A pretty cover does not a good book make.

Some of the nastiest people are very attractive to look at thinking back about some of the law students I knew at the University of Minnesota Law School. Outer beauty had nothing to do with inner beauty.
I know a lot of tattooed retired people who had a stint in the military who are quite nice and many of these people are here in the Villages.
Now if you have a skull tattoo on your face I am crossing the road to go look at that store over there.
I remember some prisoners at the Minnesota Correctional Facility around 1987-1989 in Stillwater who had tear tattoos. I thought that was a little cute until I found out what it meant. That they had killed someone to get their status in a gang or had done it as an rite-of-passage into the gang. Of course, in 2014, it may mean something entirely different given wherever you are.
Prison fashions often became very popular with the teens -- just look at the pants on the ground trend.
