Just saw this.

Does anyone have a tattoo they regret? And why?

Many of people have tatts who have never been to prison and most likely never will.  The fact the some prisoners have tatts does not indicate anything.

Roughly 50%  of prison inmantes have "tatts", which might be indicative of tatooees!.

By your own figure, roughly 50% of prison inmates dont have tatts. Whats that indicative of??

[cherry*135]

Nothing  or maybe that inmantes are a special breed?

People memorialize their lost loved ones in a hundred different ways and I think  it is entirely individual to each person.  

I now am seriously thinking of geting  two small paws done in memory of my 2 beloved fur babies   who passed last year and are still so close to my heart.  .  I think that would have a lot of meaning for me.

True AM, but as the percentage of tatooees who are not incarcerated  are around 10%, it might be assumed that those who are are not so "bright" and graffitied,  end up "inside"

tattooing has been around for centuries among many different cultures, what can we "assume" from this.

Tattoos = prisoners or armed forces serviceman is a very old attitude from around the1960's. It's 2014 now. If I see a man or woman with a tattoo out & about, I am not going to automatically think..ah.. ex prisoner.

Yeah, boris, tribal tattoos.. both men & women.

Tattoos are now mainstream...I think anyone who wants one just gets one, but of course, they do have a meaning as a way of bonding or showing an affiliation and have for a long time.

Sarah Murdoch has tattoos, for example 🙂

This is an example of a recent body-modification trend. This is not a fake leg, as it may seem at first glance. This was actually done to her own leg. Is it as painful as it looks? Yes. Although, it may not be what you think.

 Some of them are not at all pretty
