I was talking to one of my few tattoo-less friends the other day (age 26) and she noted that not having a tattoo was almost an act of social transgression these days. She mentioned a friend who had his last name (Martinez) spelled out on his arm in kana characters. It made me think of an old joke about someone who has some Chinese proverb tattooed on his chest only to find out that it really said "beef with broccoli." I have another friend (age 40) who has an extremely graphic sexual image on his shoulder. His bosses require him to keep it covered at work and if you saw it you'd know why. A quick Google maps search found 13 tattoo parlors within roughly a mile of my house. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
