When good QBs get bad tats...

[TigerVols]

...today's edition: Uga QB Aaron Murray, who apparently thought getting a penis between his shoulder blades was a good idea.

Yep, my homestate's not immune:

I will never understand why anyone would do that to themselves.

Special forces tattoos or military tattoos I get, there are a few other things that I can understand, but 99 percent of tattoos, my first response is why would you do that to yourself?

This guy has no idea what you're talking about ...

I'll probably get a small one if I ever run Boston or complete an Ironman, and that's about it.

The crazy part is a lot of guys who have tattoos, and women, too, have incredible physiques. I'd be showing that off, not hiding it under ink. My best friend's brother has this enormous colored tattoo of some sort of scary clown that covers basically his entire chest. I guess some girls are attracted to the bad boy aspect of it - although he's about as far from a bad boy as it gets - but that would pretty much sap any motivation I'd have to stay in shape for the rest of my life. What's the point? Your best parts are now covered up anyway.

Drunk?

My wife's little sister - she's 21 - just had a baby. The daddy is an ex/current boyfriend who is a ****ing scumbag, to say the least.
He's covered in tattoos. Not good ones either. They look like ****ty white trash/jail tats. He has his handprint on his abdomen. He tattooed the letters K-N-U-C on his right knuckles and, sure enough, K-L-E-S on his left. He has a penis with wings on it that says "No Homo" on the shaft. Oh, and he got his nose pierced - like a ****ing bull, not to mention those stupid hole earrings that make you look like the tribesmen in National Geographic.
I'm surprised my father in law hasn't kicked his ass. I told him if some punk impregnated my daughter and came over with that nose ring, I'd rip it out of his face.
The military and special forces ones are nice, but those can go bad as well. My buddy was drunk serving overseas and got a tramp stamp. He's not especially proud of it.
I hate tattoos. My wife has one - tramp stamp butterfly - and I make fun of her for it often. People get them and think they look great, not realizing they'll look like horse**** in when they're 55 years old. Or for women, pregnant - my aforementioned sister-in-law got a hummingbird tattooed on her right side of her stomach when she was 19. We called it a vulture the last few months.
Worse are celebrity tattoos, as in normal people who get a tribute to a celebrity/team tatted on them.

I caught a glimpse of an older lady who, at one time, was stacked. She wore a low-cut shirt and the rose tattoo, which was quite unattractively wilted at that phase in her life.

It was quite the train wreck. Yes, that tattoo was still drawing attention to her breasts, but man, not in a good way.

Edit: Holy crap, Rhody, I think your father-in-law ought to have a talk with his daughter. Hopefully the new mom smartens up, but she's the one who slept with the scumbag. It's not like he was hiding his idiocy.

I had a bartender a while back who had a tramp stamp in the form of the Chevy bowtie on her lower back. I can only hope her stripper name was Camero.

I've always been pretty set that almost all tattoos are hideous and I would never get one, but there is one personal achievement I've been working toward that I wouldn't mind memorializing with a small one if I ever achieve it. But still probably not.

 

[YGBFKM]

Nobody cares.

 

[jr/shotglass]

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.

I have a bunch of T-shirts.

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.

Actually, every car Chevy has ever made would be a good stripper name...

Silverado
Corvette
Chevette
Colorado
Impala
Caprice Classic

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

 

[qtlaw]

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.
