The tattoos/ink on my back

No, but my brother that served in Nam had his entire body done after he got home. His neck and face he kept clear, but his back had a big bird all over it so when he flexed the muscles it looked like the bird was flying. I think it was an eagle, not sure.
 
Nope. Too painful. I have discussed this at length with friends who have tats and there is just no way I'd put myself through that. Although I was wondering if tat stories were kind of like fisherman's stories... a little bit embellished to make the story better.

Plus, if I ever gain a lot of weight or get wrinkles or get saggy, those tats would be trouble, wouldn't they?
 
In my 30 years in the military, I have seen all types of sizes and designs, including ā€œMOM.ā€ I did consider it a number of times, but fought off the temptation. Once when we were in Taipei, an Officer that was with the 3 of us had his wifeā€™s name tattooed to his shoulder near his heart. Maybe two or so years later, they were divorced. He had the name made into a design. Some of these artists are really artists.

At the nail salon where I have my nails done a couple of towns south of here , there's a Tattooist, directly opposite, and while my nails are being done I watch the never ending people in and out of there.. and the vast majority are women.
 
My brother has a couple, which is really unusual for him...he got them later in life. He's now wanting to get another one.
My first ex had them...prison tats. He wanted me to to get one, but I never did.
If, I didn't have such a fear of may be the ink poisoning me in some way, I might get one.
 
I have never had the slightest desire for a tattoo. Besides that, I've needed several skin cancers removed over the years and would not want to take any unnecessary chances with pollutants, inks, dyes, etc. - not now, and not even when I was 20 years younger.
