Tattoos are fine with me so long as they actually mean something to the wearer, not simply "this looks cool so I'm going to get it!"

The only tattoo I have is the Kanji sybol for "fate" on my left shoulder and it means something to me.

I've also considered getting a tattoo on my back of an angel holding a sword while cradling, protecting two children (my kids) within its wings. Again, this would have meaning for me because I care immensely about my kids.

Totally trashy!

The tramp stamp, tribals, arm bands, ankle type bracelets, dragons, crosses, tigers, snakes, fairies, butterfly all fall into the trashy category.

Only ones I genuinely think are cool are portraits.

Don't you have to pay whores?

That pic is obviously fake. Even prison-style inking with piano wire would make the letters more sharp.

I've got my whole back, and I don't think it's trashy. You'll never know I had any unless I'm at the beach or without a shirt on. Its marked off so even in a tank top or wifebeater you can't see them. :)

Tattoo's aren't trashy. People who have no respect for the art form and think they're trashy, aren't open-minded enough to appreciate it.

Although in those rare cases where the person bearing the tattoo goes "oh I saw it on a wall, it looked fvcking cool". You may call him/her a dumbass all you want. That and white people with kanji that can't read it on them or white people with polynesian tribal on them because it's cool. :)

I'm sure CPA could find a way to write it off of his taxes ;)

I want one too. My dad passed away recently. I was going to get his name tatooed on my arm. Do you think that is cheesy?

No... I looked up the character myself before going to the tattoo parlor.
