Tats

Ok, I am a snob. I admit it. I am also a little old fashion when it comes to a few things... However, what the f' is up with all the tattoos these days? I should point out that the SacTownGuy is super hip and liberal when it comes to things like gay marriage. Whatever! I don't care who marries who. Just want people to be happy. However, I can not get over the tattoo thing. Is it just me? I think they look ridicilous. Plus, so many of them SCREAM, "damn I was drunk that night...."

Let me, at this point, say that old dudes with tats from their days in the military are totally excluded from this blog. Same with guys with tats they got in jail. I am sure not going to bad mouth their tats. I am, rather, talking about the glamour tats. Dudes with big muscles with branch like tats all over their arms and chicks with big tats on the stripper spot.

Kitty Kat and I went down to Vegas this past weekend for some fun in the sun of sin city. Let me say that Vegas is truly SIN CITY! My gosh! Makes me blush just thinking about all the strip clubs they have there. I am mean really. How many people must go to a strip club while there!? It's amazing. No, we did not go to a strip club. I would think it's been 10 years since I saw the inside of a strip club. That's really a post for a different day....

Well, anyway we were kicking it by the pool at our hotel. We did the timeshare thing because I love a deal so we were at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club on the strip. It's down in the lower rent district by Circus Circus. We got three nights for $179 with $100 cash refund for doing the 90 minute timeshare tour. We thus got 3 nights for $79 and did NOT buy a timeshare!

So we were kicking it down at the HGVC which was very nice. Rooms were large, with separate living room and kitchen, jacuzzi tub, big TV's, etc.... The pool was smaller than the big hotels but nice. However, that is where we noticed it... damn they were a lot of people with tattoos.

With apologies to all my peeps with tats but we concluded there is pretty much a direct coorelation between number and/or square inch coverage of tattoos and a persons social class. Ok, I am snobby and old school on this but really. Other than the guys I saw walking down the strip at 7:30 AM with cans of Old Swill-waukee nothing yells WHITE TRASH like a bunch of nasty tattoos. Oh ya, the guys drinking cans of Old Swill at 7:30 in the AM is true. I went for an hour run down the strip and passed them around New York New York. They were just cruising the strip, drinking their beer, and they looked to me like they were looking for a Klan meeting possibly!?

Well anyway, back to the tats. I am not sure if they are worse than a cigarette but tats are pretty nasty to me. You are basically permanently imprinting something on your body which you WILL regret before too long. YES, I got the tap back in college. That is, I had my fraternity symbol branded onto my upper arm. Thank god my white skin is not prone to keyloting and the thing faded over the years and can now not be seen. That was a dumb mistake of an 18 year old college freshman. These people with tats are 35 and 45 years old. I just don't get it.

I don't have much more for you... except to say if you are ever in Gatlinburg, TN make sure to visit my buddy Flash at Gatlinburg Ink. Tell him the SacTownGuy sent you and I bet he will give you a deal on whatever body destruction... errrr I mean body art... you would like.

peace out.
