The art of having ink permenantly put in your third layer of skin. It is a very ancient art, and most modern day people either: 1) Believe it is a stupid act of idiocy, drunkeness, lust, rebellion, or a form of trying to attract/impress others. 2) Believe it is cool, the "hip" thing to do, or a great idea to do without putting any true consideration into it. Any person who is willing to get a tattoo should have a real reason to get it, wether that be
self expression, a reminder of something, or a symbol of something(or somebody) you truly care about. Those who feel it is an idiotic/
evil thing to do should grow up and start
thinking outside the box.

Sensible Newly
Inked Person: I got a new tattoo, it's my grandfathers name. He taught me so much, and I want to show everybody that he is always with me.

Retarded Wannabe Rebelious Teenager: Check out this Japanese character I got
tattooed on my shoulder! Now all the chicks will think
I'm cool, and all the jocks/preps/rednecks will quit making fun of me!
