Women with tattoos covering their skin takes away from natural beauty. This is the truth and the truth might hurt.

I don't want 20 year olds making this mistake that will effect the rest of their lives. Maybe someone reading this will not make this mistake.

This is your opinion.

She looks pretty darn happy. I wonder how many other people her age are that comfortable in their own skin?

I wonder what it is that makes people so focused on their body. It's just like people who are obsessed with plastic surgery.

the point was, if you dont want them then dont get them, but dont complain when someone else makes a choice of their self expression,

Like I said, I know plenty of people who have had sleeves or other large pieces for 20+ years and still like them.

Will I like mine in 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? I don't know. I have had quite a few people come up to me and tell me they 'wished they had the guts' to get a sleeve, or more visible tattoos but they were too afraid.

I say, to each his/her own. If you don't like tattoos...don't get one.

Thankfully, few people her age, have to go to that extent, in order to, "look happy."

there really is a huge difference visually between someone with a single tat or even two than someone with a full body tat. tats are about self expression, they don't have to please anyone other than the person who carries it

I guess I have a different view on that than you. She chose a different path, why is that so scary for people?

Exactly! I got my tattoos because I like them. Period. I like the way they look, I like the way they make me feel, I like having them.
