It's monkey time!!!

[Tripper]

So I went to Home Depot today & there was a tatted up woman there... including on her face & forehead! I saw something on her shoulder & lo & behold it was a small monkey in a lil monkey diaper. Maybe the circus is in town?!?

Monkey time

I hate it when my monkey craps in my hair.

No offense to those that have tats, but I just don’t get them. My Mom would about beat my rear if I marked on myself with an ink pen, so I never had any desire to mark myself permanently. Most just look nasty to me unless they are tiny. Not my place to judge those that have them, if they make you happy that’s all that matters.

It's become a generational thing Bama.
I've know some old ladies(Old as in age) that had some small tats but they were rare and most had checkered pasts of some sort.
Plus, as my grandfather was a judge we went by the collar and cuffs code. If you had to go to court you could wear a long sleeve shirt and tie to cover them all up.
I read an interesting article that was of the opinion that people didn't get tats to make themselves more attractive, but to make them selves stand out from the crowd.
I think there is a truth in that.
And... No monkey for me. Thank you.

I have none but my Wife has 1 and my Daughter has a few. My Wife's is the paw print of a dog we lost and my Daughter has a few that symbolize things. Hearts in the color of our family members birthday, a small poem for my Mom and Dad and a couple meaningful of dogs she had. I don't get the full sleeve thing or just all over your body. Plus they are not cheap at all. I have know people complaining of not having any money but a couple weeks later show me a huge tat they just got. Jim

I use to want a tat when I was a teenager, use to draw them on myself with color pens. I have zero tats. My 3 daughters however each have the same roman numerals, the date of their mothers passing three years ago.

There are young people walking around today with insane tatoos, especially the face and head ones. 30 years from now when they look in the mirror I think they are going to be very sorry.

This is so true. We have a guy in town that his entire face and head is tattooed. Jim

my grandmother tricked me into not getting one. i don't regret it at all. i'm like bama i don't care if you have them or not.

I've lived in Austin & Mrs Tripper still has a real estate office there. It's a really hip town & most of the youngsters are sporting tats! I don't have any but dig many of the beautiful ones I see... nearly anyone in Austin that serves food has at least one sleeve! Always wanted one but could never find any that were cool enough (for me) to get but if I did it would definitely have to be car orientated! But at my age considering how much they cost... what would be the point... I spend all my $$$ on car parts!

Monkey... no thanks!
