Being a woman of 53 and facing the sags, the invisibility, the hot flashes, etc etc, it is nice to know I am NOT alone. hiay, thanks for dropping by :)

I bet I would have rather enjoyed the skull with fangs (if you see my artwork you'll perhaps understand why lol!). To me it is just another form of body art with an ancient history, some of it is horrid, some wierd, and some quite amazing.

But some do have meanings worth knowing. I was visiting a friend, we were talking by her van and a gentleman comes up asking for directions, new in the area, I think was looking for work. Well dressed, polite, had an accent. Her husband came out of the store a few minutes later, said hello, joined the conversation. Couple minutes later he was we've got to go now. We left. driving away he told us the guy had something that peeking through which meant he was Russian maffia. (He was in law enforcement.) when I worked census 2000 we got many complaints about one of my team members. She had a tatoo on her arm which wasn't completely covered. Too hot for long sleeves. Sweetest lady you'd ever meet, but others didn't trust her because she had a tatoo. Each individual's choice, I think some do it for shock effect, to watch the reactions of others, to get attention.

Please don't get me started on the piercings that they have on their bodies also. And to think all I did at that age was to remove my bra. (But I never burned it.)

Is it an accessory? Or art? Or protest slogan? Or mistake? Or the icon of some rock group you and I never heard of? Whichever, the circumstances of being dependent on the side of the road surely added to the tension. I'm glad it all turned out cool.

Some gang members are known to have teardrops tatooed on their bodies to depict the number of people they've shot or killed. Now if you see someone like that, just try to fix the flat tire yourself!
