Tattoos -- body art or self-graffiti?

They are not my thing. I also believe that as soon as I get one, I will live to be 103 and it will end up 3 inches lower than where I put it. No one wants to see that. I don't mind them on other people especially is they have a meaning. If there are too many and they are running into each other, it just looks sloppy and cluttered and like the person didn't think it all through. I have a nephew that has a lot of them. My mom asked hi one day if he had it to do over again would he get them all. His answer was no. There are several he would not get.

Eh....call it what you will, makes no difference to me! Either you like em or ya don't, personally, I have some, all have personal meaning to me, I don't really care what others think about them....I didn't get them for anybody but me!

I have 4 tattoos. 3 are what I consider art and the 4th has a VERY personal reason for being.

Both, though I prefer drawing on myself over tattoos xD

I am too chicken of needles. I ALMOST got one once and it was small enough so i could tap out if i wanted to. But i chickened out. My husband however has them. 

I was married to one of the most talented tattoo artists in the country I live in :) I loved seeing the art he created but I chose and still choose to keep my body ink free .... I have seen lots of  body art and I  appreciate and love it :) but on me would be self  graffiti . It's personal ... And if it isn't ... It's trash. That's all I have to say about that.  If I could turn back time I would have let  a batman tattoo me though :) I can't though so it's fine

I don't really bother with them. The people who want to have tattoos can have them. Not my business. I don't want to have any.

Upon reflection, I don't every recall seeing a tattoo that I thought added anything positive to the overall presentation of someone's body.

But I am perfectly willing to classify it as a hairstyle---in the sense that it's a personal choice and none of my business.

On the other hand, I like the phrase: "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?"

Good and beautiful tattoos are body art I think

I don't really like them.
