Just never understood people wanting to use their body as a coloring book, but to each his own. Tattoos have been around for centuries, just not my thing.

Tattoos have gotten to be too mainstream. Just like Harley Davidson, even soccer moms and the weekend warriors have them. 40 years ago things were a lot different.......

Lincoln (one of my son's friends) was showing off his first tat some years ago
I asked him why he chose it.
Told me he wanted something different from everyone else.
It is too...
it's a giant Bea Arthur portrait with a "thank you for being a friend" banner on his over large fat upper arm

ain't no "mainstream" barbed wire or celtic stuff for Lincoln

Never got a tattoo. Marines and Navy time but never got around to it. Got nothing against it. Your tattoo does look of decent quality.

Not centuries. Eons.

Don't have one. You know when the po-po are looking for someone? You know what they broadcast? "Tattoo of a... on his...."

Oh, and Jacksonysk, not to be critical, but is the wind coming from behind and pushing the flames forward on that shoulder? You know that the U.S. Flag always hangs with the stars in the upper left corner, by law, but on the military uniforms, it is backwards on the left shoulder with the stars in the upper right corner so it doesn't look like the wind is from behind and the troopie is retreating. And where's the blood?

I have a couple, I think his is nice, but my rule of thumb is get something that really means something to you, so you won’t hate it in a few years…and the only women’s name to go on your body is your daughter! Again, no disrespect, just my thoughts
