If being a walking, talking graffiti board equates to sophistication then I prefer to remain an unsophisticated  slob 🙂

I wound venture to say the getting you blood group type on your wrist was not in ornate 100cm characters.

Tattoos are a fashion, too, but one that cannot be changed as easily as a new shirt.

I really do not mind them on anyone else, because that is how I see them...a look, an emotion perhaps, a drunken mistake...

People are who they are, with or without any markings.

That is quite true Amber, like a book that you do not know the contents of until you read it.

 

I prefer to read a book with a cover that does not assault my senses and insult my intelligence 🙂

 It was on the inside of my left elbow actually but you're quite right; the entire tattoo is less than 2cm square.

"I suppose some people are sophisticated enough to understand the saying about not judging a book by it's cover and some just aren't."

And perhaps worldly enough to realise:

 

"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible."

“I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.”
"A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence."

so, a nudist?

Poddster, a long standing friend of mine recently acquired a very large, somewhat forceful chest tattoo. To go with his current lifestyle. It isn't something I considered a great idea...but it does not change him as a person. He is now about fifty...and will remain childish, amusing, and selfish to the end. But I will always care about him, new cover and flaws notwithstanding.

I knew the contents of the book for what they were before the cover was "updated".

To each his own. I'd only have a strong opinion if a wife or one of my kids wanted one (and I'm not saying I have any of those).

 

Putting one on your face is a terrible idea. I have a hard time talking to someone with one on their face, without thinking about what's on their faceinstead of what they are saying. Probably best to keep them where a tee shirt and jeans would cover them.

 

Great tattoo artists are becoming easier to find these days...they've come a long way from those greenish black ones. It would interesting to go back in time and see what the Mayans, etc think of these.
