    The pockets work out well for the crap I carry. The lower uncovered cargo pocket is great for a small sap. Just sayin'.
    It's kind of funny how police uniform sap pockets have made a comeback in the form of cell phone pockets. I really appreciate them on my Kuhl Slax pants, I find they're either usually too big or very low on many.

    Today, I saw a gentleman with one arm being completely blue, the other with a sleeve, hand tats, neck tats, face tats. He didn't look happy.

    He was busing the tables at Cracker Barrel as I enjoyed French toast and the discussion of what was wrong with the world with a group of 70 year olds.

    BIG jump going from sleeves to neck and especially face tats.

    Many Marines have sleeves, and have for years even before Gun Culture 2.0. Many police officers have sleeves. Lots of professional people have sleeves. Lots of people in my job have sleeves. They're not in any way, whatsoever, a controversial tattoo to have these days. They're fairly mainstream, tons of soccer moms have sleeves. My wife is an industrial hygienist and is one of 3 at her office of ~10 people who have sleeves.

    Face tats are definitively an indicator that you likely don't earn your income through legal means......nowhere near the same universe as sleeves.

    Fundamentalist Protestant missionaries are getting sleeve tats these days.

    Not me- detracts from my collection of scars.

    Attitudes are changing a bit, when I used google scholar to see what's up on attitudes. It's an interesting voir dire problem. A few years ago, our college president wrote a column for the school newspaper saying that tats made you look like a sleaze bag. Many letters to the editor from the young objecting to it.

    So if he were on your jury - oops. I don't see the purpose though of an entirely blue arm. Also, many of them are aesthetically crap - just a random bunch of skulls, demons and knives. No real compostion, use of negative space or real color combos. I've seen some beautiful done floral arrangements on women or even the Asian dragon motifs or deities. Random skull crap - Meh.

    Was.

    Awesome.

    Did you collect the scars in PNG, or just in general life events of being Florida Man?

    I thought about having some extra scars tattooed on me to boost my cred. But then I remembered I just don’t give a shit about scars or tats. The only thing I care about is if some dude has a better beard than me. Fortunately, Ruination ain’t giving me a run for my money at all.

    Totally with you on the quality of many tattoos.

    Still, nobody cares about you and your high and mighty college bullshit. Tons of people wear sleeve tats that made more money and contributed more to society in their lifetime than a bunch of snotty college professors looking down on someone who's providing your food.

    Bit of both. There's a pretty big one on my left shin from my first year in PNG. Someone left a 55 gal drum pan on a dark path, and I hit it, and sliced off a good chunk of skin. Then a nice burn from a motorcycle tailpipe (also PNG) that almost obscures a scar from a time I got stitched up. I've got a pretty long one on my left index finger from opening a green coconut (without watching where the finger was).

    From Florida, there's the ACL scar, and a shin scar from a slow speed motorcycle flop on sugar sand.

    Most of them are on my left shin for some reason.

    I was in the courthouse one day. The lobby was crowded because juvie court was going on and everyone had to wait outside.

    From another courtroom, they brought a grown kid in jailhouse orange, shackles and leg irons, The kid had facial tattoos, including the tip of his nose. After he went into the elevator with the escorting deputy, I said to another lawyer: "That kid ought to just go ahead and commit his Class A felony and get it over with."
