Even though I regard surgical modification with great dislike—so much so that I don't want to even describe them—I really love temporary tattoos! I think they're really cute. I mean henna tattoos, or other stick-on type tattoos.
I even love body jewelry: nose rings, eyebrow rings, earrings, even multiple rings! Nipple rings—this is getting a bit personal ... But I'm too much of a coward to get myself pierced. I am convinced that young people who get themselves permanent tattoos are foolish. Why do that when temporary tattoos are available? Kids who get permanent tattoos—and I include anyone, really; they're awfully difficult to remove; they're usually doing it to make a statement about themselves. Soon they discover that those statements are not worth making.
Obviously, that's just my opinion; and it's easy for me to say that because I have a blog; I can make all the statements I want at any time.
And I do. Sometimes I'm wrong, and I walk back the statements, and I apologize. With a tattoo, you can't do that; at least, not easily. For about a thousand dollars, you can erase about a square foot. Or less. No one is worth that sort of statement; screw them.
