The art of having ink permenantly put in your third layer of
skin. It is a very ancient art, and most modern day
people either:
1) Believe it is a stupid act of idiocy, drunkeness, lust, rebellion, or a form of trying to attract/impress others.
2) Believe it is cool, the "hip" thing to do, or a great idea to do without putting any
true consideration into it. Any person who is willing to get a tattoo should have a
real reason to get it, wether that be self expression, a reminder of something, or a symbol of something(or somebody) you truly care about. Those who feel it is an idiotic/evil thing to do should grow up and start thinking outside the box.
