If yo status ain't hood

Today it's all about ink when did this fad become so popular,or is it even a fad at all may be the actual question to pose, from understanding it use to be more of a gang affiliated thing. Now not only the gang members but rappers, even models have their bodies marked up like a subway in Harlem. Tattoos have begun to appeal to people from every walk of life...tattoo parlors are experiencing a growth trend due to three major changes in the tattoo industry: a greater number of tattoo ink colors, the fact that fine artists are entering the field and the proliferation of celebrity tattoos...because many famous, high profile people in music and sports have tattoos, they have become more socially acceptable."Professional athletes had a lot to do with the mainstreaming of tattoos," the Post said. "They made them visible, socially acceptable and desirable." Sports Illustrated noted: "Tattoos have become the sport's world's most flaunted form of self-expression. Ten years ago, only boxers or wrestlers had visible tattoos; today, they are everywhere, in every sport.In 1997, when it conducted a preseason survey of all 29 NBA teams, the Associated Press reported that 35.1% of all NBA players had tattoos. Professional sports observers estimate that similar percentages of America's national league football, hockey and baseball players also have tattoos. Aside from raising the visibility of tattoos, these legions of sports figures -- who also constitute one of the country's largest groups of millionaires.(SWAG)From my personal standpoint all of my tatts have meaning I dunno if I'm ever gonna be completely inked but I have 8 now and I plan on getting a couple more before the end of summer.(SWAG)

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal.

Drew Vision Talks “Date Beyond” & “Big Little Lies” for VDay 2025

First and foremost thank you!!!! Now I’m not sure if you are familiar with Comospolitan magazine, well this setup for V-day is that from a guy’s perspective I love that you decided to bring up dating and relationships because as guys, we never really have the forum to really express that. With that being said what is your ideal first date and why…. Yeah, men can never express! And we’re expected not to have feelings so for most of my life, I didn’t, but I’ve been tapped in lately. For a first date I think it should be something very casual because the stakes shouldn’t be high. My ideal first date is something in nature like a scenic walk or a picnic. The reason is because nobody should be spending money on someone you don’t know and also it shouldn’t be somewhere loud because I think the conversation is the most important thing. Is it ok to ask what your dating situation is like gender wise, and how do you really know if you’re attracted to that person or is it just ...
