"Tattoos"

An interesting thought...

Tattoos are fairly recent as far as time goes, you'd have to argue that they've only been around for one or two generations.

This had me wondering; what happens when all those with tattoos get old? I'm talking proper OAPs here. Because they didn't have tattoos when they were young, there are very, very few old people that have tattoos, but when the current generation(s) get old...

How funky is that going to look? That fat ol' dragon isn't going to look very cool when your skin's falling off your bones.

Just a thought, mind.

I refuse to get old and wrinkly :)

:D

It's like teenagers discovered them in the 50s!

Yeah, if you count a "one or two generations" spanning over five thousand years.

:( It`s hidden anyway .

Look at it this way when your old no one is going to want to see your wrinkly body so it won't matter.

Okay now i`m worried :(

Think i`ll just stick to the one.

Recycled as in mashed up, well, part recycled anyway.

What I said then.

Excuse me, tattoos two generations old?

Tribes hundreds of years ago had them and sailors have had 'em for centuries

If you mean 'widespread' use of tattoos, that's recent

Tattoos look VERY strange on OAPs, to answer your question

Sorry, 'Recycled Teenagers', as the OAPs liked to be called ;)

Ah, good point :-p

I meant the multiple needles, which are blatently not lasers.

Apologies.
