Those ol tattoos...



Up until today I've never thought about how a tattoo would look like a dozen years from now even my own. The thought ventured into my mind while I was enjoying a vast array of food at a buffet when the topic of tattoos came up. Me and the rest of my party started discussing tattoos that we had or those of friends of ours or tattoos that we've seen in general and where they are positioned on the body. One person mentioned their own tattoo that's right above their private area. Now when they were young, fly and flashy I bet that tattoo was a sight to see but now that they're...let's just say living out their golden years...I'm sure the tatt has been covered by a carpet of salt and pepper and only serves as a reminder of how things were in the good ol days. Is that the destiny of all tattoos? I see bare-chested dudes with washboard abs all tattooed up and now I'm wondering...what's his chest and abdomen gonna look like 15 years from now if he develops a beer belly? Will the words stretch across his stomach like the writing of a balloon when there's too much air in it and become illegible? Some of us ladies might be in the same boat. I'm curious to know how some of these inked up folks are gonna look upteen years from now once their bodies aren't so young, fit and tight. Can you imagine what Lil Wayne's, The Game's or Fiddy's tatts are gonna look like? I'm gonna make a mental note to revisit this topic upteen years from now for comparison.
