I don't mind a small tattoo on a female's ankle or shoulder but in my opinion, it has gone too far. I hate seeing a female with a really beautiful body covered neck to toe with tattoos. I like seeing the beauty of pure unadulterated acres of skin! A few years ago it seemed heavily tattooed women were usually overweight or homely looking. Now it seems I see more and more beautiful women with way too much tattooing. I guess I'm looking at this mainly from a photography standpoint. A local photographer has models take off all jewelry other than small earrings. He claims excess jewelry is distracting and takes away from the natural beauty of the model. The heavy tattooing is even worse.

It will reveal that I am an older man probably no longer in the mainstream of popular thought but it has long been my firm opinion that I have never seen a girl, lady, or woman whose appearance, attractiveness or demonstration of good decision making has been improved by the addition of a tattoo. Actually the same goes for men. I often find myself dumbfounded that people seem to add random, often ugly, tattoos just here and there. I am sure that this will not find a lot of resonance among the younger hoggers.

I can understand your point. Tattoos, can sometimes be extremely well done and a fine form of artwork. Being of Jewish descent, it is frowned upon as desecration against
G-D’s creation. When my son passed away, I grew angry at the Creator of all things. Shortly afterwards, my wife and I had tattoos placed. I have a tattoo on my chest above my heart of a small boy blowing bubbles in a field of grass. Using his handwriting his name and the words “I love you” were recreated. My wife has a similar tattoo on her wrist. I lost my 20 year old son 8 years ago. And each day I try to live life and remember his smiling face. I have been asked by my friends what will I say to the Creator.

When G-D asks me, “Why did I desecrate my body?” I will ask Him, “why did you desecrate my soul?” Now I just wait.

Tattoos are a form of expression and tell a story. I don’t find it ugly but an opportunity to inquire of the person and learn more of person and make a new friend.

In point, none of us can impose our beliefs, ideas ideologies, and just a chance to share a grow to be better than we already are.
