The older i get the more i lean towards the mature and responsible men over bad boys. Is this what it means to be a grown up?

Okay I have been thinking about it ever since i read your tags on that ofmd post and I’ve GOT to hear more of this story about the werebear erotica biker. It’s too many vastly different words in order and i’m fascinated lmao
OK, SO:
When I worked at the Barnes & Noble in Peoria, I had a lot of really cool regular customers. But by FAR my fave regular was a gentleman by the name of Sandman.
(Yes, that's his legal name, he had it changed in the 80s, his driver license reads MR. SANDMAN in the first and last name sections.)
And Sandman is:
6'4"
A Vietnam vet with a full white beard, long hair, and a knee brace that squeaks like a rusty hinge with each step.
A biker/Harley enthusiast who attends Sturgis every year (when I left the Peoria store, he gave me a Sturgis shirt to remember him by, and I still sleep in it every winter).
Always dressed in a full length leather duster (which is covered in patches and pins, one of which reads DO NOT MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS) + a leather top hat.
COVERED in tattoos -- no, really, he has cobwebs tatted on his forehead and the back of his hands, stars on his eyelids, and dragons and pin-up gals all over his arms. He once told me about 70% of his body is tattooed.
A devoted fan of shape-shifter erotica, PARTICULARLY werebear erotica.
He would come into Barnes at least twice a week, right as we opened, come over to Customer Service, and ask me to load whatever new paranormal romances/erotica I could find onto his Nook. He's a wonderfully warm, friendly, cheerful man with a booming deep voice -- a total teddy bear, which only makes his interest in werebear smut even MORE apropos. And when he found out I had books available, he promptly ordered all of them, even though he prefers to read ebooks and mine are only available in print. SUCH a lovely man.
I enjoy working at the Bloomington Barnes now, but lemme tell you: I really and truly miss seeing Sandman every week. I haven't heard from him in a couple years, not since the Pandemic started, and I sincerely hope he's thriving (and still reading all of the supernatural romances on offer).
And just in case anyone thinks I'm making this up out of whole cloth, here's a photo of Sandman (from a professional photoshoot he was a part of a decade ago or so):

Tumblr media
Under different circumstances, maybe you would’ve stayed there, in his hold a little while longer. It wasn’t like it was an unpleasant feeling...not in the least. 
His hot hands and cool rings contrasted eachother deliciously on your skin and it had actually taken you a while to pull yourself out of your dazed trance, between getting the air knocked out of you and now....
“Oh.” 
You didn’t mean to yelp the way you did when your gaze met those of the blonde Adonis that stood before you, but you couldn’t help it. Those eyes...if you had thought they were pretty before, now you could say with absolute certainty that they were utterly showstopping. 
Salacious, intense, powerful...you’d never wanted to drown in a person’s gaze more. 
He had the kind of eyes you don’t just get lost in, but entirely lose yourself to. The kind that if you stare into too long, you might be swallowed like quicksand. And yet, even knowing this, you couldn’t pull yourself away and had found yourself for the second time in only a short span of time, unable to breathe correctly. 
His gaze was steady on yours as well, though unlike you he wasn’t shaken in the least. He was all cool and collected, his eyes searching yours out shamelessly. 
And so you stay like that for a few moments, his big hands pressed onto your mostly bare back and your hands gripping his forearms tightly, steadying- anchoring yourself. Though nothing about the piercing power of that gaze was anchoring or even real to you. 
Gradually, your heart begins picking up an erratic pace which only spikes when his fingers begin tracing softly over your skin. 
The shivers this sends down your spine feels like a slap to the face and you find yourself almost aggressively pushing yourself away from him. He hesitates a bit, but it’s only a split second before his hands are unclasped and off your skin. 
Breaking away seems to break the trance-like state you were in and instantly, the embarassment sets in, your cheeks heating up immediately. You bow your head refelctively. 
“I’m sorry,” you mumble out of pure shame. Not because of him, but because of yourself.  
Why were you acting like this? 
I mean, you weren’t normally one to fall for a pretty face because you had grown up around rich pretty boys your whole life.
But he...
You take a cautious peek at him again and instantly regret doing so when you realize the fact that his eyes had seemingly never left you and were now practically glowing with amusement as he watched you closely.
Your breath hitches and you bite your lip, a nervous habit of yours. His eyes momentarily flick down to the action but they quickly return back up to your gaze. 
Your eyes are everywhere at once, your breathing labored. ‘He’s too close’, you think to yourself amidst the chaos in your brain. 
And he’s too goddam perfect. 
He’s all sharp jaw, high cheekbones, silky, messy blonde hair, pink plump lips and piercing blue eyes...every slope and curve and straight edge of his face was all too perfectly harmonious with one another. To say you were in complete awe at the Adonis before you would be an understatement. 
You couldn’t breathe. 
His plump lips are so pink and full and they’re only highlighted more by his dark neatly kept beard, you have to blink several times to make sure you’re not imagining them. How can a man have such pretty lips? 
You had never seen someone this alluring in your life, he wasn’t at all like the pretty rich boys of your town. 
He had a naturally intimidating aura to him, in that rough-around-the-edges badass biker way that you shouldn’t be finding this damn attractive. 
And then you take a moment to take in his full form. You were right; he was easily a whole foot taller than you, sporting more tattoos than you could count on his visible skin- that was, his collarbone and hands, some of the ones up his arm poking out when he moved. 
Unlike most people here who wore kuttes, he was wearing a thick leather jacket with the word, ‘President’ patched in bold black and white on it, but you knew he had his arms fully tatted because you’d seen it that day at the store.
 He also wore black worn jeans that clung sexily on his slim hips, chains hanging over the jean hoops and clanging everytime he moved. He clearly loved his black combat boots because it was visibly obvious he used them a whole lot. 
His sexy mouth lifts at the corner into an even sexier smirk and you all but come undone when he speaks again. “It’s okay, angel.” 
‘Doll’, ‘angel’...
Your brow furrows and before you know what you’re doing...
“Are you in the habit of giving girls you’ve never met pet names, sir?”  You blurt without thinking. 
The unintentionally sassy words fly out of your mouth before your brain can even catch up, but when it does, your eyes instantly widen and your hand flies to your mouth, clasping over it in complete horror. 
You want to die when the excessive attitude in your words sinks in and suddenly you’re all too aware of just how much bigger and intimidating this man was compared to you. 
He could snap you, and most grown men, in half without a second thought. 
You open your mouth to apologize profusely thinking you’ve offended this (most likely) dangerous outlaw, but you freeze once you see his expression. 
He doesn’t seem angry at all, in fact, he’s...laughing? No, it’s not a full-on laugh like the one you’d seen in that parking lot. It’s more airy, more casual. 
He was chuckling. At you. 
He speaks again, this time amusedly. “Nah, only the pretty ones.” 
You’re caught off-guard by the suave of his words and you find yourself profusely blushing once more. You have no idea how to respond to him so instead, you just shake your head, desperate to escape this increasingly flustering situation.
“Okay. Now, if you’ll excuse me...” you offer him a forced polite smile and go to side-step him. 
You barely make it two steps before his hand is flying out, gripping your wrist firmly and tugging you backwards. A little gasp flies out of your mouth at the suddeness of the movement and before you understand what’s happening, you find yourself pressed tightly against a wall, shrouded in darkness. 
You turn your wide eyes onto Biker King, whose thick arms are now pressed beside each side of your head, caging you in entirely. His long torso is leaning down slightly, so his eyes are directly with in your line of sight. 
His scent comes onto you like an avalanche. He smells strongly of leather, cologne, shaving cream, something woodsy yet manly and strangely enough, clean laundry. 
It was unlike any scent you’d ever smelt on a man, but somehow it fit him perfectly and you found yourself inhaling deeper than usual, your heart racing at his sudden proximity. 
He’s so close, your chests are only an inch or two away and he’s staring straight into your soul, cornering you like a predator would a helpless prey. 
“Uh...” you can only mumble awakwardly, still kind of dazed and gaping up at him in utter shock, you can barely hear yourself over the loud pounding of your erratic heart. 
Up close, he’s more beautiful than you could’ve ever imagined a person to be and his piercing gaze was honestly dizzying you. 
“Why are you here, doll?” 
His sudden question jerks you painfully back into reality and you press your lips together, your brows pinching up instantly at his words. The question is so blunt, so sudden, you can only blink furiously up at him. 
“I- what?” You breathe shakily, suddenly unable to function at all. 
He tilts his head down at you, raising a brow and speaking awfully matter-of-factly. “Well you’re that pretty little thing from that shit-hole parking lot, aren’t you?”
At first you can only blink stupidly at him, not expecting him to recognize you but then it suddenly dawns on you...if he recognized you then-
You gasp loudly, cheeks more fiery than ever. 
A knowing smirk grows on his face. “Hey, for what it’s worth, angel, it was a pretty catchy ringtone.” 
You bite your lip in order to supress any small sound threating to spill over out of your lips. 
His eyes darken when they fall onto your meek movement and he tightens his hold in the wall, inhaling sharply. “Damn...” 
Your blush darkens and your stomach clenches at his small, heated mumble that leaves those pretty lips. 
Maybe it was the smug little smirk on his beautiful face that bothered you so much. Or maybe it was the way his eyes pierced through you like you were see-through, but either way, you felt trapped. 
Like he was a lion and you were some small, distressed powerless prey, unable to escape that watchful gaze.
“I have to go...” you breathe curtly, staring at his mouth from under your lashes as his pink tongue pokes out, sweeping lightly over his lips.
He chuckles sexily. “Oh, nu-uh, doll. You haven’t answered my damn question yet. What’s a girl like you doing here?” 
“A girl like me?” You frown. 
He laughs, looking away for a second before turning his magnetic eyes back onto you, somehow more intensely than before. 
“You and I both know you don’t belong on this side of town, angel,” he whispers meaningfully, staring at your mouth fixedly. 
“I-I don’t even know you,” is all you can manage in a shaky voice, feeling like an invisible force is pushing at your chest. 
His eyes lazily drag up to your own and he hums thoughtfully. “You don’t have to. You just have to tell me what you want with this place.” 
You find yourself reeling back indignantly at his demanding tone despite your nervousness. Just who did this stranger think he was?
“I don’t have to tell you jack shit,” you snap. “Now let me go, please.”
If he’s shocked by your little outburst, he doesn’t show it, instead he laughs lowly, the sound somehow like pebbles scraping against gravel and also like what silk felt on your skin or the way honey squeezes out of a bottle. 
The sound was so sexy- a perfect balance of masculine and airy- that it felt like a carress on your skin. 
“Oh, you’re definitely not from around here, little spit fire.”
You want to ask him what he means, but before you can, a voice cuts in from behind you both. 
“Prez.” 
The both of you freeze, but perhaps for entirely different reasons. Biker King looks mildly annoyed at the interruption, and you...
Well that voice sounded freakishly like-
Biker King releases a big breath, smoothly pushing off the wall and spinning around to look at the voice, leaving you to finally be able to release a breath you hadn’t realized you’d been holding in. 
You’re still safely hidden behind the much larger frame of Biker King, but you can easily make out about three pairs of manly feet from between his lean, jean-clad legs.
“Sorry, Prez,” the same voice quickly pushes out, but he sounds more panicked than apologetic. “I know you’re busy but...” he pauses, and for some reason you know it’s because of you. 
‘Prez’? As in “president”? You found yourself wondering silently. 
Tentatively, you step out from behind Biker King, head bowed. “Uhm- I was actually just going so..” 
You don’t even plan on looking at them before high-tailing it out of there, but a shocked voice stops you. 
“Y/n?!” 
Your head snaps up instantly. 
And when your gazes make contact for the first time in a long time, you can’t help the tears that instantly pool around your eyes, eyes and nose burning furiously as all the overwhelming feelings and thoughts you’d been suppressing for so long come rushing to the surface.
It was an instantaneous reaction because deep down you had felt he was near and a wave of conflict crashes right against you as you stiffen up.
Your mouth feels dry as you blink the threatening hot tears back. You haven’t seen him in a while, but he hasn’t very much changed appereance wise. 
Those eyes were still the warmest blue you’ve ever seen, that hair was still kinky and he hadn’t chopped off his frosty tips. 
It dawns on you why you’d recgonized that voice and your heart squeezes tightly as you’re fact to face with him...
Your voice is croaky and breathy when you say his name, but you force yourself to. 
“Pietro.”
*
Steve’s POV
I watch with raised brows as Pietro, or ‘Pretty Boy’ as we called him and my angel -Y/n is what Pietro called her- naturally draw closer together, like being pulled together by some kind of fucking magnetic force, and a surge of anger rises within me instantly. 
‘So your name is Y/n, huh?’ I can find myself thinking that her name is beautiful, delicate and feminine like her and that it would probably feel good to say on my tongue. 
Bucky and Sam each shoot a weird look my way, as if asking ‘what’s up with these two?’ and I give them a short shrug, quickly turning my gaze back onto the stomach-churning scene developing before me. 
Fuck, I hated her being so close to another man, it was inexplicable. I had just met the girl but I already knew I wanted her in my bed- it was like an instinct to me. 
Pietro is now within reach of her and I can do nothing but clench my fists as he reaches his arms out, with tears in his eyes appareantly not giving a flying fuck that his brothers are watching this unfold and tugs her small body towards him. 
What fucks me up more than anything is that she doesn’t fight him in the least. 
I mean it’s clear that they know eachother from their dramatic soap opera moment, but it’s the fact that they look so natural doing it -like they’ve done it so much before it’s muscle memory at this point- that makes me want to kill someone...perferably Pietro. 
He buries his face in her hair, inhaling her scent deeply and I can’t say I blame him. In the small amount of time I’d spent close to her, I’d become addicted to her smell. She smelt nothing like the women I’d fucked over the years. They used cheap off-brand shit, that too potent sweet stuff...but her? 
She smelled like wild flowers and vanilla, an expensive, soft, but not entirely inconspicuous scent I would fucking drown in if I could for the rest of my miserable life. 
As I watched on, helplessly clenching my fists so as to not do something rash, she shakily lifts her petite arms and wraps them around Pietro, hugging him tightly to her.
Oh. I growl under my breath, unable to resist the pang of jealousy that hits me.  
Bucky, my vice president, sends a look my way and I’m pretty sure there’s murder on my face, but all he does is smirk amusedly, the fucker. 
But then it gets worse, because Pretty Boy’s hands start wandering, rubbing her back tenderly, up and down almost to her nice round ass. Up and down, up and d-
I see red, and before I know what I’m doing, I feel myself lunging forward, ready to rip them apart. 
Except...
“Oh shit!” I freeze when I hear Sam voice all our thoughts at what has just happened. 
In the time I had stepped forward, Y/n had suddenly broken away from the embrace, brought her small fist back and clocked Pietro right in the jaw. 
We all stare like damn idiots at the loud smack sound, and consequent mixture of grunts and yelps that rings out, but none more than me. 
Little spitfire packs a damn powerful right hook, even with her size. 
I can see even Bucky, whose the most stoic of us all, is unable to do anything but gape at the scene. 
Our shocks lasts very little because in the next second, still cradling her injured hand to her chest, she uses her other free hand to smack him in the head, over and over. 
“You asshole!” she hissses, whacking him anywhere she can get her small hand. Pietro is crouched over, arms thrown over his head in order to protect himself. 
“Y/n stop!” he demands. 
But this only seems to anger her more and she’s attacking him with more fury now. “How dare you just up and leave like that? I thought-” she huffs, pained. “I thought you loved me, you dipshit!” 
It would seem my little angel has a potty mouth on her and I can’t help but smirk bemusedly to myself despite the fact that anyone here can tell there’s history there. 
Sam and Bucky’s shock seems to have worn off as well and they’re now staring, on the verge of laughter. 
It was pretty comical I’ll admit, seeing as she was way smaller than him and still whooping his ass. It was actually pretty impressive considering he was one of my guys.
I snap into action once I remember that she’s injured her hand and that Pietro isn’t fighting back because if he did, he could kill her. 
“Sam, Bucky,” I snap, pointing at Pietro with my eyes. They don’t hesitate a single second and instantly capture Pretty Boy in their hold, tugging him back. 
I reach out and grab Y/n by her waist, easily lifting her up and away. 
“Let me go, dammit! Let me go!” 
She wiggled aggressively against my hold, still flailing her small limbs about and yelling like a nutjob, but she’s no match against my strength. 
I hug her tightly, pressing her back to me so she can relax. “Settle down, angel,” I whisper calmly in her ear, but she keeps resisting, so I hastily add “If you keep wiggling that pretty little ass of yours like that on my cock you’re going to make me do something I’ll regret later. So I highly suggest you stop. Fucking. Moving.”   
I suppress the urge to grin when I feel her instantly stiffen beneath my touch. She finally seems to give up and fall limp against my hold. 
I mean, I was only half lying to get her to calm down. Actually, I was already half hard. 
‘You are one sick fucking bastard, Steve’ I think to myself bemusedly. 
“Y/n?! What the hell is going on?!” Another feminie voice calls out from behind us. 
Our necks snap instantly towards the direction where it came from and I frown. A pretty redhead comes bounding towards us, or well, me, looking just about ready to kill me and it is then I realize that I’m still carrying Y/n. 
“What the fuck are you doing?! Let her go!” She starts to give me hell, but Y/n suddenly sighs. 
“It’s okay Wanda,” she mutters. “He was just trying to keep me from killing-”
“Wanda!” Pietro calls out suddenly and the redhead’s eyes widen, much like Y/n’s had when she had first seen him. She instantly turns to Pretty boy and runs over to him, tears in her eyes. She practically jumps on him and holds him tightly to her. 
What. The. Hell. 
Sam turns to Bucky incredulously as ‘Wanda’ and Pietro hold eachother like they were the other’s life line. 
“Dude,” Sam breathes over to Bucky. “Where the hell is Pretty Boy getting all these babes from?” 
Bucky shrugs. “No clue.” 
“Wanda what are you doing here?” Pietro breaks away from her, ignoring Buck’s and Sam’s whispers. 
“Oh Pietro! I thought you were dead!” she sniffles and I’ve had just about enough of this shit show. 
“Enough.” I call out, gently setting Y/n down. I try to ignore her pretty gaze burning holes into the side of my head and focus on the issue at hand, turning my harsh gaze to Pietro. 
He gulps audibly because he knows I’m no longer playing around. 
“Pietro, you’re going to explain now.”

New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando returns to the Knights of Fury series with her most complicated hero yet. He may be the epitome of cool, but this MC president isn’t called Temper for nothing. - Temper (Knights of Fury #3) by Chantal Fernando  https://bit.ly/2VjtziA
Review -  Temper is the third book in the Knights of Fury seres by Chantal Fernando. A steamy MC romance that is sure to raise your heart rate with steamy romance, a sexy biker, and lots of drama! While this is part of the Knights of Fury series, it can be read as a standalone novel. The characters are well-written and developed at a steady pace that pulls you into their lives. A story with twists and turns that leave you wanting more.  Synopsis - Every year, the hot, tatted biker comes into Abbie’s bar, orders a whiskey and asks her out. Every year, Abbie turns him down. After all, dating a man that goes by Temper seems like a really bad idea, no matter how attracted she is to him. But this year is different. Abbie’s different. Older, wiser and tired of being stuck behind the bar in a sleepy town. This year, she’s ready for whatever adventure the sexy but sweet biker has in store for her. Or so she thinks…until an elegant candlelit dinner ends with a dead body. Now Abbie finds herself on the ride of her life, whisked away to the big city in Temper’s protective custody. She should be scared, but—despite his nickname—it’s clear the last thing Temper would ever do is hurt a hair on her head. And when danger catches up with them, Abbie soon realizes that holding tight to her man while straddling a Harley may be the safest place of all. #Sponsored #HarlequinPublicityTeam #HarlequinBooks #CarinaPress #ChantalFernando #KnightsOfFurySeries #MCRomance #ContemporaryRomance #SteamyReads @HarlequinPublicityTeam  @chantal.fernando.author  @HarlequinBooks @BookClubbish  @HarlequinPublicityTeam #Temper #KnightsofFury #ChantalFernando

The Best Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas For Him 2020
Oh sure, it has more to do with rampant consumerism than old-fashioned romance, but the way we look at it, there’s nothing wrong with getting nice new stuff. Unfortunately, Valentine’s Day gifts are synonymous with schmaltz and tat. (FYI, we don’t want a neon sign to go above the headboard that says #blessed.)So, for the avoidance of doubt, we’ve compiled a list of Valentine’s Day gift ideas that no man alive will gag at. From stylish threads to essential tech, if you really want a way to his heart, tie one of these up in ribbon and make him panic that you’ve outdone him again.A Nice Pack Of TrunksIf watching him strut around in a pair of grubby old sausage skins is making you question your relationship, use Valentine’s Day as the perfect excuse to take matters into your own hands. By kitting him out with some respectable underwear from a trusted name like Calvin Klein, you tick the gift box and get to burn those old ones at the same time.Buy Now: £38.00An Upgrade On His Basic TeeAn assortment of plain tees is one of the fundamental building blocks of a man’s wardrobe, and this particular one from Scandinavian brand Arket is a prime reason why. For added interest, the uber-cool cotton basic is finished with a chest pocket. Granted, no one in their right mind would ever put anything in a T-shirt pocket, but it looks good, right?Buy Now: £35.00A (Manly) Scented CandleScented candles aren’t just for girls. In fact, this earthy offering from Molton Brown (a brand he’ll no doubt be acquainted with), was designed with him in mind. Incorporating a combination of manly notes including pine and leather, it’s the sort of burner that even a hairy-chested lumberjack could get on board with.Buy Now: £60.00A Welcome Addition To His BookshelfThese days it’s not unlikely for a sneaker obsession to take up most of a man’s pay packet. To support his habit, but maybe not condone it, wrap up this best-selling memoir that tells the story of how Nike co-founder Phil Knight turned the company into one of the world’s most successful brands.Buy Now From: £7.16A Small Detail That Will Upgrade Any SuitThere’s only one man whose sleeves should flap around à la Gandalf (and that’s Gandalf). Help keep your fella’s together at his next formal gathering with a tasteful pair of cufflinks. Few do such details as well as Sir Paul Smith, so trust in the British designer’s stylish multistripe set, which are guaranteed to put his look one step ahead of the sartorial competition.Buy Now: £100.00The Athlete’s Grooming KitGone are the days when a bit of soap and a splash of Old Spice constituted ‘grooming’. These days it wouldn’t be weird for your man to own almost as many products as you. To save schlepping all your products to the gym Aesop has compiled all the essentials into one handy kit, including a body cleanser, shampoo and hydrator.Buy Now: £80.00High-Fidelity HeadphonesHe’s gotten away with his ragged pair of earbuds for ages. If the thought of splashing out on a Beats or Bose pair is intimidating, look no further than the Plattan 2 Bluetooth from Urbanears. With a crisp, full spectrum sound and 30+ hours of wireless playtime they also feature the essential built-in mic and a collapsible design so he can take them wherever he goes. All for the right price.Buy Now: £89.99A Wardrobe Staple JumperGuys can be just as tricky to buy clothes for as they claim women are, which is why both tend to shy away altogether. However, if you stick to the basics, it’s impossible to go wrong. They don’t get much more classic than a simple, block-colour, crew neck sweatshirt. No matter how fussy he is, there’s no way a staple piece like this will end up abandoned at the back of the wardrobe.Buy Now: £75.00Something For His WristIf your other half has a habit of showing up late for social gatherings with excuses like “sorry, I didn’t realise the time”, “my watch is broken”, or “I’m not actually late, time is an ephemeral concept, which has no real bearing on reality”, it’s probably wise to buy him a watch. Kill two birds with one stone by simultaneously shutting him up and sorting his Valentine’s gift with this classic example from Tissot.Buy Now: £270.00A Full-Body MassageChances are you’re as sick of hearing about “delayed onset muscle soreness” as he is with feeling it. The fix is a foam roller, which soothes his muscles and your ears simultaneously by breaking up achy knots after a workout. Just make sure you’ve got earphones on while he’s at it.Buy Now: £33.99A Trendy Pair Of TrousersThe smallest details in a man’s outfit can make a profound difference, so it pays to be clued up. Don’t just buy him bog-standard legwear – gift him one of 2019’s biggest trends that is sure to spill over into 2020: wide leg chino trousers. Pair with a cable knit jumper and he’ll look straight out of the catwalk. Girlfriend points for you, style points for him.Buy Now: £9.99A Cool AF CologneOud fragrances are among the most sought-after scents in the world; the only downside is that they are also some of the most expensive. Thankfully, premium retailer Hugo Boss has distilled the musky note into its new The Scent Private Accord – resulting in a gift that’s heavy on the nose but light on the bank balance.Buy Now: £52.00 for 50mlA Getaway HoldallIt’s a well-known fact that as men grow older they come to learn the true value of high-quality holdalls. From around the age of 20 upwards, what was once little more than a necessity becomes the main event. So, though you may think that £20+ is a lot to pay for something that simply transports other things, trust us, the guy in your life will almost certainly appreciate it.Buy Now: £220.00An #InstaPhoto CameraLooking to take your ‘Gram game to the next level but aren’t exactly Annie Leibovitz? The answer is simple: buy your significant other a professional-grade camera and let him do all the legwork. He’ll have a new gadget to keep him entertained, while you’ll have a 24/7 personal photographer and a grid to die for.Buy Now: £203.00A Standout Pair Of ShadesSome guys are perfectly capable of picking out their own sunglasses. Others, however, wait until they’re on holiday and snap up the first pair of Fay-Bans they see. Don’t take the risk, ensure he’s properly armed for the summer months with a stylish and timeless pair of sunglasses from a classic name like Persol.Buy Now: £164.00A Premium Ballpoint PenIt’s no good for a man to rock up to a business meeting in a suit so sharp its lapels could cut glass, only to produce a chewed-up old biro to take notes with. For the man who takes his business seriously, a smart pen is an absolute must. We’re particularly fond of this premium ballpoint from Ted Baker, which comes in its own presentation box.Buy Now: £35.00A Leather Biker JacketWe’d go as far to say there isn’t a man alive whose look can’t be enhanced with the addition of a men’s leather jacket.

• 30 years ago in white supremacy, we had a strategy called leaderless resistance. The concept was: stop shaving our heads, stop getting tattoos and instead try to blend in as much as possible. It was a really concerted effort to try and tone down the rhetoric and make it a little more palatable to the mainstream. And it certainly has penetrated the mainstream now. We’re seeing people who were supportive of our cause back then also supportive of Donald Trump’s cause, certainly with the recent cabinet appointments. – Christian Picciolini • A cool tattoo design is any drawing that would also look good saggy. – Demetri Martin • A good tattoo always has a story that runs deeper than the skin, and Inked tells that story. – Tara Dakides • A label is a soul-tattoo that is ingrained deep in our hearts, so much so that it determines how we see ourselves, And how we see ourselves determines how we live… A destructive label leads to a destructive life. There is a soul thief, a dark enemy, who wants to nail ruinous labels to your heart so that he can steal your life. Jesus wants to give you life giving labels that release your potential for the good of the world. – Derwin L. Gray • A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it’s not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone’s body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest. – Christian Louboutin • A tattoo doesn’t make you look like an individual. – Tony Parsons • A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition. – V. Vale • A tattoo is an affirmation: that this body is yours to have and to enjoy while you’re here. Nobody else can control what you do with it. – Don Ed Hardy • A tattoo is graffiti on the temple of the body. – Gordon B. Hinckley • A very common thing these days is people show up and they ask us in the band to sign with a Sharpie right on their skin and they go get it tattooed the next day. Then they’ll show up at another show and they’ll have their tattoo. – Jared Leto • After Cannes every year, I end up going to some foreign country I’ve never been to before and introducing myself to a new religion – I’ll go to Bali and research Hinduism, or I’ll go to Thailand and get another tattoo from Thai tattoo artist Ajarn Noo Kanpai. – Michelle Rodriguez • After searching for a space, I parked behind the tattoo parlor in front of a sign that said NO PARKING. Since it didn’t specify to whom it was referring, I figured it couldn’t possibly be talking to me. – Darynda Jones • Anyone who’s had a tattoo knows once you get your first one, as you’re walking out the door, you’re planning the next. – Chris Evans • Around the mid-’90s every hair guy who would have been in a hair-metal band got his tattoos and suddenly decided he was alternative. It just became like a thing. – Billy Corgan • As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I totally get it.’ So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it’s the word ‘hope’ on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids. – Kristian Bush • As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don’t care if it’s self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel. – Megan Fox • At the end of the day, the Lord knows I have no malice in my heart. But I’ve got tattoos, and I still fornicate. – Pharrell Williams

Leave a good-looking tattoo. – Ed Westwick • Bikers, in general, have just been so attractive to people. Photographers would follow them because there’s this weird warrior gravitas that comes with it.

Making a choice that is permanent and that I’ll have to stick with. – Francois Arnaud • But I understand now what Tori said about her tattoo representing a fear she overcame-a reminder of where she was, as well as a reminder of who she is now.

It’s not like one that you’re looking at like, “Aw, God, I gotta get that s**t removed.” It’s something we’re proud of. – Travis Barker • Even though she saw tattoos everywhere, they continued to fascinate her. How bizarre to be branded like a box of cereal. Didn’t people mind being counted as just one more product on a shelf? There had to be more to a person than that. – Suzanne Weyn • Every rock’n’roll band I know, guys with long hair and tattoos, plays golf now. – Alice Cooper • Every time I get a tattoo, my parents say they’ll disown me.

A hundred grand.” – George Carlin • Everybody knows I have the ratchetest booty tattoo of an ex-boyfriend. – Adrienne Bailon • Everything is addictive to me but tattoos are addictive to all. – The Rev • Everything is always spur-of-the-moment.

We express ourselves through how we dress or through tattoos or body art or piercings or cosmetic surgery. – Linda Evangelista • Having previously graduated from a 2-year commercial arts class, I thought that commercial illustration was the best way to make a living doing art. But the more tattoos that I did, the more I realized what artistic career potential tattooing had and I enjoyed it. – William Webb • Having the tattoo itself is not really for the end result for me. I like having them done. – Lena Headey • He and the girl had almost nothing to say to each other. One thing he did say was, ‘I ain’t got any tattoo on my back.’ ‘What you got on it?’ the girl said. ‘My shirt,’ Parker said. ‘Haw.’ ‘Haw, haw,’ the girl said politely. – Flannery O’Connor • He said, I’m better off without her, until I showed him my tattoo. – Tom Waits • I always look for a woman who has a tattoo.

I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And yes, I am a Republican. – Meghan McCain • I am wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, black shoes–new clothes, but beneath them, my Dauntless tattoos. It is impossible to erase my choices.

I’m a huge Wonder Woman fan! – Lights • I did a piece where I was talking about torture at Abu Ghraib, and I embroidered my hand with the image of the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoners who’d been tortured using a needle and thread. I know that meeting a Holocaust survivor when I was eight and seeing the tattoo on her arm from her time in the camps influenced my piece about Abu Ghraib. – Jill Soloway • I do have 14 tattoos, but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat. – Lea Michele • I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I’m so fair. – Dolly Parton • I don’t care what color your hair is, if you’re pale or tan, if you have makeup on or just woke up all I care about is that when I look at you, you always look back and see me.

He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes. – J Mascis • I don’t think there are any songs that I’ve written in the past that I now disagree. It’s kind of like tattoos; I would never regret a tattoo, because it was how I felt at that time in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever said anything that I would take back. So far, so good! I would probably change the music, or change how I sing it, maybe do it a little bit cooler, or a bit more grown-up. But I don’t think that there are any lyrics that I regret. – Emeli Sande • I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam. I woke up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue on my hip. I realized I made a mistake, so a few months later I got a cross to cover it. When my pants hang low, it looks like I’m wearing a dagger! – Angelina Jolie • I feel like the last tattoo you got is usually your favorite. – Nico Tortorella • I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation.

My stuffed whale was like most children’s teddy bear. I took it with me everywhere. I slept with it. I couldn’t live without my whale. – Skylar Grey • I have Bob Dylan lyrics on my ribs. I’m a diehard Dylan fan, and my dad and I joke that if I ever met him, I’d have him sign his name right under my tattoo and then I’d run to the parlor to get his signature tattooed. – Carly Chaikin • I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make, and I believe it has an important place.

I wear my bruises and tons of scars as my tattoos. – Kellan Lutz • I have no tattoos that I regret – I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was. – Nas • I have no tattoos. There’s nothing I’ve even been that into to get a tattoo of it. – Eli Roth • I have this huge lion tattoo embossed on my arm. I was a little worried as to how we would cover it up.

The problem is that if I have that one beer, I wake up in Tijuana four days later with a tattoo and a sore ass. – Craig Ferguson • I just feel like this skin is mine.

So, I’m going to be an old piece of paper one day with a lot of work on it. – Maria Dahvana Headley • I know people say ‘what about when you’re old and you’re covered in tattoos?’ – so what. Anyway, in time to come everyone will have them and it will be all the trend, won’t it? ‘Cuz you don’t know how the times are gonna change. – Cher Lloyd • I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it’s strange. – Megan Fox • I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them. – Pauley Perrette • I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm.

I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend. – Virat Kohli • I love Tinkerbell because she’s feisty and about it. She’s got swag! She’s going to do what she wants to do. I even have a Tinkerbell tattoo, and she is wearing Adidas flip-flops! – Kidada Jones • I love to make music, I love to get tattoos…That’s just what I love. If I wasn’t getting paid I’d still do it. – Kevin Gates • I need to know you believe me when I say I love you. That is all.” “I believe everything you say,” Tessa said with a smile, her hands creeping doen from his waist to his weapons belt. Her fingers closed on the hilt of the dagger, and she yanked it from the belt, smiling as he looked down at her in surprise. “After all,” she said, “you weren’t lying about the tattoo of the dragon of Wales, were you? – Cassandra Clare • I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had. – John Waters • I never thought about getting any tattoos removed. – Henry Rollins • I never watched those Spice Girls. I didn’t enjoy that at all. So I didn’t know Victoria Beckham well. But she came out with this pretty boy, got married, and the boy got more tattoos and more tattoos. And then I met her a few times, and we started work, and something happened. You know, she wanted it. She loves what she’s doing. – Manolo Blahnik • I probably have the crappiest tattoo — not only in country music — but maybe the world. – Blake Shelton • I really think if you have a tattoo you have to wonder about what kind of future you have ahead of you. As an employer, I wouldn’t employ someone with tattoos as I would wonder what customers would think about them. For me, tattoos are just a way for people to find attention who haven’t found another way in their life to achieve it by conventional means. – Katie Hopkins • I removed the window [tattoo] because, while I used to spend all my time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, I now live there all the time. – Angelina Jolie • I sort of tend to equate tattoos with prisoners, punks or people with a high level of self-confidence.

If I get any others, I’ll probably do my kids initials. – Niki Taylor • I think if you’re gonna get a tattoo, just get one: the words, ‘I’m dumb.’ That’s it. That way in 10 years, when you go, ‘Why did I get this?,’ you can be like, ‘Oh, I’m dumb!’ – Daniel Tosh • I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become. – Urs Fischer • I try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can’t do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can’t get, because… you know… I don’t have the tattoos; I have a different image. – Drake • I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. – Chloe Grace Moretz • I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos.

I can’t stop; I love them. – Adrianne Palicki • I’m celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo – Billy Bragg • I’m definitely in the market for being uncool. There was some funny stuff, like the thing about making sure I show people that I have tattoos and cigarettes so that they know I’m badass. But really, I do have tattoos! And I do smoke cigarettes sometimes, and I can’t change that. But I am not badass, by any means. I do some stuff that’s tongue-in-cheek, and some stuff that’s on the line. And it could be funny, it could be serious, and I never even know myself, because it could be funny that day, and the next day it’s totally embarrassing. – Ryan Adams • I’m not enthused by these rap dudes. All in they videos, posin’ half nude, with all of them tattoos, Til I blacken they eyes and have them lookin’ like raccoons. – Trife Diesel • I’m such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm. – Drew Barrymore • I’m waiting to get old – I think old guys with tattoos look good.- Ryan Gosling • It wasn’t the tattoo that had changed her, had given her repossession of her body. It was her actions, her choices. It was finding the path when it looked like there weren’t any paths to be found. – Melissa Marr • It’s hard to say conversation has become a minimal thing, because look at the rise of mobile communications in the last 10 years. It used to be only the President had a mobile phone. Now everyone on earth, even if they have nothing else, they have a cell phone. It’s a larger anthropological shift in my mind than even the tattoo age in the United States. – Padgett Powell • Its interesting, the things you learn when youre 21. I learned never to get tattoos in the middle of shooting a movie. Because if youre not Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, they will fire you. – Katee Sackhoff • It’s more likely I’ll dye my hair green, get a bunch of tattoos and go on tour with Amy Winehouse. – Mike Huckabee • I’ve always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films. – Eric Bana • I’ve come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young. But later on, that decision doesn’t look so good, and you wonder: what was I thinking? But the worst part is you’re still going to have to explain it to your kids. – Tim Pawlenty • I’ve got nothing against tattoos. I don’t have one myself. If I did, it would be right there next to my watch. It would say “Your wife’s birthday is August 2nd, your anniversary is September 18th, don’t let Ron White drive your car again.” – Jeff Foxworthy • Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It’s kind of a secret. People say to us, ‘Why did you get that?’ And we say, ‘No reason.’ – Marilyn Manson • Just saw a woman with a big tattoo of Jesus on her back. I guess it’s an ixnay on the oggy style-day. – Dana Gould • Man, I’m messed up right now. My best friend is my father? The man I idolized as a kid… whose tattoo is on my arm… And he’s younger than me. Yeah, I don’t think I can handle this. Mindwipe me, somebody… please! Where’s that dragon from Sanctuary? Simi, go get Max. I need him. – Sherrilyn Kenyon • Marriage is supposed to be permanent. It’s like a tattoo that yells at you. – Dov Davidoff • Maybe. Although I doubt most Shadowhunters get a tattoo of Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on their left shoulder. – Cassandra Clare • Mildred waves Carlos over. ‘Let me look at you.’ She eyes him up and down. ‘I saw you when you walked in. What’s with all those tattoos? Makes you look like a hooligan.’ ‘I suspect I am a hooligan,’ he says to her. ‘Whatever that means. – Simone Elkeles • My body is a journal in a way. It’s like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist. – Johnny Depp • My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story. – Johnny Depp • My favorite action movie growing up was ‘Supergirl.’ It wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination, but it was my favorite because I wanted to be her. I have a Supergirl tattoo. – Adrianne Palicki • My favorite tattoo right now is the one on my lower stomach that reads “Almost Famous” because as my career grows I’m still humbled every morning when I look at that tattoo, and I’ll always remember how much it sucked to ALMOST be famous. – Machine Gun Kelly • My first tattoo is a full-on Sailor Jerry situation on my hip – it’s a swallow with big spread wings. When I got it I was 20 on St. Mark’s Place in New York; I just walked in in a frenzy. It’s still there 17 years later and it’s not a terrible thing to look at. – Maria Dahvana Headley • My friends are coming up – they run this tattoo parlour out there and they’re gonna ink me up with the tattoo I’ve been wanting since I was two, right here, upper arm. – Charlie Benante • My ideal guy is my future husband. Not sure who he is yet, but he’s out there. What impresses me in a gay guy? A warm smile, stubble, easy to talk to, thoughtful tattoos, kind eyes, wit, positivity, wanderlust, ambition, and a cute ass. – Tyler Oakley • My mom actually took me to get my first tattoo when I was 15. She highly regrets that choice now, as I have a lot more. – Nico Tortorella • My new one (tattoo) says ‘Never a failure, always a lesson’ and is kind of my mantra to life, just a reminder. My life is just a crazy rollercoaster every day and whenever I read that it just reassures me. – Rihanna • My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot. – David Beckham • My only advice is don’t tattoo some guy’s name on yourself. Ever. I’ve done it twice. Twice! I’m in the process of getting both removed. It’s the most painful thing imaginable. – Diora Baird • My tattoo is a phoenix. I got the first when I was 16. I hid it for years. – Ashley Scott • My tattoo is of a cannon in Vancouver that I got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. A lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and I get real tattoo envy. But then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies. – Ryan Reynolds • My tattoo is that I don’t have a tattoo. – Michael J. Fox • My tattoos are like a scrapbook of my life. Sometimes you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, so covering it up with pictures helps – Frank Iero • My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough. – Demi Lovato • My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things. – Allen Iverson • No one wants to see a tattoo on a stomach. – Lena Dunham • Not one great country can be named, from the polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves. – Charles Darwin • Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven’t a clue. – Jimmy Buffett • One of the beauties of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the very delicate and strange relationship between the two main characters. – Stellan Skarsgard • One of the series I like is D.M. Cornish’s ‘Monster Blood Tattoo,’ in which he creates a whole language. Kids who are reading that are building a language in their heads. There’s no real cognitive difference. I think kids are excited by language, and they’re not always given credit for that. – Matthew Tobin Anderson • One person’s tattoo is nobody else’s business – Don Ed Hardy • Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality. – Salvador Dali • People are proud of their tattoos. It’s like a modern coat of arms. -Christian Louboutin • People have asked me, what about your tattoos when you’re ninety? Why would it bother me then? I would still want to get tattooed even when I’m a grandmother. – Nicole Miller • People like to come up to me and tell me that I’ve got nice ink. Except these tattoos aren’t just decorations. They are declarations. Every tattoo I have tells its own story about who I am. Drug-free. Honor. And a war against the system. – CM Punk • People who don’t like me talk about it as though I’m trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it’s 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. It’s a form of art I find beautiful. I love it. – Megan Fox • Previously unseen boo-boos come at you like tattoos on a teenage girl. – Robert Genn • Put tattoos all up and down our thighs, do anything our parents would despise. Take uppers, downers, blues, and reds and yellows, our brains are turning into jello. – Joan Baez • Quirky is sexy, like scars or chipped teeth. I also like tattoos they’re rebellious. – Jennifer Aniston • Right,” I scoffed, “Alpha Yam Ergo.” Adrian nodded solemnly. “A very old and prestigious society.” “I’ve never heard of them,” said the girl who’d claimed the first shirt. “They don’t let many people in,” he said. In white paint, he wrote his fake fraternity’s initials: AYE. “Isn’t that what pirates say?” asked one of the girls. “Well, the Alpha Yams have nautical origins,” he explained. To my horror he began painting a pirate skeleton riding a motorcycle. “Oh, no,” I groaned. “Not the tattoo.” “It’s our logo,” he said. – Richelle Mead • Say my shoe game nuts so I call em cashews Every other city it’s another Nicki tattoo – Nicki Minaj • Score a touchdown, kiss your tattoo. Kaepernicking! – Colin Kaepernick • She gets on you under your skin like a tattoo she’ll always be there! – Jason Aldean • She was clean”: no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses? – Jennifer Egan • She’s a classy girl though, at least all her tattoos are spelt right. – Chic Murray • Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past. – Jack London • So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again. – Virginia Woolf • Some people pay a thousand dollars for a tattoo. This scar cost me twenty grand. – Mat Hoffman • Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York, and that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is he’s called the Stig. – Jeremy Clarkson • Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage. – Drew Barrymore • Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bullseye. – Vince Vaughn • Tattoo. What a loaded word it is, rife with associations to goons, goofs, bikers, tribal warriors, carnival artists, drunken sailors and floozies. – Jon Anderson • Tattooing is my social life, too, so most of my time is taken up with that. People like Henry Lewis, Mike Davis at Everlasting Tattoo. – Margaret Cho • Tattoos are a right of passage. They’re a marker of bravery, of maturity, of cultural acceptance. The tattoo represents not only a willingness to accept pain – to endure it – but a need to actively embrace it. Because life is painful – beautiful but painful. – Nicola Barker • Tattoos are like stories – they’re symbolic of the important moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got each tattoo and what it symbolizes, is really beautiful. – Pamela Anderson • Tattoos are my way of expressing myself without the need for words. – Jay Park • Tattoos are permanent and a lifelong commitment, the same as marriage. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos are so widespread, so ugly and so very, very permanent. You can, in theory, have them removed – but a large chunk of your living flesh will go with it. – Tony Parsons • Tattoos aren’t meant for everybody and they’re too goddamn good for some people. – Lyle Tuttle • Tattoos exude pain and pleasure all at the same time. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos tell stories of crime and passion, punishment and regret. They express an outlaw, antiauthoritarian point of view and communicate a romantic solidarity among society’s outcasts. – Douglas Kent Hall • The ‘black metallers’ will probably continue to ‘get loaded,’ ‘get high,’ and in all other manners too behave like the stereotypical Negro; they will probably continue to get foreign tribal tattoos, dress, walk, talk, look and act like homosexuals, and so forth. – Varg Vikernes • The ‘believe’ tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe. – Ashley Tisdale • The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color. – A. J. McLean • The conservatism is extraordinary to me; just compare the way they dress to the way their parents dress. There are still no tattoos or piercings, which is interesting to me. Why does everyone who lives in one place dress alike, look alike, eat the same thing, and decorate the same way? – Tina Barney • The first five years of my career, I was Inmate #1, Bad Guy #1 and Mean Guy #1. I had a great career going, until somebody told me that I was typecast. I said, “Well, what’s typecast?” And they said, “Well, you’re always playing the mean Chicano dude with tattoos.” I thought about that and I said, “Wait a minute! I am the mean Chicano dude with tattoos, so somebody is getting it right.” – Danny Trejo • The first tattoo I got was when I was 17, and it’s a cross on my bicep with ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ underneath. – Trey Songz • The first time I showed the tattoo it was big news in the newspaper. ‘She has a tattoo with a snake.’ It’s not a snake! – Li Na • The funny thing is that my husband couldn’t be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He’s got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he’s around you, he’s such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans. – Malin Akerman • The funny thing is, when a Harley-Davidson guy full of tattoos comes out with a Maltese, they’re trying to soften themselves out. When a very soft, single lady with a tailored look comes out with a Rottweiler, she’s looking for protection, for strength. Society automatically views the guy as too strong so he brings a Maltese. It’s just a natural way to balance your situation. It really depends. – Cesar Millan • The justification for rap rock seems to be that if you take really bad rock and put really bad rap over it, the result is somehow good, provided the raps are barked by an overweight white guy with cropped hair and forearm tattoos. – John Jeremiah Sullivan • The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat; The soldier’s last tattoo; No more on Life’s parade shall meet; The brave and fallen few. On Fame’s eternal camping-ground; Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round; The bivouac of the dead. – Theodore O’Hara • The one album I can’t live without is called ‘Cumbolo’ by a band called Culture. Every song on their album is deep, but there’s one in particular called ‘This Train.’ I have a tattoo of the lyrics on my left arm. – Idris Elba • The one in the movie is not real, but my Casper tattoo is real, and it is my only one. – Casper Van Dien • The other day, I got a henna tattoo that says “Forever.” – Zach Galifianakis • The tattoo can only exist as part of the skin, as a drawing always is an incision in the material and therefore cannot be parted from it. – Antoni Tapies • The tattoo has a profound meaning: the superficiality of modern man’s existence. – Anthony Daniels • The tattoo of the History is permanent; once a nation or a man is marked by this tattoo, erasing is impossible. – Mehmet Murat Ildan • The universality of tattooing is a curious subject for speculation. – James Cook • There is something in the act of having tattoos done that I love. It can be quite addictive. I’ve got a few on my back because my friend is an artist, and a few on my arms. Every time I pass a tattoo parlour, I think, ‘Maybe just a tiny one. – Lena Headey • There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked. – Lena Dunham • There’s never the right last moment. Even if you get to say good-bye, even if you get to say “I love you”, even if you jump off a plane and get a tattoo and hug everyone you’ve ever met right before you drift off with a smile, it is never the right last moment. There is always more to say, somewhere to go, something to remember. Another discussion, another fight. There is always supposed to be another day. – Pamela Ribon • This is so cool,” I said loudly as Dad walked away. “Have you met the tattoo artist? Is he hot?” “He’s a she,” Mom said. “Is she hot? Cause I’m still young, you know. My sexual identity isnt fully formed.” “Your father can’t hear you anymore, Maya.” Mom sighed. – Kelley Armstrong • This was a place where tattoos outnumbered teeth. – Harlan Coben • To many people, dramatic criticism must seem like an attempt to tattoo soap bubbles. – John Mason Brown • Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you’ve made a self-discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about. – Angelina Jolie • We all originally came from the woods! it is hard to eradicate from any of us the old taste for the tattoo and the war-paint; and the moment that money gets into our pockets, it somehow or another breaks out in ornaments on our person, without always giving refinement to our manners. – Edwin Percy Whipple • We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • We have certain rules for traditional lyric poetry in Korea. I twist my body, confused by what to say and how to act, facing these rules. Confronting traditional lyricism, I speak with a bare body without the tattoos of culture on it. – Kim Hyesoon • Well, I love tattoos and have been drawing them on my binders in school since I was little. – Kimberly Caldwell • Well, these tattoos aren’t really rebellion. These tattoos are all tattoos I’ve had since I have been a pastor. – Jay Bakker • What we’ve said to the girls is: ‘If you guys ever decide that you’re going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place.’ And we’ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo. – Barack Obama • When all the people covered in tattoos turn about 70 years old, they’re going to look like a strange race of melting clowns. – Dana Gould • When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there’s light pollution and fog, and I couldn’t see my star. So I drew it on my wrist with a pen, but it kept washing away. Then I went to a tattoo parlor on Second Avenue and had it done. – Gisele Bundchen • When I’m good, I’m very good. But when I’m bad I’m better. – Mae West • When you’re young, you’re stupid. You do silly things. I did it (the O-Z-Z-Y tattoo across his knuckles) when I was 14. I was in jail for something. I could have had it removed, but why? It’s my trademark. People stop me and say, ‘Let me have a look at your hand.’ – Ozzy Osbourne • White folks are not going to come to see a bunch of guys with tattoos, with cornrows. I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks different, they’re stupid. – Charles Barkley • You are such a chick.” I widened my eyes in mock surprise. “No way. Are you sure?” Sighing again, he rubbed at the tattoos on his wrist. “Mackenzie was right. You aren’t slayer material.” Before he had time to register my intentions, I threw a punch. My sore, swollen knuckles slammed into his cheekbone, thrusting his head to the side. Pain shot up my arm, but I bit my tongue to stop a moan. “You were saying?” He popped his jaw, rubbed at the reddening skin-and slowly grinned. “Okay, so now I understand why Cole likes you. You’re worse than Kat. – Gena Showalter • You can’t judge a book by its cover, though. People think I’m bad because I got tattoos or snort a little cocaine here and there. They think I’m a killer. But what if I wasn’t a killer? Then what? Don’t be tripping on me. I pay my damn taxes, OK? Chill.- Gunplay • You have to have your face in the food. These days people think a tattoo and a bottle of Sriracha equals success. – Bobby Flay • You have to think hard with a tattoo. ‘What will I love for the rest of my life?’ – Kate Upton • You may be right. I think it was round about Christmas when I got my Welsh dragon tattoo.” At that, Tessa had to try very hard not to blush. “How did that happen?” Will made an airy gesture with his hand. “I was drunk…” “Nonsense. You were never really drunk.” “On the contrary—in order to learn how to pretend to be inebriated, once must become inebriated at least once, as a reference point. Six-Fingered Nigel had been at the mulled cider—“ “You can’t mean there’s truly a Six-Fingered Nigel? – Cassandra Clare • Your tattoos are supposed to be some connection to your personality. That’s a lot more important than going in and just picking one off a wall. I’ve never understood why people get butterflies tattooed on their bottoms or whatever. That’s really weird. – Ville Valo • You’re like a philosopher with tattoos. – J.A. Redmerski

• 30 years ago in white supremacy, we had a strategy called leaderless resistance. The concept was: stop shaving our heads, stop getting tattoos and instead try to blend in as much as possible. It was a really concerted effort to try and tone down the rhetoric and make it a little more palatable to the mainstream. And it certainly has penetrated the mainstream now. We’re seeing people who were supportive of our cause back then also supportive of Donald Trump’s cause, certainly with the recent cabinet appointments. – Christian Picciolini • A cool tattoo design is any drawing that would also look good saggy. – Demetri Martin • A good tattoo always has a story that runs deeper than the skin, and Inked tells that story. – Tara Dakides • A label is a soul-tattoo that is ingrained deep in our hearts, so much so that it determines how we see ourselves, And how we see ourselves determines how we live… A destructive label leads to a destructive life. There is a soul thief, a dark enemy, who wants to nail ruinous labels to your heart so that he can steal your life. Jesus wants to give you life giving labels that release your potential for the good of the world. – Derwin L. Gray • A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it’s not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone’s body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest. – Christian Louboutin • A tattoo doesn’t make you look like an individual. – Tony Parsons • A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition. – V. Vale • A tattoo is an affirmation: that this body is yours to have and to enjoy while you’re here. Nobody else can control what you do with it. – Don Ed Hardy • A tattoo is graffiti on the temple of the body. – Gordon B. Hinckley • A very common thing these days is people show up and they ask us in the band to sign with a Sharpie right on their skin and they go get it tattooed the next day. Then they’ll show up at another show and they’ll have their tattoo. – Jared Leto • After Cannes every year, I end up going to some foreign country I’ve never been to before and introducing myself to a new religion – I’ll go to Bali and research Hinduism, or I’ll go to Thailand and get another tattoo from Thai tattoo artist Ajarn Noo Kanpai. – Michelle Rodriguez • After searching for a space, I parked behind the tattoo parlor in front of a sign that said NO PARKING. Since it didn’t specify to whom it was referring, I figured it couldn’t possibly be talking to me. – Darynda Jones • Anyone who’s had a tattoo knows once you get your first one, as you’re walking out the door, you’re planning the next. – Chris Evans • Around the mid-’90s every hair guy who would have been in a hair-metal band got his tattoos and suddenly decided he was alternative. It just became like a thing. – Billy Corgan • As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I totally get it.’ So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it’s the word ‘hope’ on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids. – Kristian Bush • As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don’t care if it’s self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel. – Megan Fox • At the end of the day, the Lord knows I have no malice in my heart. But I’ve got tattoos, and I still fornicate. – Pharrell Williams
jQuery(document).ready(function($) var data = action: 'polyxgo_products_search', type: 'Product', keywords: 'Tattoo', orderby: 'rand', order: 'DESC', template: '1', limit: '68', columns: '4', viewall:'Shop All', ; jQuery.post(spyr_params.ajaxurl,data, function(response) var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(response); jQuery('#thelovesof_tattoo').html(obj); jQuery('#thelovesof_tattoo img.swiper-lazy:not(.swiper-lazy-loaded)' ).each(function () var img = jQuery(this); img.attr("src",img.data('src')); img.addClass( 'swiper-lazy-loaded' ); img.removeAttr('data-src'); ); ); ); • ‘Battlefield’ was one of those slow-building songs, the way ‘Tattoo’ was. It was kind of a word-of-mouth hit. The more people heard it, the more they started requesting it on the radio. – Jordin Sparks • Be a good-looking corpse. Leave a good-looking tattoo. – Ed Westwick • Bikers, in general, have just been so attractive to people. Photographers would follow them because there’s this weird warrior gravitas that comes with it. The bikes are loud, they have tattoos, they have artwork that they all wear on their jackets. – Ryan Hurst • But for me, to get the tattoo was part of moving into adulthood. Making a choice that is permanent and that I’ll have to stick with. – Francois Arnaud • But I understand now what Tori said about her tattoo representing a fear she overcame-a reminder of where she was, as well as a reminder of who she is now. Maybe there is a way to honor my old life as I embrace my new one. “yes,” I say. “Three of these flying birds.” I touch my collarbone, marking the path of their flight-toward my heart. One for each member of the family I left behind. – Veronica Roth • Don’t be dumb. (don’t get a tattoo) – Dallin H. Oaks • Don’t cut it,” he said gruffly. “But no one’ll see my tattoos if I don’t.” “Wear it up.” -Dimitri, Rose, Dimitri – Richelle Mead • Don’t let these tattoos fool you. I’m straight edge. I’m a man of great discipline; I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs… my addiction is wrestling – my obsession is competition. Discipline. My name is C…M…Punk. – CM Punk • Eddie waited ’til he finished high school, he went to Hollywood, got a tattoo. – Tom Petty • Enema of the State song is kind of like a tattoo, like a moment in time, but it aged well. It’s not like one that you’re looking at like, “Aw, God, I gotta get that s**t removed.” It’s something we’re proud of. – Travis Barker • Even though she saw tattoos everywhere, they continued to fascinate her. How bizarre to be branded like a box of cereal. Didn’t people mind being counted as just one more product on a shelf? There had to be more to a person than that. – Suzanne Weyn • Every rock’n’roll band I know, guys with long hair and tattoos, plays golf now. – Alice Cooper • Every time I get a tattoo, my parents say they’ll disown me. I have to get them airbrushed for Charmed. Witches don’t have tattoos, I guess. – Alyssa Milano • Everybody gets the tattoo they deserve. – David Duchovny • Everybody in America is a part of this big herd of cattle being led to the marketplace, not to be sold, which is usual with cattle, but to do the buying. And everyone is branded. You see the brands – Nike, Puma, Coke – all over their bodies. Pretty soon you’ll go to a family and say, “$100,000 if we can tattoo Pepsi on your child’s forehead, and we’ll have it removed when he’s twenty-one. A hundred grand.” – George Carlin • Everybody knows I have the ratchetest booty tattoo of an ex-boyfriend. – Adrienne Bailon • Everything is addictive to me but tattoos are addictive to all. – The Rev • Everything is always spur-of-the-moment.

It’s a rite of passage. – Jenna Jameson • Getting a tattoo would probably make me cry. – Calvin Trillin • Giving birth was easier than having a tattoo. – Nicole Appleton • Hair is just one way of expressing ourselves. We express ourselves through how we dress or through tattoos or body art or piercings or cosmetic surgery. – Linda Evangelista • Having previously graduated from a 2-year commercial arts class, I thought that commercial illustration was the best way to make a living doing art. But the more tattoos that I did, the more I realized what artistic career potential tattooing had and I enjoyed it. – William Webb • Having the tattoo itself is not really for the end result for me. I like having them done. – Lena Headey • He and the girl had almost nothing to say to each other. One thing he did say was, ‘I ain’t got any tattoo on my back.’ ‘What you got on it?’ the girl said. ‘My shirt,’ Parker said. ‘Haw.’ ‘Haw, haw,’ the girl said politely. – Flannery O’Connor • He said, I’m better off without her, until I showed him my tattoo. – Tom Waits • I always look for a woman who has a tattoo.

My kids say, no, no, your body is the temple of your spirit, keep it clean. I’m covered in tattoos and I get a tattoo every time I write a book. I get the tattoo from the book. – Bill Ayers • I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I think government is best when it stays out of people’s lives and business as much as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong national defense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And yes, I am a Republican. – Meghan McCain • I am wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, black shoes–new clothes, but beneath them, my Dauntless tattoos. It is impossible to erase my choices.

I’m a huge Wonder Woman fan! – Lights • I did a piece where I was talking about torture at Abu Ghraib, and I embroidered my hand with the image of the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoners who’d been tortured using a needle and thread. I know that meeting a Holocaust survivor when I was eight and seeing the tattoo on her arm from her time in the camps influenced my piece about Abu Ghraib. – Jill Soloway • I do have 14 tattoos, but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat. – Lea Michele • I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I’m so fair. – Dolly Parton • I don’t care what color your hair is, if you’re pale or tan, if you have makeup on or just woke up all I care about is that when I look at you, you always look back and see me. You’re beautiful inside and out and if you wanted to tattoo all that pretty white skin from head to toe I would be honored to put it there for you but if not I’ll take you all smooth and milky white any chance I get. – Jay Crownover • I don’t have any tattoos – I live vicariously through my sister, Langley, who has many. If I can’t stick to one ensemble, I don’t think I could stick to one tattoo. – Dree Hemingway • I don’t have any tattoos but I’ve thought about getting Ernie, from Bert and Ernie, on my earlobe. He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes. – J Mascis • I don’t think there are any songs that I’ve written in the past that I now disagree. It’s kind of like tattoos; I would never regret a tattoo, because it was how I felt at that time in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever said anything that I would take back. So far, so good! I would probably change the music, or change how I sing it, maybe do it a little bit cooler, or a bit more grown-up. But I don’t think that there are any lyrics that I regret. – Emeli Sande • I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam. I woke up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue on my hip. I realized I made a mistake, so a few months later I got a cross to cover it. When my pants hang low, it looks like I’m wearing a dagger! – Angelina Jolie • I feel like the last tattoo you got is usually your favorite. – Nico Tortorella • I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation. My mom kept saying ‘Let it go, Lauren, It doesn’t matter’ … [I] realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think.

The problem is that if I have that one beer, I wake up in Tijuana four days later with a tattoo and a sore ass. – Craig Ferguson • I just feel like this skin is mine. It’s aging every day and the tattoos are aging with me. So, I’m going to be an old piece of paper one day with a lot of work on it. – Maria Dahvana Headley • I know people say ‘what about when you’re old and you’re covered in tattoos?’ – so what. Anyway, in time to come everyone will have them and it will be all the trend, won’t it? ‘Cuz you don’t know how the times are gonna change. – Cher Lloyd • I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it’s strange. – Megan Fox • I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them. – Pauley Perrette • I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend. – Virat Kohli • I love Tinkerbell because she’s feisty and about it. She’s got swag! She’s going to do what she wants to do. I even have a Tinkerbell tattoo, and she is wearing Adidas flip-flops! – Kidada Jones • I love to make music, I love to get tattoos…That’s just what I love. If I wasn’t getting paid I’d still do it. – Kevin Gates • I need to know you believe me when I say I love you. That is all.” “I believe everything you say,” Tessa said with a smile, her hands creeping doen from his waist to his weapons belt. Her fingers closed on the hilt of the dagger, and she yanked it from the belt, smiling as he looked down at her in surprise. “After all,” she said, “you weren’t lying about the tattoo of the dragon of Wales, were you? – Cassandra Clare • I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had. – John Waters • I never thought about getting any tattoos removed. – Henry Rollins • I never watched those Spice Girls. I didn’t enjoy that at all. So I didn’t know Victoria Beckham well. But she came out with this pretty boy, got married, and the boy got more tattoos and more tattoos. And then I met her a few times, and we started work, and something happened. You know, she wanted it. She loves what she’s doing. – Manolo Blahnik • I probably have the crappiest tattoo — not only in country music — but maybe the world. – Blake Shelton • I really think if you have a tattoo you have to wonder about what kind of future you have ahead of you. As an employer, I wouldn’t employ someone with tattoos as I would wonder what customers would think about them. For me, tattoos are just a way for people to find attention who haven’t found another way in their life to achieve it by conventional means. – Katie Hopkins • I removed the window [tattoo] because, while I used to spend all my time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, I now live there all the time. – Angelina Jolie • I sort of tend to equate tattoos with prisoners, punks or people with a high level of self-confidence. I don’t necessarily have a covered-in-tattoos personality. – Lena Dunham • I think I have enough tattoos for now. If I get any others, I’ll probably do my kids initials. – Niki Taylor • I think if you’re gonna get a tattoo, just get one: the words, ‘I’m dumb.’ That’s it. That way in 10 years, when you go, ‘Why did I get this?,’ you can be like, ‘Oh, I’m dumb!’ – Daniel Tosh • I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become. – Urs Fischer • I try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can’t do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can’t get, because… you know… I don’t have the tattoos; I have a different image. – Drake • I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. – Chloe Grace Moretz • I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can’t decide what I want, and I don’t want to be stuck with something I’d grow to hate and have surgically removed. – Margaret Cho • I wanted alot of tattoos but I never thought I was gonna be this rediculous. – Synyster Gates • I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once. – Amanda Holden • I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I’ve been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage. – Kevin Durant • I went to this tattoo parlor in the East Village and I got an outline of a violin on my lower back. They call them tramp stamps now. – Katherine Moennig • If the body is a temple, then tattoos are its stained glass windows. – Sylvia Plath • I’ll never have a tattoo – I just don’t like them, and when you’re old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don’t like them on men. – Rafael Nadal • I’ll tell you this, lad: A tattoo says more of a fellow looking at it than it can do of the man who’s got it on his back. – Sarah Hall • I’m a big fan of zombies, and I have a zombie tattoo on my leg. – Tyler Posey • I’m a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling. – Andy Samberg • I’m addicted to tattoos. I can’t stop; I love them. – Adrianne Palicki • I’m celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo – Billy Bragg • I’m definitely in the market for being uncool. There was some funny stuff, like the thing about making sure I show people that I have tattoos and cigarettes so that they know I’m badass. But really, I do have tattoos! And I do smoke cigarettes sometimes, and I can’t change that. But I am not badass, by any means. I do some stuff that’s tongue-in-cheek, and some stuff that’s on the line. And it could be funny, it could be serious, and I never even know myself, because it could be funny that day, and the next day it’s totally embarrassing. – Ryan Adams • I’m not enthused by these rap dudes. All in they videos, posin’ half nude, with all of them tattoos, Til I blacken they eyes and have them lookin’ like raccoons. – Trife Diesel • I’m such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm. – Drew Barrymore • I’m waiting to get old – I think old guys with tattoos look good.- Ryan Gosling • It wasn’t the tattoo that had changed her, had given her repossession of her body. It was her actions, her choices. It was finding the path when it looked like there weren’t any paths to be found. – Melissa Marr • It’s hard to say conversation has become a minimal thing, because look at the rise of mobile communications in the last 10 years. It used to be only the President had a mobile phone. Now everyone on earth, even if they have nothing else, they have a cell phone. It’s a larger anthropological shift in my mind than even the tattoo age in the United States. – Padgett Powell • Its interesting, the things you learn when youre 21. I learned never to get tattoos in the middle of shooting a movie. Because if youre not Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, they will fire you. – Katee Sackhoff • It’s more likely I’ll dye my hair green, get a bunch of tattoos and go on tour with Amy Winehouse. – Mike Huckabee • I’ve always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films. – Eric Bana • I’ve come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young. But later on, that decision doesn’t look so good, and you wonder: what was I thinking? But the worst part is you’re still going to have to explain it to your kids. – Tim Pawlenty • I’ve got nothing against tattoos. I don’t have one myself. If I did, it would be right there next to my watch. It would say “Your wife’s birthday is August 2nd, your anniversary is September 18th, don’t let Ron White drive your car again.” – Jeff Foxworthy • Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It’s kind of a secret. People say to us, ‘Why did you get that?’ And we say, ‘No reason.’ – Marilyn Manson • Just saw a woman with a big tattoo of Jesus on her back. I guess it’s an ixnay on the oggy style-day. – Dana Gould • Man, I’m messed up right now. My best friend is my father? The man I idolized as a kid… whose tattoo is on my arm… And he’s younger than me. Yeah, I don’t think I can handle this. Mindwipe me, somebody… please! Where’s that dragon from Sanctuary? Simi, go get Max. I need him. – Sherrilyn Kenyon • Marriage is supposed to be permanent. It’s like a tattoo that yells at you. – Dov Davidoff • Maybe. Although I doubt most Shadowhunters get a tattoo of Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on their left shoulder. – Cassandra Clare • Mildred waves Carlos over. ‘Let me look at you.’ She eyes him up and down. ‘I saw you when you walked in. What’s with all those tattoos? Makes you look like a hooligan.’ ‘I suspect I am a hooligan,’ he says to her. ‘Whatever that means. – Simone Elkeles • My body is a journal in a way. It’s like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist. – Johnny Depp • My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story. – Johnny Depp • My favorite action movie growing up was ‘Supergirl.’ It wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination, but it was my favorite because I wanted to be her. I have a Supergirl tattoo. – Adrianne Palicki • My favorite tattoo right now is the one on my lower stomach that reads “Almost Famous” because as my career grows I’m still humbled every morning when I look at that tattoo, and I’ll always remember how much it sucked to ALMOST be famous. – Machine Gun Kelly • My first tattoo is a full-on Sailor Jerry situation on my hip – it’s a swallow with big spread wings. When I got it I was 20 on St. Mark’s Place in New York; I just walked in in a frenzy. It’s still there 17 years later and it’s not a terrible thing to look at. – Maria Dahvana Headley • My friends are coming up – they run this tattoo parlour out there and they’re gonna ink me up with the tattoo I’ve been wanting since I was two, right here, upper arm. – Charlie Benante • My ideal guy is my future husband. Not sure who he is yet, but he’s out there. What impresses me in a gay guy? A warm smile, stubble, easy to talk to, thoughtful tattoos, kind eyes, wit, positivity, wanderlust, ambition, and a cute ass. – Tyler Oakley • My mom actually took me to get my first tattoo when I was 15. She highly regrets that choice now, as I have a lot more. – Nico Tortorella • My new one (tattoo) says ‘Never a failure, always a lesson’ and is kind of my mantra to life, just a reminder. My life is just a crazy rollercoaster every day and whenever I read that it just reassures me. – Rihanna • My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot. – David Beckham • My only advice is don’t tattoo some guy’s name on yourself. Ever. I’ve done it twice. Twice! I’m in the process of getting both removed. It’s the most painful thing imaginable. – Diora Baird • My tattoo is a phoenix. I got the first when I was 16. I hid it for years. – Ashley Scott • My tattoo is of a cannon in Vancouver that I got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. A lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and I get real tattoo envy. But then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies. – Ryan Reynolds • My tattoo is that I don’t have a tattoo. – Michael J. Fox • My tattoos are like a scrapbook of my life. Sometimes you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, so covering it up with pictures helps – Frank Iero • My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough. – Demi Lovato • My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things. – Allen Iverson • No one wants to see a tattoo on a stomach. – Lena Dunham • Not one great country can be named, from the polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves. – Charles Darwin • Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven’t a clue. – Jimmy Buffett • One of the beauties of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the very delicate and strange relationship between the two main characters. – Stellan Skarsgard • One of the series I like is D.M. Cornish’s ‘Monster Blood Tattoo,’ in which he creates a whole language. Kids who are reading that are building a language in their heads. There’s no real cognitive difference. I think kids are excited by language, and they’re not always given credit for that. – Matthew Tobin Anderson • One person’s tattoo is nobody else’s business – Don Ed Hardy • Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality. – Salvador Dali • People are proud of their tattoos. It’s like a modern coat of arms. -Christian Louboutin • People have asked me, what about your tattoos when you’re ninety? Why would it bother me then? I would still want to get tattooed even when I’m a grandmother. – Nicole Miller • People like to come up to me and tell me that I’ve got nice ink. Except these tattoos aren’t just decorations. They are declarations. Every tattoo I have tells its own story about who I am. Drug-free. Honor. And a war against the system. – CM Punk • People who don’t like me talk about it as though I’m trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it’s 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. It’s a form of art I find beautiful. I love it. – Megan Fox • Previously unseen boo-boos come at you like tattoos on a teenage girl. – Robert Genn • Put tattoos all up and down our thighs, do anything our parents would despise. Take uppers, downers, blues, and reds and yellows, our brains are turning into jello. – Joan Baez • Quirky is sexy, like scars or chipped teeth. I also like tattoos they’re rebellious. – Jennifer Aniston • Right,” I scoffed, “Alpha Yam Ergo.” Adrian nodded solemnly. “A very old and prestigious society.” “I’ve never heard of them,” said the girl who’d claimed the first shirt. “They don’t let many people in,” he said. In white paint, he wrote his fake fraternity’s initials: AYE. “Isn’t that what pirates say?” asked one of the girls. “Well, the Alpha Yams have nautical origins,” he explained. To my horror he began painting a pirate skeleton riding a motorcycle. “Oh, no,” I groaned. “Not the tattoo.” “It’s our logo,” he said. – Richelle Mead • Say my shoe game nuts so I call em cashews Every other city it’s another Nicki tattoo – Nicki Minaj • Score a touchdown, kiss your tattoo. Kaepernicking! – Colin Kaepernick • She gets on you under your skin like a tattoo she’ll always be there! – Jason Aldean • She was clean”: no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses? – Jennifer Egan • She’s a classy girl though, at least all her tattoos are spelt right. – Chic Murray • Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past. – Jack London • So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again. – Virginia Woolf • Some people pay a thousand dollars for a tattoo. This scar cost me twenty grand. – Mat Hoffman • Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York, and that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is he’s called the Stig. – Jeremy Clarkson • Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage. – Drew Barrymore • Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bullseye. – Vince Vaughn • Tattoo. What a loaded word it is, rife with associations to goons, goofs, bikers, tribal warriors, carnival artists, drunken sailors and floozies. – Jon Anderson • Tattooing is my social life, too, so most of my time is taken up with that. People like Henry Lewis, Mike Davis at Everlasting Tattoo. – Margaret Cho • Tattoos are a right of passage. They’re a marker of bravery, of maturity, of cultural acceptance. The tattoo represents not only a willingness to accept pain – to endure it – but a need to actively embrace it. Because life is painful – beautiful but painful. – Nicola Barker • Tattoos are like stories – they’re symbolic of the important moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got each tattoo and what it symbolizes, is really beautiful. – Pamela Anderson • Tattoos are my way of expressing myself without the need for words. – Jay Park • Tattoos are permanent and a lifelong commitment, the same as marriage. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos are so widespread, so ugly and so very, very permanent. You can, in theory, have them removed – but a large chunk of your living flesh will go with it. – Tony Parsons • Tattoos aren’t meant for everybody and they’re too goddamn good for some people. – Lyle Tuttle • Tattoos exude pain and pleasure all at the same time. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos tell stories of crime and passion, punishment and regret. They express an outlaw, antiauthoritarian point of view and communicate a romantic solidarity among society’s outcasts. – Douglas Kent Hall • The ‘black metallers’ will probably continue to ‘get loaded,’ ‘get high,’ and in all other manners too behave like the stereotypical Negro; they will probably continue to get foreign tribal tattoos, dress, walk, talk, look and act like homosexuals, and so forth. – Varg Vikernes • The ‘believe’ tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe. – Ashley Tisdale • The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color. – A. J. McLean • The conservatism is extraordinary to me; just compare the way they dress to the way their parents dress. There are still no tattoos or piercings, which is interesting to me. Why does everyone who lives in one place dress alike, look alike, eat the same thing, and decorate the same way? – Tina Barney • The first five years of my career, I was Inmate #1, Bad Guy #1 and Mean Guy #1. I had a great career going, until somebody told me that I was typecast. I said, “Well, what’s typecast?” And they said, “Well, you’re always playing the mean Chicano dude with tattoos.” I thought about that and I said, “Wait a minute! I am the mean Chicano dude with tattoos, so somebody is getting it right.” – Danny Trejo • The first tattoo I got was when I was 17, and it’s a cross on my bicep with ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ underneath. – Trey Songz • The first time I showed the tattoo it was big news in the newspaper. ‘She has a tattoo with a snake.’ It’s not a snake! – Li Na • The funny thing is that my husband couldn’t be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He’s got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he’s around you, he’s such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans. – Malin Akerman • The funny thing is, when a Harley-Davidson guy full of tattoos comes out with a Maltese, they’re trying to soften themselves out. When a very soft, single lady with a tailored look comes out with a Rottweiler, she’s looking for protection, for strength. Society automatically views the guy as too strong so he brings a Maltese. It’s just a natural way to balance your situation. It really depends. – Cesar Millan • The justification for rap rock seems to be that if you take really bad rock and put really bad rap over it, the result is somehow good, provided the raps are barked by an overweight white guy with cropped hair and forearm tattoos. – John Jeremiah Sullivan • The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat; The soldier’s last tattoo; No more on Life’s parade shall meet; The brave and fallen few. On Fame’s eternal camping-ground; Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round; The bivouac of the dead. – Theodore O’Hara • The one album I can’t live without is called ‘Cumbolo’ by a band called Culture. Every song on their album is deep, but there’s one in particular called ‘This Train.’ I have a tattoo of the lyrics on my left arm. – Idris Elba • The one in the movie is not real, but my Casper tattoo is real, and it is my only one. – Casper Van Dien • The other day, I got a henna tattoo that says “Forever.” – Zach Galifianakis • The tattoo can only exist as part of the skin, as a drawing always is an incision in the material and therefore cannot be parted from it. – Antoni Tapies • The tattoo has a profound meaning: the superficiality of modern man’s existence. – Anthony Daniels • The tattoo of the History is permanent; once a nation or a man is marked by this tattoo, erasing is impossible. – Mehmet Murat Ildan • The universality of tattooing is a curious subject for speculation. – James Cook • There is something in the act of having tattoos done that I love. It can be quite addictive. I’ve got a few on my back because my friend is an artist, and a few on my arms. Every time I pass a tattoo parlour, I think, ‘Maybe just a tiny one. – Lena Headey • There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked. – Lena Dunham • There’s never the right last moment. Even if you get to say good-bye, even if you get to say “I love you”, even if you jump off a plane and get a tattoo and hug everyone you’ve ever met right before you drift off with a smile, it is never the right last moment. There is always more to say, somewhere to go, something to remember. Another discussion, another fight. There is always supposed to be another day. – Pamela Ribon • This is so cool,” I said loudly as Dad walked away. “Have you met the tattoo artist? Is he hot?” “He’s a she,” Mom said. “Is she hot? Cause I’m still young, you know. My sexual identity isnt fully formed.” “Your father can’t hear you anymore, Maya.” Mom sighed. – Kelley Armstrong • This was a place where tattoos outnumbered teeth. – Harlan Coben • To many people, dramatic criticism must seem like an attempt to tattoo soap bubbles. – John Mason Brown • Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you’ve made a self-discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about. – Angelina Jolie • We all originally came from the woods! it is hard to eradicate from any of us the old taste for the tattoo and the war-paint; and the moment that money gets into our pockets, it somehow or another breaks out in ornaments on our person, without always giving refinement to our manners. – Edwin Percy Whipple • We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • We have certain rules for traditional lyric poetry in Korea. I twist my body, confused by what to say and how to act, facing these rules. Confronting traditional lyricism, I speak with a bare body without the tattoos of culture on it. – Kim Hyesoon • Well, I love tattoos and have been drawing them on my binders in school since I was little. – Kimberly Caldwell • Well, these tattoos aren’t really rebellion. These tattoos are all tattoos I’ve had since I have been a pastor. – Jay Bakker • What we’ve said to the girls is: ‘If you guys ever decide that you’re going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place.’ And we’ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo. – Barack Obama • When all the people covered in tattoos turn about 70 years old, they’re going to look like a strange race of melting clowns. – Dana Gould • When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there’s light pollution and fog, and I couldn’t see my star. So I drew it on my wrist with a pen, but it kept washing away. Then I went to a tattoo parlor on Second Avenue and had it done. – Gisele Bundchen • When I’m good, I’m very good. But when I’m bad I’m better. – Mae West • When you’re young, you’re stupid. You do silly things. I did it (the O-Z-Z-Y tattoo across his knuckles) when I was 14. I was in jail for something. I could have had it removed, but why? It’s my trademark. People stop me and say, ‘Let me have a look at your hand.’ – Ozzy Osbourne • White folks are not going to come to see a bunch of guys with tattoos, with cornrows. I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks different, they’re stupid. – Charles Barkley • You are such a chick.” I widened my eyes in mock surprise. “No way. Are you sure?” Sighing again, he rubbed at the tattoos on his wrist. “Mackenzie was right. You aren’t slayer material.” Before he had time to register my intentions, I threw a punch. My sore, swollen knuckles slammed into his cheekbone, thrusting his head to the side. Pain shot up my arm, but I bit my tongue to stop a moan. “You were saying?” He popped his jaw, rubbed at the reddening skin-and slowly grinned. “Okay, so now I understand why Cole likes you. You’re worse than Kat. – Gena Showalter • You can’t judge a book by its cover, though. People think I’m bad because I got tattoos or snort a little cocaine here and there. They think I’m a killer. But what if I wasn’t a killer? Then what? Don’t be tripping on me. I pay my damn taxes, OK? Chill.- Gunplay • You have to have your face in the food. These days people think a tattoo and a bottle of Sriracha equals success. – Bobby Flay • You have to think hard with a tattoo. ‘What will I love for the rest of my life?’ – Kate Upton • You may be right. I think it was round about Christmas when I got my Welsh dragon tattoo.” At that, Tessa had to try very hard not to blush. “How did that happen?” Will made an airy gesture with his hand. “I was drunk…” “Nonsense. You were never really drunk.” “On the contrary—in order to learn how to pretend to be inebriated, once must become inebriated at least once, as a reference point. Six-Fingered Nigel had been at the mulled cider—“ “You can’t mean there’s truly a Six-Fingered Nigel? – Cassandra Clare • Your tattoos are supposed to be some connection to your personality. That’s a lot more important than going in and just picking one off a wall. I’ve never understood why people get butterflies tattooed on their bottoms or whatever. That’s really weird. – Ville Valo • You’re like a philosopher with tattoos. – J.A. Redmerski

SOA:  Sins of Our Fathers Part 3: Road Trip
Kari, then, said something that infuriated Jax.  She said, “We are going on a road trip today. There is a really good tattoo artist in Arkansas that can cover your tattoos with something so that you no longer have Jax Teller’s ink.  Arkansas is far enough away that no one will think about what we doing with the tattoos.” Jax jumped up and slammed his hands on the table. “Listen, Lady!  I fucking will not give up my ink just because your friend, Danny, was a pussy and a tight ass. I earned every bit of the ink I have on my body.  I refuse to give it up.  Fuck you!”  Kari fired right back at him and said, “How in the fuck are you going to explain the word Thomas on your forearm?  Who the fuck is Thomas to Danny?  Why the fuck did he mean so much to Danny that he tatted his arm with his name? Listen here, you little shit.  I could give a fuck about how you earned your ink.  I earned my freedom and I will damn sure not give it up because you are being a dick. I understand that these tattoos represent important people in your life.  I assume Thomas and Abel are your kids.  I assume the person who is resting in peace is your dad. The ones on your back are self-explanatory.  In the academy, we actually study the known organized crime of the SOA and how most of them are evading the law.  So now, Danny Weir, why do you have these tattoos?  What are their purpose? Do you have a fucking answer, Danny?  If so, please feel free to tell me.”  Jax just looked up and said, “Fuck!!! What do you suggest, all-knowing master?  Please fucking tell me!”  Kari, very calmly walked over to Jax, hugged him, and said, “This is how you protect Abel and Thomas. You protect them by hiding them.  If anyone finds out that you are not Danny, we both go down and your sons, your family, and your club will be completely exposed to outside scrutiny. I know you do not want that.”  Jax took both fists and hit the table.  He knew that Kari was right.  She was just protecting everyone. He finally sat down and then comply asked, “What do you suggest? There will not be a reason for you to be shirtless at work. Besides the SAMCRO tattoos on your back would be too much to cover without doing a blackout.  Besides, that would mean that you are former SAMCRO and it still gets us busted.  So keep you damn shirt on. The tattoo of Thomas’s name can be covered with a Celtic tribal sleeve.  The tattoo on the front of your chest that says Abel we could do a cover of a crow flying. It will still honor where you came from but it will also have a separate meaning for Danny.  The crow comes at the time of death.  Danny beat death so he captured the crow on his chest.  On the Rest in Peace tattoo we could change it very little by just putting Dad, on the tombstone, rather than John J.T. Teller. I have gave it some thought.  I also thought you, if you want to, could have Abel and Thomas’s names tattooed near your groin area.  If someone gets that far, I don’t think that the secret will matter, if ya get me.”  Jax looked at the table, beaten, and said, “Okay, let’s do this.” Kari felt so miserable that she had hurt him with the reality of what must be done.  She knew that this move would be almost as painful as the death that Danny actually suffered under the semi when he was ground into the pavement.  
Jax finished his breakfast in silence.  He just stared and picked at the food.  Kari looked at the time.  It was nearly 7:30am.  She said, “I’m gonna hit the shower and get dressed.  I know this has to be extremely hard on you.”  Kari took a really deep breath and let it out.  She made the decision to give the let Jax use her late husband’s most prized possession. “Do you know anything about mechanics? Particularly, motorcycle mechanics? My husband had a bike.  Actually, he had several.  The one that was his favorite I kept.  He has been gone about a year so it will probably need some help to get started and running.  If you want to look at it, it is covered in the garage.  You can see if you can tinker with it so we can go for a ride to the tattoo artist, if you like.  I remember how much I enjoyed riding bitch with him.  It was amazing.” Kari teared up a little as she headed to the shower.
The garage was full of shit but he saw the glimmer of chrome under a cover. Jax lifted the cover and saw a 2016 Harley Davidson Street Glide CVO.  It was a beautiful bike, colored in orange lava flames and a flat black under color.  This fucking bike had everything on it.  He wondered why her husband had such a beautiful bike.  He also did not understand how come she did not ride it. He checked out all of the fluids, tire pressure, etc. and the bike was perfect and pristine.  He hopped on it and sat there for a minute remembering that you do not sit on another man’s bike.  About that time, Kari came into the garage.  Her long red hair tied back at the base of her long neck, her makeup done minimally but it made her beautiful face glow.  She was wearing a pair of tight jeans, boots, and a v-neck Harley t-shirt. He stared at two things.  Her beautiful figure that just jumped out of the outfit.  The other was her sparkling green eyes.  He had never seen eyes so green.  She hopped on the bike and put on her helmet.  She handed Jax her late husband’s helmet.  Jax said, “A true biker is never supposed to sit on another man’s bike.”  Kari said, “My husband said this to me.  It always made me chuckle.  He said the two most beautiful things in his life were me and his motorcycle and both of then needed to be rode regularly after he was gone.  He trusted me to make the decision about who should ride both. I am choosing you.  You have given up so much to become Danny.  I thought that this was the only gesture I could give you to make you still have some of yourself left.”   Jax gave a really sly little grin and said, “Darlin’, you are even more beautiful than the bike you are letting me ride.  I would take it as an honor to ride both.”  Kari blushing slapped him across the back of the neck and said, “I was referring to the bike, Dumbass.  It take a lot more than your good looks, charm, and sexy little grin to get atop this carnival ride. It is a ride you would not forget, if you ever had the honor”  
Jax and Kari started out on a long ride to the tattoo parlor in Northern Arkansas.  Kari loved to ride behind David.  She felt so close to him on the back of the bike.  She wrapped her arms around Jax. She closed her eyes and remembered the smell of David’s hair and his cologne.  For a moment, it felt as if David was still with her.  She hated to admit that she was attracted to Jax.  He looked like the David that she had seen in pictures, the one who had sewn his wild oats long before she came into the picture.  She loved hearing his stories about his outlaw life.  She realized that the man sitting on the front of this bike came from the same outlaw life that she had heard David speak of.  She looked at Jax and remembered that he had the same ice blue eyes that her husband had.  She could get lost in the pools of solace and misunderstanding.  She realized that she was beginning to have feelings for him. She kept telling herself that she could not.  She told herself that he was no longer the charming President of the SOA.  He was Danny Weir, her best friend and the cousin of her late husband.  She did not like the feelings that he was stirring inside of her.  She told herself that this was just to honor Danny.   She also realized that this was the lie she was telling herself because deep down she liked his charming, flirtatious ass.  She closed her eyes again and just enjoyed the ride and being close to Jax. Jax said, “Hell, I have never seen a motorcycle with GPS on it before.  It was cool as shit to have to bike know exactly where it is going.” Jax really hated to admit it but he realized that Kari was not a bad person.  He had to admit that he liked having her arms around him, smelling her perfume, and feeling the softness of her touch against his body.  It was such a smooth ride that he almost forgot that Kari was there on a mission.  She was not one of the crow eaters.  She was not anyone’s old lady.  She was different.  She was the kind of woman who never was around people like him.  She was a classy woman and a mouthy broad at the same time. She was just the kind of woman he wanted now.  Kari was a woman who would never give him the time of day.  She must be snuggled into his back because she was remembering what it was like to hold her old man.  He understood that feeling.  When a woman rode on the back of a bike with him, all he thought about was Tara and how he felt when she held him from behind.  Both of them had lost the loves of their lives.  That was a bond that Kari and Jax would always have.  Rather than admit it, they both would rot in hell before they acknowledge it.  
After about three hours on the back of the bike, Kari told Jax to find a place to stop.  He pulled over to the side of the road, just for meanness.  He knew that she needed to go to the restroom.  He just wanted to see how she would fucking react, if he just pulled over.  Kari just sat there and stared at him for a second.  She then said, “What am I supposed to do here?”  Jax said, “Whatever you want to, Darlin’.  You were the one who wanted to stop.”  Jax snickered under his breath.  Kari said, “Unlike you, I require indoor plumbing to take a piss. Why are you being so ornery?”  By this time, Jax was laughing hard. Jax said, “Because I can, Sweetie. Because I can.”  He fired the motorcycle back up and stopped at the next gas station.  Kari nearly jumped off of the motorcycle and ran inside.  Jax stayed outside, laughing his ass off.  Jax filled up the motorcycle with gas.  She came out carrying two bottles of water and a large piece of beef jerky.  She offered Jax one of the bottles of water, and she handed him the piece of beef jerky after she tore a piece off of it.  Kari stuck her tongue out at him and said, “Ladies first.” Jax said, “I will remember that when I see one.” Kari made and ugly face at him and told him to get his ass back on the bike.

What Your Sunglasses Tell Her About You
If your eyes are the windows to your soul, what kind of message are you sending with your shades? As with the rest of what you’ve put together, your sunglasses speak volumes about your personal style. Are you a mirrored man of mystery or more of a shade seeking sports enthusiast? Do you even know why you're supposed to need polarized lenses? Remember, if she’s interested, she’ll want to make eye contact, and while trying to catch your attention she’ll be staring right at the sunglasses sitting on your nose. Do you feel confident that your choice in frames best represents the man behind the lenses? Here are some basic tips when choosing the best style glasses for you.
Know What You're Doing
Stick to frames that flatter your face. The right pair can make you look even more handsome. If you have strong chiseled face shape, a rounded or curved style can soften your appearance while keeping it masculine. In contrast, square and rectangular shaped sunglasses are well suited for round and oval face shapes, to help add a little shape and structure. Wear a pair that enhances your best features. When in doubt, ask for multiple opinions. 
Take a selfie. The hardest thing about shopping for sunglasses is not being able to tell how they look, because well, you’re wearing sunglasses. Try on a few different options and take a selfie. The picture will show you exactly how she’ll see you in the frames. And you’ll have a side-by-side comparison if torn between styles. A lot of sights online now offer the ability to upload a photo and see what different options look like on your face. Take the extra time and do it. 
Be iconic. When it comes to men's sunglasses, you don't have to chase after the latest fashion trend or designer frames to be relevant. She’ll be more impressed if you’re donning a pair that has staying power. Iconic frames like the aviator and Wayfarer have been around this long for a reason, and both shapes are universally flattering and easy to wear. Don't overthink it. If you know these look good, then go with them. It's amazing how a good pair of sunglasses can boost your confidence. 
We asked the ladies to spot us and threw in some suggestions to get you started.
Jersey Shore Or Sure Thing?
“Nothing screams I’m an uncool tool louder than wearing your sunglasses at night," says Shannon, 25, an entrepreneur. “It’s a deal breaker, both in business and in love, if I can’t see the eyes of the person I want to merge with.” Whether you’re turning up all night or relaxing by the pool all day, looking her in the eye is important and shows you have good manners. Obviously, if you’re driving or if your date includes a day at the beach, it’s more acceptable to keep your shades on. Shannon adds, “besides, it’s kind of a cool move when a guy lifts his sunglasses and draws me in with his eyes to chat.”

The Real Deal Or Cheap Knockoff?
“Personally, I would never cheap out on something that I’m wearing on my face. But, if you’re the kind of guy that’s losing his sunglasses every other day, investing in super expensive designer frames is a complete waste of money,” says Meredith, 30, a teacher. We hear you. Sunglasses can be expensive, and there is a reason for that, and it's not all about the latest brand name or what's in style. Good lenses provide UV protection and can even eliminate the harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage your retinas and corneas. You’re definitely not getting glare reducing polarized lenses with a pair of five dollar frames, but you don't have to pay an arm and a leg either. These solid inexpensive options should get the job done.

On Trend Or Outdated?
The retro-future style is one of the latest trends with the ladies right now, but what do they think of the look on you? "When a pair of sunglasses look like they are part of a costume they have to go," says Sophia, 20, a student. "To me, a wacky pair of shades is just a cry for attention. I like when a guy wears the sunglasses, not when the sunglasses wear him. There is nothing better than a pair of Ray-Bans.” That doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with your sunglasses. Again, go back to what suits the shape of your face best and lean into a more modern style. If you aren’t sure, aviators look good on just about everyone.

Warby Parker Harris Sunglasses
$95.00 at WarbyParker.com
Channeling Hipster Or Hippy?
As with everything, what’s old is new again. Round glasses are trending, but which round frames should be considered the pair of the moment? Are they the John Lennon signature wire specs from the 60s and 70s like this pair from Moscot? Or how about an acetate pair like Gucci's modern twist on the trend? “I feel the same about sunglasses as I do about jeans. I get the retro trend, and I love the 70s, but I don't want my man walking around in bell-bottoms. I always go for the updated version when a style makes a repeat performance,” says Jenna, fashion merchandiser, 30.

Mirror On The Wall Or Fairest Of Them All?
Is that me, looking at you, looking at me? "I can't lie," says Lorraine, 28 a designer, "it doesn't take long for me to get completely distracted by my own reflection in my husband's pair of mirrored shades. So, of course, I like them!" But mirrored lenses are good for more than just reapplying lip-gloss. The reflective coating reduces the amount of light that reaches your eye through your glasses and in turn, reduces the glare. Mirrored lenses like the new Lave Tube style from Maui Jim also protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Or go full FBI style, with a pair of mirrored aviators from Randolph and she'll certainly be impressed.

Pro Athlete Or Striking Out?
No matter what your sport, you can find a pair of athletic sunglasses that will enhance your vision and up your game. Need to track a ball in the sky, reel in a three hundred pound tuna, or race a sailboat? There’s a lens for that! “The neon colors can be a little much, but if he’s actually doing the activity, then I can give a guy some room. I’m for them if his sunglasses are actually helping him perform. But driving around town with one of those oversized shields across his face just because, would be a big no thank you,” says Diana, 22, a student. You heard her. If you’re posing instead of participating, those sporty shades scream douche. Treat your sports sunglasses the same way you would the rest of your gear: special and separate. You don’t walk around wearing your golf glove, do you?

Sugar Daddy Or Creepy Old Man?
“Not to throw shade, but I hate when older guys try to hide their age with a pair of sunglasses," says, Dylan, 26, a baker. “There’s nothing more desperate than a dude in their 50s creeping on my me and my girlfriends from behind a dark pair of shades. So gross! But I’m not going to lie, if he’s rocking an expensive pair of aviators, a hot sports car and some expensive dinners can’t be far behind. A girl’s got to eat, am I right?” She’s right. Expensive sunglasses, much like expensive shoes, convey a lifestyle. Know your audience. A tatted up biker chick may prefer brands like Chrome Hearts, while trendier fashion gals are more impressed by the perfect pair of Tom Fords.
