More honestly, psychologists are hired to help people understand themselves and cease behaviors that are causing them problems, hence I'm pretty far from "playing psychologist." I'm expressing opinion of human nature based on observation with regard to tattoos, of which I've had some longtime experience, and writing about it here. If you think that's "playing psychologist," then you're ignorant of what psychology is. If you think that's playing "human nature observer and commentator," then you'd be CORRECTAMUNDO! That's exactly what I'm doing in this discussion.
What exactly are YOU doing, other than setting yourself up to be so squarely in the middle and blameless (by finding fault in both the tattooed and the untattooed who call bullsh*t on tattoos) that you're practically angelic?
Your California psycho-babble let you down.
Wow, these scathing responses to you are a ringing endorsement of your prescient comments. Old Ben was right.
