    I'm 38 now and my 6 pack abs left about 10 years ago.....A mild gut and the beginnings man boobs have replaced it....Probably better that i leave a shirt on as to not make a spectacle of myself until i've lost all the weight I'm aiming for (35lbs so far, 40 more to go!). Now if i had that awesome art on my back instead of a couple of chinese characters (Ok...OK...It was in the 90's and EVERYONE was doing it) I might consider. Now? Um....No.

    heh

    I got real excited when I saw this thread.

    I am in no shape to go topless in public, and I have pale pale Irish skin.

    I have no tatoos on my upper body, yet. Though when I do I might go, as you said, in private or in low key areas.

    By the way, that is a fine, and might I say, huge terrapin tattoo! Nice!

    Confidence comes with age I hope!

    I do agree with Jamie. We have a high bar to reach.

    Not necessarily. I've got some age but not sure how much confidence. Mostly I think it's just caring less what people think.

    Nice tats, Ron. Do they reduce the need for sunscreen?
