I personally think tattoos are disgusting, and I wouldn't be caught dead with one. They're also a major turnoff when I see them on women.

However, that's just my personal opinion. When it comes to an impartial discussion of the merits of tattoos, allow me to quote from handyman philosopher and quintessential Canadian icon, Red Green...

$1:

I know a lot of you teens feel you have to rebel and be obnoxious and embarrass your parents at restaurants, but that's just a normal part of growing up and finding your way in the world, especially when your parents throw you out.

Whereas getting a tattoo is stupid.

I don't mean those rub-on dealies in the box of Crunchie Critters, I'm talking about a carnival-booth, skin-carved, sober-up-and-scream-about-it tattoo.

A tattoo is basically a liquid sliver. And the liquid is permanent ink. Getting a tattoo is like sucking on a pen with your whole body.

And it's painful. There are only two things more painful than getting a tattoo, the first one being getting two tattoos and the second being getting either of them removed.

Maybe there's some appeal in having Guns 'N Roses tattooed on your butt, but sixty years from now, in the middle of your hemorrhoid operation, you're gonna find out why it's not a good idea to get your surgeon laughing.

These kids should have left tattoo's where they belong. On sailors and convicts or a combination of both.

Took me 50 years to get the first one and probably another 50 to get another. I like to be sure about that kind of thing.

Hear hear! So I still have some contemplating to do before then.
