Why I Don't Like Tattoos

[+ Avalon]

When I was a young boy (single digit) our next door neighbors were a husband and wife. He was a retired navy veteran - he was in WWII - and the wife was an Italian war bride. He was an alcoholic.

 

During nice weather he would wear Bermuda shorts and go shirtless. He was not fat but was a bit flabby. He had gray hair on his chest.

 

And on his chest in purple ink he had a tattoo of a large charging Gorilla!!!

 

On his arms both upper and lower he also had tattoos.

 

That Gorilla was enough to give a boy nightmares!

You now have two threads on this page with the word I in the title. The other:

I have ordered a walker. What's up?

The "I" walker thread was to share with others that I finally ordered a walker which many had encouraged me to do.

 

And this "I" thread was to explain in part as to why I do not like tattoos. In another thread many thought it wrong for me to have asked an escort why he had gotten tattoos. I apologized there.

When I was young there was a guy down the street who had a tattoo on his bicep. He walked by our house every day going to the beach. Mid 20's, Italian and always wore a speedo. That is why today I love tattoos, Italian men and speedos. Not sure what the tattoo was of. Too busy staring at the bulge in his speedo!!:p:p

I like tattoos on men because even as a small boy, I found them very erotic. I would get little-boy boners over tattooed men.

Are you saying that to this day all tattoos give you nightmares?! Or is your opinion really a matter of taste. I assume the latter, but if I’m wrong you should get counseling. If I’m correct, I hope this thread doesn’t inspire others like “why I don’t like carrots” or “why I don’t like boxer shorts.” The possibilities are endless.

Personally, I only mind if they're really trashy tattoos.

I find tattoos to be distracting. Like on the dance shows when I see a tattoo I pay more attention to it than the performance. And now instead of just a picture some have words. And not just a sentence but a paragraph. And some too have a date in Roman Numerals. I want to know what they mean like when I see vanity licence plates.

 

I'd think being with an escort or just a hook-up and he has a tattoo of a female that would be a turn off.

 

Btw I hate carrots!
