Weird discussion ... i do understand why someone doesn't want to be tattooed but i also understand when ppl decide to get inked ... it's up to everyone to do whatever makes them feel good (unless they do harm others) ... and given that a minimum of 15% of the worlds population carries a tatto any call like that is pure nonsense
i'm just carrying 5 (nowadays barely) visible dots i handpoked myself on the upper arm as a kid in 1973 ... a ritual i did to get rid of my injection phobia since a bee stinged me right above my eye at age 5 and nearly killed me ... and aslong i don't fall in love with a skythian princess or a handpoking fem from Palau it won't get more ...
While i always love to look at tatau art since i was a young kid in the sixties meeting sailors, soldiers and bikers ...
