I’ve had a change of heart about tattoos recently- I notice that if they are all on ONE side then it is not as bad, for some reason.
If you see the plain side your mind is able to picture the person as they would be without the tattoos, or something.
The LACK of tattoo symmetry is a good thing.
Another example is Mike Tyson.
When he had ONE side of his face tattooed, it was kinda cool- but now with the mirror image on the other side he looks like a freak
It is not "recently" that is the problem with tattoos. Give it about 30 years.
