Tattoos where do you stand?

Tattoos are apparently serious business.

As for myself, I have a great fear of needles and inoculations, so I have never attempted to get one. Pre-emptive note: Yes, I am aware of the nature of the tattoo needles, which differ greatly from the kind used in hospitals, doesn't mean I still don't like needles.

As far as tattoos on other people go, I don't really care. Its just ink in skin after all.

How ya doing, buddy?

That's how the rest of the world sees you and frankly that's how the passport office and an embassy would see you.

Just want to clear something up: Are you talking about Americans who say their nationality is Irish, Italian, French etc., or their ethnicity?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
