I mean, I understand that, back in the day, they were a sign of rebellion, individualism, self-expression, and “take that, society!”
…but then, so were blue jeans at one time. And, like blue jeans, everyone has one now. No one blinks at a tattoo (unless they’re all over your face, for example).
On the other hand, I’ve seen some very well done, artistic tats. And you’re not hurting anyone by getting one.
So, getting back to my original statement: I don’t get what tattoos are supposed to be for. If it’s to impressed me, I’m not impressed (although I am impressed by the amount of pain and expense you went to)…if it’s meant to offend, I’m not offended… I don’t like or hate them.
And maybe that’s the point: who cares what I think, you wanted to get a tattoo for your own reasons that are none of my business, so you got one.
And wear long sleeves if you apply for a job. There are still MANY employers who do not want their employees with visible tats. Especially if they interact with the public.

Tbh none of those suit him, or might just be the spot.

Am I the only one who doesn’t “get” tattoos?

Well, maybe I DO get tattoos after all!

Delray was in prison, right? So he must know something about tats.
