I’m not fond of tats, but my biggest issue with them is that so many people who have them are dirt poor otherwise - so they are spending money on tats but not on their own food or children. Obviously not everyone is like that - our own Rika loves tats and isn’t a deadbeat - I’m sure she knows many people in her own circles that pay their bills and live well. But so often I see young athletes who claim to be poor but arms/necks are covered! And young women - often with children who can pay for tats and nails but not for their own housing or bills!
I have an issue with people who have any luxury extras, be it tats, nails and hairdos that are obviously done at the salon, designer jeans, 100 dollar designer athletic/tennis shoes-stuff that I would not buy-and certainly didn’t when I was a young single mother and student.
If they can afford that stuff, they are not poor, and should not be getting any public assistance-they need to get a job. I’m not interested in having my hard-earned money pay for some welfare queen to buy fancy label clothes and get her nails done...
