Keeping with the Times

Forget 80: Supposing that becomes the logo for some ultra homophobic far-right group? It was bad enough for the Buddhists when the Nazis commandeered the Swastika.

I'm one of those people who no one saw seeing 25 and that included me. I'm more than half way to 80 now and a tattoo, or anyone offended by it, isn't going to be the end of me.

The funny thing is though-keeping with the times-is I'd get more outrage over the Lovecraft name(he was racist after all...like everyone else not born after 2000) than the fact its a Satanic symbol.

Anybody who's hoping to get by on their looks at 80 probably has bigger things to worry about than tattoos.

Truth
But I'll say this....if I can still walk around shirtless at 80 for people to see this, then I did okay for myself. Unless of course its because I ran out of the home naked again, and hey, that can be great too.

That is the one, and only reason I never got a tat. I'm not who I was yesterday, and I won't be what I am today, tomorrow. Transience is the only unchanging aspect of my life.

That's true, but I was also suggesting that life itself is transient Once your body passes, so does the tattoo. I think even bodies that are embalmed are down to the bones in cases where the grave is opened again after a few decades. I'm not sure whether that is a reason to not get a tattoo. But I think most people (under about the age of about sixty or so) have only a vague idea of their own mortality.

The bigger thing is whether you'll even be alive or not. I've known a number of people who didn't even get close to the age.

I'm going to be cremated, hoping the ink makes the stink even worse.

No tats, not for me, that's not kosher, BIG TIME!

It's also haram, of course.

I've always thought that the Muslim/Jewish "no tattoo" rule was hypocritical, given that they enforce "improving God's creation" through male circumcision.

Some people have posted here that they do it as a Note To Self (my friend did this, put some cryptic message on his arm to help him from relapsing into a bad habit).

I do this too, all the time, but with a pen and a personal diary. I also keep mementoes of my loved ones on my shelf.

I don't think I was clear in what I said about transience. Let me put it this way:

If I were to get a tattoo, it would say "I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RETRACT THIS TATTOO AT ANY TIME." This reservation of the right to change, for me, is probably (BUT NOT PERMANENTLY) one of the constants in my life.

My son has an ex-girlfriend's name tattooed on his hand. What a schmuck.

My daughter's fiancée is tattooed, and until recently, was unable to join the police force, because it was considered too obvious an identification. They relaxed the rules, and she's now a tattooed police officer.
 
My grandparents had tattoo's on their forearms. Those weren't such nice tattoos that anyone would want them. Just a series of numbers, you know, the way they kept track of them in their government-furnished home back in the good days in Germany in the early 1940s. Yeah, I don't want any tattoos, kosher or not. But, alts iz gut, tsu yedn zeyn, translation, It is all good, to each his own.

I don't know anything about modern mortuaries; I think they confine the smoke somehow. I could research it, but some other time. I'll be cremated too, and probably have my ashes scattered in the Hudson River (not the Harlem!)

They didn't just provide housing, but work too, assuming one could pass through the recruitment program.

As late as the 1980's I saw older people with such tattoos. Since those had been applied when those people were basically children, the tattoo may have expanded as their skin grew too.They usually didn't try to hide them, but I never spoke to anyone about their experience with such markings.

I was born in 74, and my grandmother explained the work/housing/and final solution program to me in the late 70s. I've never forgotten the stories she told. But enough about sadness. Let us rejoice in life.
