Neck tattoos.
 
I must be getting old. Little things seem to get under my skin more and more. I try to suck it up and shoulder-shrug. But,

Seems as if there are more and more folks, esp sports and entertainment and sometimes people right in our neckofthewoods. Big NECK tattoos. After spotting this I wonder what they will do when they’re 60, 70, 80. Perhaps tattoo removal will be a good investment business.

Mind you I’m fine with tattoos, it’s your body and life. But sometimes it’s a Yikes. Esp the sleeve tatts and hand tatts. And now Neck.

When we have a Server or such with a few tatts I ask the significance etc etc.

Also on the “getting cranky” topic, I just got back from a drive up and back on Buena Vista. Going around about 16 roundabouts. 5 of them, drivers simply HAD to go directly side by side with me even tho I slowed etc before. 2 even cut the line close and I needed to brake more than normal in case they would cut over. It was not busy and no need to cut corners. C’mon - common sense folks. Don’t parallel drive around roundabouts!!!

Neck tatts? How about the face and head tatts? One thing good that can be said is these people will be easy to locate in their geezer years when Silver Alert are posted about them.

Neck and Face Tattoos: When you go into the Tattoo Parlor just say, "Give me something that will cause my mother to cry herself to sleep every night for the rest of her life"

Sorry, but I had to count them.

Q: Which road has more roundabouts, Buena Vista or Morse?
A: Buena Vista

By my count, Buena Vista has 20 and Morse has 13.

Drive next to me on the roundabouts if you like. You stay in your lane, I’ll stay in mine, and we’ll have no problems.

I have 9 , unless I’m shirtless or wearing a tank top you can’t see them , they were done in different places in the world , they are all black and tribal symbols , significant to different warrior groups , which mean something to me after 40 years of my life spent at that trade

You must have or had lots of "Tank Tops"... :D

I definitely have my thoughts on tattoos but would never not like someone for having one. I use to think how wasted did they have to be but it is more main stream now for sure. I do wonder why people take beautiful bodies and cover them with graffiti. Not for me but for more than ever before.

Not a fan of tattoos especially on the neck or face.

Perhaps your right, that painted strip is a lane marking ?

Doesn’t matter
 
It’s funny how you seem to be worried about your thoughts, not anyone else’s? I wonder how ear lobe gauging interrupts your thought process or prejudging?

I agree... Tattoos can definitely get under one's skin...

Wait, isn't that the point?

A difference is that graffiti is easier to remove.

Their tattoos greatly assist in identifying perps, especially face and neck tattoos as they appear in mugshots.
