Tattoo

I saw one today, up close enough that I could read it if I had wanted to. I didn't, of course. In a checkout line. Query....Do y'all READ tattoos, do you do it sort of covertly, like maybe when they are distracted? Is it considered an invasion of privacy, or is it welcomed by the tattooee? And why would you read one? Do you put it in the same category as a bumper sticker?

I think it's considered appropriate to read tattoos. They are there to be seen.

Dear Joe - Thank You for your improved composition skill in these forums. I know I've been hard on you about that in the past, but this is a marked improvement. Still room left for progress, but at least I can understand you now.

Well, done. 🙂

P.S. I think tattoos are a silly waste of money, but then I'm an older guy. When I was young the only people who had them were enlisted sailors and low-class call girls.

Tattoos are stupid. I'm covered with them and hopefully one day they make a pill that gets rid of them. Although I'm old so why bother. Tattoos are stupid!

Slumming at the supermarket?

Did your maid have the day off?

Oh God I saw another tattoo live at a gas station today, that is my last visit to a gas station. I must be the last of a breed. I started to look up tattoos on internet but fear getting on a list of some sort. Living in a bubble is better!

Don’t have a regular made at that abode. And not supermarket,, was at the MET. Not much body art there, though, she sort of stood out, but I guess that is the point. When I stand out somewhere, I hope it is not about some (permanent) picture on my arm, but rather my congenial personality.

What’s your problem with tattoos?

To be quite frank, you write like someone with a swastika printed on your forehead… I always presumed you were covered in ink.
