I'm not a fan of tattoos; didn't like them when I was in the Corps and don't like them now that I'm in corporate America but a comment like the one above makes me understand!
I got drunk and went to several tattoo shops during my 20 years in the Corps but turns out I was never drunk enough to sit in the chair

You BET! I'm Car Crazy!
Here is the tattoo I designed and had inked on my arm years ago. Every few years I have more hearts added for each 2 years I've owned it. I had the sunset added a couple of years ago as I felt I'm entering the twilight of my years with ol' LOVE!

I don't have a tattoo but if I were to get one it sure would NOT be on my back(You can't see it)the only people that can see it don't give a d##m about it.So you end up paying a lot of money for something you can't enjoy.Something nice on the bicept maybe.I'll have to give it some thought.

...........and i think, because it's posted on a open, public forum & subject to opinions, i'm allowed to voice mine, just like you do yours.
It was not intended to anger anyone, people with tats have thick skin & have heard it all already, does'nt make them a bad person.
It's your own personal choice & i just think they look trashy on women, especially that big !!!
Here on the Island, thats what they are called, tramp or not, they call all tats on the lower back a tramp stamp for whatever it's worth..........sorry i offended you .......... PEACE !!

Bruthish. . . You are in my home town.
I don't live there anymore, but; am only about an hour away. Small world.
Regarding the tats. . . I personally don't care for them. My son got one last year and I wasn't happy. To each there own, though.
But; on women, I think a tat on a woman is like painting a mustache on the mona lisa. Just shouldn't be done. Just my opinion though.

Glenn's wife has some really great looking art. I think a tattoo on a person that really wants it makes them feel better, which in return makes them more attractive to people that are receptive to that. People that have tattoos that they regret is like a club foot...something you always feel bad about...which reflects.
I say if you like tattoos, and want one, pick it, choose carefully, and never regret.

Tatoos are a form of self expression. That being said some people have more to say than others and some people are more eloquent than others. Art is and always has been subjective. IMHO the "Vette Girl" tattoo is very cool and looks great on that particular back. Not every canvas is ideal for all art either but to lump all tats together as trash is like placing the Mona Lisa in the same category as a velvet Elvis yard sale painting. I have many peices of original art in my home, my gf is an artist, and I have a tattoo. To each his own.

I'm considering one, but since I already have a tattoo - a special one- I won't do one for now. If I were to go for it, I'd do the crossed flags on the shoulder or arm and the early corvette stingray logo under them.
People who judge others for having a tattoo (a religion, being gay, piercing, going to raves, driving corvettes, different skin color, etc...) are shortsighted and narrow-minded. Too bad, the world is full of such people
Anyway, tattoos rock!

Hell, tattoo your whole face. Just don't apply for any white-collar jobs. I hired a guy who was clean-cut, then he, over a few months, proceeded to hang more metal from his face than a '60 Caddy. I said some customers might take offence, he said .."what are you going to do about it?"...guess the ending. I am somewhat conservative, one of my many faults, I guess.
