You Know You Are Old When

Not as uncommon as one might think...

Rosebud is another...

Is it just me or are others noticing many younger officers are tatted?

Hard to find one that isn't these days. Times change. When I was a kid the only one's with tattoos were sailors.

The only tattoos I remember as a kid were vets...

Mr Tom up the street always wore a t-shirt with a pack of cigarettes rolled under one sleeve.

On his arm was a tattoo of a hula girl and when he flexed the girl did the hula.

We thought it was great and always wanted to see the girl do the hula.

Mr Tom died early of lung cancer...

Yep. Hula girls, anchors, and MOM tattoos. Had several in our circle of family and friends.

Now tribal tats and sleeves are required youth adornment. It started with the rising popularity of the gangster look and is mandatory in the gangs. Signed, a tatfree old guy.

A young Tonga lady California born works at the big ACE hardware as do her parents…

I remember when she was born.

22 now and covered with Tonga tribal art.

I mentioned it to her mom and the mom said she wanted to identify with her heritage…

Mom and Dad have no Tattoos but it is a thing now for American born… just like University Graduations with cultural themed school receptions…

Whatever. They are still tattoos and when you get old they look like crap.

That Party Animal Tattoo on your rear doesn't look so cool when you're 85, and laying face down for your hemorrhoid surgery.

At one of our class reunions, a girl that had always been flat chested showed up with a really nice rack. Another classmate said she had married a plastic surgeon.

Once I realize they are fake my interest plummets.

Yeah, that's what the surgery is for, to reduce the plummeting, lol.
