Inked.
This is what my brother sent to my mother on his 27th birthday last week, resulting in a nearly instantaneous conniption fit and a fresh pot of sticky, viscous, familial guilt. With oregano and garlic. Where oh where did my mother go wrong?
I'm not sure if she has spoken to him since. I'm pissed too.
Sending my mother into fits as a result of totally insignificant lifestyle choices is my job! I feel like I'm sliding. My website has been the primary source of her aggravation for months now. I can't have that skinny little Marine stealing my thunder. I'd post more beefcake or fetish pics, but Lord knows, I'm sure everyone is sick of those.
So I'm thinking I may have to visit Newport Tattoo for a nice little band around my left bicep.
One that reads simply "Mom."
We all still love you Mom. Even if we are just a bunch of amoral ingrates who don’t go to church and don’t respect their poor, sickly mother and certainly don’t appreciate the many, many, MANY sacrifices made for her children.

Your last paragraph says it all. No words were more true.

For my 28th b-day this year, my boyfriend took me for my 1st tat. Id been wanting it a long time, but IM a big ass chicken shit. First words out of my Mom's mouth? "Well great. Now you look like MORE of a whore!" I love you too, Mom.

Aaah yes...I have a long suffering Portuguese mother. I think she is still saying Rosaries for my late teen "formative" years.
Happy Birthday, Jim's bro!

Does being hot run in your family, or what?

wow...that a nice arm for a skinny little brother. it'd be even nicer without that foul writing across it. for once i agree with your mum, however, i think if he'd gotten a tattoo of, oh, like, ME, naked - that'd have been MUCH better. and mom would love it! :)

That damn tatoo (and my reaction...a lot of laughter) put me in the doghouse for a couple of days, too. Worse though, my newest beau has since left me because it appeared I was "insensitive" toward my mother's pain over the tat. Thanks a lot Joe!

Paula - you're latest "beau" left you because you're an idiot. The tattoo is on your little brother's left arm... 3000 miles away... The tattoo looks great. The dude he mows my yards has the same one, except that it says "GARCIA"
I vote Ken

OOHRAH! Semper Fi fellow Marine...him of course. I myself have six tats.
Posted by: Mary | August 29, 2004 08:02 PM
uh, Sean? Maybe it's just me, but that is the right arm pictured. I think you mean your other left...
Not for any prudish moral reasons, but I think the tattoo was a mistake. Why spoil all that glorious man flesh? Ah well, hopefully he is happy with it and all his male-bonding feelings. Of course with the lights out - it's still glorious man flesh. :)

Vanessa,
I completely agree with that first part, but look at him (and look past the tattoo) - why would you want the lights out?

Well, Unfortunatley I am too late to post this comment as I am in California in the field. I appreciate all the wonderfull comments on my tat. Maybe you will see more from me later.
Ken
