Tattoos?
Your thoughts please . The current generation seems to be inked from stem to stern. Growing up ,I am 68,they were highly frowned upon in my rural eastern slice of NC. The only people seen with them were ex service men usually navy vets for some reason and carnival workers.So comments please what does the group think?

I have three - a dot on the left side - a dot on the right side and a dot over the location of the prostate gland - used by three laser beams to position me in exactly the same position each time for 45 days of radiation for prostate cancer. Over 18 months now and PSA is good to go. Unfortunately Blue Cross / Blue Shield insurance stinks and doesn't cover the meds needed now for proper emptying of the bladder.
If you have the same misfortune - do NOT even consider the implanting of radioactive 'seeds' in the prostate - didn't work for my father or my 32-nd degree brother that was the owner of Dixie Slugs in Old Town,Florida.

Guess I was fortunate enough, for it to work on me. When I was 38, I got prostate cancer for the first time. The seeds worked pretty good. When it came back , when I was 51, I had to have part of my prostate removed. I had it done at the Penn Cancer center in Philadelphia. The worst experience in my life. Painful and being that it is teaching center. I had students in there when I was undergoing all my test and procedures. They made me get undressed, filled my bladder with a gallon of water, then x-rayed me while I urinated. They asked me if there was anything to make me more comfortable. I told them heck yeah, All of you take off your clothes!!! They got a big laugh out of that.
Steve, sorry you are going through this my friend. I know how much it hurts and makes you sick. It gets better. I will keep you in my daily prayers. If there is anything I can do for you, let me know. I am also available to talk to on the phone, Just pm me for my number. John

I turkey hunted with a guy who said when his wife dies he's going to have her skinned. He said he has her $50,000 in her tattoos. Met her and her "showing" skin had no ink. We got into a conversation and she admitted the "non-showing" skin was full of ink!

Great portrait of you Allen! I like the gauging, but I am not sure the trans thing is going to play that well here...

My children are Tat free.... When they were high school age, many of their friends were getting their first tattoos and their parents were even paying for them. One of ours was very interested in getting one at that time...
I sat them both down and told them out of respect for their mother and I, there would be no piercings or tattoos while they lived under my roof. This included the time it took them to earn their undergrad degrees as I their mother and I would be paying for their undergrad educations.
They are in their 30's now.. No Tats, no piercing. Both have thanked me for the restrictions when they were young and have no interest in either now..
