Tattoos

I have never had one.
They are becoming more popular (apparantly)
It seems every where you turn, a tattoo parlour has sprung up.
I'd like to have no opinion about them
But I do.
I haven't ever liked them
Although I feel less strongly about them now than I used to.
Some I think are quite pretty,
But not for me.
The thought of looking at myself at 66 in a full length mirror
Gravity having taken it's toll
Isn't a thought I want in my head.
Gravity can take it's toll, that's fine.
But I don't need a faded bluey, green wrinkly patch of skin there too.
As a reminder of Yoof,
How things used to be.
Maybe if they faded away after 5 years,
Maybe if there was a miraculous reversal technique,
Maybe, maybe.
I don't know. If you want a tattoo,
Nothing I will say as I ramble in my blog,
Will influence you.
Which is a Good Thing because who wants to listen to a 37 year old fogey?
