I like tattoos. I have several myself, including my left arm sleeve and a chest piece, and ones up my back. And legs. I've accumulated mine over the course of the past 22 years, since I was 20. But, maybe I'm an old geezer now, but I look at some kids today and think to myself, Too Much Too Soon! There's no need to go in and get your entire back tattooed in a couple of sittings, there's no need to cover your entire body, neck and head with tattoos before you're 24. Why? Because you're gonna go grow up. And some of those tattoos, my friends, you WILL regret. I regret a few of mine. It happens because you get older, your priorities and your lifestyle changes. You're not going to be hardcore when you're 50. And then there's employment. If they're creeping onto your hands and up your neck, good luck holding down a decent job and making decent money. You may think that being poor is cool when you're 22 (I did), but when you're 42, you'll have different ideas. Just some advice, kids, from a grumpy old man.
