Tatts
Ok. I stopped by the pizza place in the mall to get a slice tonight. I had a craving! Ok?
There was this couple sitting a couple of tables away from me and I couldn’t help but notice their affection for the body art. The dad–knuckles, arms, legs, and neck all tatted up. Japanese characters on the neck and oh, lip rings, too. But that is another topic. Guess what the two boys’ haircuts were like. Yep. Mohawks. Classic.
And to top it all off and to celebrate the opening of the new Transformers II movie (I’m not linking to it because I think it is stupid), mom had a transformers mask tattooed on the upper right shoulder. Sweet!
Ok, so our homework for the weekend: Explain the tattoo preferences of Gen X, Gen Y, and the Boomers and how they’re different, and describe your thoughts each groups’ general feelings on using the body as a canvas. I have my own theories but I’m bored with those. I want to hear yours.
