what is up with all the awful tatoos?






I got a couple of rules that I think make sense
- a straight dude should never have a tattoo in the small of his back unless he's planning on using it as part of his road-map for directions to his five hole.
- a tattoo can't be worse looking than the human wearing it. I have seen so many people (male and female) who have the obviously gone shopping at the $0.99 store for tattoos and have come back with the the kind of body art which looks like a piccasso. If your tattoo artist has the artistic ability of a Righetti you probably don't want him stabbing you with needles.
I see so many dudes and chicks with terrible tattoos and wonder every day what the hell came over them at the point of getting this permanently imbedded into their skin. What i'm seeing more and more of is tattoos that come up on people's necks and shaved head. Now this looks idiotic if you are lets say Stephon Marbury but then again you wear a tank-top jersey for your career so who gives a F but the guy that decides to get 'maria' on his neck or some dragon on his head and then hopes to ever get a normal paying job is completely out of his tits in my opinion.
The gym locker-room is where you see the worst ones, dudes have tatoos all over their heinous looking bodies and I'm left to wonder why nobody slapped some sense into them.
It's almost become a game now, who can get the most idiotic looking tattoo out there. Grand Prize is hopefully a lifetime of shame

david. am i the only one who calls you by your real name? anyways, i've been thinking the same thing about tattoos lately. the other day i saw a pretty girl but she was covered in tattoos. all over her arms. i was thinking, i hope she can spend her life in a non-corporate job cuz unless she's in the artsy field, she'll never get hired anywhere. i see 30-40 yr olds with tattoos all over their arms/legs and wonder if they totally regret that sh!t cuz they probably did it when they were like 18 impulsively.
