He has the right mindset: Life's a bitch, be it's pimp. I'd say that shows great life motivation and perseverance in front of challenges, don't see why he wasn't taken.

OP, I've gotta say, your son is a dumbass

And that's when you say the pimp's prayer and backhand him for being an idiot.

After you pointed this out, did he pimp slap you?

Having a pimp hand tat is appropriate if he's applying for a job as a pimp, hustla, balla, playa, or mack, although it will give them hoes a warning about which hand to watch out for.

tattoos are fine but you gotta get them where if you are dressed professionally they aren't being shown.

well isn't he a smart cookie...

It's rough out there for a pimp.

Maybe he should think about a career switch? The one I'm thinking about is writing all over him.

He might as well have tattooed a list of every one of his bad qualities and poor decisions on his forehead. I'm not saying everyone who gets a tattoo makes poor decisions, but when you get a distasteful one on your hand? There is a culture to tattoos, and as such there can be a place for them in civilized society. A lot of people trivialize what should be a passage of rite, the tattoo should mark a milestone of your life or embody an accomplishment.
