Hey Frank...I have 3 tatoos...think of them as art I guess. Sometimes I wished i've never had them put on though, but
never thought of it as self-injury though???

My dad had the entire head of christ Tattoed on his back when he
was in the Korean war.....why I don't know??? Never asked him
but always wondered.....All I know is it took 2 weeks to do and
cost $250.00 back in l953...
