Mrs. C, thanks, a lot, for pointing out that google link. I’ll never look at my cat, or my stomach the same way again.

I’m of the opinion that only sailors should have tattoos. Specifically, the hula girl that can dance when they flex their arm.

When my niece came home with a shamrock on her stomach, my sister-in-law said, “When you’re pregnant, it’s going to look like broccoli, and when you’re old, asparagus.”

Mr C and I saw a woman in her mid-sixties covered with tattoos at an outdoor festival. She appeared to be a former biker chick back in the day, but now she looked like she was rode hard and put away wet. Her tattoos didn’t fare much better. We thought there should be a poster of her on the front door of every tattoo parlor, food for thought.

Recently, I’ve seen the Morton Salt girl tattooed on a girl’s ample calf, City Hall with William Penn flipping the bird on a guy’s arm, and a gigantic Spiderman black spider on a guy’s back at the pool. If you weren’t familiar with the comic, you would think it was a large tick. The human body is not a sketch pad.

Finally, if you go to Google images, and type in “man with a cat tattoo on his stomach” you will understand why I despise tattoos.

Jon – Sadly, no such luck.

MeToo – Tongue piercing. I don’t get that, either.

Ingineer66 – Ba-dump-bump!

RAPH – Some more than others, apparently.

Captain – Lesson of the day: Don’t overdo it.

CP – I almost got one in college. My lacrosse team got two crossed lax sticks with the words SJU Hawks Lacrosse above and our number below. I chickened out. My parents would have disowned me.

my cousin found out the hard way that after the kid her rose tatoo wilted.

Best tatoo ever was on a sailor I knew. He had “Your Wife’s Name” on his johnson, and would bet folks $20 (or a beer if he was broke) that he had “your wife’s name” there.

I just could never get drunk enough to get one anywhere, much less THERE.

Ladies have to be super careful before getting ink. After all it’s tough to improve on the greatest work of art. Tramp stamps get weaker with age. Thigh tats are out as are bicep (unless you’re going all the way) A sexy little ankle tat or a slinky little shoulder flower is usually way cool and plenty.

Oh! And here’s a little public service message for those ladies that have “outgrown” their “tramp stamp”.

As an old school member of the biker subculture, I had an interesting comment from a black friend of mine. He said he was (jokingly) “offended” by the term “colored” being applied to him. He said:

“I’m just black……Y’ALL are colored.”

I had a girlfriend once that had a tattoo of a sea shell on her thigh. When you put your ear up to it, you could smell the ocean.

Just not a fan of the body art. I did laugh uncontrollably when my brother heard his daughter’s tattoo on her lower back referred to as a “tramp stamp”, however. Wonder if he knows she also has her tongue pierced? Christmas holidays should be fun!
