I'm getting inked today.

[Scotty Dog]

I'm getting my first tattoo today in honor of my granddaughter. "Mia Lena Fitts".
My 60th B-day present to me-self. It's all about the "look".
I absolutely love this precious bundle of joy.

Cute! But remember ... when you're old, you might regret this reckless decision of your youth. Oh, wait a minute ....

Funny, I like that statement.lol

 

[Scotty Dog]

Done deal.

Glad to see that you didn't go with the Tramp Stamp.

A slave to fads...….sad

I liked how Mia Lena was grumpy looking but when you held her she was all smiles. Granddaughters are precious.

Yea, tattooing is totally a new fad. I'm pretty sure people won't be getting anymore tattoos in another couple years. Most likely go out of style like the eating or breathing.

She is really a wicked happy girl. But she can give you the look when she wants to be serious. My son really liked the depiction of her with the Tweety-Pie cartoon.

Congrats on the cute bundle of joy and the tattoo that celebrates her!

 

[Scotty Dog]

Shes growing up. Should be down in Fl maybe Jan to see her.

We call that look the "Stink Eye", its pretty much you told her NO and " what are you going to do to fix that".

No tats for me.

Mine are 40 years old. A lot of color loss due to working outside in construction.
My first was a Road Runner, now under a Panther.
My left upper arm is Mr. Friday Night. A rootin tootin ready to party dragon.
My Right upper arm is Mr. Saturday. A hung over fart poofin slumpy dragon.
Don't regret none of it. Not even the Tattoo's.

In the 50s and 60s, getting a tattoo was an expression of rebellion. Now it's a expression of conformity

The first few grandkids are lucky because they get lots on your arms.

My own grandpa had um ... 18 grand kids.

I have three and I designed them myself. Tats are a form of expression that is very personal. I and most others who decide to get one...conform to nothing more than their own creativity.

Beautiful grand-child and tattoo! I am glad it is a great experience and memory for you. Enjoy! Careful.....they can lead to more!

Yea.......you said it man, a fad....that's been around for thousands of years.

I dont remember seeing the original poster asking you or Mr. Whiskey what people thought of tattoos. I think he was simply sharing his joy. I say let him do it in peace.

I want to get another tat on my left arm in memory of my Dad and my oldest brother. I'm going to design it me-self. I doodled in drawing my whole life.

I ran into a couple female friends that have been getting tattoos forever. I mentioned getting my first tat at 60 yrs old. I mentioned getting another before my skin is all wrinkled. Jokingly... wwell, one said, at least your tats will all look sharp and bright because they are new. One of the girls showed me a tiger she had on her leg from many years ago. It was all faded and kinda spreading all together. No detail left at all. So, I guess starting to get ink later in life ain't so bad. And I know what "I" want. Not my buzzed brain or broken heart talking to me.

I don't remember any forum rules stating I have to check with the OP before throwing my two scents in. Perhaps you could enlighten me.
