It's not a <i>Yiddishkeit</i> thing to do, especially in light of the fact that we have relatives who were tattooed against their will.<br /><br />I can remember when only genuine tough guys had tattoos, and when the "barbed-wire" tattoo motif was for people who had been imprisoned one way or another (convicts or POWs). Now I see barbed-wire ink around the biceps of people (even women!) whom I doubt have ever spent a night in jail, and tats on guys who don't have the upper-body strength to open a mayonnaise jar.<br /><br />I guess they think it makes them <b>look</b> tough, in the same way that folks buy pre-distressed clothing and think it makes them <b>look</b> as if they actually do hard physical work. <br /><br /><i>Caballero Andante</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-2963233204695485612015-03-17T14:41:55.742-04:002015-03-17T14:41:55.742-04:00I only ever gave one girl a pass on a tattoo.

She'd had an op which left an ugly scar on her otherwise-flawless abdomen, and she'd got a small rose tattoo to conceal it. <br /><br />If you think I'm bad: The Mrs. won't allow a waiter with visible tattoos to serve her food, especially of the "full-sleeve" type.<br /><br />In Japan, there's a growing industry of tattoo removal, because employers are starting to disqualify tattooed applicants because, as said above, tattoos generally poor decision making and impulsive tendencies, as well as low self-esteem issues.Kim du Toitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-86824898981503400252015-03-17T11:07:50.833-04:002015-03-17T11:07:50.833-04:00Tell them your grandpa also had a lot of tattoos.Tell them your grandpa also had a lot of tattoos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15290406.post-85717658224086958282015-03-16T21:03:22.173-04:002015-03-16T21:03:22.173-04:00I agree with Kim.
