Maybe not quite what you're looking for but this is an attractive look.  This gentleman was kicked in the forehead by a cop the other day after one of our famous high speed chases petered out with him spread eagle on the ground. 

Guess the author of this quote:

There's something really the matter with most people who wear tattoos. I know from experience there's something terribly flawed about people who are tattooed above the little something Johnny had done in the Navy, even though that's also a bad sign.

 *LOL* But when you got up close to them it would turn from a solid color into little dots.

When I get old I'm going to have a tatoo put on my face of my own face when I was young and studly.

Oh that crazy Truman Capote. Yes, 80% of the tattoed people I've met also turned out to be serial killers, so obviously that observation is 100% accurate! Someone buy that man a beer!

Dunno. I'd rather judge someone by the content of their character rather than what they've chosen to permanently etch onto their own skin.

p.s. I'm going to call my best friend, a tattoo artist, and ask him if old age does anything to a tattoo other than fade it. (That is a funny birthday card, though.)

Apparently.

Man, this entire thread is in poor taste. Why start and continue a thread doing nothing but bashing people who have or appreciate tattoos? Is there nothing better to do on the internet these days?

"Only time will tell what tattoos done in the last 10 years will look like on old people. The quality of pigments is a lot better than it used to be. Tattoo artists are more skilled. People know more about skin care than they used to. I've done tattoos on people in their 80's [with this new ink] and old skin is papery and inelastic, but [the new pigments] take really well.

"It all depends on how well you take care of it. If you're out in the sun a lot or go tanning, your tattoo will age badly. If the tattoo artists put the ink in too deep or not deep enough, it will age badly. If it's too deep, it will blow out and look hazy. If it's not deep enough, it will leak out.

"Different parts of your skin stretch differently, too. The inside of your arm stretches more than the outside, for example. It also depends on how evenly that part of the body stretches from age or weight gain.

A tattoo will warp a little bit with a lot of weight gain. If you gain weight too fast, the subdermal layer will rip and these stretch marks will rip up your tattoo. If the skin stretches evenly, on your ass, say, over a period of years, no problem.

No matter what, if you get a green star on your tit when you're 16, it's is going to look like a Christmas tree when you're 60."

Aint got a problem with tattoos myself, would get one myself one day but I'm too much of a shitbag to go through with it lol

 3 of my exes had tats, some can look very sexy on a woman

One of my freinds has one going across his shoulders and 2 on his arms that look rather cool

"Ive got good news....that gum you like is going to come back in style!"

"I'm a WHOLE DAMN TOWN!"

 i'm not trying to defend anyone or dogpile on anyone, but where do i fall in the asshole continuum if i don't think less of people who have tattoos or anything, but the vast majority of the time i find them to be unattractive? i mean my wife has one so it's not a dealbreaker, but....yeah.

I've dated over-tattooed men. And men who were too bulky in the muscle department. And men who refused to shave their back hair. Meh. All affectations that can be looked past. So I know what you mean.
