I happen to believe that what I wear should be age and physique appropriate. I'm too old and too fat for those jerseys. And I don't like seeing/watching people in them who obviously don't belong in them either. It is too much of a distraction for me.

As far as the tattoos, I think that is an age thing. Growing up, tattoos were for WWII veterans, bikers, convicts, some Pacific Islanders, and circus performers. I will never unsee it that way. But I understand that times change and tattoos no longer really have any meaning whatsoever, other than you obviously have way too much money for your own good.

I dress to match my age

As far as tattoos having meaning, why should they? Does all art have to have meaning? Can’t they just be a form of art and nothing more?

WTF does $ have to do with tattoos? Thats the dumbest shit I have heard in a long time, no offense but seriously? What does that mean. I say stupid things all the time and when I do I hope there’s someone there to correct me so I can learn-so don’t get insulted.

i think what happened was those ink reality shows came along and every featured customer had to have a sob story. pretty much the case for most reality shows now. either way, every customer had an elaborate story behind their tat, like my uncle once farted into a lighter and he recently died so i want a dragon shooting fire

as a swede i appreciate your viking tattoo though. tungur knivur..

I agree with Fatboy on the tattoo topic.

Sure you might want your first few to have a deep meaning, but trust me, the more you get the less picky you end up being.

I'm actually in the "jersey" camp... I'm all for having players look like "players" and not someone who tossed on the best smelling pile found on their floor before hunting for change to pay the bus driver. That said, I do prefer the more reserved options rather than noisy crap some vendors push to the masses.

I bought a couple of "jerseys" before the Open last year. I wanted to at least somewhat look like a belonged before someone saw me strike a ball...lol

I do wear them otherwise, if I'm going out of town to play in something. I have a couple of people that make a habit of making my pool expenses more manageable. In return I footed the bill to advertise them on my jerseys. Makes me feel special...lol

These aren’t the jersey’s we are talking about.. these aren’t over the top lol. I would wear them out on a golf course .

After about the 20th tattoo you don’t even care…..it’s just art. Looks cool. It’s fun to watch the collection grow.

Only the rookies are sweating

Couldnt agree more. I get out of the chair and make my next appointment as soon as the previous one is done. I have about 5 months to come up with something lol.

Are tattoos not expensive, especially for younger folk?

Believe it or not, they used to have meaning. They meant you were a WWII vet, a biker, an ex-con, a Pacific Islander, or a circus performer.

You are right, they are meaningless now. So what is the point to covering yourself in them? I just don't get it and probably never will.

Not really, nobody thinks about the price of a tattoo. It’s like thinking about the price of plastic surgery. Nobody’s looking for a discount doctor.

I have a friend I’ve known 30 years. Has a table in his shop. I’ve spent many many nights there playing pool, not getting tattooed. I’ve seen people from all walks of life getting ink. Some get scared and leave, some puke half way through it, others fall asleep (that would be me). Point being is I’ve seen a lot. $ isn’t ever a factor
