Tattoos often tell a story and give insight into the personal character and values of the individual. If that individual enjoys strength and values honor it can be readily seen. If the individual values his comrades that too is displayed in tattoos. Hardships in life and past or present loves are also displayed with great pride. Most tattoos tell a story and some tattoos tell tall tales of what that individual wishes they could be, but is not.
Do your tattoos show strength of character or do they proclaim that you are something that you are not? Telling tall tales on tattoos is serious business and can get you into places you wish to be, but can cause serious issues when they find out you are not as tough as you pretend. For those who wish they were something more, they need to prove it to themselves and others prior to wearing a badge of honor.
Getting a tattoo and purporting that you are more than you are is often considered one of the worst possible offences to those who have made the grade. It is akin to lying about your credentials on a resume or wearing a fake Super Bowl Ring. Not much different than an athlete who has lost repeatedly and keeps buying trophies for himself. Perhaps you will consider all this in 2006.
