re: #190 Wendell Zurkowitz (slave to the waffle light)

I missed the whole tattoo and piercing generation thing. Never considered even getting one.

I don’t want to knock tattoos but I admire Steph Curry for seemingly not having any and being a huge NBA star.

It is a completely different thinking from when I was a kid. If you had a tattoo in the late 50s/early 60s you were looked at as punk/criminal/lowlife/etc.

So, I’ll leave and get to work on that note with a little WHO song and lyrics about tattoos. One of my all time favorite fun songs…love the lyrics.

“Tattoo”

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’l 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, rooty-tooty-toot-toot
Rooty-toot-toot tattoo too
To you
