@SadieMartinPaul I concur. I view tattoos as body mutilation in the “name” of originality, and “creativity” even though EVERYONE is doing it, but actually belonging to the sect of “doing what everybody else is doing ‘cause it’s cool, regardless of how it might effect you in the long run.”
Believe me, you don’t want to miss out, lest you look like a nerd or an outcast. ~
People (only men) thought it was cool and sexually charged for some sick reason, to bind women’s feet in China about 100 to 80 years ago, now most people think that it was sick, and mutilation.
And I think tattoos make people look dirty and bruised. But that sentiment gets me branded as “out of touch”.
I’d rather be realistic and grounded and that’s OK.
