My nephew's new tattoo

If he wanting to be gainfully employed in some sort of professional capacity, that is what he will say when he must wear long sleeve shirts and a jacket to cover the tat OR pay the $$ to get the tat removed.

Wow - we saw a guy at a local tourist place here in AZ - with dozens of kids and people of all ages around. He was wearing a t-shirt that had that same word all over it, different fonts, different sizes but just completely covering the tshirt. I could not in life figure out why someone would wear that - well, at least wear it out in public where there was such a huge amount of families with small kids.

I don't get it - except some people love to shock other people...that is one word that will usually do it.

That ^^^ and I love tattoos. I have 4 of them.

Any possible way it was just a fake tattoo? Joking around to get people worked up?

What a silly thing to do. I don't envy the life he's created for himself.

I was just talking to my sister today about people who get covered with huge tattoos and are they thinking of what it will look like when they are 70 years old. I don't mind tattoos but some people go overboard and one like that will be hard to live with.

Ok, tattoos are expensive, he doesn't have a job, how did he pay for it? A job in the future sounds doubtful. I would pull the plug on the RV, he and his tasteless tattoo could go live elsewhere.

I always wonder how people who don't have jobs have money for things like tattoos. Makes you wonder what he was thinking when he got it. Or I guess he wasn't thinking.

Legit to me and yes they wipe ink off while tattooing.

My 20 something niece got a large tattoo recently and then was of course complaining about not being able to afford things like food or gas. When my mom (her grandma) asked her about the tattoo she said she saved for it. That's good, but of course she doesn't realize that if she used that saved money for necessities instead of a luxury like a tattoo, things would be easier

It's just a different mindset than when I was that age!

The only "good" thing about that, is since it's contained to his upper arm, it shouldn't be too much of an issue for employment. Even a short-sleeved shirt will hide enough that no one would know what it says. And if he gets a job where the whole thing would be visible while at work... well, they obviously wouldn't have much of a dress code since he'd have to be sleeveless.

My husband's cousin has a young daughter and is a single mom. She works a low paying job. She takes good care of her daughter and is a good mom, but she often complains about money being tight. Yet... she found money to get a huge tattoo that covers her whole back.
