Tattooed Idiots

Tribal tats and acting outside of societal norms? Felon or agent.

Amazed about the mental state of patients these days: will not remove belly button ring for a lifesaving procedure, refusing an IV because it might scar their arm tattoo or?a 38 yr old male with tons of tats and piercings crying his eyes out in front of his family (his mother was so embarrassed) as we inserted a little old 20 ga IV in his wrist for an elective minor procedure. Weird times to be living in?.

You say that folks with tats get squamish reminds me of my wife?s doc who was going to do the C section and asked me if I had tats. I did not see how that matter but he told me him and the staff wanted to know because majority of the fathers with tats got sick if they saw the slightly gory procedure. I found that odd. But your experience seems to corroborate this.

FWIW, My DIL was severely burned as a child and used colorful tattoo as a way to hide most of that scarring. She has a full sleeve on one arm/shoulder and a good part of one leg. No neck/face stuff though.

My son started it as a form of support - or so he says. He also has his ears gauged like 1/2" (?) (yea, gross) but keeps them and full sleeves covered at work. They are both professional high income earners and can afford whatever they want to do to their bodies without sucking off the gov teat.

There are always exceptions to the rule...

At my gym I have seen a woman that has almost her whole face tattooed. She?s maybe in her mid to late twenties.

Waht amazes me is the number of people getting tats, everyone looks alike, I see very few "original" designs. Looks like individualism is gone and everyone looks alike

Are you saying the barbed wire I had tattooed on my bicep last night is out of style???

Damn.

Guess I'll sit here on my waterbed and read the newspaper. Maybe play with my fidget spinner and see if there is anything good on my 3D TV.

Add a Celtic cross to the barb wire and you'll be good.
