Depending on what/w...I am not opposed to tattoos. <br /><br />Depending on what/who/where, some tattoos are quite beautiful. My fiancée has some, he explained the stories, and although some need touch up are quite beautiful. He does make sure the tattoos are NOT scene at work.<br /><br />My ears were pierced when two weeks old, as Spanish custom. I am afraid of needles because of allergy shots at five years old, and so not had additional piercings or tattoos designed on me. However, in one particular place, I may consider having a tattoo. LOTS of research before choosing the artist will happen. My design will look like their style, after all.<br /><br />Piercing is actually my YUCK. Other than ears, WHY??? Nose = boggers & sneezing. Belly button = OUCH. Chin = EW. Eyebrow = OUCH. <br />Think of the scarring!!!!Angelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270910594134410023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018214151850097890.post-90566755836197774682011-04-23T11:25:10.815-07:002011-04-23T11:25:10.815-07:00I think I've figured out why I find tattoos so...I think I've figured out why I find tattoos so disturbing... aside from the questionable aesthetics...<br /><br />It's a figure/ground relationship. When I see a tattoo I stop seeing the person and look instead at the body part and the body art. It's the worst on dancers where my eye is drawn to the tattoo instead of their movement.<br /><br />Tattoos, like all the body fetishes focus attention on a part not the whole.

It seems like a whim to me. One they must grow to regret. It's like looking back at photos of yourself 20 years ago and laughing at the style of clothes and hair. Thank God they weren't permanent! <br /><br />Yet I see old ladies with an arm full of tattoos strutting around like they're something special and I wonder if this is the only way they feel unique? Like this suddenly set them apart from the rest to be noticed or something. Then I think how sad if that's the only thing that made one feel special, unique...Susan Rouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811139850899265798noreply@blogger.com
