I find 'Something' to be a hard hitting love song, I feel this way about my 82 year old Sweet .

I can't imagine having someone's name inked on me, says the guy with a faded Harley-Davidson tattoo .

All of these are IMO great songs, they've stood the test of time .

Never be afraid to love deeply and unreservedly .

I'm too big of a wuss to get a tattoo. It seems like it would hurt.

I heard Peter Himmelman once say that before you get a tattoo go to your closet and look at all the clothes that you *won't* wear anymore. A tat is a shirt that you can't take off.

I just had an idea for a time-traveling story.

Rembrandt and Goya get teleported into current year. Because representational art has been out of vogue since the '50s, they can't find work as fine artists so Rembrandt starts working in comic books and Goya opens up a tattoo shop.

I wonder what an issue of Avengers would look like penciled by Rembrandt...

Yes, it hurts but nowhere near as much as you imagine .

Only for a short while too .

The thing with tats is like Ronnie says, they're permanent .

My ink is fifty years old and was better than average when done, now it's a blur, recognizable yes but not overly pretty to me .

These days everyone's all about "! THE INK MAN ! " so they get stupid tattoos in stupid places then wonder why they can't get decent jobs .
