"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tattoos. But they should have meaning. Not just that I was high watching Game of Thrones...."
"It’s a six-week healing process each time you get one removed. So each tattoo is 10 to 12 sessions. That’s 60 weeks of your life right there on just one tattoo."

The wrong tattoo could end you up in a Salvadorean prison.
Now ponder the trans madness, Pete. And it is NOT reversible.
Foolish is as foolish does.
Tattoos are a persistent, crude expression of diversity, and sometimes Diversity.
The regret of permanence.

Tats are the worst cultural development in the last 20 years. I cringe when I see them on women.
The worst are tats on old people, the skin sags and whatever was originally inked fades into chaos.
His tats are no longer hip. Yeah, Pete, when everyone is hip, what is "hip"?
God have Mercy.
God have Mercy.
Silly spot response. Flash memory of Kelsey Grammar as a sub commander in “Down Periscope” who got drunk because of a “brushing incident” with a Russian sub that threatened his Navy advancement.
He woke up the next morning with a hangover. And a tat on his dick - “Welcome Aboard!”
What is the meaning of that tat? For a Navy man? And how drunk must you get in order to have that puppy removed? And if you are Arnold Palmer or the infamous Milton Berle, is advancement in the Navy worth removing such good advertising? If you like this advertisement, “then hit like and subscribe!”
Work on the easy to remove dumb stuff first, Pete...you know, like the white fingernail polish.
Viva Maria -
During my internship, I served with a mid-career Navy dermatologist who had a collection of photos of his sailor-patients' tattoos. It was unbelievable. A few of the extraordinary ones that I recall:
- an eye in the middle of the forehead.
- "Fuck You" on the pinky edge of the right hand, the idea of which you might understand if you consider it from the POV of the officers he had to salute. (I would have thought that he would have earned himself an administrative discharge for that drunken night's work in some Asian tat shack...)
- an amazingly not uncommon one -- a fly on the head...and I'm not talking about the one at the end of your neck! (Jesus, how many San Miguels do you have to chug before you let a guy with a needle come at you like that?!)
- My favorite and the most incredible: a long (1/2 human body length) snake. Its tail started at the left collarbone. Then the creature wrapped around the back of the guy's neck, over his right shoulder, down his chest and abdomen and ended at his belly button, as if disappearing into some weird umbilical hole in the ground. (Know what's coming?) It was next to be seen emerging from his butt crack, having just "exited" through another hole, then writhed across his left butt cheek, around his thigh and ended with its head right above his left knee! Simply unreal.
Ice Nine, hilarious. Amazing. Thanks for the jest!
Repent in expense
I had a shipmate who had a ship's propeller tattooed on each butt cheek. Above them it said "90 Turns [RPM] and No Smoke!"
Always struck me as pretty ship specific.

I once heard about a guy who had "Hey" tattooed on his penis. But when erect it said "Have a nice day"
And there was a legendary, probably apocrophyl but who knows Navy Machinist Mate who had a big M on each cheek for MM (Machinist Mate). When he bent over it said MoM.

Sorry, forgot the "Now this ain't no shit..." above to mark my sea stories as absolutely, 100%, guaranteed to be truly factual.
If they had been fairy tales, they would start "Once upon a time.."

You know my opinion of tattoos.
"The three-body problem in physics refers to the motion of three celestial bodies (such as planets or stars) that interact with each other through gravity. It involves determining their subsequent trajectories using Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation. No general solution exists for this problem."
When tattoos get in the way.
If you put dye in your body, thou shall surely die.
If/when Dems control government again there will be a push to force insurance companies to cover tattoo removal (once enough low-income voters demand them.)
Years ago I served in the Navy with a Warrant Officer who had a fly tattooed on the end of his penis. I know this because when he got a few drinks in him he would wave it around. Eventually this earned him a reprimand for Conduct Unbecoming.
At the time the Navy frowned on enlisted men getting tattoos. An old chief explained that a tattoo is the sort of identifying mark that makes it easy to pick you out of a lineup.
The meaning of meaningless, a rebel with and without a clue.
They could have just held him face down and shaken vigorously.
I’ve always thought the rise in popularity of tattoos among young whites was an unconscious impulse to self-punish for racial privilege while subtly asserting superiority over non whites. Kind of like woke-ism.
Having spent $200,000, the comedian has described the experience as ‘horrible’. It’s not just the cost that’s painful, says Esther Walker" (London Times).
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
"Turlington's lower back tattoo remover."
SNL's best effort since the millennium rollover. I was actually stupid enough to believe that bit would have a retarding affect on the spending habits of ink-envious retards. You cam imagine my embarrassment.
Italics off
I have never even placed a bumper sticker on a vehicle of mine. Too permanent.
FWIW I recall years ago there was Federal funding for a local program (California IIRC) to remove gang related tattoos. The purpose was to make these people more employable.
It was my go-to example of Federal over reach. The idea MAY have had merit. It sure as hell should not have been a Federal responsibility.
In Australia tattoos were popular among the working and unionized class, the Bogans. Sleeves on the arms or legs were popular. Upon questioning it was about 3 things: Australasian , Māori, and Polynesian cultures were tatoophylic; Beach culture makes you express yourself bodily,; and sailor culture opens you to tattoos.
I and my children are non tat European derived specimens.
Italic tattoos are for trans.
This seems appropriate and just.
My Chinese GF Qin was just here, visiting me for a wonderful eight-day visit. She had told me on a previous visit (at a beach) that the Chinese people look down on tattoos on women. So this visit I had fun explaining to her via Google translate and some other apps, exactly what a "Tramp Stamp" was and why it was placed on that part of a girl's body. She wasn't quite horrified, but you can imagine...

So you’re saying you have commitment issues.
(I kid)
Bunky, I feel that way about big fancy wheels on cars. Manufacturers and much of the public haven't caught on.
Everybody knows he's an @hole, so he no longer has to advertise it.

Just to refresh; Rusty's theory of Tattoos, piercings and lycra. Very few people,( Roughly 2%), look good in tattoos, or piercings or lycra. The odds that you are one of those is vanishingly small. Proceed accordingly.
I wish to post a short "Harumph! Harumph!" on behalf of my late, prescient friend Thomas E. Fuller. He's been gone since 2002, but several times back then he said to me, "If I had money to invest, I would put it into a chain of strip mall tattoo-removal parlors." Full marks, Thomas Megatherium, the Wordsmith!
I have a niece who found this out the hard way. Being interviewed by law firms is as much a beauty and social graces contest as is the knowledge of legal stuff. And a full sleeve of jarring images tattooed on yourself doesn't help.
