Every person is different. Sometimes you have to look beyond to surface to see where someone might be the shit. Nobody thinks a like. A person who you think is an idiot, arrogant or ugly.....can easily end up a millionaire, sex icon and a household name.....
A few examples:
50 cent.....crack dealer, gangster and ex con.
Mike Tyson, rapist.....man eater.....and talks like a fag
Angelina Jolie.....has drank her husbands blood....hates on her dad publicly AND has a nasty drug habit.
Tom Green......the name says it all.
Howard Stern.......Has to be on of the nerdiest looking guys on the planet, yet, he is still the shit.
I could go on and on for you, but do you now see where I'm trying to go with this?

You have gone about proving my point better than I ever could! Making money or having one special talent doesn't mean that you are an all-around cool person, as you just pointed out! Just because you have attitude and money doesn't mean you have class or intelligence. Getting a "pimp" tattoo doesn't make you classy, intelligent, or rich. It just makes you pathetic. Money isn't what makes people cool or interesting. Money isn't a reason for arrogance.
Besides, even if you want admire or want to be like the people listed above--you're not. I mean, you don't have the millions of dollars, even!
To me, someone is not "the shit" (or what have you) unless they're an ALL AROUND awesome person--talented, fun, non-arrogant, and classy. Your idea of what makes people "the shit" is obviously some weird characteristic you define both as being a "pimp" and having money.
Let me say this:
I go to one of the most upperclass, rich, classy (yes, and sometime arrogant--thus my hatred of arrogance) schools in the nation. Fashion, social aptitude, the whole deal, is important to social life here. Coming from outside this upperclass world and viewing it from the outside, I can tell you that in this elitist segment of the population, neither money nor looks will be enough to get you ahead. The keys are an awesome personality and class. The tattoos you suggested seem to suggest neither, rather they imply arrogance and a faddish, sleazy "pimp" ideal. I'm just warning you that a lot of people out there, a lot of people at the top of society, the ones you seek to emulate, would view these tattoos as pretty dumb. If they're what you want to do, regardless, fine. But you seem to be contradicting yourself.
