparts I was born with........I like sticking out in the crowd these days cause everybody else has a tattoo....or two......not my thing but my thing may not be their thing. Just don't interfere with me doing my thing cause you are offended or you don't get the attention you feel you require for doing your thing...:cool:. If I was really out of shape ,say like Larry The Cable Guy, a tattoo would be the last thing on my mind. From my perspective they are more attention grabbing on a fit person. But again my thing aint yo thing. I spend 35.00 a month at my gym others spend 35.00 a month on ink. Variety is the spice of life!
