More on tattoos

I had a comment from a friend who actually reads this swill and wanted to know if I was opposed to all tattoos.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and I am not opposed to all tattoos. Several years ago, a British lawmaker proposed requiring male AIDS carriers to get tattoos. His idea was to have their lower backs tattooed with the words "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here." It failed, but you have to give him credit for having the guts to suggest it. I might be OK with his tattoo idea.
I'll keep you posted.
