Tattoo Horrors

I find this barbed article linked on LRC to be funny and precise. It’s truly amusing to see what people are doing to their bodies in the name of “individuality” as they exercise their right to follow a puerile fad like thousands before them. The hilarious “stock tip” to invest in tattoo-removal technology now is almost authentic! The tattoo rage totally escapes me, especially concerning women, where they look markedly vulgar. Fat and flabby calves, pudgy, misshapen arms, or drooping cleavages with blue blobs inked on them are not attractive. It must be those new environmentally-friendly light bulbs that are distorting visual reality.
