What about the Death Penalty? Well, what about it? I only support the Death Penalty for people who tailgate me going down the mountains. Actually, the Death Penalty is much too serious for me to write about, for I lack the moral courage to take either side, or even both sides. Therefore, I shall write about Tattoos.
“Well,” you say, “You also lack the moral courage to write about tattoos or anything else.” (I read your mind.) To which I respond: “Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!” Having fully explained my position, I can confidently answer your questions about tattoos.
Should you get a tattoo? Some people say yes, some say no. I say NO! No! NO! An extreme position? Yes, but that’s how I roll. But I do allow exceptions, for people in the Military and Bikers.
(Free Zen Thought for today: Life is not complicated if you quit trying to figure it out (and don’t get a tattoo)).
Why these two exceptions? First of all, if you are the type of person who asks: ”Should I get a tattoo?”, you shouldn’t get a tattoo. If you get a tattoo where your clothes will cover it, you shouldn’t get a tattoo. If you will ever feel embarrassed that you have a tattoo, you shouldn’t get a tattoo. If you would blush when you see someone laughing at your tattoo, instead of going over and kicking their hiney, you shouldn’t get a tattoo.
What groups of people qualify to have tattoos under these requirements. Military and Bikers! If they have an Eagle tattoo or a Dragon tattoo, it’s not because they wannabe an Eagle or a Dragon. It’s because they are an Eagle or a Dragon. They show their tattoos off with pride. (I also give them exceptions because if I don’t they will whip my hiney.)
(Curtis Adams’ tattoo says:
NO REPRESENTATION WITHOUT TAXATION!
I won’t tell you where it is.)
So, if you have to get a tattoo, make sure it’s of something you have the physical and moral courage, and ability, to back up : Deathhead, Tiger, Eagle, Dragon, Viper, and so forth.
Now I know why I don’t get a tattoo. Who would want a tattoo of a worm?
