Never had one, no reason to.

 

IMO nothing puts one in a certain socio-economic class like a tattoo. It's the first thing a cop takes note of, even though they sometimes have them too.

 

If you are trying to impress me with how tough you are with tattoos, forget it.

 

It would be an interesting statistical exercise to determine the average IQ of tattooed people.

 

As far as women go, I have yet to see one whose body was improved with a tattoo. They might as well wear a sign saying "I am a slut".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kinda thought about that the other day

 

Many of you know I work for an airline.

 

I was on the flight deck talking with the crew. Capt. had his jacket off, short sleeve shirt and he was sporting a full sleeve tattoo.

 

Never seen that before, but I'd like to believe his desire for tats doesn't affect his mental ability to pilot a couple of hundred souls through the air

    Finally!  I, for one, will be quite happy not to have someone walking towards me with terribly disfigured legs--which I assume to be the result of perhaps running through a burning house with the floor on fire, or the result of a horrible, dragging motorcycle accident.  Only to discover as they get closer that, no, those are really ugly tattoos, not horrific, healed leg injuries.   Ditto for arms.  Someone chose to brutally disfigure themselves.   As the OP said, nobody looks better with a tattoo--including Angelina Jolie.   And, they only look uglier and more ridiculous as the person ages--and sags.

The Maori in new zealand have tattoos.

I think they have a specific meaning.
