There are a lot of absolutely amazing artists out there, you just have to look around a bit.

I don't think I'll ever go the full head to toe route, but it's interesting to say the least.

I think I'm going to do my entire back, both arms to the wrist and the tops of my feet and I think that's it. Who knows though

@OP: Why do you care so much what people put on their bodies?

No one criticizes you for NOT having tattoos. I saw something funny the other day:

"The only difference between tattooed and non-tattooed people is that tattooed people don't give a ____ that you don't have a tattoo!"

What do you mean, what do I do? I don't believe in the need for material possessions. That's all. Let's say, for example, you have ONE single dinner fork. Once you've eaten dinner, you have no need for it, so let someone else use it. When you need one again, someone who isn't eating dinner at the time can provide one for you. No one "owns" it. But I also have very few things around me personally.

If my room mate (ex-girlfriend, actually) moved out, she would take the TV and the computer and the DVD player, and the telephone. Because they're "hers". They were bought by her for her benefit. She doesn't really bother getting online, but she wouldn't be leaving this computer here if she left.

Going with that, wouldnt clothes be a waste of money, too?

"Society" thinks we should be covered up...at least when we walk out our door and start having to interact with other unrelated people.

I believe she was asking what it is you do for a living.
She doesnt need lessons in philosophy, trust me!

Ah, I work freight, get the stuff that comes in the back up on the shelves so that it can be sold. It provides all the workout I need.

I also tend to think that people who get tattoos, especially those who have a lot of them, have something that's a little off about them emotionally.

Does anyone else, agree? Disagree? I'm sure the people who have tatoos will disagree and most of those who agree won't have them.

No on the contrary; we need people with plenty of tattoos. How else will you know when to clench your purse or activate your automatic door locks? Tattoos are the tell-tale sign of all that is unsavory and visibly wrong with today’s society, right? Of course not. I personally like tattoos…just don’t get carried away-please. Besides, things start to “move” after so many years and the last thing anyone wants to see is a displaced, faded, wrinkled skull/crossbones’ tattoo above someone like Martha Stewart’s “tail”. Not pretty!

You never responded to my reply to you. I will post it again here. I am interested to hear what you think.

My tattoo says 'live for God' in Greek (from Galatians 2:19) and is a personal reminder of my faith to myself. It is a way I can always be reminded of how I wish to live my life. I don't care if no one sees it, it is a personal reminder to myself that I can never leave behind and never go without. My tattoo is about reminding myself of the morals by which I want to live myself. My faith in God is the most important thing in my life, and I fail in upholding that ideal more often than I care to admit. Having a visual reminder of this faith with me no matter where I go keeps me on track and reminds me about this. I really don't care if you have a tattoo or not. it's just that in our family people with tattoo's are look upon as being light in the brain department. We find tattoo's to be very unacceptable.

People get tattoos for very different reasons. I just want you to realize not everyone gets one to rebel, or to cry out for attention. I'm fully aware that people will justify their choices even if they are social crimes. To us tattoo's ,or other types of body vandalizm, are nothing more than tribal markings of those with low morals and educations.

Could be!
