Tattoos where do you stand?

Tattoos are now generally worn by only the most uninteresting people. I learn everything about them by looking at what they have inked into their skin - you know, a chinese symbol for peace or a flower with an angel or a movie monster or some other bullshit. These things are so important to you you'd rather put them on your body instead of talking about them? How thin your personality must be...

Wow, LeHah. You certainly are good at generalizations.

Anyways, I'm down with them, provided they mean something to the bearer. I have one on my fat right upper arm. Whether or not it will look good in 30 years, I don't care. I plan to get another on my left shoulder of three bumblebees, representing my family. (My last name in French is "bumblebee")

I don't really like those who cover themselves in tattoos, though. I don't consider my skin a blank canvas.

Each person's body is their own, and they're entitled to their tattoos all over their goddamn body. You can tell something about a person by what they chose to put on their skin, though

Jam it back in, in the dark.
