Sunday Funnies – Tattoos And Old Age Don’t Mix
Posted on Sunday, November 27th, 2011
My Gram saved the Sunday Funny Papers for me and my daughter Nicole every week – many, many years ago. I think it gave us both an appreciation for the fine art of mixing humor with work. (It could also explain a lot… ) I’ll try to pass on my Gram’s gift here, sort of as a reminder to laugh every day. Thanks, Gram. Let’s see who’s got a chuckle for us today…
I guess this speaks for itself. All I can say is I’m glad I resisted the urge all these years to “celebrate” anything with a tattoo. Oh yes, I was tempted on several occasions, but I never succumbed.
Don’t get me wrong – I’ve seen many lovely tattoos on family and friends alike. My Dad was a navy man, so had an anchor tattoo. I watched that anchor drift from his upper arm south. It was a slow, sad, journey. I guess that was all the lesson I needed.

And that’s why I am still ink- free.
I know BB (aka Michele), right? I don’t want to look in the mirror and actually be able to measure my drooping flesh by how far my tattoos have moved south. 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
HA! The sad part is I’m 35 and at 19 I foolishly got one on the skin that grows to about 10 times it’s size when you get pregnant, just on my hip at the lower end of the belly. Well, needless to say I’m like that old lady now…”it used to be a rose”… now it looks like crap.
Oh Angela… all you can do now is smile, eh? It’s like the classic image of the “tea rose” tattoo that turns into a “long stem beauty.” I can only image. I have images in my head now of pretty little dragonflies turning into dragons, pretty little butterflies turning into bats… hmmm. Yeah, not a good idea.
BTW… how did you know “crap” is my favorite word?! 😀 Thanks for stopping by, Angela!
No comment. lol!
Yup. 😉
Thanks for the comment, ummm… I mean the no comment, darlin’ daughter!
Just thought of something. If there are any young bloggers out there reading this who have a tattoo, take a picture of it. Then when you’re an old blogger, post the “Then” and “Now” pictures. That would make an interesting blog post. Depressing, but interesting.
That’s to funny! So glad I never got inked! I have a friend who got a BIG parrot on her boob and now it looks like it’s constantly trying to fly south for the winter – it’s neck is all stretched out like a flamigo – sad.
LMAO Celene! Geez!!! That just goes to show ya, if you are a young woman who wants to get a tattoo on her boob, just go for the flamingo and be done with it! hahahahahaha!!! Thanks for stopping by and giving me that fabulous image to laugh at.
