So what do my tattoos say about me? Some likely don't even need to see them in order to pass judgment, as they have already made the general comments. Some might say more/less if they were to see them. But if THE tattoo itself says something about someone - then tell me about me?
And don't pat yourself on the back, 'ol Bobby, this isn't directed solely at you.
My friend and his dad have GIANT tattoos all over.
My bud has (last I checked) a big one on his back, and one on his shoulder.
His father has full sleeves, and I'm not sure about anything else.
Now my friend, he's a little cocky SOB. Wrestler. His dad on the other hand, is the most calm and collected guy I've ever met, and he know's everything about anything mechanical/civil. Owns his own pool company, (puts them in). And last I saw him his motorcycle was completely ripped apart due to him upgrading it a little.
After I met my friends dad, I stopped judging people by tattoos. (Gauges on the other hand.... And face tattoos... freaky weird)
