My Tattoo

Post by Joppa »

I have a tattoo that I got when I was 15. It was a Huge mistake. A local radio station is having a contest and the winner gets their tattoo removed for free. I have entered this contest and need your votes.
Here's a picture of the tattoo.

I'm sure you can understand why I want this removed. I think I broke my Mothers heart when I did this. What a foolish thing for a young kid to do.
I would really appreciate you vote.

Here's a link to vote.

Mine is worse, hate to upset you...
In other news, I have no idea how to post a picture from a photo, so you're probably "in"!
Good luck, and
Always-

Both my step daughters have tatoos, not small but big sprawling images. I just know they will both be sorry later in life. At least so far they have resisted tatooing some guy's name on their bodies.

There is a great old song by The Who called “Tatto” from 1967 album "The Who Sell Out". I pulled up the lyrics…

Me and my brother were talking to each other
'Bout what makes a man a man
Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born,
We just couldn't understand

Our old man didn't like our appearance
He said that only women wear long hair

So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
We knew what we had to do
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
And got our arms tattooed

Welcome to my life, tattoo
I'm a man now, thanks to you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die
Tattoo

My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude

Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die
Tattoo

Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-toot-toot, A rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you


That album had a fun front and back cover.

Oh Joppa, yours really isn't bad. A bit childish maybe, but nothing compared to some of your competitors: a. the Pink Panther smoking a bong; b. the dinky teddy bear; c. "trust" and "fate" on wrists?

Some of these are just terrible! Good luck though.

I voted for you, but yours is easily the least offensive of the bunch. Some of those were just plain terrible. I hope you win, though!

I voted for you.

A friend of mine told me that planning and thinking about getting her's was a whole lot more fun than actually looking at it every day.

Thanks for the votes everyone. I have to agree that mine is really not so bad in comparison. Some of my competitors tattoos are Really Really bad. The big issue for me is that it can't be covered.

The first round of voting ends tonight at 11:59. Five finalist will be chosen and voting resumes on the 11th running until the 14th. If you happen to check back here tonight, and haven't voted today, would you please.

Thanks again

I just voted! Yours should be easy to remove, I hope you win. I have one that is 3 years old, a teal and blue petroglyph to remind me of my favorite place. I waited until my 50's to get my one and only and plan to have it with me for quite some time!
