How the hell I missed this thread, I just don't know, but here I go...

Overdone, overwrought, overkill. I think tattoos fall in the same realm as footbinding. A horrible manner of self-expression, and one that's made worse today by its trendiness.

Only last night, I saw some little Asian girl with a full-on Medusa on her back. I have to say it's the only tattoo I've seen that was half way cool.

The barbed wire **** is boring. Lightening bolts and whatever equally so.

Want distinction? DON'T get a tattoo.

I drop my kid off at school, and see all these washed-up mothers with their runy-assed goddess and butterfly tats on their ankles, middle-aged girl guts, arms, sway-back backs above their droopy hineys, and sagging shoulders, and think, "man (or woman) that's only gonna' look worse when your kid really starts to notice you shouldn't have put that crap on yourself to begin with."

I look forward to the day all these so-called "hip" anti (but really supportive of) pop culture Social Distortion throwbacks look at themselves in a full-length mirror and realize their "creativity" has started to blur together because "age" (not maturity) has caused their skin to go leathery.

Want to change your look? Get a tan.
