My Dad did time in the services during WWII and had a couple on his arm. He was later keen to get them removed which he did - when I think about it I am not sure how he had them taken off. He still has marks on his arms.
Having three daughters of my own I am glad they missed the fad or chose to ignore it.
I think it is a bit like the Gothic thing. - some people follow the trend and dress in black etc etc.. Then others go down other fad paths.
But tattoos are not like a fashion trend there may/will come a time when they are sick of being Gothic or whatever and just go back main stream.
... But what happens when this girl gets rid of her 60's car and wants to follow another trend?
I was talking with my neighbour - and he is younger than me - about the heavily tattooed girl and he said he would never employ her as he sees her as rebellious and stuck in a trend or time warp. He told me he has spoken at length to his daughter about it and she is not keen to get one.
he told me his surgeon friend had threatened to tattoo "Daddy's Little Girl" in a prominent place on her body if he operated on her....
Mmmm don't know if that's right with his thinking about employing this girl, but it is his comments and he is in the medical field with a large practice with a number of Doctors, Nurses and administration staff.
I thought he would see lots of females with tattoos. But apparently most have small roses, swallows etc etc..
Me, well I am thinking of having Shelby tattooed on me with a Cobra..
if only it was temporary - I may end up driving something else...
