Autographs for adults.Unless something has specific sentimental value (a Marquette fan getting Butch Lee to sign '77 FF program, for instance), I don't really get it.Kids are a different story, of course.
My old fashioned feelings on tattoos:Not everyone with one is on Death Row.But pretty much everyone on Death Row has one.No thanks.
My thoughts on tattoos:I am fascinated by tattoos as an art form, and really like quality tattoos. Ink Master is a guilty pleasure.I'm virtually certain that I'd never get one.I'd prefer if my kids didn't get them.Quite of few of my nieces and nephews have them. Several are heavily tatted and some of them are really good.
My daughter will be in for a surprise.
Sometimes I think my kids are goofs, but not in this regard.Awhile back (I think Chick jr. was in middle school), the subject of tattoos came up, and I said to her, "The problem with tattoos is that the things you think are cool at the time you get one might not seem so cool later. If you had gotten a tattoo when you were 3 years old, you'd have a permanent picture of Barney the Dinosaur on your body."She said, "Good point", and to this day is tat-free.
My wife has a tattoo reading "Cura Personalis" and it's something that means a lot to her...
As I said up thread, I'm pretty sure I'll never get one. But, if I did, it probably would be along these lines. Just a few weeks ago my brother and I were talking, "If you did get one, what would you get?" My answer was either the first letter of my kids' names or "AMDG" (which, coincidentally, is actually only one letter off my kids' initials...should have named my first daughter something different).
All I can think about with the tattoos is what is it going to look like when you are 70 or 80? What picture would I possibly want to be permanently branded with for 60 years?I don't like tattoos at all, but unless you are my wife or kid you should care roughly 0% about that.
Implying that someone is going on some unspecified 'list'.
Oh, now you've crossed a line, you're going on my list.
I always told my kids that the day any of them got a tattoo or a piercing in a place other than an ear, it was time to move out of the house. My two sons and a daughter made it through without having to move out....And ear gauges. I don't get it.
