I can make a logical reasoned argument with statistics to back up wanting to carry a gun. I don't think that is a logical argument.
Let me say again that it's a free country and it is YOUR skin. You just couldn't pay me enough money, (Unless we get up into powerball territory) to go out and pay someone to cause me pain. Reminds me of fraternity hazing. "If I endure pain and ridicule and physical abuse to join this club it must be really cool!" NOT. Its a psychological ploy to make it harder to get in so you are more loyal. "it must be worthwhile, I endured pain to get here" kind of thing.
Not on my list of things to do. I'm sure there are a bunch of Tat artists out there who are eating well these days due to the fad but its not for me. Some of the work in the pix so far IS impressive. I'd just rather have it on canvas, not my hide.
I just cant fathom why you would come into a thread ABOUT tattoos, just to express your dislike of tattoos..
