When I grew some functioning IQ points, I cut my hair and bought some shoes. And I traded the bell bottoms for khakis.
I am so, so thankful that body disfigurement was not a part of our "code" back then.
Your right. Peer pressure and all that kind of thing. But a tattoo is not like a haircut that will grow in. There is probably a big business opportunity in tattoo removal in the future.
