From the time of caveman to the time of the Geico cavemen, there have been tattoos. They mean many different things to many different cultures and to many different people within those cultures. Every demographic has them, from the most poor to Angelina Jolie.
...So why haven't I hopped on this train? No, that's not fair. Tattoos really are an art/way of life for some people. Not really cool to categorize them with the fans of the Yankees.
Still though, why is my skin clear? Since I was a freshman I've wanted a tattoo. And about every six months since then, I've changed my idea for my very first one. Originally starting with a spin-off of the "Welcome To Las Vegas" sign, and now into an apple. Never went through with it though. Not because of lack of money, or time. I certainly have no fear of needles. Well, maybe this is why...
To me, a tattoo should be a symbol of some type of test you've gone through in your life. To remind you of your tribulations, and to serve your conscious for the future. My grandpa has a tattoo from when he was in the Navy during WWII. He wears it with some sense of pride. A few weeks ago, I thought of what it would feel like to stand next to him with my new tattoo. Me with my shining idea I came up with while driving one day and decided to have some tweeker on Maryland parkway draw on me with inked steel. Him with his badge of honor that proves to the world where he stood and what he stood for.
Chuck Norris doesn't have those kinds of balls.
(Note: only a few of you read this and you all have tattoos haha. Don't think I'm putting you down or your reasons for getting a tattoo down. These are just my personal opinions.)

sir, you cant offend me. all my tattoos mean something to me.
my advice is to keep doing what your doing. if you keep changing your mind, your not ready yet. the last thing you want is to regret it.
Good to know haha. I dig your tats anyways, I always get to see them up on the wall of LA boxing lol
