At arm’s length: are tattoos finally becoming uncool?

[Cyber Liberty]

More luck than sense... I remember being drunk as hell, sitting in the tatt parlor ready to get a gal's name wrote on me... Thankfully, even in my drunken and love struck stupor, I could calculate that same sort of thing you said, and left off of it.

Not a single tat. About the only foolish thing I didn't do.

Dittos.  I have had no poisonous heavy metals injected beneath my Epidermis either.

A buttoned up long sleeve shirt hides most of the rest of the damn fool things.

Lately, I've been wondering why people want a semi-permanent tattoo to begin with.

So, I did the research and discovered that over 40 percent of American marriages end in divorce and, logically, a higher percentage of long-term serious relationships fail.
