Too much is not enough.
As for myself, knowing how fickle I can be and how my areas of focus change over time, I could never decide on a tattoo I could be certain to be happy with in a few years.
So on others I say tastefully done is ok.
BUT when is it that you over do it?
Where is the delicate line of tasteful wiped out by poor subject matter and/or overabundence quantity?
I shudder at:
the Illustrated man or woman.
At: any tattoo on the head, face, neck or hand.
Also, when it is overdone and the wearer thinks it is a "Political Statement" well I don't think so, I see it as modern tribalism, along with piercings and scarification. Plus Santanic is not political it is simply Satanic.
It's like talking to some teenaged girl that has gotten her tounge pierced and I worry because: one> did she do it because "every body else is doing it", or two: she actually knows why one gets a tounge piercing...moderators edit.
That indian sanskrit or what ever one gets on the backs of young lovelies that is just above the belt of their low cut jeans, suggests easy sex and a need to embelish, but doesn't suggest thorough, thoughtful, soul searching woman you should take home to meet mom or marry. It does suggest screwing some one night stand bar fly. As sex was envisioned by early femenists, labeled the zipless ...,moderator's edit. Sex as a mindless physical enjoyment without emotional involvement, like you can really seperate to two. Funny what that mindset leads us to. Also, does a concentrated effort at looking like trailer park white trash or trying to be plain "freaky" give you the best life advantage? So do we curb our selves to protect the youth or just let don't give a ...."toot" ...moderator's edit.... about what we do and how it effects others, as in "I ain't no role model" sports figures.
For those of you that think I have Insulted you I apologize, I respect that you are allowed to make choices in society, I just would suggest you look outside: yourself, your current crop of friends and envision what you'll be facing in 5-10 years.
The most popular tattoo on death row for the last fifty years has been "Born to Lose" which is a rather self fulfilling prophecy at a self limiting life.
On the lighter side any body remember the scene in Raising Arizona where Hi notices that he and Leonard Smalls have the same bird tattoo?
