warning - graphic pics LOL
I'm 73 now and I still love my tats. They are not very noticeable, easily covered, ON PURPOSE! I got one in the late 70's and one in the early 2 mil.
Funny story, my first tat was at a big convention in Mtl. at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Hotel. Walked in and in the lobby were quite a few leather vests with shaved and oiled, arms, chests and heads to show off their tats.... and also quite a few silver-haired mink stoles looking rather wild and wide eyed at them.
It was quite amusing!
(and yes, this was just before the time idiots began throwing paint on people wearing furs)
When I got my 2nd one, I was to get an anklet (I was retired, lived on a farm) - She wanted a bracelet of horses galloping around her wrist. BUT, at the time, she was still a working nurse.
It took me ages to convince her that although tattoo's were becoming more acceptable it could/would be still upsetting to certain people who still thought of tattoos only on druggies or gangsters. She finally agreed to a horses' head on her shoulder which would easily be covered by a short sleeved shirt. - A black & white paint with a feather behind his ear - absolutely beautiful.
And then, the tattooist (word looks funny!) actually came out to the farm to do them! Neat-O! His day with his kid and brought his 8 yr old daughter which was great as while he was doing my friend I took her around to see all the horses, and vice-versa.
While talking, it turned out that his dad had been the organizer for the convention at which I had gotten my first tat! but no, it didn't get me a discount!
So all in all, I guess what I am trying to say - to each his own. That guy in the pic still looks quite happy if not proud to have his picture taken with his tats.
Now - face tattoos and body piercing heads - I have a problem with...
