blackhawkrush Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I don't have a problem with a single tattoo like an Indian Head but this making a totem pole out of your arm is for the birds. What say you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, but sometimes those "sleeves" are too much and everything kind of runs together. If you have just a couple here and there it's no big deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this overdoing it looks as if a coalminer forgot to wash himself after a shift. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy85 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Well, I'm 57 and I don't regret mine. I do like the artistic value of some of them. I do agree some of them look like a blurry mess. Those won't age well. I feel slightly less self conscious of my skinny arms with my bicep(?) tats. It's interesting to see that lots of younger people have lots of ink. Office workers, not just blue collar. Noticing more neck tattos lately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I love them, and I can't wait to have full sleeves someday. I'm working on a Rush sleeve on my left arm, but tattoos are expensive, and I don't live anywhere near my go-to artist. So far, I have Counterparts and Presto on my forearm. I have the two-headed dog from the Melvins album Houdini on my left bicep, I'd like to get more Melvins album covers and maybe even some more Frank Kozik artwork as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your skin safe from the sun and your tats should age as gracefully as your skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 When I was at the hospital visiting my mother, I stood near my 58-year old sister and the 20-something nurse, who were showing each other and our mother their arm and leg tattoos. The moment they stopped, I looked at the nurse and said, "I got nuthin'. I'm way too much of a dork to have tattoos." Hilarity ensued.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can relate, my niece and her boyfriend showed us their new tattoos and I couldn't think of anything to say. I remember when it was only sailors and other sub groups that had tattoos. It wasn't viewed as a positive thing at that time to have them so I guess I am just an old fuddy duddy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come a long way in how I see tattoos. I used to think they were really dumb and even low-class, but I've mellowed quite a bit. Some of the artwork that I've seen is really good. I don't give anyone any grief about tattoos. Face piercings, on the other hand..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on the young a single tattoo can look nice, but this full skin art looks terrible, imo. And it's cliche, which is even worse. How about the adoption of facial gang tats as a fad? Wtf? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Just found out that the guy I root for in snooker, Mark Allen, has a half-sleeve. I may have to reconsider my position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing about O'Sullivan he has all the records, 85 titles (41 ranking, 38 non-ranking, 6 minor-ranking with 7 world titles, 8 Masters, 8 UK), he has the most century breaks in tournaments 1,244, most 147s in tournaments 15. And he has the fast, exciting style and best nickname The Rocket Nugget! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
