i dont understand the fascination with tattoo's. if you like a particular image why have it permanently scarred into your body. it clearly is for another purpose that ppl get tattoos. some macho or see how tough or see how different i am thing. i cringe at all the lemming women in recent years who got tatoos above their ass b/c its the thing to do - its like they had lobotomy's. embarassing. and when you get older the damned thing stretches and looks like some glob of shit on ya. pls straighten me out, what am i missing here?
