When good QBs get bad tats...

    I'm trying to think of something I would do that I would memorialize with a tattoo.

    At a loss.

    Seriously, what is the mindset (beyond being drunk?) Is it supposed to be a picture that you can look at to remember something? Take a picture.

    did he lose a bet on that one?

    The real fun ones are the tats of Chinese or Japanese characters on people who don't speak a word of that language. You just know the tattoo artist put "this guy's a moron" and just told him it meant "honor and courage" or some BS.

    You have to admit- Aaron Murray has a...unique aesthetic viewpoint.

    My dad is a Navy veteran from the Korean Conflict and he's got one on his arm. Whenever I see a tattoo, I think of him at 76 and wonder "would that look good when you're 76?"

    Thank you! I never understood it either, and everybody I've asked about the appeal has never been able to give me an answer I can relate to, so I've resigned myself to saying "to each their own" and moving on. That being said, there are few things less attractive to me on a woman than a bunch of tats. Yes, honey, it's a butterfly. It's symbolic. For you and every other 20-something chick.

    What about dolphins? I don't know what the barbed wire around your arm is supposed to symbolize other than I want to look like a second-rate male porn star who is stuck doing the gang-bang scenes.

    Sounds a lot like the father of my nephew, except he is long out of the picture. Lot of tats, also a lot of drugs. Last I heard is his mother was trying to convince my sister he was in rehab back east, I don't buy it for a second. Guy was a retard in the grandest sense. At Thanksgiving, my dad and I were watching a football game, he comes down the stairs, watches for a few minutes and asks, "The guy with the ball, is that the quarterback?" I think my dad and I laughed him back up the stairs.
    My sister's next boyfriend, who happened to be the guy's best friend, had a bunch of satanic tats on his arms. She had horrible taste in men.

    I can understand some ink, armed forces or not. It's when people go overboard and they have tats on their face or coming up their neck or really weird screwed up sleeves. How do these people work at anything above fast food or the oil rigs? I laugh at people who get the trendy tatoos as well, especially white boys from the burbs who one day go, "You know what would be really cool? a koi fish on my arm!"

    I have none, mostly because I keep changing my idea of what I would get and to me that serves as a warning, that shit is permanent, it will be with me forever. My sister has three, a tribute to my older sister who died when she was 15 on her calf, a giant celtic cross across her lower back, and considering she is very petite, it looks out of place. And my nephew's hand prints across her upper back, that one I actually like.

    I have a few friends where this one would be appropriate

    Companies invested in tattoo removal should be their own Vanguard index. I would put that in my portfolio.It's just a matter of what company makes the least painful, least invasive procedure in the next 30 years. It will be like printing money in 2030.
