Patriot Retort: Fox had a story yesterday about a non-profit company that will preserve your tattoos upon your demise so that you can bequeath them to a loved one.
The National Association for the Preservation of Skin Art (or NAPSA) will offer this service to its paying members. The service includes removal, the process to preserve and display them, and a certificate (of authenticity perhaps?).
Anybody else feeling a little ooky?
According to the release, removing a tattoo from one of its member’s deceased bodies involves “a chemical and enzymatic process that permanently alters the chemical structure, thus permanently fixing it against decomposition (while preserving the integrity of the art).” The group said the final product isn’t classified as tissue and isn’t toxic.
Yeah. Because if the process were toxic, this might be gross.

I hate ‘tats’….women with tats make me want to puke.
A friends wife has saved all of her nail clippings for her nieces and nephews….?????….30 years worth…?????…
It will never happen, a woman I know promised me if she were to die before I she would will me her parrot tattoo from her thigh.
I haven’t seen her in 25 years, bet that Polly doesn’t need another cracker by now.
She is 6′ tall and the parrot went from her hip to her knee. First woman I ever knew (biblically) with piercings in her hoo ha.
I was hoping to make a lamp shade.
Damn you Godwin, quit biting me.
This is for Brad

Gee Sally, you put us in a difficult situation, just what is it you’re trying to say?
Besides being off the rails and unnecessarily rude, that is?
Is that your Mustang somebody is stealing?
Wow, yeah gross! How about shoes, wallet, belt, and purse from the leftovers?
I was wondering if Brad had ever heard of this, or for that matter
Has anyone heard of this.
The only thing I had ever heard about weight lifting to the extreme was
Most people who lift (to the extreme) don’t have a college degree.
I understand Bruce Jenner spent a lot of time in gyms and was a college men.
I’m not even crazy about the idea of tattoos on men……unless you were in the Navy and have a big heart that says MOM on it.
Am I missing something? Or have we just gotten wildly off-topic here?
The ‘camp’ at Buchenwald is gone, no more lampshades.
BJ did not lift weights to the extreme. He did not want to ruin his girlish figure.
Never understood the desire to have little cartoons infused into my skin, but that is just me.
Every time the kid ask me if he can get one, I tell him “tattoo’s are not like getting married, tattoo’s are permanent.” He mumbles, under his breath, what a dumbass I am.
I have never been drunk enough or stupid enough or a rebel to get a tattoo and prefer to keep it that way. I just laugh at my son with a Superman logo tattooed on his chest and I’m beginning to think he may regret it.
“Good morning, yesterday
You wake up and time has slipped away
And suddenly it’s hard to find
The butterfly on your behind
Remember, do you remember…”
Please. Just take some snapshots.. This country is being overrun with ghouls.
I may be showing my age here, but when I was growing up, pretty much the only people I ever heard of having tattoos were sailors and prostitutes. It’s still hard for me to get past idea that today, which causes me to have judgmental issues when I see women with tramp stamps and the like. I’m trying to re-educate myself, though, so maybe there’s hope for me yet.

Tattoos are for people who don’t know what a museum is.
I agree with Thirdtwin. Take a picture of it soon after you get the tattoo…before you get FAT!
That’s exactly right.
Now I understand why I loathe them so much.
Thanks for the insight!
Actually Sally us weight lifters are so stupid we chip in and hire an 8th grader to help us figure out how much weight we have on the bar.
“Tan me hide when I’m dead, Fred. Tan me hide when I’m dead.”
Wouldn’t it be easier to just hire an artist to copy the design onto paper or canvas? Not gross.
Maybe Sally’s the one with the parrot tattoo.
; D
Actually, all tattoos are temporary.
Everyone dies, sooner or later.
