"Wow everybody here hates tats."

Since you addressed this to me, I'll clarify: I don't.

I posted this article because I thought it was a nice Mother/Daughter story. The people that don't like them expressed their views, and while I don't have any, I don't deny others the right to have them if they want them. And I appreciate the artful tattoos on my friends and family.

BUT...as in the case of the Skullface Guy, that's just beyond the pale. You don't disfigure yourself to THAT extent if you DON'T want attention...either positive or negative. For some people, either will do. ;)

I think there's a lot of psychological garbage behind obsessive tattooing and piercing, and while it's never been "my" style, it works for others.

I can't think of a single person I know, aside from my Mom that doesn't have a tattoo of some sort.

Maybe I'm the freak? LOL!

Thanks for the post. I agree with much of what you said. I know quite a few tattoo artists as my husband rides with them... I think the skull tat was terrible and if my sons came home with anything like that I would flip. They would be wearing a hat until their hair grew back.... So many women I know have them, very respectful church goers I might add. But you wouldn't know unless they told you or showed you.... I feel..... this way I don't judge people by whats on the outside but what is in the inside. I have met the most beautiful people only to find out they were terribly ugly and mean on the inside. And I have met people who weren't the best looking but were beautiful, wonderful people on the inside. I think what you put on your body you better really want and like because its going to be there or there will be a removal scar for the rest of your life. People need to THINK before they get anything permanent on their body. And body pericings can leave scars when you decide you don't want it anymore.

I think there's a lot of psychological garbage behind obsessive tattooing and piercing, and while it's never been "my" style, it works for others. ......Exactly! Well said!!

I can't think of a single person I know, aside from my Mom that doesn't have a tattoo of some sort.....Me either. lol

Maybe I'm the freak? LOL! If you are the freak then I am right there with you...Thanks ~~Pandora ~~
