The “Old Jews Telling Jokes” tattoo is the title and logo of a current off-Broadway play. That guy probably worked on the show or is a big fan. It’s like a teenage girl getting a RENT logo. That photo seems out of place with the rest of these, especially since the caption seems to credit him with the “unique” design.
OJTJ was actually a web series and then a book, both several years before the off-Broadway play inspired by them.
I know a lot of Tribes here in our place with a lot of tattoos with very unique designs not the usual ones. And I like it!
An interesting collection of old designs, interesting choices to have as tattoos.
Well I think it is completely right that tattoos are for all ages, and of course some people may have them when they are younger and still have them now theare older.
I’m a huge fan of tattoos and tattoo art. Although some of these pictures were interesting, I was surprised to see so many pictures depicting gang and prison tats without explanations of what they are, or what they mean. Two examples, spider web on the neck, each line of the web represents a year spent in prison. The man with the picture of Stalin behind him, his tattoos are almost entirely traditional Russian gang tats. There were others, like the Russian woman with the ‘religious’ tattoos. Russian gangs and organized crime have, for a very long time, used religious symbols in many, if not most, of their tattoos.
