I'm not a fashion critic, nor am I related to any, and, yes, I do have immediate family with tatoos.....and I think they generally look ignorant.

Especially lots of them.

And wall-to-wall is beyond ignorant, and I'm convinced, somewhere well into psycho land.

Agreed. Oh, how much I do agree!

Where I live, it is beyond stupid because tatooed folks seem to want to dress to show the body art, so they wear very few clothes -- and revealing ones at that. This leaves them in danger of freezing to death during 2/3 of the year.

I've never been drunk enough to think a tattoo was a good idea.

I simply don't understand the complete lack of self esteem that would make one in this culture want to permanently deface his or her own body in order to: a) fit in, b) stand out, c) emulate felons, or d) freeze yourself into a fashion that is counterproductive and unflattering. But then again, I don't "get" multiple piercings and gauging, either. These are people who aren't confident enough to stand as themselves, without artifice, and have to make their costumes (or masks) speak for them. Sad.

Ignorance is probably the best explanation.

"Wall to wall is beyond ignorant....somewhere into psycho land."Your correct.I read a good book a few years back(re criminal mentality/anti-social behavior),and excessive tatooing is strongly(but not 100%)indicitive of sociopathy.
