You know, I´m not really sure what this debate is all about.
I thought it was esthetics, and as everyone has their own taste I didn´t think it was such a big deal. I mean, everyone should do as they please with their looks - if you like tattoos, then have tattoos! If you don´t, then don´t have them!! Or piercings or blue hair or body hair - or not. Whatever.
But I feel there is some moral edge slipping into this debate that doesn´t have anything to do with esthetics. There can´t be anything "wrong" with any type of esthetical preference, so I really don´t understand where this is coming from.
It´s flattering when a man states that women are beautiful without any type of intervention, but that doesn´t mean that it´s "good" not to have tattoos.
Esthetics and ethics aren´t the same thing, everyone!
Let´s not make each other feel obliged to defend their preferences, please.
