Former congressman Allen West (R., Fla.) is making a statement on the right to bear arms on his right bare arm with a new tattoo. Aces High Tattoo Shop in West Palm Beach, Fla. showed off the former Republican’s ink on its Instagram account over the weekend.

Most of the people who have multiple tattoos all over their body are idiots who are following the latest fad.
Marine Officer and current Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter has tats on both arms.
Barry Goldwater and Teddy Roosevelt had ‘em too...
Having a preference... that’s fine. Everyone is entitled to their own tastes.
But this level of crap being spewed...
And I know very well that this man doesn’t know my husband from Adam... and I’m still enraged that anyone would dare speak about this wonderful man in such a way. His tattoos haven’t taken one thing away from his life. He likes them. They make him happy. Then I’m happy.
I like it!
Well said.
And yeah, this is pretty much what the above posters in question do on a lot of threads like these.
I wonder if Ike had a tat?
Winston Churchill supposedly had an anchor tattooed on a forearm. James Polk and Andrew Jackson too...
Scumbags following a fad. All of them... /P-Marlow
My father, who was career Navy, never had a tattoo. I’m with him on the subject.
If God wanted us to have pierced ears, we would have been born with holes in our ears. :)
It's what happens when you combine:
1) Someone with not enough to worry about
2) Who mistakenly thinks everyone values their opinion(s)
3) And who has Internet access.
The popular term in the Internet age is a "troll".
My father was a Marine Corps fighter pilot. He never got a tattoo. I don’t think he ever got drunk either. I think there is a correlation there.
My son has a tat that says, “Type 1 diabetic” and my nephew just got one that says the same thing with a sparrow. My daughter has a series of ribbons for the diseases that have hurt all of her family members.
The one’s that break my heart are the ‘meat tags’ - a tat of dog tags high up on the ribs (under the arm) with the soldier’s name, DOB and blood type for body identification when they deploy. I’ve been told that it’s a strange comfort, knowing that you WILL be found and you WILL be sent back to your family - even if it’s in pieces.
Since the war began, many of the wives that I know have had their husband’s name tatted when he deploys. Just trying to keep him close.
It’s possible, if only from anecdotal evidence.

If I recall, that referred to tattooing "pagan" signs on ones body, but I might be wrong.......
Leviticus 19:27
"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard"
I hope ya got a beard bro.........
There definitely will be another purge if West should ever run for president. It's best to be a member of whatever collective is in control if you want to remain active on this site........
Tats, motorcycle.....
Next thing you know you will be telling us he also has a pit bull!
(sorry, could not resist)
Bible also says don’t eat pork although not in those words.
I confess, I love a good barbeque!
One could also make the argument that your own obsession with Col. West's personal choices is a sickness and unhealthy.........LOL!
I'm tired of people following the leads of others, getting tattoos, because "they're cool".
Unless they are "military" tats, I find people who get them, weak minded and easily led around.
DITTO THAT
