Just delicious? It better be bad ### before I adorn my flesh with it.

True...
And actually I should mention that the first word is "Earth".... which, I suppose, should be capitalized...?
maybe I should change it to something about pizza.... I do love pizza.![[icon]](/data/avatars/m/5/5167.jpg?1660313464){kind=avatar}

Or perhaps people just like to troll other people because it's a slow day at the office...

You're all man because of that Raider ink, BK. We never would have picked you out as the brave, ball having type without it.

eta* Raider ink is making me laugh so hard right now. But GB and you're a gb, BKN, at least in my book. It don't matter.

In a move that is certain to cause every shark to turn their beady little eyes skyward, I got inked (as we cool people like to say) for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The scabs are just about gone now. It really wasn't something that was part of my life's plan but a good friend of ours is a tattooist and was closing her shop in SF and moving to LA. I figured I'd rather have somebody I know do the work. Also, my son got tattooed a few months ago so I didn't have to be a role model anymore.
I told Mrs Eephus about it the week before but it turned out she didn't believe me until our friend texted her the day of the appointment to ask if she was going to watch. I've been known to BS a bit but I thought I'd have more credibility with my wife of nearly 30 years. Perhaps she took me joking with our daughter than I was getting a butterfly tramp stamp as a indication that I was lying about the whole thing.
My tattoos are a pair of pinball flippers from an early 60's Gottlieb table, one on each of my calves. I've always loved pinball and the band Flipper so I'll take these things to my grave now.

A real man would have gotten Williams or Bally flippers

Actually love the flippers idea. Pinball's been a mainstay in my life. I still play a ton via the Farsight Studio Pinball Arcade Ap. One of the suburban downtown areas nearby has a pinball museum / arcade that I'll frequent. Also, when in Chicago, I'll pop into a place in Logan Square that has a great selection of machines.

I think you totally have the wrong thread, or at least you're a brilliant merger, DW.

tattoos are very permanent, I don't get the fascination.

Agreed. I've thought about it and never pulled the trigger, but if I do one day it will be something intimate and lowkey, in a non-visible part of my body. Something like this would be perfect.

Not sure this looks too wise in light of Moobs's new thread. But I understand, LD, what you were saying.

Tats are cliche..theyre the 'me too' of the new millenium like the camaro was in the 80s..' oh you have a camaro??.me TOO!!'
to each their own but yes tats are played out.SOOOO damn played out.like worse than men wearing bluetooth ear things at the mall or store, but never having a conversation on one.or more played out than women wearing sunglasses on tops of their heads.

Middle-aged man rant of the day... What's the deal with purposely bad tattoos? I'm seeing them more often and some people are now claiming they are the new trend.
I just had a lady walk into my office who has tattoos of stick figures doing random activities all over her. It looks terrible.
I've never been a tattoo guy, but I could understand getting a cool tattoo. I can not wrap my head around getting a bad/dumb one on purpose.

Apparently they are called "ignorant tattoos" and Pete Davidson is big into the movement.

Finally I have an idea for a tattoo! https://cakeyhankerson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/shark.jpg?w=584

My cousin works part-time as a piercer at a local tattoo shop. She said there's one guy that comes in a few times per year because he wants a tattoo just to get another one, and doesn't care at all what it is. He'll tell one of the workers "I've got $75, look through one of the books and pick me out something cool/something red/something with a shark/something funny" and just get it put on, sometimes he'll even tell them to pick it and then give it to the tattoo artist without him even seeing what they picked. Dude is just addicted to getting tattoos I guess.

Next you're going to tell me it also applies to
Miley Cyrus
and Machine Gun Kelly (his coverup could be the worst thing I've ever seen)

He looks like the paper bag book covers we used to decorate in high school, minus the Motley Crue, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest logos.

Some people are. I work with a guy who is tattooed from neck to toes. He only left his hands and neck up untouched because he wants to be able to cover everything if he needs to. He admitted he has spent close to 35K on all this work, but has lost track of the real number.

Yeah lots of people have weird hobbies, collect odd stuff that they are borderline addicted to. One wing of my family has this where every couple years they get crazy obsessed with collecting something (guns, old cameras, birds) and then sell it all off and move to something else. I don’t think they are all mentally ill though, just odd.

That's not my understanding of what jump the shark means. I think Max's link above shows that we've deviated from the original intent of tattoos into something else. But I'm not sure what everyone means by that phrase.

I've always taken it to mean something that was once good/cool/ whatever but isn't anymore. (Originally derived from the fonz water ski jumping over a shark in a latter episode of Happy Days)
I've always thought that at least 80% of tats look terrible. Probably an even worse % for women. And that's when they're young and otherwise attractive. (Even weirder when you see a 70 year old woman with a giant blob of saggy color on her arms)
I get that many people get them for personal reasons beyond what they look like, but visually most are still awful.

A tattoo of Tattoo has been a long time obsession of mine.

I'm not sure I'd go with 80% looking terrible. I don't have a desire to get one but cool with them. But I replied more about the 2nd half - that's definitely a small part of why I doubt I'll ever get one. Just look at the body of the average 60, 70, 80-year-old. That tattoo you have isn't going to look that great then. Maybe folks don't care and that's cool - people should do what makes them happy.

I'm sure you're well versed in all aspects of this to make such a judgment.

Whatever makes folks happy.
As far as tattoos looking bad at 70, compared to what? A non-tattood 70 year old arm?

There is some interesting ink in this article. The 103 year old Filipino woman’s tattoos look pretty amazing imo.

Ooo, I designed a tattoo based of that image. It said “Da Shame, Da Shame”.
Was supposed to go on a woman who lost a bet to me, the adult daughter of one of my friends. He begged me not to make her go through with it, so another friend made a sticker of the design instead.
