Sly's new tatoos

[roccobalboa]

Anyone see them on his upper arm and shoulders? Why ... at age 62? I also notice his clothes and accesories ..... he is trying to hang on to youth ......... not a bad thing, I guess.

You sure they're not fake tattoos for an upcoming movie like with "Get Carter"? I have not seen any pictures of him with tattoos as of late.

It was in the papers ............... he was eating with Kate Moss .......... google it

Well, I say why not? I mean, at his age he isn't trying to impress the chicks, nor does he need to, it's probably self-expression. I don't see it as a function of age.

yeah .......... but they are huge. Late mid life thing

I agree about how age is irrelevent. I mean at 62 he probably has more to express than he did 20, 30 years ago! Go for it Sly! I havent seen them though. Anyway, what I wanna know is......what the heck is Sly doin eating with Kate Moss??!!

Agreed. The conception that tattoos are a desperate grab to "prove" something or feel like more of a man (or woman even!) is pretty much false. Sure, it's true for some idiots who go out on a bender and get inked 'cause it's "cool" or whatever, but for many people, it's a sincere expression of... well... just about anything: religion, faith, personal beliefs, passion, personality, sexuality, what have you.

I know that if I make it through my first tour in the Coast Guard and decide to re-up, I'm going to get the Coast Guard seal tattooed somewhere inconspicuous. It's a point of pride for me.

As Mrs B said, Sly probably just has a lot to express: probably way more than when he was 20.
