DAMN! Dude you are preaching to the choir right here!
There was a time I spent quite a bit of cash in official NFL jerseys. What a foolish thing to try and identify with. Ought to live based on my own merit.
Pool jersey's, love 'em or hate 'em..??

You just exposed your lack of iq Thinking tattoo’s mean someone is unintelligent .
I heard one had "Strawberries and Pigs," or some such.
Hallelujah and lay your hand upon the radio! I get a kick out of you Rusty.
I’ll never trust a guy who has a handshake without callouses.
Funny thing aboot the tattoos. There was a time I really wanted one. I remember my best friend got one at some house party and acted like he got a deal on it; when the dude was prolly stoned or drunk. That is fine but not when I’m paying you to place a permanent picture on my body.
Anyway, I would have probably gotten a Guns’N’F’N’Roses tattoo across my stomach and it would be all distended and shit now.

Some people aren't comfortable in their own skin. Usually the ones who want to give you advice, tell you about what their tattoo means, who their artist is bala bala balaFunny thing is I don’t give a rats ass what people think of my tattoos, none of them have any real meaning to me either lol.
They are just a form of art I enjoy-I always have. I don’t act differently because I have them, I’m not crafting an image trying to look like something I’m not. That’s all way too deep for me. They are just art, nothing more or less.
Never understood why some ppl get so emotional about a little ink. I’m the same guy I was before I had tattoos, I got my first one 30 years ago.
If a person whose personality changes because they got tatted up, that person needs a shrink with a full season package of tickets to get their head screwed in properly.

Same can be said for those with GAS (Gear aquisition syndrome) - think a magic shaft is going to change their game, that they can see which piece of the puzzle you need in your game etc
Same can be said of so many types of people haha
Sad thing is in modern life, no one is comfortable being themselves and most need to spend hours telling you all about who, what, where, why they are the way they are just to add something to their otherwise pointless existence
Working in a foreign country, I see this play out on steroids when surrounded by expats
Why I spend a lot of time playing with headphones in
My mother would roll over in her grave knowing I got some Tramp Stamps after she passed.Funny thing is I don’t give a rats ass what people think of my tattoos, none of them have any real meaning to me either lol.

A very judgemental woman, tattoos were for the lower classes in her opinion.
I treasure the one of my wife's face. Dude did an incredible job w it.
The others, just conversation pieces more than anything. Expensive ones at that. Not trying to make a statement or have an agenda, my inks are things I like that are personal to me.
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

My mom didn’t have an issue with my tattoos. My dad had all the WW2 ink on both arms and one hand. She married him, so I’d guess that wasn’t a deal breaker 20 years before I showed up, she was cool with it.
To me tattoos are just normal, maybe because I’ve been around them my entire life. They certainly didn’t define my dad. He never spoke of the war or his tattoos. My uncle was also in WW2 and had zero tattoos. I asked him why not? He said they weren’t for him. I respect that as well
I’ve never judged anyone for lack of tattoos or having tattoos. I suppose you could question one’s judgment if you hate them and the other person is covered. But imo that’s a very weak and superficial way to judge the content of a persons character. There are better ways to get better reads on someone.
For those who use tattoos to create an image or a gang advertisement then yes there can be a bit of a read there as the tattoos are billboards for something deeper.
My ink has zero meaning and aren’t an advert for anything, it’s pretty clear when you see them it’s just pictures. I didn’t give it much thought. And after decades of having them they kinda fade away from thinking about them. I haven’t got any work done since 2017 +/- a year. Took about 25 years to get what I have, I never rushed into them.

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.
