    Upon further review, I suppose they were doubled out.

    Dislike? No. But I've yet to see a woman whose looks are improved by tattoos.

    Go to a water park or a big public swimming area sometime. If you don't have a tat and are under 35 you are in the minority.

    Pool area in Vegas. You'll be running about a 98% tat rate.

    I doubt many, if any, people have issues with a tattoo, or a couple of them.

    It's when people choose to become an illustrated man (or woman) that it can become problematic, and perceived as a judgment issue rather than a more positively perceived trendy/artsy/novel/impulsive/fun/different/meaningful sort of something to do.

    Any personal message, style or statement simply gets lost, distracted from or turned into a negative just by being overdone.

    Bland is always in style.
     
  8. I'm 38 and one of the most stereotypical schlubby, white, vanilla dudes around and I have a tat. My wife has 2. Ive liked Whitley for years, and maybe he is just poking fun at himself, but if an NFL QB who spent 2 years in federal prison for abusing dogs is ok, some kid doing his version of Allen Iverson-lite is just fine. And Tara are all about personal preference.

    There was a time when a lot of columnists and most readers had a sense of humor. Whitley is one of the few left in the former category, and obviously there are few left in the latter.

    disagree with you totally. You haven't been reading Whitley very often.

    David Whitley is troll trash.

    The Big Lead makes this case better than I care to here.

    Well, sez you. Sounds like you may have been up for a job he got.
