I’ve always thought a tattoo should make a statement. I have a friend that has “WHITE TRASH” tattooed across the tops of his toes. Now that’s a statement!As for me, I’ve had shoulder surgery and thought a small zipper along the scar would look cool, but my wife said no. Oh well, maybe if it was her idea, that would be different.

Interesting set of tattoos. I like that many seem to have meaning, though a couple that make statements like “when I realized I needed a tattoo” seem to fuel the tattoo taboo.

Can’t understand ppl that say “imagine what they will look like when you get older” as if you might look at someone who is 70 and say “gee, if only they didn’t have that worn out tattoo they would have simply fabulous skin!”

Insane tattoos, I think they all look great. I love tattoos, in fact I plan on getting one as soon as possible. And it will be a Harry Potter tattoo, not because it’s a fad but because I grew up with the books and they helped me, not just because I “think it’s cool.” So I love the Weasley one. I plan on getting a snitch, somewhere. :)
Some tattoos are absolutely horrible, but most I’ve seen are great. I love the Cotton one by the way, original. Hahahaha. :D Most tattoos mean something, and that’s why they are beautiful. If you get them for fun, then I condem you, but not if they are special to you. ♥

Richard Y’s tattoo is my favorite.
I can’t believe the intricacy of the design…incredible.

I’m a wuss when it comes to needles, but if I were going to get one, I’d think about going the sun stone route.
I mean, I am a Spanish major (although sun stones are derived from the Aztecs)

“I love tattoos! I collect them! I work at a funeral home, and I remove them from the body before burial. They don’t seem to mind too much, and nobody ever knows anyway. I have over 300, and I have 5 large back tattoos that are framed on the walls of my hallway! I would never get one on my own body, but hey, why bother? I have plenty as it is! So thanks, and keep ‘em coming!”

This made my day. I do not have tattoos. I do not care if others have tattoos. Takes all sorts to make a world. Including creepy funeral home workers.

Wow, some people’s lives must be utterly fabulous if they have nothing better to whine about than tattoos on other people’s bodies. Health tip: If you think these photos are worth getting your panties in a twist about, don’t read a newspaper or you’ll probably have a heart attack!

To all those that are talking about tattoos being gross when you’re older… how many elderly people go around flashing lots of flesh anyways?

A tattoo, if well thought out, is a work of art and should be appreciated as such <3

My beef with tattoos.

i have seen lots of tattoos that are junk. Many that are clever and a few that are funny.

But, i have never seen a tattoo that makes a person look more attractive.

It’s like graffitti on the side of a beautiful home.

Shame on you for disfiguring your body

I really enjoyed the tattoo of the candy box that the woman’s grandfather drew for her. I have a tattoo of my Czech nickname that my grandfather used to call me, he has since passed, and I am very happy I got it.
