Is it just me, or are there eleventy billion more tattoos out there than there used to be?? Maybe its just here in Austin.

Wow. I'm like the odd man out.

Those things are permanent you know.
 
While I don't mind others having them, that's something I'd never do.

Unless the Horns win a national championship in basketball. I'd get a Longhorn tattoo.

I think I'm safe.
 
No, it's not just you, tattoos have reached epidemic porportions among the young folks. It's amazing how many young women have extensive tattooing.

I was apart of the Hair generation. When that was over, all we had to do was get a haircut and a shave. I feel sorry for these folks.
 
There used to be a Longhorn or Bevo caricature that often appeared on T-shirts and sweatshirts sold by the Co-op, for example. Bevo had the ball closely tucked in one arm, and the other arm was in a stiff-arm position. I remember this Beeve had GIANT nostrils. If I was ever to get a tat, that would be the one. Anyone have a link to this Bevo caricature?
 
I don't understand tattoos. They're a permanent commitment to a current interest, and they get uglier with age. If you really like a design, then have it embroidered on a shirt, and wear that sucker every dang day until it rots off if you want. But, when you get tired of the design, you take the shirt off. Not so with a tattoo (absent great pain and expense).

The human body is the Maker's most perfect creation. It cannot be improved by a tattoo.

Man, I sound old and crotchity...
 
what gets me is those who think that getting a tattoo is this big rebellious act. How rebellious is it, when everyone has one?

Someone between the ages of 18 and 25 not having a single tattoo is the rebellious act.
 
I suppose it's only permanent in relation to one's life expectancy and subsequent rate of decay.

At any rate, the term "permanent" is beyond the comprehension of many young people.
 
Hey, having no tattoos, I have become a rebel! Alright, about time I was at the forefront of pop culture. But stay off'n my yard.
 
A beautiful girl with a well placed and crafted tattoo can look quite attractive. I'm not concerned how she will look at 60 if she's not.

Put me down as strongly in favor of little tattoos in strategic places.
 
I know a really cute upper middle class girl with a tatoo on her neck.

Cracks me up everytime people describe her as "That really cute chick with the tat on her neck"
 
My older brother got one in '82. It was still pretty novel at that time, relegard to bikers, sailors, some musicians perhaps and a few others I guess. My parents nearly stroked out.

I got drunk and got a Longhorn tat in '89 I think. Strategically placed. no one sees it unless I want them to.

I agree, not sure how/why it got so cool to get a tatoo. Seems most people 35 and under have one. Don't really get the extensive tatoos.

Older chick I dated in '91 was the first girl I knew with a tatoo on the small of her back. I dug it for many (obvious) reason.
 
Alot of tats are interesting. I like.

I do not have a tat.

What I find alarming is the new wave of trendy jean shorts amongst the hipster crowd. Super casual, t and jorts.

I was talking with a friend last night who had recently went to Brooklyn. He said the hipster capitol was filled with people sporting jean cutoffs. It was clearly not so much an issue of comfort as it was an issue of fashion. I laughed incredulously. We later went to the Liberty and I'll be damned if there weren't about 25-35 people wearing jean shorts.

fleecchh.

Anyway, tats are cool if you are imaginative.
 
Cute girls with good tattoos are cute. However, they would be even cuter without the tattoo. So, it adds nothing, and actually subtracts. Also, formerly cute girls with stupid, overdone tattoos have wasted their precious gift for the rest of their lives. Basically, it's beauty suicide. As for guys, well, I don't care as much.

So yeah, get off my lawn, and if you want to show something, show skin!
 
Black people should get white ink to make it stand out more. Sometimes its kind of hard to see them, even if they are covering their arms and stuff.
 
Some are cool, others suck. I dont have one but have thought about getting one, I usually say f it and buy beer instead.
 
I am old school. I don't have any nor do I like tattoos of any kind on Women folk. Some will disagree, but I think tattoos degrade a Woman. On Men, I don't really care either way. This is a generational thing that will pass IMHO.
 
White trash crack whores and gang banger wanna be, thats what comes to mind when I see someone "tatted up".

I have heard that if you decide you want a tat, wait a year. Then if you still want it, get it. I don't have any, but have wanted one for a long time. I know exactly what I want and it is definitly UT themed. Just gotta do it.

As far as the girls.....small, feminine and discreet is ok. Dated a girl years ago who had a small yellow rose just below her bikini line. Sexy as all get out. My daughter has a small lizard on the instep of her foot, which is also ok in my book. But anything more than that.....not my cup of tea.
