What are you waiting for?
That's right. I am a clean slate. No tattoos. No nothing. It's not that I don't like them, I think they are cool as hell in a 'I'll look and thats cool but no thanks' kinda way. I've just never had any real "want" to get one. Couple that with some sort of fear of needles and well..yea..here I am at 35 and no tattoo. As I get older, I am realizing I don't know anyone else without a tattoo or peircing of some sort. Oh I am sure they are out there, but I think they are afraid to come out. Like not having a tattoo or peircing is looked down upon by society as a whole and if discovered you will be drug through town, stoned, and then promptly have your respective genitalia branded (no, I don't have that either) before they tattoo a giant red "T" on your chest.
I've long known many people consider tattoos "hot". Since I've been on fubar, I hear this from my friends daily. I used to think tattoos were considered "hot" because it was something of a tabboo, and only the baddest of the bad had them. Now, since anyone and their great grandmother has them, I am a bit perplexed. As I find I am somewhat of a rarity in these parts, I am wondering why tattoos are considered hot, and at what point things will turn around and NOT having them will be hot since they of course then would be the "rebels" of society.
I am in no way bashing them. As I said, I think they are cool. I just never chose to do any of it. Call me what you will..it's a choice, just like those who get them. Tattoos are a form of self expression, I choose to express myself in different ways. I am merely wanting to discuss the appeal of tattoos/peircings and wondering who out there hasn't taken that leap yet?
