Typically the people most driven to "make a statement" have nothing to say. If people go out of their way to make themselves look bizarre and ugly they should be prepared for rejection.

Thank you.
Tattoos have their place, in cultures and societies, and while I don't have one, nor plan to get one (I'm an artist, there's nothing I could live with the rest of my life), I'm not against them, per se. I've seen some great ones, that had meaning, and fit the person, and were placed with thought and consideration. Sadly, that's about .1% of the ones I've seen.
What I am against is the fad they have become. Most tattoos are done on a whim, mean nothing, are retread designs from books tattoo shops buy and copy from, and are done quickly and with little skill. The little boys and girls running in and out of these shops can't afford the GOOD guys, like Robert Benedetto. I'm an artist, I get asked all the time to design them, but unless there's a lot of thought and meaning behind them, I won't be part of it.
I also think tattoos on a woman mar what God made beautiful in the first place. I've never seen a tattoo on a woman that enhanced her, they only make women look cheap. Maybe it's social conditioning, or my artist-snob mentality, or the glut of BAD tattoos on beautiful bodies.
The woman in post 81 has a beautiful face, and she's destroyed it. It's depressing to wonder what in her life made her disrespect herself so much that piercing herself like that would have any meaning other than a red flag that she has no self esteem, and puts decoration and fad before herself. That's truly ugly, and I feel so sorry for her, that the best she can express in life is to make herself ugly. The guy she's with? I've dealt with guys with that look in their eyes...
Well, this all goes hand in hand with the liberal mindset, and their lack of self esteem...but that's another thread, and another novel...
Looks like you understood perfectly what I was sayin'.
thanks.
