When I was 16 I rode a bike ( https://pic8.co/sh/mgoKkt.jpg ) to houston for a johhny winter concert. And on the way got not one but two tats. Now back then you pretty much picked something off the walls. Alot has happened since then ( and alot of bikes ) but thats another story. Tats have come along way. My arms are spotty with no real plan, But after everything evolved my legs and back are more coherently done with a plan.

My only regret is the art has evolved so much I just wish my arms were done the same way. Im in my 60's and regret nothing.

your tatts most likely look much better than the scratcher art i see on most these kids running around today. the complaint is that tattoos have fallen into utter degeneracy

I'm 40, most people with ink were military, gangs, or spent time in prison when i was a kid. Very few people randomly got ink like you did when i was young. There was people that did go get ink but they also spent a year talking to artists several hours away talking on the phone and mailing ideas and work back and forth. Then taking a week off to go to the artists shop and the work was ussually well done.

Wasn't until i was 18 that we finally got a shop 1.5 hours away, I've never gotten any ink granted i wanted to. I ended up coming across a white guy with all kinds of gang ink. He spent time in prison and talked about how he regretted a lot of what he got, he didnt tell any of us not to get inked but encouraged spending a year considering designs, even having it drawn on you in sharpie or other paints. you still want it after that then go for it.

I knew the guy for a number of year s and respected him, i took his advice. theres stuff i'd have gotten after a year but just never had the time or money was an issue.

The stuff i see today and people running around with it is all degenerate.

Its really how its put together. To say its all degenerate is judgemental. And as far as chicks with tats, some are bad and some not so much. It surprises me here how the fuck you all are so intolerant of things that dont really matter. Ink on skin is personal, its not for you.

It's trashy when it's highly visible and doesn't have some sort of personal significance to the person itself, akin to scribbling on yourself.

This just proves my point. A bunch of intolerant assholes here. Yall are so self important and opinionated, should I bow down? Fuck you.
