Survey:Tattoo popularity booming since the 1970s

Oh, enough about unfunded mandates, taxes and deficits....A survey shows one in four Americans age 18 to 50 now have at least one tattoo...That compares to less than ten percent in 1936......I guess they don't do such surveys very often.
The photos from Alex Bay of Polar Dipper Extraordinaire Brittnee reveals numerous tattoos. As the summer approaches, it seems just about every young lady has a "butt cap"...also called a "tramp stamp". Thats the body art at the base of the back...hence the term butt cap which is the official term...Dr. Strange told me so.
I swim against the tide on this one...I understand the artistry and really good work is interesting, but mostly its a call for attention and detracts from the human body. I can imagine how galling many parents find it to have their 17 year old daughter come home with a butt cap...especially when they hear it referred to as a tramp stamp...
Of course with so many getting tattoos, body art may not rightly be associated with loose morals, as it once was....On the other hand, it could be there are looser morals as well.
In any event, tattoos are in and show no sign of fading soon..Although as you get older they may droop a little.

I keep waiting for tattoos to go out of style but no luck so far. Same goes with stainless steel appliances even though you can get a stainless microwave at walmart for $59.

How about poking holes in your head? eyebrow, cheek, nose tongue.
That seems as popular as ever too.
I don't want no tongue piercing touching my johnson...it detracts from the experience of intimacy...as do Altoids.

I miss the the big 80's when "preppy" was in fad and you were supposed to get attention by accomplishing something, getting rich or pretending you were rich by wearing an alligator on your shirt.

You know its kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial

So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gonna play the field and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
Hey, hey, do that un-new thing...

I heard her call into the hotline today.
Good god...now I see why charlie Sheen pays for it with cars...so he don't have to talk to them.
Who want to know about the meaning behind someones tats? That's why god gave us speech and all that. So we can share our spersonal stuff with the people we chose to. I guess tats are the facebook of real life. They are out there for everyone to see and give you attention over.

I think tattoos on women are gross. One is okay, but any more than that, definitely not. If you are woman, and I can see tattoos up & down your arms or legs or across the top of your chest showing above the neckline of your shirt, I immediately do not take a thing you say seriously.

The "whole sex deal"? I don't think I've ever experienced the whole sex deal. I thought I had, until I saw those ice photos. Tell us CR, what are the components of the "whole sex deal". I wanna learn. I don't think Mikey is the one to tell us about that.
