I have tattoos and don’t regret any of them. I knew going in that they would be a permanent addition. I think tattoos that say peoples names, or even MOM are lame. Be original.

I have a few tats. I love them. I have a few more planned. I never planned on getting a name tattooed to me, but that was before I had kids. I have all 3 of my daughters’ names on my left shoulder. It maybe boring or lame to some, but it is my way of keeping them close to my heart. My parents have both passed away and my next two will be something that reminds me of them.

I like my girlfriend’s pretty tattoo on her back, but then I see these guys at a restaurant wearing hip-hop clothes, ball caps and arms covered in all sorts of random black tatoos that didn’t even look very cool. Im sorry, but if you are a white guy and wear your pants lower than your buttocks, your ballcap to the side and have tats all over your arms to look tough and gangster when you’re just a little white guy…you’re a dumbass. Sorry, my two cents.

Hell no, I would never have a tramp stamp or a ho mark tattoo—that’s for sluts only… Nice baiting though, gandolf the old pathetic no weiner man.

Tatoos are very useful, it makes it very easy for me to identify a scumbag.

I have enough permanent marks in the form of scars that I don’t need any tattos. And each of those has a much more interesting story.

Disfigurement is not an expression of individuality.

How did you get those scars then LT, you’re certainly wacked enough to enjoy disfiguring yourself?

Don’t tell us those scars are from gettin down with the gangs and runnin dem off your turf.

Scars could indicate a person that gets beat up a lot, that I could believe LT or the person is sicky, something else I could believe and finally a very uncoordinated nerd, yup, that works too.

Tattoo’s can be cool, but I never felt a need for them. I do have laugh lines from reading so many of LT’s rants.

Another pointless column that has nothing to do with the Gwinnett County and issues facing it. Although most of the other columns on here are the same way. Why is this in the Gwinnett section? I hope the AJC isn’t wasting their money by actually paying Woodie and Rick Badie for these writings.

Actually Brucie,

The scars are from fights and surgeries.

Being the candyass that you are, you probably don’t know that even the winner of a street fight gets scars.

Now everyone here knows that you have significant scarring on you knees from your “duties” at the video booths of Inserection.

Yeah Brucie,

I’m sure you were the bravest firefighter to ever pop a Hot Pocket in the microwave.

LT5000 is definitely a nerd. And most of his scars are on his heart, as you can probably tell by reading his desperately angry posts. Keep keepin’ on, little fella! I for one appreciate your (possibly unwarranted) ad hominem attacks on and hatred for fat and/or stupid people. And homeless scumbags. And WIC recipients. And anyone that doesn’t know oneself in an impure manner daily to Bill O’Reilly’s show. So we have a lot in common, no?

Hey Brucie’s boyfriend charliejoe showed up.

Undoubtedly after dressing up in Brucie’s firefighter outfit and having his “hose” drained.

Has Brucie added a new meaning to “fire in the hole” for you?

A tattoo is now, always has been and forever shall be a mark of lower-class breeding. No one who was properly reared in a God-fearing Christian home with decent parents could ever conceive of marking their body in such a way. The Good Lord gave us these beautiful bodies to go forth and do his work, and to mark it with perversion is purely evil. It is an unfortunate sign of the times; liberalism runs rampant. Homosexuals are some of the worst abusers of their bodies in the form of tattoos (not to mention the other sinful abuses in which they partake). If we could eliminate the evil homosexual agenda from our society and free America from the clutches of liberalism and the disgusting democratic ideology that sin should be tolerated, then I would promise that we would see no need for tattoo parlors. Once the homosexuals and homosexual-supporting liberal DEMONcrats were gone, the tattoo artists would be gone and anyone partaking in their services would be gone. Tattoos are evil, disgusting and a vile perversion of your body.

Woody, I have about half my body covered in tattoos at this point in my life. I began when I was a teen, when it was still considered a mark of an immoral, degraded misfit who must be a thief, a liar, or a drug dealer (or drug DOer). Now that tattoos are “hip,” it seems so funny that so many “normal” people are walking around with body art, but if you look closely at what many have tattooed, it alludes to one of the points you make above—it’s called Flash—people go into a shop, pick something off the wall, and get it tattooed then and there. I find it ironic they spend more time shopping for a car than something they’re having etched on their skin. Tattoos began as a tribal ritual to identify someone with a tribe or clan and also served to indicate their status in that society. Then it evolved to what you earlier noted, a symbol of inner spirituality. I thought long and hard, sometimes years, about what I was going to get engraved on my body. Each has a very distinct flavor and meaning for some phase of my life. I guess that is to say, I agree wholeheartedly with all the points you make: Don’t go get a tattoo because you think it’s cool for 5 minute or hip or because you want to fit in or because you want to impress someone. Tattoos are for YOU.

Yes, please ignore Alexis, she is only a voice of reason, sanity, dignity and Christian values. Please ignore Alexis, she only speaks the truth and delivers God’s word to the ignorant DEMONcrats who populate this blog. Please ignore Alexis, she is a horrible, horrible person, what with her love of The Lord, her Republican virtuosity and the values of Christian faith and love. Please just ignore her, it’s best for everyone so that they can continue to live in evil, homosexual tolerant ignorance.

There is a steadfast rule from within the tattoo community regarding the tattooing of names: Blood (parents, siblings, spawn, etc.) is fine, Love (those you bed down with) is a curse. I’ve personally seen the latter manifest many times over. Tattoo a lover and watch the love die. Yes, Woody, as with most things, you truly get what you pay for. NEVER choose from things on the wall and ALWAYS trust the vision of the artist. It is their art until it is on YOUR body.

Tattoos were once considered to be a form of art, and often used to identify those of importance in certain societies. Obesity, in earlier times, was a sign that a person was wealthly.

Times have changed …tatoos are a mark of lower class trash. Being overweight is now a sign of poverty.

Some of our top leaders have tattoos. Are you saying they are lower class trash? If so, what does that say about you, someone who is not a leader? Just curious to know where you get your reasoning.

I find it amusing that many times people assume someone with tattoos is low class. These people are probably racists too who think that all Asians are bad drivers, all African-Americans are drink malt liquor and all Jewish people are cheap. Just as you cannot generalize about a race of people, you cannot generalize people who choose to get tattoos. Woody is right - people who get flash tattoos or don’t think long and hard about them before having them done are definitely stupid and give the rest of us a bad name. However, there are those of us who only have tatoos that mean something to us. I have seventeen tattoos and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon - and they are all meaningful and symbolize something from my life.

And, I can answer why this is in the Gwinnett section! It is because we have one of the finest tattoo artists in the country right here in Norcross! His name is Tom DePriest and he is at Sacred Heart 3 on Indian Trail Rd. He is an incredible artist.

So to any of you people out there who think I am a bad, vile person because I have body art - screw you and the high horse you rode in on!

Scum bag and low class trash has to do with your character and upbringing, not the fact that you have ink on your body.

I have two tats, the first one with the names of my two daughters and my wife who are dear to my heart.

After reading all these comments, I may just want to get a few tat’s. I’m older than most who comment here it seems and have alway donated me bod. Just as I think it be cool to have all my major organs i.d.’ed with a cut here line!!!

There is nothing wrong with tats, it’s the person, not the tat that should make an impression, those who don’t get it are the same people that asks what church you attend.

I never met a person with a tat that wouldn’t help you out when in need, tell me, how many times can you say that about the perfect, tie-wearing WASP next door?

Tattoos are a sinful expression of headonistic lifestyles. Homosexuals are a large purveyor of tattoed flesh. As are drug users and general socially undesirables. I can not imagine any dignified Christian person having a tattoo. It is just vile and disgusting and all of you are no better than the homosexuals who prey on our children. Disgusting!

Lady Alexis - and I use the word “lady” loosely - WHAT STONE are you under. I am a christian - and dignified as you put it. I”m not a drug user or socially undesirable - far from it.

You just further helped the theory of people just like you being the hypocrites that are just overwhelmingly STUPID and close-minded.

As I stated before - you don’t like mine - don’t look. I would hate for your “perfect” god loving eyes to fall out …..

Alexis….the only person that judges is GOD himself. Get off your high horse.

Don’t judge, lest you be judged. If you have so much faith, then respect your neighbor, whatever thier choices and let GOD lead him or her where they are to be. I don’t think GOD appreciates you being condescending. Plus, MANY people get RELIGIOUS markings, dealing with pain in his name or to celebrate his mark upon thier lives.
