  1. I’ve seen some Goth Behemoths at WalMart all tatted up.

    Like some other things, I ax myseff “What made (her, him, ze?) think that was a good idea?
    But then I recall (through a misty veil) some of my own imbecilities and just smile. People commonly think I’m a retard – smiling so much.

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. Hey, at least they were 18 for a whole year. Pelosi’s “Forever Impeachment” tattoo didn’t even make it to the Democrat convention. And I shudder to think about Michael’s “Forever First Lady” tat.

  3. …I’m gonna let Heywood Banks take this one…

    “When Ethel was just 19 and her parents were in her face

    She got herself a tattoo in a very private place

    And only by her own true love was it to be seen

    Or her family physician, or a drunk crowd that offered beads

    It was a tiny tattoo with a little tiny dove

    With a tiny word, and that word it was love

    Well 30 years have passed now, thirty years that have been rough

    Four marriages, three children, forty diets and lots of sun

    And the teeny tiny tattoo with the teeny tiny dove

    Is now a pterodactyl and the word, it is
    lllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove …….”
    -Heywood Banks, “Teenie Tiny Tattoo”

  4. …just remember the truth of this riddle…

    “This thing all things devours:
    Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
    Gnaws iron, bites steel;
    Grinds hard stones to meal;
    Slays king, ruins town,
    And beats high mountain down.”
    -JRR Tolkien, “The Hobbit”

  5. Back in the late 90’s I knew a Marine that toured the Pacific the hard way… In the early 40’s… Got all tatt’ed up with full sleeves. He never thought he’d make it home, let alone live into the 21st century. He was one of the kindest gentlest souls I’ve ever met. His arms looked like two day old pizza.

  6. The Depends are a nice touch. Will they have thong Depends some day?
    Old joke.
    What does an old woman have between her breast that a young girl doesn’t?

    A belly button.
    Learn to laugh at life, your not getting out alive.

  7. …the generation I saw in the nursing homes wasn’t big on tats, but the old ladies could still claw each other’s eyes out over one of the few available men, then break bones during the victory sex later, which is why my ambulance was there…

    …all things being equal, I think I’d prefer the tattoos.

  8. Another favorite.

    Why Worry
    There are only two things to worry about,
    if you are sick or if you are well.
    If you are well then there is nothing to worry about
    and if you are sick
    there are only two things to worry about.

    Either you are going to get better or your not.
    If you are going to get better
    then there is nothing to worry about
    and if your not
    there is only two things to worry about.

    Either your going to live or you are going to die.
    If you are going to live
    then there is nothing to worry about
    and if you are going to die
    there is only two things to worry about.

    Either you are going to Heaven or to Hell.
    If you are going to Heaven
    then there is nothing to worry about
    and if you go to Hell
    you will be so busy shaking hands with your old friends
    you won’t have time to worry anyway.

    So Why Worry

  9. Willysgoatgruff, thanks for the video of Groucho Marx singing Lidia the tattooed lady, it made me laugh. We need more humor again like the Marx brothers these days. When I was in the Navy I was never drunk enough or stupid enough or tempted to get a tattoo. I’ve always thought that tattoos were disgusting and vulgar and people who are tattooed all over just remind me of freaks especially face and head tattoos. My son has the Superman logo tattooed on his chest, he probably thought he was Superman once when he was a kid but at 38 now it just looks ridiculous. I can hardly wait for my granddaughters to laugh at him as they get older and see it.

  10. I don’t mind guy’s with maybe one or two, but I could never understand women tattooing themselves. I figure one of the best decisions I ever made in my life, was not to ink myself. 😺

  11. When I was young there were only two types of people who had tattoos – sailors and whores. Even today, when I see someone with a tattoo my mind subconsciously sorts them into one of those two categories. I’m trying to break myself of the habit, but it’s hard.

  12. You wanna ink up, have at it. As for me, I have one tattoo, and it’s inside my colon, forever marking where a troublesome flat polyp once lived.
    IMO, ink on a beautiful woman equals instant turnoff.

  13. flip, I don’t even like makeup on women, let alone some sorry excuse for artwork acquired during a period of temporary, emotional insanity.

    (I think I need lunch. This old body is trying to communicate…)

  14. Yuths never think ahead and request a tat that will look better as it wrinkles.

    If they don’t get kilt at the riots, and make it to advanced age. They can become fans of Ray Bradbury’s, The Illustrated Man, and insist they are not tattoos, they are illustrations. Wrinkled leathery illustrations.

  15. “she was no marine back from the Philippines
    she was their pride and joy, their incarnation
    her parents viewed the chief with shock and disbelief
    looking for some other explanation
    the indian on her back was poised for an attack

    she said a tattoo is a badge of validation
    but the truth of the matter is far more revealing
    it’s a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
    permanent reminder
    of a temporary feeling

    amnesiac episodes that never go away
    it’s no complex memento, it’s not a subtle revealing
    just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling”

    ~ Jimmy Buffett

  16. There was a time I was proud to wear a helmet with The Bell System Bell on it, and shoulder patches of the Bell on my overalls…

    I have to say I never thought to have the Bell inked on me. And that’s as close as I would get to a tattoo — I never even considered it.
