More on tattoos

I find tattoos repulsive. They literally hurt my eyes. They're not exercises in rebellion or individuality- they're a moronic fad that quite simply, LOOKS trashy even if the person isn't. As an artist and painter- I am appalled by the defacement and mutilation of God's creations. Philosophy aside, I just think they're ALL ugly- the plastering of ink on rock musicians, the little butterflies on ankles, the horrible distractive symbol on a woman's back, belly, or hip- no, what turns me on are the gorgeous, unmarred curves and expanses of unmarked, unpierced, virginal flesh that we were all born with, whatever the color, size, or shape. That blotch of ink, no matter how meaningful to the misguided soul, is simply ugly as hell.
