OK, how about you get old and I get something. I can live with that deal.

Personally I like some of the more artistic tattoos, especially on nubile young women. The more aggressive, think of the Maori markings, are fantastically intimidating on a well built body.
Considered as art then some of them really do qualify, as with all art there are plenty of lousy examples as well.
As with 99% of nudity in only looks good on the young and healthy/beautiful.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Tattoos can be a nice thing, if made by someone who knows what they're doing. Else you're effed.

Side tracking a little (inspired by the headline only):
I was going to have another T-shirt made. The problem is finding a sufficiently terse wording to fit on a T-shirt. The best I have come up with yet is
Getting old
is better than
getting cool
So, do you have suggestions for improvements? Should it rather be "Being old is better than being cool"? "Being old beats being cool"?
From a terseness point of view, the classical 'Getting old is better than not to', but I consider it worn out. Besides, I like double meanings and puns.

Getting old is better than being a hipster...
Also "Old age is no country for weaklings.. they don't ever last that long
Age, Experience and Low Cunning will overcome youth and talent every time...

Either, these two do not contain any of the punning that I am so fond of, or I am not getting it.
The texts are OK by themselves, though. It is just me enjoying double meanings and references that are not immediately obvious, and you have to think a litte to get it.
(The shirt I wore yesterday had the text on the back: 'Electrical cars need no distributor (Niklas)'. The front was Norwegian, untranslatable: 'Elektriske biler har ingen fordeler' - 'fordeler' can mean both 'advantages' and 'distributor', with sligthly different pronounciations.)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I agree. It is part of the "Look at me!" syndrome, which explains the success of Facebook as well.
Personally, I believe that I was born with all of the holes in my skin that my body needs.
The tattoo fad is a clear cut example of the old saying "Just because you CAN, does not mean that you SHOULD."
This also applies to anyone thinking of creating a new computer language....

So I'm nearly 2 hours late with the news
...Wade Frankum shot up Strathfield Plaza with an AK-47.
I said 'Yeah why not' and next thing you know I'm married.

I'll celebrate it even when I'm not "trying to take a sh!t".

Congratulations!!
The next 25 will take about half the time and after that you just forget them. I've been through it all - it's my 54th, I think, at the end of the month. No doubt Her Indoors will remind me in plenty of time to surprise her with something she doesn't want.
