well next time do not use a dyslexic tattoo artist and it will not say P oo p -
The "H" in my "YAMAHA" tattoo looks more like an "M". I keep it covered in certain neighborhoods.

The current generation's fascination with tattoos escapes me. A young fellow at work recently had a "Ford" tattoo done on his arm; shortly thereafter his beloved Ford got destroyed by his own negligence and now he drives a Honda. Perhaps he should've spent that tatt $$ on tires???

No doubt! Many are blanketed top to bottom with all kinds of "stuff" I would not call art. One thing many forget or are ignorant of, MRI's and CAT scans. Many tattoos are based in metallic type of ink and from what I hear it plays havoc with that scans and some instances will burn like fire. So sitting still in the machine while you are burning alive so to speak is impossible. My last tech that did my MRI scan i asked a lot of questions about why the tattoo questions so she filled me in. -
I guess I'd consider getting one that says JE Labs Simple 2A3 SE DHT -- but all of my limbs are too short.

In the year I turned 21 I got 14 tattoos, nothing really big and mostly spread out while not visible in normal circumstances. I spent maybe a total of $50 (having a tattoo artist as a friend has it's perks). I have yet to get another one since, I just don't know anything worth it until I have another kid and get their name on me like I did with my daughter.
Does it matter if that's what they like to spend their money on though? I mean we spend countless dollars chasing air vibrations so what if someone else spends their money to modify their body. Dont hurt me none.Just a dude doing dude-ly things

I'm afraid that I exist on the other side of some cultural/age/sociological divide when it comes to ritual mutilation of flesh -- tattoos, piercings, etc. I do try to be philosophical, I understand that they have become more or less fashionable, but I - personally - find them (all) distasteful if not creepy.
that said, it's not up to me, or what I think, is it?
that said, I think that - as a very young man, Pete Townshend had profound insight into the whole issue, which he expressed with remarkable facility in (I'd opine) one of his best early songs.

I mean, whatever. I would not want that on my arm. Seen plenty of Harley tattoos on folks so I guess this isn’t any different. I had some ink done in my early twenties, no big deal.Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.

Tattoos aren’t my thing, certainly don’t ever see myself getting one, but I can see the enjoyment behind it for other people.
I do think though, that if I ever did get a tattoo, it’d be a image of my Lafayette receiver.
Or, you could tattoo your face on your forehead, and for accuracy you would have your face on the face on your face, etc. -
