REGARDING:
“Honestly, talking negatively about tattoos calling people “trashy” for having them and calling them “tramp stamps” is ignorance at its best. ”

It need not be ignorance. It could simply be historical awareness. Teens often call tattoos “tramp stamps.” Using their nomenclature is more like being accepting. (The problem lies in thinking there is something wrong with being one.) I remember a time when strippers were the main tattooees among women. (For men, it usually meant they had been drunk at least once, with the associated impaired judgment.)

I’m not griping, it used to take away questions like availability before other women horned in on them, like the scarlet letter A — informative.

I was at my grandmother’s house many years ago when I noticed a familiar tattoo on a cousin’s wife. Trying to show interest, I asked her where she used to dance. The others started to jump on me — verbally — about how lots of others had tattoos lately, but she ended their well-intended defense by honestly answering the question, some place in Biloxi.

At least the gentleman pictured above doesn’t sport a CUT HERE with dashed line across his throat like another beloved cousin.

David for truth in labeling

Come on folks….this is not a story about tattoos. Its a story about the hard work and dedication of all the officers involved in making sure the community is safe. Inmates think about escaping all day everyday. Its what they do . A few even try it. These Officers train everyday for this to happen. When you have a well executed plan of response, dedicated and well trained staff and different agencies working together, this is the end result. The next time someone says something negative about a Correctional or Law Enforcement Officer think about the fact they are not only there to keep the unlawful in prison, but they are there to keep them out of your yard, house, school and community.

To A Momma………You have got to be kidding me! A Tramp Stamp????? So you are not judging??? I do believe that God is the only one who has the right to judge anyone. A tattoo does not mean that someone has gone to jail or has done anything wrong. It is a passing phase like the piercings. In my younger days it was daring to have your ears pierced, wearing shorts were frowned on by some. In fact it still is if you go to some churches. If you don’t like them then don’t look. I, in fact, have a tattoo on my calf. I am OLD and it was done on a spur of the moment. Am I sorry, no. Am I trash, heck no. I am a widow with children and grandchildren. I have a respectable job and have not been in jail, ever, thank you very much. I think once in my early 20’s (well over 40 years ago) I had a speeding ticket. I drive a respectable vehicle and pay a mortgage. Even though you “don’t judge” you evidently would consider me trash. Thank you for reminding me that there are still narrow minded people in this world.

Honestly, talking negatively about tattoos calling people “trashy” for having them and calling them “tramp stamps” is ignorance at its best. As for his stretched lobes, there’s nothing “devilish” about it. I forget that in small towns we are unable to express our individuality and interests without being harassed for it. Good day to you, “A Momma”. Good job to Century’s K-9 unit and involved law enforcement.

Thanks to all law enforcement for their part in getting him back in custody.
I don’t get these judgmental small minded people, bashing tattoos just because you don’t like them.
You may not agree with them and that’s fine but why be nasty about it. I’m a mother with tattoos and guess what I dont have a record nor did I have a nasty rebellions stage. My tats aren’t on my back but even if they were it wouldn’t make me a tramp.

Don’t judge a person by the tattoos. Both of my son’s are career firefighters who are not into drugs or criminal activities. A lot of law enforcement, firefighters, military, etc. have tattoos but that doesn’t make them criminals. While I am not particularly fond of tattoos, theirs are mostly tributes to a deceased father, a deceased older brother, their heritage and the fire department.

Terry, if he’d been thinking about the kids he wouldn’t have done what he did in the first place, it’s bad for the kids.

Gary rebellion may have played a role in the neck tattoos, drugs did play a role in his down fall. As for staying the rest of his life locked up for stealing you are off base. The has a family and a small child that love him. Do you know why he ran? What happened inside? No you don’t. Thank you to all the law enforcement for tracking him down and returning him safely, to serve his time.

Jimbo the person that I read that said anything about tattoos was it was a sign of rebellion. Is that not true or did anyone not tell you folks that they were bad? I’m not judging, it’s a fact & you said so yourself that you have had a past, all have of some sort, some worse than others, but my point is tattoos are trashy & I’ve been told that when women get them, it’s to let others know they’re tramps. It’s their tramp stamp, & only bad people go for them for the majority anyway. People can change but they still have their marks, some mentally & some well like you said. At some point in time people with tattoos are trashy. Now the earlobe thing is another thing, it is just no way to say it but disgusting & devilish. They make me sick to my stomach & they’re offensive. Here’s something else that I’ll touch on sagging pants is nothing but total disrespect. I don’t know if they know this but it actually started in prisons, to let others know who the sissies were. Just saying
