You are entitled to your opinion, your body and what to do with it
You make a very good point as well.
- Tattoos are permanent - unless someone wants to pay all the more to get the process of removing which potentially leaves scars! which those are permanent
I have tattoos

, I like each one... and yes that is me

as you are you are you
My S/O does not have any tattoos, we talked at one time of getting a tattoo together, but after the "yeah sure i will get one with you"... and "no lets keep waiting"... I finally told him that : "ya know, getting this tattoo is more my thing than your's (his)... and that is all right

"
My tats usually represent a part of my life-- yes emotions are with that, which emotions change-- but none the less, they are meaningful to me in a very deep way.....
Last May I felt like I was going to either go back to drugs or completely do my plan and be gone, too much was going on back then with people for me.... I went and got my the tat on my hearts with in the puzzle piece...... Sure some could say it was a little impulse, but at the same time, I spent a while more than a month thinking on it.
(Sorry if that is a cliche for you all but hey... it is the truth)
And hey, I can totally respect someone that does not want to get tatted up.
It is THEIR BODY, Their Choice
Keep strong with your self-
reminds me of:
"Question what you are taught and dismiss what's insult your soul"

Many good thoughts your way
