What's on your mug?

An imaged permanently inked on the body between layers of skin. Some tattoos are indeed stupid. Usually done by scratchers who will ink things onto teenagers who are too young to realize what they're doing, or people who really don't grasp the concept of a what a tattoo is and the reality of forever. A well thought out quality tattoo means something to their wearer and is done by a professional. They can be very beautiful and personal at the same time.

I have my sons footprint tattooed on my shoulder. Every time I see it I remember what a wonderful joy he brought to my life when he was alive.

another fashion trend among some people thinking they actually have something to say that's both important and permanent.

I have a serious need for coolness and heavily into that scene so I'm going to mark up my body to prove with yet another tattoo since I don't have any other way of communicating my individuality with those around me.

A mark made on a lark which shows not in the dark.

That tattoo is gonna haunt me for the rest of my life; then decorate my corpse after I'm gone.

1. A great way to look edgy without getting in those awfully scary fights at the Nickelback concert. 2. A suicidal, plane-spotting Mexican midget.

1. This barbwire tattoo around my bicep is so deeply personal that I'm like, the eighth guy on the drywall crew to get one. 2. We all know what Tattoo's fantasy was, and it sure as hell wasn't to stare at Ricardo Montalban's groin for the rest of his days.
