In a somewhat similar vein, I regularly use a small local print store for some home office usage (multiple copies, color printing, etc.). One of the girls there is probably 17 years old, beautiful young girl, with a completely sweet, innocent 'girl next door' type of look.
One day she wore a low cut top which revealed multiple large tattoos on the upper portion of her breasts(yes it was cut that low).
I was a bit surprised and could not help but think: why would such a beautiful young lady destroy herself that way?
Insecurity. Peer pressure.
When I was that age, I grew long hair, wore bell bottoms, and walked barefoot. All because of peer pressure. But when I grew up, I cut my hair and bought some shoes.
I am soooo glad that tattoos weren't "in" when I was young and stupid.
I've said it on other tattoo threads. Tattoos are like covering a work of art with graffiti, especially on a pretty girl.
Yep, I've seen that as well--people that are very pretty, with beautiful skin and have destroyed it with an ugly blue/black looking tattoo. Tattoos often look like bruises to me.
