    It’s time that the tattoo (and piercing) fad disappeared. To quote The Simpsons, “how rebellious – in a conformist sort of way” (in reference to male ear-piercing). It’s time the young realize that giving in to stupid stuff like this just shows they are anything but rebellious.

    Neighbor Bob is getting a decidedly more tough guy/biker dude/don’t tread on me/hitman look, which he probably needs, living next to Rat. Earlier Neighbor Bobs all looked like such easy targets! But the leaping dolphin (I cannot read what seems to be a line of text above it: a name or motto?) is not so tough -looking.Maybe this all-new, meaner Neighbor Bob should just cold-cock Rat for once….

    Hard to believe someone would get a dolphin tattoo on porpoise.

    Don’t count too heavily on that piercing closing up. I too have a piercing that is now 30 plus years old. Due to a ex-love interest’s aversion to men with an earring, I got out of the habit of wearing one, but about twice a year (St. Pat’s and Christmas) I wear one and the hole is still there.

    Agreed! Too often the tatts are just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

    It looks to me like the Miami Dolphins Logo, no doubt altered so that Mr. P wouldn’t bring on the wrath of the NFL . ( I don’t really see any other team quaking in their boots about the Dolphins)

    I used to want a tattoo but then I started giving blood and found out I wouldn’t be able to donate for a year if I had one.xxx

    Neighbor Bob’s looking a lot scruffier than he used to.

    Tattoos are no longer cool, now that grandmothers are getting them.

    a tattoo of Tattoo may be just the symbol i’ve been looking for! i have stayed tattoo free thus far in life, although i’ve always toyed with getting a small bookworm. Tattoo— that heroic symbol for small people everywhere. thank you

    Why is neighbor Bob facing the other direction (from Rat) in the last panel?

    Rat’s last line out of context would make for a decent meme.

    Why do people even GET tattoos?! You can’t ever remove them, and as you wrinkle, so will they! Total waste of money and pain!
