okay grandma

i can tell i'm getting old because every time i see a picture of a new tattoo on facebook and it's in some real obvious place like your arm or something, i can't help but thinking "good luck getting a job with THAT thing." my dad seems to have seeped into my conscience and makes an appearance whenever there's body art invovled. get out of there kevin weigel!

**i actually really like tattoos and piercings for the most part. as long as they're well done and seem to be of some importance to the person, i can appreciate it. i will never be able to appreciate any tattoos involving music notes, hearts, or peace signs. and for the love of god, unless you have some highly marketable skill or are a super genius, put it some place it can be hidden. it's not that hard. and i know people shouldn't judge you blah blah blah but you can climb down off your soapbox because they will. no use arguing. be smart about your self expression there partner.

  1. I HATE it when it comes out in conversation that someone has a tattoo, because the conversation always goes like this:
    Me: Oh, you have a tattoo? What of?
    Person: Oh, it's (something idiotic) on (some stupid part of their body).
    Me: ... Oh... nice....

    I think 99.9% of all tattoos gotten by people under the age of 35 are stupid. Like... OK, you're 19 years old, NOTHING IN YOUR LIFE IS MEANINGFUL YET. Wait a few years, then decide what you want to have permanently depicted on your body for the rest of your life. I can guarantee you that it will not be dolphins in 15 years.
