I've got so many scars on my body from going down and the surgeries to put my bones back together, I can't understand why anyone would want to spend money to deliberately scar up their body.

Tattoo's arn't "art", ART is permanent, lasts hundreds of years, and convey's thoughts and emotions. Tattoo's are poisionous ink impregnated into living tissue.

They used to be the mark of convicts, until the 90's crowd thought scarring up your body would be cool 'cause your parent's didn't want you to do it. For years, and to this day, it's the mark of convicts, why do you want to look like a convict?

You might like them now, but eventially the ink will fade and blend together and you will have big dark blobs on your skin. The pain to get them removed will be far worse than what it felt like to put them in. The Human body's not a chalkboard, it can't be erased if you make a mistake!
