Facial Tattoos

I don't mind tattoos. I like them, in fact. Well, most of them. I like the ones that are done nicely. The ones that have meaning. Some 18 year old with a star on her forearm is not pretty, hot, sexy or anything else, except lame. But, there is something worse than an 18 year old with a lame tattoo.

The face tattoo. A face tattoo doesn't need to be of a face. No it is a tattoo on the face, or near the face, like the neck! Look, your face is not some place where you should get a tattoo. Okay, maybe Mike Tyson, but no one else.

The worst face tattoo, however, is the teardrop. Yes, that little teardrop. In some cultures, like ours, it means you whacked someone. Whacked as in killed. Killed as in murdered. Murdered as in wrongfully took the life of another person. And there you are, walking around with a teardrop on your face.

Sure, you haven't killed someone. You just thought it was a nice tattoo. You couldn't find anything else in the thousands of tattoos at the tattoo shop that you liked. So, you wanted to make it look like you were perpetually crying. Or you thought maybe you could grow up to be in a porn. I don't really know.

However, when I see someone with a teardrop tattoo it makes me think one thing: run. Run fast. Run, Forest, Run. This is why I drive a big vehicle - to get away from people who have teardrop tattoos. Fast. Or, if I cannot get away, to get over them.

Seriously folks, does anyone think it is a good look? Really? It means you killed someone. Sheesh. Stop with the teardrop tattoos. They should be banned.
