Tattoos... advice from those so adorned

This thread reads like a lot of old hens pecking.

It's a long winter.

I'll offer a different take on the divorce topic. If she's going to divorce you over a tattoo, it was already coming.
I got my first one while my wife was out of town and I didn't tell her in advance.

Parrot on the shoulder? Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me. LOL

Keep expecting velvet jackets and lace collars & sleeves to make a comeback. I'm old enough to remember the pirates who sailed on a Yellow Submarine.

I reckon we should give you Australian citizenship. And yeah, that’s meant as a compliment.

My only concern with your advice is “scotch “ . I recommend rum.

Cheers mate.

Like RedLeg I don’t understand getting them late in life but I have never seen the attraction myself.

Not an option. Don't drink and never have. I do appreciate hearing from both sides though, so thank you good sir.

Not drinking is commendable but enjoying a beer or something you enjoy in moderation is also fine as I enjoy a drink and it’s often socially or celebratory and often because I just feel like one.

Well I won’t be the first on here that has never seen the need and has lived through the era where females got them on their lower back 30 years ago to some having fine line work and now they seem to be a popular trend here with young people.

I have seen some quality work and awful attempts.

Both kids have them and my daughter has random images that make no sense or show strategic placement but no point fighting it and she is still the Princess. I just wish she would at least put some thought into the matter as they are permanent.

Can’t say much more on the matter as I know people who have them to remember a lost child they have lost it’s not uncommon.

I couldn’t do a Man Bun either but at least they are easily reversed.

"I couldn't do a Man Bun either". I'll bet you could if/when you buy a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle? LOL

I have plans to get a .260rem , I’m not a fan of the Creedmoor hype and snapped at too many people who say it outperforms everything else.
Everything has a place in its place.

As a very young sailor, I went into a tattoo shop in New York in 1981.. When I saw the people running it and the clientele I turned on my heel..

Later I became a military officer..officers dont have tattoos.. So it was a right decision.

My woman had two cute dolphins tattooed on the side...now they look more whale-like.. Oh well..
