Seriously, though. Why put a permanent stain on your body? Tattoos are garish and ridiculous. Leave them to the thugs marking out the kills they've made and the illegitimate kids they've fathered and run away from. |
Wait, do you know anything about the history of tattoos or are you just spitting out rubbish? It's hard to know the difference.
Tattoos have spiritual/religious significance in many, many cultures. To think of tattoos as a symbol of hoodlum or profligacy is sort of skewed and short-sighted.

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.
The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
