Tattoos........ Is it art ?

[Devany]

It is a free country and whatever any adult does to decorate his or her body is up to them. That is one thing I love about America.

I do agree with the under 18 idea/law though.

I don't have any tatoos and probably never will (closest I ever came was when I turned 50 and a friend dared me to do it), but I have friends (mostly female) with a few very nice looking ones and I appreciate them as works of art kind of like permanent jewlery. I have seen some really fantastic tribal tatoos here and in New Zealand too. But on the other side of the spectrum... I have seen some rather ugly ones. But each to his own style is my opinion. I imagine that eventually there will be some remorse on the decision for some of these folks and maybe a few will be able to have them removed or wear clothes that cover them. One of the coolest sets of tatoos I have ever seen was on two artists who work in clay all the time and cannot wear jewelry, so they designed wedding "rings" and had them tatooed on.

That is my two cents on the subject. Thanks for bringing it up Lack!
