Tattooed Idiots

[rondog]

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

Mine are original one-of-a-kinds.

What about my Chinese symbols that translate to "dumb tourist"?

There was a time when every tattoo had a meaning and a story.

Now that they are "mainstream" young people with no story point at some generic flash and swipe their gold card. They've lost meaning.

My older son has a sleeve, dedicated to his fellow soldiers that never came home along with the Combat Medic symbol. His other arm has a reference to his firefighter/paramedic career. On one of his shoulders he has an American flag motif with “This I Shall Defend” in it.

My younger son, who I love equally, has some dumb ass stuff on his back and arm along with a tribute to a good friend that passed from cancer. His very pretty wife has some decorative work that to me detracts from her outer beauty-she’s a wonderful person with a huge heart so I no longer notice any of the ink.

I came close to getting some work a very long time ago but the booze wore off and I bailed while waiting my turn lol.

Best tat I ever saw was on a friend who turned 18 and got an old school heart with Mom in it. His mom could not decide if it was the sweetest thing ever or if she wanted to kill him.

This^^^

There are still tats with meaning and a story but as you say "mainstream" has taken its toll and decorations rule.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

I saw a young lady with some nicely done Chinese characters tattooed on her right shoulder. I asked her what they said and she didn’t know! ��

Tattoos are kind of like wedding rings.

Some people feel like they need to get them or that they carry real meaning or demonstrate something.

But either doesn't change the person under it. If one has wandering eys, a ring (or vows, for that matter) won't change shit other than advertise a false promise. Otherwise, the ring, or lack thereof, means little to those who are loyal to their core, which is unfortunately, not the most common trait.

Tattoos are kind of like this. Ones in memory don't actually keep the memory if the person doesn't act in accordance with those lost. It's a cop-out. Others that have someone's name advertise a commitment, but the ink carries no value and carries a question... why do they feel a need to advertise an alleged commitment?

I don't have tattoos, or rings. I don't have a negative opinion of tattoos other than the self-inflicted victimation that often comes with it "It's not fair, I got passed up for a job.". Zero fucking sympathy. I do appreciate when people have tattoos in a way that advertises personality flaws, walking red flags are appreciated. That's why facial tattoos are awesome, btw.

PS: I am long married, never divorced.

TLDR: Actions speak louder than words, crap on a finger, or tattoos.

That bike was stolen and he doesn't have a license. Absolutely no other reason to park a bike in the bushes.

Without a doubt, or he?s running. I?d get the plate and just call it in. Maybe a vin if you can grab it with a confrontation
