Once
upon a time I was fascinated by tattoos. I still am, to a certain
degree. Like the guy who sold me the roof...he had awesome "card"
tattoos, each containing the name of a sibling. I secretly hoped the
"Alex" one was for his husband but to no avail. He said he had a phoenix
that covered a shoulder and crept over to his back.
As you
all know, my tastes run the gamut. Take the guy above...at first I see
beautiful artwork on a hot body. But then I think it's a bit overdone
and what will it look like when he's much older...or fatter...and those
muscled pecs sag to the middle of his chest? Don't
get me started on the pain he had to endure to have these images
permanently applied to his skin. And I wonder what motivated him to have
it done...what's the "story" behind it all.
And then
there's someone like this guy, whose tattoos seem so random. The stars
are symmetrical and I suppose whatever is tattooed across his
mid-section is as well....but the colored detailed ink on his right
arm/shoulder seems very offset by the left arm tattoo.
