Gosh I hate tattoos. Several months ago I stopped at a sandwich shop, and the fellow constructing my sub had these long, gaunt arms, all decorated with dragons and skulls and whatnot. The guy was as friendly as could be, but the sight of those arms just repulsed me and took away my appetite. I sat down at a table to eat my sandwich, and I could hardly swallow it, thinking of those grotesque-looking appendages that put it together. I see tattoos like that and I immediately think of nasty, unbathed uncleanliness. Call it a phobia, I suppose. But it's something I can never seem to get mentally past. I certainly never went back to that sandwich shop.

I understand your point of view.

But if the "artwork" was on another "canvas" you might find it very beautiful. :)

(Well, maybe not skulls and dragons...that turns me off too, LOL!)

A lot of us feel that way. The one thing that would bring certain death to us as kids was a tattoo. None of us have them.
