To tattoo or not a sly thing?
Mikekoz13:
I think tats and SLy do sort of go together.... but I believe that it has a lot to do with the fact that both are sort of working outside the norms of society. If you shave your head, which many paople don't do, I think you're more likely to do other things that most people don't do....... like get a tattoo.
I got my first tattoo at 47.

To be honest, I am personally not a tattoo type of guy. But I do feel that tattoos and shaved heads often do go together.
It is a good idea to do it above where a shirt can cover it. Not only would you possibly keep the old traditional "religious" gals from telling you that you are going to hell, it would help in the job market.
When I used to work for Starbucks, which can attract trendy type kids, the regulations were that tattoos could not be exposed on the work floor. I know that in the business world, appearance can be a issue. I don't know if you would deal with any of this kind of stuff, but I do think it is good to err on the side of caution if one is to get a tattoo. So no facial tattoos either! :*))
As for the "religious" folks, I should say that I am a Christian and know others in my church with tattoos. To me, Christianity or any faith, is supposed to be a matter of the heart, not appearance. Sometimes well meaning "religious" or Christian folks get their focus off of God and onto appearances. So if you do share some of your mom's faith, I don't believe that tattoos are necessarily contrary to having faith.

Yea if you want 1, definitely get 1...
I just got my first in January, its at the top of my arm well out of sight, although both my 'rents have seen it and are cool with it.
For some ppl tats and shav'd heads do go hand in hand... I think of it as more of an individual thing. so if you want 1, get 1... just 1 tho. don't go over board. each tattoo should be seriously thought out.
Papa Don:
I have quite a collections of tats. I've not received negative remarks about them, mostly curiousity. I really don't think the religious factor come into play; more of judging attitude. My neighbor lady who is very religious is OK with the tats, but raked me over the coals when I went Sly. Go figure? I say, if you want one, more power to you. Go for it!
