Tattoos!

I suppose the libertarians and the republicans will want a tattoo place in PTC if it makes money, and if we get one approved our planned way of life will be extinguished!
Oh, help us, help us!
Driving from Fayetteville on GA85 through Riverdale just to see if this would be good for our 54/74 corridor in PTC, it didn't look as bad as one might have heard!
All citizens must be served.
There is an obvious need for pawn shops with their bright colors and tacky signs as there were several. Title loans and pay-day loans shops must be in desperate need! Besides, our state government in Atlanta has re-approved these shyster operations.
We will need all kinds of chicken restaurants--hot and spicy chicken, fried chicken, deep-fried chicken, chicken wings, and chicken strip places, all.
Also, the buffet type restaurants where one can stick a dozen steaks and chicken pieces into a large purse for supper are very popular. We need some. One must clean their shoes, shower, and wash your clothes however when you get home!
Dirt paths will be needed along the highways in PTC for walking. They seem to have those everywhere. I suppose it is hard to keep a car running on $3.00 gasoline and taxes!
Several of the so-called discount tin buildings are also necessary it seems. Ones with no grass around them and dirty benches on the porch. Gives the impression of a bargain for the out of date batteries and goods that didn't sell stuff. I think 3 would suffice here.
We need to go to overhead electrical and phone wiring here. It appears naked in PTC without them, looking like the wiring in Baghdad! (we blew up the old wires).
Sign that always point in the wrong direction after having been bent out of shape seem to be a part of a city also. Most of ours are straight now and look odd. A few bullet holes add to the decoration.
We need a mall like Southlake. All kinds of lonnnng shirts, dude formals, sideways hats, and boom boxes.
They don't seem to pick up the trash along side the road and in the back of businesses---could this be a money-saver? Why is everything nasty and greasy? Are we missing something?
I am not being a smart-A, I am describing what my trip showed, and I see no reason why we don't just let the developers go ahead and make it happen!
After all there must be money in it for SOMEBODY!

You Sir are very narrow-minded. You should leave this little insignificant PTC bubble occasionally. If you did, you would see that people other than thugs, Hells Angels, gang members, and prisoners have tattoos. The paranoid mentality and the racist undertones became “not cool” about 20 years ago when leg-warmers went out. It’s a business, like any other business. They will choose to business, where there is a demand for their products or services. They obviously see a demand here.

Your Typical White, Upper-class, 30-something, College Educated, Married, Tattoo’d PTC resident.

Do you think society is going down the toilet or what?

Here we have people debating tatoos.

Give me a break. I'd rather live in India and work in a call center for $4 per hour.

Please explain this to me - why does anyone need a tatoo?

Sometimes tatoos are a healing process for people... people dealing with grief, or to memorialize someone or a milestone in their life. I'm glad we have a right to jaw -on about tatoos, toenails, district voting, etc. if we so choose to.
If you would like to work in India and not see tatoo debates anymore, Delta is ready when you are, sweetheart.

-Do you think society is going down the toilet or what?-

Yeah, but what can you do about it? Not too much.

-Here we have people debating tatoos.-

Not really debating tattoo's at all. I am just pointing out a tattoo joint does not mean the end of the world is coming. It doesn't call for all the racist undertones and snide remarks. It's obvious that this individual doesn't get out of PTC too often and hasn't been for quite some time. Tattoos are fairly common, almost mainstream now days. If it's not your style, don't get one. But watching someone rant-on about how a tattoo shop in this jewl of a city is the end of society as we know it, is a bit silly. Give me a break. Tennis visors, women rockin the FUPA's, and men hiking their pants up to their nipples (while having phones clipped to their belts) went out of style 15 years ago. But if people want to rock that still, that's their call.

-Give me a break. I'd rather live in India and work in a call center for $4 per hour.-

OK, your point?

-Please explain this to me - why does anyone need a tatoo?-

If you need to ask, it's not your thing. Why do people get their ears pierced? Why style your hair? Why wear a hat? No real purpose (except during WW2 and in some gangs), just another form of style.

This subject is no more or less relevent than 90% of the crap debated on this site. So...I'll answer your question. One does not "need" a tattoo. Likewise, one does not "need" $5.00 cups of coffee, crappy $11.00 haircuts or untidy scrapbooking facilities (or whatever that awful place is on Hwy 54 with the Christmas lights up all year)...but they are all offered here. Just because some of you (or us, whatever the case) don't patronize these businesses, don't demean those that do. A tattoo is a personal expression...expressed in a public way (if it's in plain sight). If you don't have one, you'd never understand anyway. Mine remind me of the significance of the time of my life I got them...divorce (freedom) and birthdays. And if they don't mean anything to anyone else but me, great. I didn't get them for you. As for going to India...I'm sure those red dots on women's forehead's and the henna tattoos on their hands would really set you off.
