Tattoos are all the rage
-
And apparently, have been for a while[^], with newspaper headlines as far back as 1893 announcing this "new" fad among the genteel and educated classes.
I don't get tattoos; just don't see the point.

People get tattoos to make a statement. I don't know if I want to say the same thing, ten or more years from now.

"Habit not confined to seamen only" I like that! I never was in the Navy but I shot a lot of seamen. :)

I wanted to get a tattoo when I was 13 years old. I am glad I never followed through with that thought. At 66 years old I doubt that I would want to make the same statement. :doh:

I guess I am getting my first tattoo on Thursday. Just three little dots so they can line the machine up for radiation treatments. :(

I probably could have phrased the first part better: "Having a tattoo makes a statement." The remainder of my post still applies.

I had been wanting to get one since college, but I didn't want to get some generic, off-the-flash one. I finally found an artist I liked who gave me a unique design: a bear totem from the Pacific Northwest that had been restyled to look like a Maori tribal design. It is on my calf, where aging and changes in weight are less likely to smear it. I agree with you that many tattoos seem to have been gotten while drunk or under the influence of peer pressure. But many are also the result of research and careful thought. I my case, it is a design that I identify with and have no problem being marked with indelibly.

Tattoos are a very personal thing. If you get one it should mean something to you. Some people just get it to show off or for the shock value. I don't agree with that practice at all. I have 15 so far, including 2 Quake and one Unreal tattoo. All 15 mean something and reminds me of something. I can respect people for deciding not to have any. Having a diverse world make it much more interesting.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good
