Interesting statistic;
people with more than 5 tats are twice as likely to die a violent death as persons without.

Seems like soccer stars must not be that great of athletes as they are rather tatoo free
You don't watch much do you? I can't think of many who don't have visible tatts.

Another way for mindless sheep to waste their $$$$$$
Buy tats, cigs, weed, booze, and drive a gas guzzling monster truck
then blame the economy for your problems.
gee! how "alternative"
alternative to what?
throw in some hockey puck earings
a stand-up paddle board
a cross fit bumper sticker
a tough mudder T-shirt
and your a bad-as rebel
Now,
get in line.

you can beat the odds with a non-violent suicide.
I always thought that nitrous oxide would be a cool way to end terminal illness.

I was just hearing last night that tats are now considered passe and the earmark of posers and Nancy boys and the only rubes who think otherwise gots scads of tats.
Come up with semi-perm tat and you be a millionaire

If they do may you a better climber, someone is gonna still come along and pull harder.
And the nurses will still laugh at the ink you have on you when you get to the old climber's home.

After my experiences at Facelift, I am now thinking of having this applied to my left forearm, where I can read it. A memo-to-self to keep me alive and sane, if not to improve my climbing.

Norwegian, you're not ever boring, and thanks for the tradvice!
Of course tattoos help. Two are better than one, too.

If one adopted Tatoo's advice, it might or might not make one a better climber, but certain sure a better person. [Biter, they can't tatoo old wrinkled parchment.]

I was told it's true but only if the Tat's are used in conjunction with a shaved head and a goatee. I got two outta three and I still suck...
people with more than 5 tats are twice as likely to die a violent death as persons without. sooner the better.

ok - serious answer. I was in ft collins of all places, a decade ago with a fresh tat and electric purple hair, I'm in the local nepalese import shop...owner wants to talk to me about tats and hair color. we have this long, interesting conversation about the helix of life and the 4 eras humankind goes through... First they are too busy to make art, then they start drawing on the walls, then they make art for art's sake (movies, music, sculpture) then the last phase is characterized by the humans themselves being the canvass... he really was positive the latest trend in sleeves, piercings, etc is exactly this phenomena *again*...
Then we reset and are too busy to make art for a while...according to him this has been going on for eons and eons, most of us just aren't aware of the pattern since we see such a small part of it...

what about all those who performed at high levels before tatoos became popular and never had one?
it's really a stupid hypothesis on your part
the corollary is: what about all those who have tons of tatoos and don't even perform?
if you want to make it more interesting what about the interaction of EPO and tatoos
or say, heroin and tatoos
