I really don't get the whole tattoo thing. When I was growing up, tattoos were never popular... the whole tattoo fad started with the kids about 5 years behind me in the mid-90's. It's just another stupid trend that has evolved as the lemmings follow each other into the tattoo parlor. In most, ink is a sign of insecurity. They think it will somehow make them "special", when in reality they just end up looking like they're trying too hard.
