you look stupid when you are old... if you are colorful or not ^^ but more important is, you only have one life and you should live it when you are young... nobody cares bout stuff like that when you are old... i guess most people would think " cool a tattoed grandpa" and if you had a rock n' roll life you can't think about the good old days. Think about the stories behind the pictures on your body (you'll never forget). If you are old and not tattoed you still have an ugly skin... imo it doesn't matter if you have a normal ugly skin or a colorful ugly skin
