Another thing to remember is this tattoo thing is a fad, it will fade away over time like beatle haircuts, leisure suits, line dancing, beanie babies and Tickle Me Elmo dolls. This is the first major fad I have seen in my 70 years that you can't undo with a haircut, a change of clothes or taking up a different interest or hobby.

Most tattoos are horrendously poorly executed, the owners don't know this because they don't have any artistic ability. A rembrandt and the scribbling of a 6 year old look the same to them. I have artistic ability and can see what an abomination many of these tattoos are as far as art goes.

My advice as a crotchety old guy who has never been in lock step with the monkey see, monkey do kind of folk; I understand they are coming out with ink that will fade completely away in 5 years or so, wait for this ink, get your tattoo, keep it for 5 years and if you really like it alot after 5 years get permanently inked.

And no, I don't have any tats, every memory I cherish is firmly locked in my brain to be recalled anytime I want to reflect, I don't need any ink to remind me.

I was in the Navy for 4 years, Coast Guard reserves for 6 and the Merchant Marine for 12. An historically "tattoo rich" environment... ;)
Having seen what tattoos look like after 40 years on folks, it may start as "Body Art", but the canvass will need re-stretching as it gets older.   ::)

The trick is, get so many tattoos that it just becomes one big one.

Agree wholeheartedly! Guys with tats whatever, gals with tats......I just plain hate the look regardless of their natural beauty~!
