Inked

Isn't odd how once your mind is preoccupied with a certain idea that it keeps popping up in your daily life?

I've taken more notice of tattoos because of Noah in CBG and I'm surprised just how prevalent they are. The thing that has struck me most is there is no longer a "type" of guy who has them. The guy running shirtless--thanks for the view. The yuppie-ish dad pushing his toddler daughter in a stroller during a grocery store run. A lot of the patterns peeking out from shirtsleeves seem to be the result of the nineties barbed-wire armband craze. I wonder if they regret commiting something that's so prevalent now that it's no longer "cool".

It's funny how fashion and styles evolve in that the projected image changes. When I was growing up, tatoos were a rite of rebellion, now it's body art.
