Well said, 75. An associated disease, also a result of stupidity (wearing skinny jeans) is "plumber's butt for women".

First thing I thought when I saw this was about the glasses from this movie.

Maybe I am getting to old, I don't know. But I don't understand why folks want to get their body filled with tattoos. When I was growing up it was understood the only folks who had tattoos were men who had fought in a war with combat. Even then it was only a eagle, "mom", a flag or the best one a hula girl they could make dance. When you were first having battle with teenage hormones you would always try to get crazy uncle Louie to show you the hula girl dance that he got tattooed in Japan or some other exotic far away place in the world. Now folks have more bad paintings on their bodies than on the walls of a preschool.

The other place you saw tattoos were on circus and carny folk. But you only gave them the tickets so you could ride the tilt a whirl. You never got to close or talked to them because crazy uncle Louie knew about them and they were all ax murderers or so he told you.

willy, your right. Now a days it seems it is the younger people and I have no idea why. They may regret it in later years.

You're right..........there was a time when men had tattoos and girls had earrings!

When did that switch???????

"Bloody Mary is the girl I love... Bloody Mary is the girl I love.... Bloody Mary is the girl I love. Now, ain't that too damned bad?! " From "South Pacific

Good ol' Bloody Mary was a 300 lb. woman in 300 lb. clothes!

Not in South Pacific. It was a war ship.

For years I have considered getting a tattoo.  I grew up in the bible belt and was taught to believe that the body is a temple within which we worship God, and that defacing the temple was a sin.  As I grew older I began to see that as nonsense and started thinking about tattoos differently.

One thing I could never decide was exactly what I might want permanently inscribed on my flesh.  No message had sufficient resonance to trigger any action, but I did come up with an image I like well enough to consider using it.  It is the vignette on the Bank of Knoxville $3 note from 1860:



I'm thinking that the appropriate message for that image is something akin to "Together Forever, Running Free"

On an interesting side note, I was at a antique store here in Atlanta and they had a number of rocks that had been broken into large pieces. They were the stones used for lithographing confederate currency and had a perfect negative image of the notes on their face.
