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 ~~

OK...with freedoms, we make choices. We also have to live with the results of our choices.

Whether anyone likes it or not, many people feel that tattoos are an indicator of undesirable behavior. Getting angry won't change that--in fact, it might do the opposite.

I'm not going to get mad at people who don't like fat old grandmothers. If I hated it, I'd lose weight and try to be "young." If you hate the attitude others have because of tattoos, lose the tattoos.

Tattooees get to have your tattoos, and others get to have their opinions.
