Tattoos

Bob

Had a tiny quaver on his arm which looked good. Restrained. Edel. 

Unknown to most people he had a B on one arse cheek and a B on the other. Bend over? Spelt his name.

BOB.

Why?

It wasn't that long ago in Europe that Tattoos represented something very sinister. Nowadays? It seems to have exploded. Especially on women.

Covering up a scar, I get. But, I've read that around 38% of women have one. Compared to 27% of men.

wtf is all that about?

Maybe because I'm old and out of fashion but I see tattoos on people my age that they had done in their teens and they look shite now. Faded etc.. 

Talking of fashion, what you ink today will probably mean FA in 40 years time. 

So content is shite and presentation is shite. 

on fingers? neck? face?

Is it a Masochism thing? Is it low esteem and the need to be noticed? I don't have the answer, hence the post. I personally think they love the pain.

After my "fall" I have some scars left. Change in colour of skin. Looks like I had a tattoo removed. 

Daisy's skin looks lovely. Tattoos don't. 

Think before you ink.
