Body Ink Gone Wrong

Rock singers love to sing about music I like without singing music I like.

The only great song with "rock n roll" in the title is probably

and maybe

I think tattoos generally look ridiculous. I'm sure the sleeve tat moms think I look ridiculous. And so it goes.


That seems like the worst idea ever.

Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
-Flaubert

that tends not to upset the status quo in the same way that solid organizing or spontaneous revolt does.

 

[cyclopean]

If you can't see it I'm not sure I can explain it.
I'll try.
In a world well on it's way to going mad, staying normal is a powerful form of rebellion. Maybe the only one that matters.

Normie's like me acknowledge the madness that exists out there but do not get all "monkey see, monkey do" just because "everyone else is doing it." Succumbing to the overwhelming stupidity of the world is not who I am.

I'll always be that guy watching the lemmings go over the cliff trying to get their attention...... "uh guys".... "guys."

If you’re staying normal, that’s just status quo, not rebellion.

Well, I was just thinking, you know you can't be in a room with a Vegan for four and half seconds before a Vegan starts expounding on their being a Vegan, and if they were covered in tattoos, then it would be like a magpie convention!

Most vegans i know never bring it up unless they’re ordering food.

And i’ve worked in a vegan restaurant.

Look around my friend, normal is not the status quo............ these dayz.

sounds like something Jordan Peterson might say

I don't know who that is, but he sounds OK.

For the longest time, a tattoo meant you were ex-military, a criminal, or generally white trash.
Nowadays it means "Dude, I was in Tijuana, I was bombed on Tequila, and I had $50 ..."

As for a tattoo meaning you're a badass, the toughest and most lethal human I've ever had the pleasure of knowing was my kung fu sifu (master). This guy could take a 6" staff and run it like a helicopter. He could also take a staff hit in the throat and break cinderblocks with his forehead. And he had 2 sons who were also national MMA champs, one who served in Marine Recon. He had zero tattoos.

As for me, in 64 years I've never come across anything profound enough that I wanted it stenciled on my body. Including names of family members. That's what t-shirts are for (they come off easier). Maybe a nice octopus on the back of my bald head someday ...

I like this new rock-metal group from Romania.
Zero tattoos.

 

[Happy Enchilada]

Long hair, shaved heads, and full beards are all things that are aesthetically unbecoming on most men.

Try laying THAT on your friendly neighborhood Viking.
Of course, they don't hang around Starbucks with an iPhone and a murse ... too busy earning a ticket to Valhalla.

And i’ve worked in a vegan restaurant.

Most vegans I know have announced they are vegans four times before they order in a restaurant!

Most vegans I know have announced they are vegans four times before they order in a restaurant!

Including at least TWICE during the discussion of where to go eat!

Most of the tough men I know have tattoos, and most of them served tours for thier country. I have tattoos, and unless I am not wearing a shirt you would never know. I tend to not judge people by what they look like though and I am not into judging a person I never met at first glance. Might miss out on some pretty great people.

It's like the "extreme fitness" folks who join CrossFit:
"The first rule of CrossFit is to ALWAYS talk about CrossFit."
As for vegans, my eldest said it best once:
"I eat things that eat salad."

Neither do tattoos.

My wife and I just got back from a dive vacation. Two guys on the boat were shaved bald, tatted up, and body builders. If you were judging a book by its cover, you would think "Bad a$$ SEAL divers" . . . . They looked like 12 year-olds under the water (and that statement is unfair to the 12 year-old divers I have seen that are awesome).

What happened to the pictures?Come back thread,come back pictures

If a Vegan also does CrossFit, which would they talk about first?

 

[Toto'sDad]

Well, lemmesee here. A Vegan CrossFitter, or a Crossfitten Vegan? That's a hard question right there.

WOW!
