Our common interest is our art, so before you slam us for our hobbies and second livelihoods, keep in mind, we all pay taxes, we all contribute to society, our art is ALSO our charity to the community and Oh MY! Most of us go to church!
For example:
A man is acquainted with, but does not know well, two single women-one with piercings and tattoos, and one without. If he were interested in casual sex, which one do you think he would be most likely to ask out? And if he were interested in a long-term relationship leading to marriage, (in other words, looking for the mother of his future children), which one would he be most likely to ask out?
Now, perhaps Lydia the Tattooed Lady is pure as the driven snow, Perhaps she respects her body enough not to be sharing it loosely with men. But that's not the signal she is sending with all the stains and holes she has added to it.
You see, life isn't what you fantasize it to be. Life is what it is.
