No one can deny that the heaviest concentrations of tattoos occur in the lowest segments of society -- prostitutes, pimps, pugs, prison inmates, Ku Klux Klansmen and the members of street and motorcycle gangs.
Now, according to this week's story, 36 percent of young people have decided to emulate such lowlifes.
And some news media want to glamorize them.
Seriously?
Paul Carpenter (aka: Biggest Piece of Douche To Reside in PA) wrote an entire article degrading and demoralizing EVERYONE who has a tattoo. Feast your eyes on this fine
piece of literary shit.
I am almost at a complete loss of words (and that is like..once in an effing blue moon). This kind of blatant ignorance and bigotry astounds me still, even though I've dealt with the likes of people like him off and on for years. So I guess all African-American's are thugs, all Asians are bad drivers and any one who lives below the Mason Dixon line is a redneck gun-totin' God fearing hillbilly.
All-righty then.
If an idiot wants to get a tattoo, he or she should be free to do so. I just think responsible news media organizations should not glamorize them. What's next? Glamorizing child molesters or kluxers?
We're all idiots, probably prostitutes, and any number of garden variety unworthy vagrants. Oh and we're somehow placed within the same categorized cesspool as child molesters and kluxers. And Pugs? Did you catch that? Is he comparing us to those cute wittle puppies or did the idiot mean thugs? Sheesh.
Wow. All because we choose to color our skin. Because we find beauty in art and expression and individuality (although..wow, with 36% of 18-29 year olds having them I guess we're all sort of sheep now--filthy gang banging illiterate sheep. Baaaaaaa).
Never mind that we're also mothers and fathers and grandparents and caregivers and blood donors and SERVICE MEMBERS and volunteers and PTA members and ....just UGH.
I could continue on (oh, and then some) but attempting to retort with any sort of sense towards someone so abysmal and lacking any kind of social intelligence would be like trying stop rain from being wet.
To over-simplify my thoughts I'll simply state that being tattooed does not equate to being any of these condescending and derogatory monikers....obviously. In fact, the only difference at all between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is that tattooed people are way cooler and can totally kick your ass. :oP
And also, they could save your life.
Or represent you in court.
Or remove a tumor from your child's brain.
This is Dr. Dave. He graduated from Columbia University. He's pretty effing smart..GADZOOKS! And he has tattoos!

Then promptly punch yourself repeatedly in the face.
