Not so awesome to me.

I agree. Personally I hate tattoos. It used to be you were either in the military,a tough guy,or kind of sleazy. Now everyone has them and they are just plain sleazy.

That reminds me I need to get my big one redone and do a cover up on my other one,and no I'm not in the military

Sleazy yes. I'll leave the tough guy status to the guys in MMA

That's because you mistake which definition is appropriate......
