The problem with tattoos is that, like red dawn said, 99% of the people who have them are posers who are doing it because it happens to be the trend of the minute. Kinda like smoking. There's going to be a lot of money to be paid in the plastic surgery business in about 5 years when all of a sudden tattoos are suddenly gross and a symbol of low-class.

Put another way, if you want to lose the geek image, you can throw away the ipod. But if you want to lose the "i'm a dumbass" image in a few years, it's probably gonna cost a lot more than what it cost to get it in the first place.

LoL, if your worried about image, then your making your life choices for the wrong reasons. I care what 1 person thinks I look like.
 
tallbill, how many people do you think get tattoos because of some non-image reason? Letsee-- Yakuza, Military members, tat connoisseur, umm...yeah that's about all i can think of. People today get tattoos for the same reason they start smoking, whether it was in the 60s or today. It's to "look cool".
