Tattoos hurt, 99.99% of them look stupid, and they all turn blue after a year. You end up looking like a bad mimeograph copy of a 7 year old's schoolbook scrawls.

Otherwise, there are exactly three tattoos I've seen that are really cool.

  1. Bong's native Samoan sworls on his upper arms. The real deal.

  2. Our local lifeguard's tattoos of swallows flying cross his back and arms, they were done in Japan by a master grand-artist and they look totally realistic.

  3. Another lifeguard I met had little footprints, like the Hang Ten ones, that circle his arm. It was really interesting graphically and kind of funny, exactly the effect the guy wanted.

Oh, did I add that they're generally a waste of good cash?
