  1. Ten thousand years from now, I wonder what anthropologists will make of the sudden interest in tattoos that occurred at the beginning of the 21st century. Whatever they decide to call it, I’ll bet they’d never guess it was just good ole fashioned hipster douchebaggery.

  2. 10 years ago when I was still riding dirt bikes I walked into a downtown Motocross shop and ran into one of the most beautiful facial perfect woman I’ve ever seen. Half my age. She had a sleeve all the way up her left arm. Immediate turn off. From the top to the bottom in a heart beat. Hey, what can I say I’m old school.

  3. @ Brad, my high school girlfriend got a tat some years back and I saw a picture of it. This was a girl whose very existence I worshipped, and actually thought I would marry. I saw that tat and lost all interest. And it was just some innocuous thing like a dolphin or something on her ankle. Girls with tats just…ugh. Not for me.

  4. Are people THAT stuck in their culturally deranged mindset, that they ignore the currently available laser treatments to remove tats?
    Getting covered in even MORE ink, versus having clean skin?

  5. I read the article, and there is a picture of the “artist” with his eyeballs blacked out. How can he do that and still see? Color me confused. And I think it is hideous.
