It's no different than saying one doesn't like a certain style of clothing. So what, right? Yet when I've seen tattoo threads there has invariably been a sort of well... atmosphere where it doesn't feel safe to express the opinion that one simply doesn't care for them.

I've hesitated posting on this topic before for that very reason. But today I shall be brave.

Personally, I'm not into them. I've seen nice ones, but most I've seen really aren't and simply look like bruising from any distance. I'm no conformist --color hair I love (mine is purple), but I simply don't care for tattoos. So what? If that makes me unacceptable, so be it.
I created a thread about tattoos and piercings eons ago. At the time I was plotting my very first tattoo and adding to my piercings. I’m very old and my remaining hair is a kind of fright-wig white and takes shape as if I’m holding tightly to a Van der Graaf generator.

I really like — love— my tattoo. On the back of my neck with some bright and wicked colors.

There are many ways to becoming a visual non-conformist. The way that we dress, the way that our particular presentation introduces us to others.

I find that women+tattoos = enormously attractive women. Same with piercings. And a blend of both? God help me! They just got this kinda cool jazz when they walk.

It’s kind of like a club, a Gentleman’s Club, but with women.

It’s an entryway and a clique and I’m amazed by them all, those inked-up women!
