Tattoo

What is it with bikers and tatts? I mean is there some rule that says if you want to ride a Harley, then you must have as many tattoos as possible? And some of their tattoo designs are truly weird. I mean some have those traditional biker tattoos like Harleys and bikes and stuff. But some have snakes and hawks and women. My favorite are the people who are dumb enough to put someone’s name on their person. Don’t they know that most relationships don’t work out. Some people put their kids names on them, but I think it is kind of weird to tattoo your kids name on your body. I guess that’s just me.

What about big guys who put MOM on their arm? Okay, so you have a mommy complex and you want everyone to know about it. There are millions of tattoo design out there and you choose to put MOM on your arm. This is really odd to say the least.

I have seen roses, very popular amongst the women, especially on their breasts, backs and ankles. I think it is really cute, but what happens when you stop being cute and start being really old. Think about it, you’re in the nursing home at 80 and covered in tattoos. And what about when your skin gets wrinkly? How will those tattoos look then? I mean we all know that when you get old your boobs are gonna sag and then what, you will have a rose around your knees?

I guess maybe that is why bikers are mostly tattooed. They probably figure they have reduced their chances of getting old and looking dumb with their tattoos. Riding a bike probably reduces their chances of ever living that long. (Okay, so by now you can tell that I am not a biker or a tattoo artist.)

Anyway, I do find the occasional tattoo to be attractive, yes even on women. I prefer a single tattoo. On men, on the arm is the preferred and on women I think I like the little ankle wrap arounds the best.

I have considered getting one of those little ankle tattoos and I have even gone to a tattoo online gallery to look at tattoo designs. There are some really attractive tattoo designs out there, but I am just not sure that I am ready to try it…yet.
