This. Even my middle aged mother got one in her 50s after divorcing my father. It’s not unique.

Face and genital tattoos are!!

Tattoos are what everyone gets to be different.

I can’t imagine how much that would hurt.

Are you a prison guard?

No. And don’t be so obnoxious.
I live a very middle class life. No one bats an eye when they interact with me.
Tattoos are very common now. I have a special one only my DW sees on a very special part of my body that she loves. That. Is the only unusual one I have.

It’s Fred Flintstone with a lawn mower cutting your pubes, isn’t it?

I think the body looks best if the entire skin surface is unmarked.
But this is just my very own, personal opinion on this topic so of course any response that I give will be biased.

My main beef w/tattoos is how bad they look later on when the person ages.
Ever see a sixty/seventy yr. old w/sagging skin + a tattoo??

Well you will in around 35 yrs.
And it will not be pretty!

As opposed to how good normal 70 year old skin looks? I hate to break it to you but at that point the tattoo is not the problem.

It's a whole lot worse if it's covered with blotchy tattoos.

I lived next to a very working class white neighborhood for a while (we can even stretch to using a certain derogatory term for white people) and you'd see the tattoos on the older people in their 60s and 70s and it is not a pretty sight. At all. There's a huge difference between a faded and blurry tattoo and liver spots.

All the tattooed hipsters are in for a surprise.

Let's be friends, PP.

I'm confused by getting a tattoo of Dr. Who. It's not a character like Iron Man or something with a distinctive look--there have been 13 of them, in fairly generic wardrobe. What is he planning to do exactly, put a big picture of David Tennant in a brown suit on his bicep?

And if he got a tattoo despite your objection dear wives, then what?

Make him sleep in the couch for a month?
No sex for the remainder of the year?
Divorce?

What are the repercussions if that grown man your married to disobeys you?

Agree that 99% of tattoos are trashy. No, I would not encourage my husband to get one. And/but, his body his choice. I would hope that if he wanted one (he wouldn't) he would at least wait until the kids are out of the house (2 more years) so that they didn't get any ideas about getting tattoos themselves. And I would hope that during those 2 years, the whole stupid idea would pass.

I know a 65 year old with 11 tattoos, each showing the date and finish time of one of the marathons he's finished. I can admire that kind of tattoo.

But 99% of tattoos are trashy.

It's his body and his choice.
It was considerate of him to ask, but it is his decision to make.

It’s “encourage”
And no
