+1 I couldn't agree more! Certain people may not lose worse with ink, but I can't think of anyone I've seen where the ink made them look better.

As someone who has 20+ year old tatoos be careful where you place it and imagine it in 20 years.

Tats are a bad idea

I guess I’m old school but when I grew up the only people getting tattoos were sailors and white trash.

I suppose times have changed but I still think a tattoo is an advertisement that you tend to make bad decisions.

Tats are blue collar and are particularly trashy looking on females.

Phil Knight got a Nike tattoo on his ankle...talk about branded for life...Oh, yeah, he was a founder of Nike and has about a billion $$$ worth of stock. That makes sense...

I say if it is what you want and it makes you happy get one but only if you are over 25.

I was at a gun show a few years ago and a huge guy about 6' 7" was wearing a cut-off plaid shirt and he had "FORD TOUGH" tattooed on his arm with the Ford emblem. I thought it looked rather nice.

I have some ink and plan on getting a larger one as well however mine is a symbol of my background and reprsents a relative of mine that has passed away... I'm not sure I'd ever be happy with a corporate logo or trademarked image on me for life... but hey to each his own I guess!

Just make sure the tattooist is a Rolex owner as well...

Hi, I'm Phoebe, Lisa's daughter. I'm seven. Just wanted to say hi. Why don't you try temporary tattoos?

I think you should be original and get no tattoo.

To me tattoos are like all all of the goth kids who all dress alike in goth gear to prove they they are all non-conformists.

Remember the tribal armbands from the early 90's? Those are about as fashionable as mullets now.

Instead of a Rolex tattoo, just buy a Rolex.

Once again, Velitsko, I see horror instead of humor! Can't get the image out of my mind of... well... you know... that thing in a certain situation. What man in his right mind could... er... wouldn't that just seem SO weird?

By the way, is that supposed to be Willie Nelson?

Are you thinking of a small Rolex Crown, discretely located somewhere where nobody can see it? If you are thinking of a sharp 2X2 square inch tat, that might look cool.

But some massive monstrosity on your arm, chest, back, or buttocks....um..no...that would look terrible.
