Being the creative, imaginative people that we are, we then decide that we'll customise the body that we've been given. People chose new hair styles and colours, wear different types of clothes and vary our weight. There's one way that irritates the hell out of me though. You've probably guessed it from the name of the article. It's tattoos.
Those that get them say they're wonderful, individual and make a statement or mark an event. To me all they do is spoil a perfectly formed body. The seemingly constant trend of girls tattooing the small of their back (the tramp stamp) is the biggest shame of all. In a previous life as a single man, it was a constant disappointment to see (out the corner of my eye) a pretty girl lean over to pick up a coin, pen or lipstick only to reveal the hideousness of the tattoo thus:
A previously attractive girl then lost any notion of individuality, originality or common sense. If you really like the image then take a picture/print one off and carry it in your pocket! Then when it gets tired, stretched or faded you can print another. Alternatively buy a load of transfers. They look just as effective and you can change them when you want.
Let's say that something actually transpired with one of those girls (a long shot I know). The last thing I'd want to do in the heat of the moment is try to translate a Celtic script or work out why this girl likes angel wings so much that she'd want to put them on a part of the body that she can see only slightly better than the back of her head.
