Roses are not gay

Just to be clear fellas roses are not gay. In the last few weeks we have had some strait up knuckle heads come in to the shop and said exactly that. Like this guy comes in and shows me this really bad cross done by his buddy and he's like "what can you do for me?" So I say "what do you want" and he says "I don't know your the artist". I say "alright how about some roses." He steps back looks at me sideways and says "Roses? ain't that some gay shit?" When did this happen back in the day bikers, boxers, dock workers all the tough guys got rose tattoos. Not to mention every tattooist I've ever met has at least one rose tattooed some were on their body. If this were an one time thing i wouldn't think much of it but this has happened at least five times in the last month. So stop with the urban legend crap that's what happened with the lower back tattoo some punk some where started calling it a tramp stamp and now a nice peace of skin has become taboo. The moral of this tail is tattoos are about you not what other people think.
