Tattoo bashing

#1

Post by Dirty Dave »

Hey, wait a minute!

The Harley bashing got locked but what about tattoo bashing?

I've never owned a Harley, but with what I've spent on tattoos I could have easily done so.

Maybe one day. Always wanted to build my own "Harley" frame up with an S&S engine improved by Kendall Johnson.

The low end torque is addictive.

I have no tattoos nor any desire to have one.
In my view they are ok once kept above the cuff and below the collar.

I'm really neutral on the whole tattoo/Harley thing. A person has as much of a right to choose the bike they like, as well as what they do with there own body. Or the style of hair, cloths, or if they smoke or not. Good people come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and personal choices. As do bad people. Remember the old saying about people who live in glass houses. Just my opinion
