If you're gonna wear your pants low just to show off your fake ugly leopard print thong, why not just wear a real thong?

Well, you know guys like him. He probably thinks a real thong is "too fruity." Or maybe his wife/girlfriend/common law lover knows it was him who was raiding her panty drawer, so he got it inked as a compromise.

At least, back then, the tattoo had meaning. Archie Bunker was considered controversial because of his bigoted viewpoints, though the character was made to mock those who thought this way. The Ray Romano one doesn't make sense because he's a beaten-down wuss like so many other TV male characters from the 1990s to now.

Serious question. I recently saw an incredible exhibition of Egyptian papyri, and have been seriously thinking of getting a tattoo, possibly even a large motif, based on them. The mythology is fascinating, and the art is just so incredibly elegant. However, I am of Eastern European heritage and white as snow. Is there any way that it wouldn't be tacky and tasteless/possibly offensive as hell?

This guys opinion? Bleh. As long as you don't get some sexually deviant artwork of children slaves fellating dinner guests under a table I suppose it could be interesting. Just don't get some giant ankh unless you want constant Death comments.

And yes that artwork from ancient times exists. It was on display in SF a few years back.

I would first spend a year researching Egyptian papyri, mythology, etc., and making sure that's something you're 100% committed to. Then, think about it some more whiles you find a good artist to tattoo you. I don't think it really matters at all that you're white, after all, there's so much body art/modification that has been inspired by other cultures and generally those who oppose* it are just looking for a fight. Stretched lobes, labrets, nostrils, septums, etc., body piercings, tribal tattoos, etc.

*Oppose as in are vehemently opposed to it, not just thinking "heh, white guy with a tribal tattoo, probably doesn't even know what it means."

I'm curious, what is the proper way to get into tattooing and start practicing? I mean professional artists working in studios had to start somewhere. If they start with oranges, then what next?

Apart for learning how to draw which is something that 99% of those awful tattoo artists failed at - many of them tattoo themselves actually or their friends who have so many tattoos that one more good or bad doesn't really matter.

There are some fairly expensive synthetic skin-like materials you can buy and practice. If you "know a guy", pig skin is nearly identical to humans.
Also, yeah, you could set up a sign downtown saying you're giving out lovely tattoos for free but the customer has no say over the design and morons would FLOCK to you. My ex's brother was not an artist in any sense of the word but was covered in free tattoos for this very reason.
