That comic kind of annoys me, mainly because while barbed wire bicep tattoos are clearly pretty lame (along with other boring flash stuff), it's kind of adding to this false idea that some tattoos are more worthy than others. Obviously there are good tattoos and bad tattoos in terms of the quality of the work but acting like it's ok to harangue people based on decisions they've made about their own bodies seems counter-productive to me.
Lines:
*Insert video from X-Men: The Last Stand of Magneto explaining why he has no tattoos*
I mean, some people have tattoos because they want them and some have them for other reasons. One reason really isn't better than the other.

Not a good XKCD; the alt text too. If the bullet that went in your leg had gone in your heart it would have killed you too - so what? And the intensity of radiotherapy is critical - if you spread it out with less precision, it would do less damage because it would no longer reach the effective dose; so kill a horse? (Yes, I use to sell a software package for planning radiotherapy, so I learnt a bit about it.)
And my dots are not "worthy". They were pragmatic; but they may also have contributed in a small way to the breakdown of my first marriage (she saw them as a constant reminder that I was now in her view "damaged goods", as I had lost one testis to the cancer).
Zingoleb:
I've been thinking, and I object to the use of 'der' in naming this thread. Tattoos don't have to be inherently masculine! In fact, the word 'tattoo' is a feminine noun in German. So there!
