One opinion only ......

I'm sorry, I am old, 80, probably a bit old fashioned, antiquated, over the hill, etc., etc., etc.

But, I honestly do not understand the recent need for tattoos. Especially women, beautiful women, plastering artistic ink, on a gift that God has given them. The Mona Lisa has no tattoos, beautiful "works of art" are not defaced, why then, do some women feel the need to, in some cases, take a beautiful arm, or body and feel that any human hand, can in any way, enhance what God has given them.

I have two "tats" ... had them for 60 years, upper arm, and they have been seen by very few. I was in the Navy, impulsive, as usual, been "partying" and being weak, was talked in to getting them. I wear long sleeves in the Summertime, only go swimming when I am alone. So, you know how I feel about  them.

But for a woman, any woman, to think that their appearance is in any way enhanced by the addition of ink, is wrong. Do they think they will be noticed more, they are, but it is not admiration.

Can you imagine, the reaction, she got, from her husband, on their wedding night, if he didn't know about this?

Can you imagine the reaction she got from Tom the Tat Guy,

"You want, what, where?........ Ah, ....... OK!
