Saw a sign on a tattoo artist's vehicle many years ago - "Your body is a temple. I'm just here to paint the walls."

Another consideration. Employment. I’m an ex Executive Recruiter (now retired). I hunted mostly management and executive candidates. Once you put on a necktie and grey suit with matching tie, body markings are a huge negative.
I’ve also been in politics. It’s also a huge negative there.
Not trying to be judgmental. Just passing on some realism. Its very real. I know guys that couldnt wear short sleeve shirts because they wanted to succeed and move up in the organization. Same goes for piercings.

None. I always sobered up while waiting when I was in the Navy.

WHEN I get back to my 'fighting weight' I am considering getting the family coat of arms on my left pec or shoulder blade.

Times have changed for the worse, that's for sure, on many accounts.

One of the funniest tattoos I've ever seen was on a client's backside. When I moved the sheet to work their hip a tattoo read 'Made you look'. I had to stop working for a few minutes because I couldn't quit laughing. Never would have thought this person would have had a tattoo, much less that one.

As our associate pastor said, after I told her my niece failed to graduate, after 6 years at various universities, ending with a certain school in Lubbock - "It's hard NOT to graduate from Tech."

I got one when I was 16 on my thigh. Dumbass mistake. Two other hands and I were clearcoating floors in the machine shop I was working at after hours. We were pretty high on fumes and had a few tall boys when we got through. There was a tattoo place across the street and we decided to get one. Neck and face tattoos are the worst. Glad I wasn’t that fukd up.
