Tattoo you

Just when you think you’ve heard it all, well, you haven’t.

Like the thugs in Florida who have convinced a gullible judge to hire a cosmetologist at up to $150 a day to apply makeup to cover up their thuggish tattoos during their murder trial.

Seems that if the thugs looked like thugs, with their tattoos of swastikas and cusswords standing out, well, jurors might be more inclined to convict them.

So somebody’s hard-earned tax dollars will be spent to prettify the thugs and give them that choir-boy look that goes over a lot better.

What a load of crapola.

If they didn’t want to look like scummy crooks, they shouldn’t have gotten tattoos in prominent places.

Since they did and now have buyer’s remorse, they can cover ‘em up with bandages – or slather on their own makeup!

And if that somehow violates their precious rights, which I’m sure it does, the judge could issue them the hoodies that lowlifes love to wear.

I hate to see where a precedent like this will lead, but it won’t be pretty.

Whatever happened to the phrase that thousands of judges and moms and bosses have used for years:

“You want what? Hell, no. Sit down and shut up.”

Ain't it so! Anyone who sports a Nazi tattoo has made it very clear that he is a walking threat, and needs to be locked away.

Of course an option for the state would be to make them actually say words and testify just to see how many words they can exude before the ever popular M*****f***** pops up. That's always popular with juries.

Tattoos are disease-carriers, ugly, and just plain gross. I won't go back to a cafe if the waitress or cooks are tattooed. Nasty.
