Some people have tattoos. Some people are white trash. Those two groups don’t always overlap. There are people with tattoos that aren’t white trash, just like there’s white trash out there without tattoos. Obviously, having a tattoo immediately designates you as ‘tattooed’. More importantly, does a tattoo make you white trash? Maybe. If you’re actually white, you live in a trailer with wood paneling on the walls, you have a mullet, you operate a meth lab, and a there’s an army of lawn ornaments outside of the trailer; then yes, indeed, having a tattoo qualifies you as tattooed white trash. If your tattoos include the names of more than two women, the names of children from more than two different women,  a pot leaf, or any representation of your favorite brand of beer or cigarettes, you are unquestionably tattooed white trash. Possibly even white trash royalty. Of course these are just some measures of white trash, and having a tattoo could be an indicator of white trashiness, but it’s not a deciding factor. On the other hand, if you have good looking ink on your body that has more meaning than “I was hammered and my old lady thought it looked sexy”, your white trash status can be questioned.

How does all that tie together with this site? I’m not entirely sure yet. I have tattoos, and some things I do could be considered white trash. For example, I don’t back down from a can of Skoal, I’d rather be barefoot than have shoes on any day, and I thought Britney looked hot with her head shaved. I also have college degrees, a decent job, and only one baby-mama, so I’m not full-fledged white trash either, but some where in between.
