• 227. SOme of you people just don't get it do you?? The nursing homes are already filled w/ ancient tattoos. You seem to forget that our brave men and women (men more so then) who fought in past wars (WWI-II) came home w/ their bodies covered in art, and began the western tatto revolution. And for those of you who feel that all of us w/ tat's are stupid and uneducated, well, I happen to be a Paramedic w/ tattos and I work in a 911 service full of other Paramedics w/ tat's. Remember when you wreck your vehicle or have a heart attack that we're all uneducated. My wife teaches history at a Christian school, w/ her tattoo, she manages not to corrupt all of the young minds she's exposed to. And one last thing, for the "Your body is a temple, not to be desecrated" crowd, hove you ever been to a church/synogogue/temple/mosque that was not both ornately and reverently decorated and cared for?? So is mine...have a nice day...

• 231. I love how people still judge this !@#$? If you don't like tattoos on people, then don't look. Tattoos are not against any Christian religion that I've ever heard of, so the idiot who can't spell needs to think before typing. If you think they are ugly, good, don't get one. If you worry that they will look ugly when these people are older, we've already established that you are not getting one, so no worries. Tattoos are a personal choice, as are piercings. Stop trying to control the fricking people in this country, and why don't you worry about something more important? As for me and my seven beautiful and significant to me tattoos, we say ink on, brothers! (and sisters)

• 232. Another note, first, Brian Sparks learn how to write before you post a comment, I can not understand anything you wrote. Secondly who the eff cares what everyone's tattoo is going to look like when they are old, are you the one growing old with the tattoo??? No! So be quiet and get a hobby; instead of worrying about what other people do in their lives. Is your life that boring that you need to focus on what's going to happen to someone when they're old? You are entitled to not like that tattoo, but there's no need for you to worry about what people are going to look like when they get old; furthermore there's no need to rant about it. Get over it! When we get our tattoos we get them knowing that one day, oh yes one day we will grow old, I'm pretty sure that when people get tatts they don't forget that one day they will age. No one's asking for your attention, we are expressing a form of art, you may not view it as art, but we do, so leave us be. Thanks!

• 234. Whoever made the comments about tattoos sounds like they are about 70+. Tattoos no longer have a bad wrap, EVERYONE has one and if they don't, they've thought about getting one, that is unless your thoughts are outdated. There once was a time when tattoos were a sign of royalty. Yea, some art is poorly delivered but unless it's someone's name from a past bad relationship, tats all have a meaning to the owner. Life is short, stop complaining!

• 235. I have 7 tattoos, and there is nothing wrong with them. Yes some of these tattoos shown are pointless, but that's a personal preference. I consider my body a canvas and a way to express who I am. If people don't like them, or don't agree with them that's their opinion that they're entitled to, but don't pass judgement on someone simply because you don't like tatts. Respect the artwork and the decision to express artwork in a tattoo form.

• 238. Anyone who feels they need to tattoo their body just to get attention needs attention for sure...the psychiatric kind. Can you imagine these people when they're really old and flabby? Surprisingly they didn't show us anyone's "tramp stamp." Guys always say they can tell who's easy by seeing that.

• 239. "Dumb tattoos" seems redundant. Some day that finely detailed "art" will all look like topographical maps of the island of Sicily. Imagine how sad would it be for grandma to be in the retirement home now with a tattoo that says "Glenn Miller Rules"? Youth never recognizes that some day it will age....only now there will be an entire generation with eternal reminders they can take all the way to the grave that they were once so young, dumb and arrogant.

• 240. Why should it matter what you people think, I have a few tattoos and I love them each one has a meaning to me and that is all that matters. Whether you think I mutilated my body or decided to decorate it more, it's my body.
