I've just run across a TV show called "Tattoo Nightmares." My first reaction was to laugh - after all, as I mentioned in my previous post on this matter in February, aren't ALL tattoos nightmares? I can readily imagine what's on the show - the tattooer misspelling names, the tattooee misspelling names, a picture of Jimmy Buffet instead of Warren Buffet - this TV show could run for years!
And what's with the article on the front page of this Sunday's Times about tattooing? All curmudgeons know the Times is just a liberal rag, but this really is going too far. Maybe its new motto is "All the news that's fit to ink."
Clearly, if this topic is making it to the front page of the Times, my fears are coming true - tattooing is creeping into the mainstream. But be honest - it still has a horrible reputation -why else did it attract such a complimentary name for one of its signature pieces - "tramp stamp"?
