I would say I don't *understand* tattoos, but that's probably really a lack of understanding, and then some... Arguments it's artistic and beautiful fall on deaf ears, because it'd be more beautiful on the wall if so, than on skin where it'll never change even if THEY will.
And tribal and similar stuff only make sense if they're actually of that tribe/ethnicity etc. otherwise it's even somewhat disrespectful cultural appropriation. Need we mention fair or not it can also limit people's career options, and unlike say weight or appearance, it's COMPLETELY elective, and then they complain about how society is judging them for what they CHOSE to do to themselves, like wtf?
I understand some people have great need for this for mental reasons, like control of their bodies, possibly self-image issues etc. in which case I certainly won't judge, and I won't say I know anyone's reasons so...
But yeah, I don't exactly get it.
