I have none.
A tattoo is an identifying mark...and identifying marks are a serious no-no.


I saw a ghost behind the door, when the kids were coming home from the war, with broken dreams and nothing more!

I went through US Army Special Forces Training Group in 1967.
Most of us were young troops just out of jump school.

The old timers and instructors had been WW2 and Korea hardcore types.
Many had corresponding tattoos.
Ranger-dagger-parachute related varieties. Hard earned tough guy stuff.
Looked good.

The cold war was raging and one of the 1st classroom sessions regarded tats.

They said some of us would end up operating in eastern Europe or some other clandestine situation where we were trying to blend in.
If captured or detained, a US Military tattoo would blow one's cover pretty quick.

Very few of us got anything to show off in our old age.

I can't understand having a tat I could not see myself.

Really a good artist works on the full body. Actually I am not mad about tattoos. I have only one tattoo on my left shoulder. I have lot of interest in basketball game. But my friend is mad fro tattoos. He has colored his full body with tribal tattoos design.

I consider a tattoo to be like a wedding dress. You know when you find *the one* and you know you can look at it forever. Mine features a set of footprints and the words "I carried you". This is a quote from the poem, Footprints. Click the link if you don't know what I am talking about.

After the hell he went through I wouldn't call that personal insecurity.
