What do you all think of tattoos. My son asked me yesterday what I would do if he got one. I said "I really don't know, but you should think long and hard about it. When you an old grandpa, will you still want it? The novelty wears out. I know it did with my tattoo. Especially now that I am a professional. I have to wear long sleeved shirts in the workplace."

What are your thoughts?
After wanting one for a good decade, I got one for my 40th birthday and don't regret it one bit.
Mine is on my bicep to shoulder so it can't be seen even with a short sleeve.

Quote:
My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn’t understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or will become.
~ Anne Rice concerning her decision to leave Christianity
So far, economics has prevented me from getting one. I would only want it if it was really good art... and the tattoo artists who can do that kind of work are expensive and in high demand.

After that looong thread we had discussing tattoos, I found myself in the car with my four older kids and suddenly asked, "Okay! How many of you guys are wanting to get a tattoo?" surprised silence followed by laughter and a "not me" or two. and a "What? Why?" so answered, "Just wondering if anybody wanted one and why."
Then we had a lively discussion, and someone pointed that we never were a family that followed trends or fads of fashion. We like what we like and don't mind being different. If everyone has tattoos and we don't, that doesn't motivate me to want one.
One thing though. With so many veterans in the family, we've traditionally associated tattoos with military service. So we know what they look like when they're old.
But the current trend of civilian tattoos doesn't represent "service" to the country. Tattoos today have a different meaning.

There's a whole bunch of naval tattooing traditions.

Of course it will be the KJV...

Psalms 40:1-3
(1) I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
(2) He brought me up also out of an horrible pit,
out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
(3) And he hath put a new song in my mouth,
even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
