Same goes for sculptures.
Thanks Innovative.
“But those tats stay with you for thousands of years.”
It used to be you just had to worry about getting fat, now you have to worry about dessication, too.
Note the obligatory dung beetle at the bottom.
I think the tattoo fad will die down when the young start to see what those tats look like on Grandma.
A tramp stamp on a fat gramma butt... hmmmmm Could be a new men’s magazine hit!
Yeah, but she would have still looked 30-34 years when she died. She wouldn’t have looked old.
Thus her dolphin tattoo would not yet have morphed into a killer whale. And her mermaid tattoo wouldn’t yet be smeared across sagging skin.
The moral of this story is that if you get a tattoo you should live in a time when you die young.

No, the ancient skin and tattoos that would have looked good at her time of death has weathered, changed, and mummified over the thousands of years. After 3000 years they won’t look like they are only a dozen to score of years old. The materials and techniques of tattooing in ancient times was much different, not at all like today and not as durable.
Many of us have tattoos; each for their own reasons good or bad. It is our business, not anyone else’s.
I’m 68, have one tattoo. It has my name, my wife’s name, 1972, the year we were married and in the middle a Marine Corps EGA because we were both Marines. I eventually was commissioned and retired as an officer, and yes, officers also have tattoos.
Better get used to it. Tattoos have become very common and you’ll find a lot of people in all areas of business and commerce who have them. Many have their older tattoos refreshed and touched up over the years.
It’s a personal decision for most and yes when you get a stupid one in a stupid place you may regret it but that is part of life. Move on from your mistakes and you can’t worry about what you can’t change.
Those who disparage tattoos and the people who wear them need to mind their own business.
