The only time tattoo's would look cool is if you had them done when you were old and senile and had something like monkeys tattoed on your varicose veins so it apprears like the monkeys are climbing up a vine.

Dude, did you not read the posts about apostrophes? Frikken twat.

.... is if you spelled it "tattoos".
Here's some help for you, Monkey Man:
The apostrophe has three uses:
1) to form possessives of nouns
2) to show the omission of letters
3) to indicate certain plurals of lowercase letters.
Apostrophes are NOT used for possessive pronouns or for noun plurals (such as "tattoos", including acronyms.
I find these comments funny because a lot of coaches have Tattoos.
I hate it when people get those Chinese symbols and barbed wire and stuff, but I do have a tattoo. It's a Scottish cross, with the motto of my clan in Gaelic beneath it. I'm American of Scottish descent, so I think its appropriate, and I don't think I look like white trash.
It all depends on what you have, if you have your girlfriends name written on your back around a heart with barbed wire, you are white trash, but there can be cool tattoos I think.

OK, your tattoo... probably not.
But ass antlers and arm bands, definitely low end.
The motto of your clan?!?!?! Give me a break.
I have alot of tattoos, so when I hear people saying they are for ignornant trailer trash I'm a little offended. But at the same time, I understand why that stereotype exists.
Actually, I have a Masters degree, so I'm not uneducated. I just like tattoos. It's a vice, I suppose. It's an addiction. But I do like getting something original when I go to get "inked". I'm not a big fan of tribal art, chinese symbols, etc. I've got some weird, random stuff covering my arms (birds, planets, bioluminescent deep sea life, the virgin mary, a dude I designed that looks like some kind of extraterrestrial superhero, etc). Just ideas that pop into my head that I think would make interesting body art. It's for fun.
But tattoos are becoming quite common and it's not exactly unique, which is the only thing I don't like about having them. It looks like I'm trying to be original and unique, but I'm doing something that has become quite common and mainstream. Granted, I don't know too many other people who have tattoos like mine.

Which is it - "don't overcook the haggis" or "you say stingy, I say thrifty"?

From your own words, apparently it doesn't only look that way.
Older I get, more I feel that most who have something original and unique to offer don't generally work too hard projecting their unique originality through tattoos, goofy haircuts, etc. Same time, it's your body, no inky skin off my back.
Women with tats look trashy. Too bad they think it enhances their appearance when most men think it just makes them look like white trash.
Funny thing is, that when they get older, they will realize that getting a tat was the dumbest thing they ever did and do all they can to hide it.
I think I'll get a Nike Swoosh tattooed on side of each one of my feet.
Maybe Phil K will give me some bucks.
Fat and grumpy I suspect. Goes with the old age thing I suspect.

I see what you're saying, and you're right. I'm not going to try and deny the fact that part of the appeal of getting a tattoo is the illusion that you are doing something unique. I'm not under the delusion that my being tattoed sets me apart or makes me a daredevil. But, I do try to at least come up with original design ideas that I'm not going to wind up seeing on every other person I come in contact with who has a tattoo. Tattoos have become quite commonplace, but I think they can still be interesting and unique if you want them to be.
word brother. well put.

I hate it when certain Americans can't just be American; they have to be Scottish-American....or some other poser label.
Dude, you are not even close to being Scottish....you phony.
You aren't Scottish, your parents aren't Scottish....maybe MAYBE your grandparents are Scottish.
You are American; why are you so ashamed of that?
In defense of the Scottish dude, he said he was American, just had Scottish ancestry.
But, why do we have to identify ourselves with any type of heritage, aren’t we all just people of the world? Why don’t we just call ourselves worldian. Why are we so ashamed of that?
Anyways, I too hate Chine’s symbols, tribal bands, and stars, or sayings in other languages that they don’t even know, which is seems everyone has. Unfortunately getting a tattoo doesn’t make you anymore unique. I think not getting a tattoo makes you more original by a long shot. However, I have tattoos, and I like mine. I want more. If I could, I’d get a sleeve of tattoos, but by the time I get old it would look f***ed up. However, the only time you can see mine are if imp not wearing a shirt, which is usually while I’m running. And I don’t feel like white trash either. Probably because (from my biased opinion) I don’t have any bullshit tattoos. And I don’t feel uneducated (dispite me lack ov gramr skilz). Its too bad straying from the norm (well, tattoos really aren’t straying from the norm anymore, seems like every soccer mom has some Chine’s calligraphy) earns some stereotype.

When you are working on your Ph.D., use "a lot" instead of "alot," which is not a word.
Not getting a tattoo is far more rebellious these days than getting a tattoo.
