“DUDE! Hey, Cat, I’m talkin’ to ya. I got news!â€
Stupid Cat. You’ll pay attention when I poke my nose in your butt.
Barty glowered at Cat, aka Blackwatch, and squinched his eyelids to only the barest slit necessary for vision. Blackwatch had a nasty habit of aiming at Barty’s large, round eyeballs and even though Cat kept his claws sheathed, a smack in the eye . . . well, like Barty kept hearing The Mom-Person tell Jake, “it’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.†Barty liked fun and games and wanted to make sure things stayed that way — or that at least it wasn’t one of his eyes She was referring to.

One of the great debates among pet owners is identification of pets: microchip vs. tattoo, especially on dogs.
Tattoos have many adherents, and they make a good case for their side of the issue, one of the more compelling arguments being that it is prohibited for any facility using animals in research to have an animal with an ID tattoo. It’s a good reason, even though it isn’t true. It is a popularly disseminated belief that any tattooed animal is against the law for a research facility to have on premises, but that is manifestly untrue, as tattoos are one way research labs keep tabs on the animals they use. At one time, ear tattoos were fairly prevalent, but people (and I use that term loosely) who stole animals to sell to research labs would cut off ears to remove the tell-tale ID tattoo. Once this practice came to light, the preferred placement of the identifying mark moved to the inner thigh or even the belly. However, since thieves are often ignorant of the actual law and believe the prohibition to be true, a visible ID tattoo makes your pet a much less desirable target.

Tattoos cover most of Tom Preston’s forearm and curl around his neck. He is used to people judging him by the colored etchings on his skin.
But as a taxpayer and business owner, he thought City Hall would be different.
“You expect (elected officials) to be completely unbiased,” he said after the latest episode in his two-year battle to open a tattoo and body-piercing studio in Tempe. Preston and his wife, Elizabeth, left Maricopa County Superior Court this week wondering how a few neighbors could sway Tempe City Council from allowing them to open a legal business.
The legal battle began in fall 2007 when the Prestons sued Tempe for the right to open their studio after the city revoked their business permit. While Tempe says it was protecting neighbors’ rights, Preston thinks the decision was based on tattoo stereotypes.
“Policemen, teachers, firefighters, soldiers . . . have tattoos nowadays,” Preston said. “This all just seems like . . . prejudice.”

A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of a Gilbert couple’s right to open a tattoo studio in Tempe, according to court documents.
Goldwater Institute’s Clint Bolick, who represents the Tom and Elizabeth Preston, said he received notice Thursday that Judge Robert Oberbillig ruled the Tempe City Council’s decision in 2007 to revoke the Prestons business use permit was “arbitrary and capricious.”
The City Council had ruled unanimously to revoke the permit when neighbors near the proposed north Tempe location complained that the tattoo studio would add to a cluster of adult-oriented business already located in the strip mall.
Neighbors worried a tattoo studio opening alongside a liquor store, lingerie shop and bail-bonds business would lower their property values and stymie attempts to revitalize their neighborhood. The Prestons said the city based its decision on stereotypes and allowed prejudice to cloud their judgment. City officials maintain they are not discriminating against the Prestons, pointing to at least 12 tattoo studios that operate in Tempe. Tempe officials maintained the council has the authority to protect neighbors’ rights and manage development.
The ruling is “absolute jubilation” for the Prestons, who invested nearly $30,000 to open the business in 2007, Bolick said. Oberbillig also ruled that Tempe is not immune from paying damages as the city had maintained. The Prestons plan to sue the city for damages to recover the money they invested in attempting to open the business, he added.

But a judge ruled Thursday that the jury could see four photos of Oyler’s left arm.
The 38-year-old Oyler is accused of setting the October 2006 fire that killed five U.S. Forest Service firefighters in the San Jacinto Mountains, about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.
Prosecutors contend Oyler was a serial arsonist who set some two dozen blazes. He has pleaded not guilty to 45 counts, including murder and arson, and faces the death penalty if convicted.

Sorry but tattoo’s on the lower back aren’t racey by all means. I think who ever calls a tattoo on the lower back a tramp stamp needs to grow up!…I believe if the tattoo read F**k me anywhere on the body it could be considered a tramp stamp! Does anyone consider it’s easy to cover up…they don’t want it hanging out on their wedding day or streched out when they decide to have children…it’s a safe spot to put it! So to all you Stupid girls out there who have nothing better to do, humor me, what is it that makes a tattoo on the lower back, verse any other part on the body, a tramp stamp?
Best Answer – Chosen by Asker
Small minded, judgmental idiots honestly think of lower back or all tattoos as tramp stamps. It’s a catchy main stream name that is easy to remember. It’s not the tattoo, it’s the person and some time people will catch on to that and stop judging. It’s that people like to have a reason to judge without getting to know some one else and that seems to make it easier due to the sexual connection to the area. It’s like a tongue ring, nipple piercings, and any genital piercings … people are labeled as freaks, sluts, pretty much anything derogatory and uncalled for. I think it’s that the people who call those of us with these things cruel names are either afraid to do it themselves or need someone to worry about to feel good.

I have a fairly large tattoo on my shoulder blade, and I like to wear sleeveless tops. I work in a professional office and tattoos are not allowed to be seen. So every day I have to wear shirts that cover my tattoo. I live in south florida and it’s like 100 degrees everyday and shirts with sleeves don’t work out to well in this heat,. The only tattoo cover stuff I can find is makeup. I dont want to have to go through applying it every morning. I just need something that is easy on , easy off, like skin colored tape or something.
Best Answer – Chosen by Voters…
Tattoos are not acceptable in professional working environment. I have 3 but I got it on parts where it could be easily covered by a shirt. A person should always plan getting a tattoo where it can be easily hidden if wanted to.
Anyway, there is nothing except a bit band aid that will cover it up. I suggest keep wearing the shirt. You work in an office building so heat should not be a problem inside. When you get off from work change your shirt to a tank on your drive home.
