Yo, Dude, Who Did Your Ink?


After noting an ad for tattoo removal training, I was reminded of something I saw the other day while at my local builder supply store. Two very large individuals with tattoos that must have got the tats much earlier in life, when they were, oh let's say, 100 pounds lighter. The gentleman, and I use the term loosely, had a tat on the back of his calf of a pinup girl. Strange place for a pinup girl, but his calf was so jiggly that it made his pinup girl look tubby. Yes, this is just one example of people not really thinking out the tattoos they get. Maybe if he could see the back of his calf, he would notice his pinup girl doesn't look as nice as it once did and he would have the incentive to drop some of those added pounds, if only for her sake.

Another bad decision that it seems more and more people are making, is the decision to get inked on the neck, or face. Almost any other place a person could get a tattoo, they could cover it up with clothing if they needed to. What are you going to do when you go on a job interview, and you have to stare at your future boss with a tattoo on the side of your neck of an Uzi, or an exgirlfriends name. Or worse yet with a tat on your cheek of some tears, which may or may not indicate that you have killed someone. Please, tell me, what are people thinking when they get tattoos on these locations? They must be thinking they are going to make it big as a rock star, or are just going to sell drugs the rest of their life. Then you have the people that actually think that just because they have a tattoo on their neck, they shouldn't be judged because of it. I am sorry, but I really don't want to send in a scary looking dude with tattoos from his ankle to his neck to my accounts where they have to work among my customer's customers. If you have a problem with that, move to California where they are a little more excepting of those types of things. If California is too far for you, I am sure Council Bluffs will work for you.

Yes, it's these people that makes me think getting into tattoo removal is not a bad idea at all. So, click on the ad and start your journey on your new career!

  1. Most get a tattoo to be different - stand out in a crowd. I prefer to not get one - to stand out in a crowd. If you come up with a really cool design or idea, draw it on a piece of paper. You won't have the weight gain issue or saggy, wrinkly skin issue later in life.
