Ladies, Gentlemen, and MySpace people,Please explain to me the appeal of having a tattoo. I just do not get it or understand it. I think they are ugly, and I do not get the mentality to have something placed on your body forever because you are INTO it at the moment. I mean there was a time I was really into Led Zeppelin. But now, as I've gotten older, I still really like them, but I am not INTO them like I was. Imagine if I had gotten a Zeppelin tattoo a while ago, and now could care less about them. I'd feel embarrassed.
Here's what gets me, is this notion that its cool and an expression of individualism. Oh really? Everyone and their brother has a tattoo nowadays. How individuliastic is that? It reminds me of people saying they like "alternative" music, when there is nothing alternative about the music at all.
Tramp stamps. I know alot guys, and none like the tramp stamp. Must be a girl thing to impress other girls, because quite frankly it's not attractive.
Please don't tell me it's your body and you have a right to do whatever you want to it. Yeah we know, no one is questioning that. I shutter when it is called ART. Art is meant to last, tattoos fade away, and look really bad when you are older. When I see a hot chick...and she has a tattoo...she drops a notch on the attractive scale. Maybe sleeping with a tramp stamped tramp is inviting, but nothing more. Now don't get me wrong, I have friends and family with tattoos and I could care less if they do or not...makes no matter to me. I'm just curious to the fascination of it all. Because I do not get it. Explain it to me. Give me something concrete. I do not think less of people who do this, I know what is on the inside that counts. But that "inside" decided to do this to their bodies. I'd like to get an insight to this line of thinking.Variety makes the world go round. Talk to me.
