I have seen "art decor" of all types on a diverse group of people. Personally, I do not like tattoos because it is scarring the body. I do enjoy body paintings. Unfortunately, too often it is like seeing the spray-paints that do little to accentuate the body, or the wall. (Again, IMO.) But I have seen the impressive Art that has been done. And these were/are extremely rare. (Sidenote: Body painting done by groups are very popular with nudists.)
I have known women who bore their tattooed numbers on their arm to declare their surviving the Nazi Concentration Camps. I also have know many of them who got rid of their tattoos, deeming them to be signs of slavery. I appreciate both for their desires.
As to my "vote", I oppose the scarring of the body.

As someone who carries scars I did not want, I prefer the tattoo I chose and I'm thinking of a second. The first is a pink triangle fabric patch on my left chest, the one I'm thinking of is of the Black Knight standing on one leg with "Tis but a scratch" under it and there is one more after that, of a bony finger on my right calf pointing to my left stump with "one foot in the grave" under it.
