Ex Presidents....
Andrew Jackson, James Polk, And Teddy Roosevelt had ink. So did RH Macys, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill and his mama. Czar Nicholas 2 of Russia had ink. Grace Kellys daughter Princess Stephanie of Monaco and Caroline Kennedy have ink too. JS0 -
Having ink doesn't make you any less of a person. I'm a nurse and I have ink. That doesn't make me less of a nurse. I have a lot of wisdom to take care of cancer patients. My boss has ink and my charge nurse has ink. Guess what? My team can rival any of the big hospitals any day because of the wisdom we contain. Our patients get the best of care. Yes age does bring wisdom but apparently it brings ignorance too.3

I don't have any tattoos. I'm into art, so I'm pretty uneasy with the idea of something permanent on myself without getting exactly what I want. I'm into macabre stuff so as far as tattoos go I have an artist in mind, and he is ideal for the kind of tattoo I want, but I just cant think of something crazy enough to this point lol Paul Booth is the artist0

Just my opinion.
My boss doesn't have ink.
My pastor doesn't have ink.
My Sunday School teacher doesn't have ink.
My banker doesn't have ink.
The guy from whom I bought my pickup doesn't have ink.
The Little League coach doesn't have ink.
My wife doesn't have ink.
Come to think of it, I can't think of a personal friend who has ink.
On the other hand:
The janitor at the office has several tattoos.
On the news, the mugshots of criminals have several.
The homeless guy panhandling on the corner has ink; a lot.
Guess it just depends on whom one would like to emulate.
Yeah, I'll be 70 in a few months.
With age comes wisdom.
Judging people on whether or not they have ink is really not fair. My pastor doesn't have ink. His son does. My mom doesn't have ink but her dad did (navy).
Like I said in my original comment to you, times are different now. Not all tattoos are created equal. So yeah a tweety bird on the back of your calf may not be the same as having your deceased father's signature or an anniversary date on your wrist. People do tattoos for lots of reasons (gang related, on a dare, memorial tattoos, or just because they like art). Lumping them all into the same "you must be trash/unwise" or whatever is just foolish.

Most of the guys and girls defending and dying for your freedom have ink, Don.
I won't give you my bio (but I coach little league and provide anesthesia for a living) and I bet you'd be surprised by how many people you come into contact with daily have tattoos (yes even some pastors.)
I get your point but I don't see the wisdom! I wish you the best.2 -

You, sir, are far too judgemental. Unless you have seen all those people you've mentioned without their clothes on, then you have no way of knowing if they have ink. If you think tattoos are a generational thing, or for that matter, an economic indication of one's station in life, you are sadly mistaken.1 -
I'm 50 and I love my tattoos, I find women with tattoos sexy and I even check out guys with tattoos. @DonM46, you're right I'm not a Doctor but I play one on TV.

I see where this man is coming from. I'm about 20 years shy of his 70, but when I was a "youngster" the only people who had ink were bikers, sailors, construction workers and criminals. It was sort of like a badge of "honor". Now-a-days, it's like who can get the most, or, "let me see how far I can rebel from my parents".
I don't look down on people with ink; hell, I fit all 4 of the criteria that I listed at one point in my life and have the ink to match it....but it is different.0 -

I think it's not even about rebelling these days. I think it's mostly a form of self expression.
I got my first tattoo at 19, half of my life ago. I've been wanting another ever since so I'm getting another soon. Hopefully next week if they can squeeze me in. At 38 I'm past my rebellion stage0 -
true. He is a great artist, very unique imaginationpichiPurinsesu wrote: »Dr1nkbleachndye wrote: »I don't have any tattoos.

I need help! I want a scarecrow but haven't found the perfect one yet. Some are too scary and some are too silly. Any artists here?0

Go to a tattoo ARTIST you like. They'll draw you up something. It's their job 0

I'm a PhD student, I teach at the university level, I speak three languages, and I have never even gotten so much as a parking ticket from law enforcement. I also have a tattoo and it's awesome. I can't wait to get more.
Your 'wisdom' is nothing but thinly-veiled classism, plain and simple.4 -
tattoos are expressive - more people have them now as they're not so frowned upon (well!) and a wide range of different people from different backgrounds have them also. I bet you'd be shocked at the amount of people in prestigious jobs have at least one piece of ink on them. At the end of the day they're there for the individual, not everyone else.
I don't see the problem in them; i love them personally but i like different modifications people would definitely frown upon. (ear pointing, tongue splitting etc...)0 -

And you're 26 years old. Your 'wisdom' is nothing more than what things are like right now. There was a time not so long ago that you crossed to the other side of the street when you saw a person with a tattoo coming.1 -

And, I'm 48 years old. Got my first one 27 years ago, got my third 4 years ago and will get at least two more in the next year. Oh, and for the old guy - I'm a college graduate with a good paying job. I'd like to know how he knows all the people he mentioned do or don't have ink. Maybe they, being professionals, cover it up. If I go to a client, they don't see mine. Maybe his banker has ink all over. Maybe it doesn't actually matter.2 -

Yeah, and I'm a 47yo who got his first piece when he was 18 and in the Navy, but that's not my point. My point is, his views are based on what he grew up experiencing. Being that you're pushing 50, like me, you must also know that tattoos were not always accepted like they are now. Hell, I remember about 15 years ago that a friend of a friend was surprised that I was a college graduate and in the IT field because of my tattoos.0 -

And lots of stubborn ideas about people. I guess you missed the Sunday School lessons about loving thy neighbor.
I raise people's children, been hired by 7 different families who trusted me with the lives and well being of their progeny and I have tattoos. And I do a darn tootin' great job at it, too.
Are you also judgemental about race? Seems like another "habit" for people of a certain age and goes right along with your lovely judgement of people without knowing a single thing about their life or who that person is inside

Sure, but you're talking about him only being 26 and as someone 22 years past that, my point is that I had my first tattoo before he was born (as did you). I got mine my senior year in college. My uncle has tattoos and he's older than the old man making the comments. His brother, my father, wasn't thrilled when I came home with my first one, but he got over it and he's turning 80 this year. I've got friends older and younger that have them. I don't think it's an age thing. I'm going to guess this guy has a lot of things he's not in favor of. Probably out front yelling at the kids to get off his lawn.1
