Cool or creepy?
« on: June 29, 2018, 01:36:17 PM »
So some folks have figured out how to save the tattoos of a dead person and make them suitable for framing!

Where do you stand on this important issue of the day?

"Daddy, what's that?"

"Well, son, you never met her but that's your great-grandmother Phelonee's butt tattoo."

"Butt tattoo? Two 'L's?

"Yeah, one on each cheek she got it so when she was pole dancing and bent over it would spell LoL. People loved it. Made a lot of money that way."

"Wow."

"That's why we live in this quadruple wide trailer. Not everybody can afford to live like this."

"Ohhhh."

"Yeah, They were a great generation. Artistic, innovative, classy. We've fallen far since their time."

"Can we get back to where they were?"

That, young Dingleberry, is up to you and your friends!"

Human taxidermy is always creepy, even if the deceased does not happen to be a Soviet dictator. If you want a keepsake of your loved one, get the same tattoo, or frame a drawing of it, or - anything but this.

So essentially, the funeral home carves off the tattoo and sends it to this other company to be tanned and framed.  Are Ilse Koch and Ed Gein the corporate officers?

Definitely creepy, in a "Anthony Weiner channeling Hitler" kind of way.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Definitely creepy.

If you want to “save” their tattoo get it either drawn on a nice piece of canvas and frame it or get it done on yourself (my FIL has the same tattoo on his leg that his father had)

I'm not sure exactly what that would look like, but it does sound pretty creepy.
