[...] The question I evade so much that it has cost me friendships is this innocuous, completely acceptable one. Why do you cover yourself in tattoos? [...]

It still amazes me how often non-tattooed people are concerned with tattooed people. Couldn't that time and effort be placed into doing something incredible instead?

And for those who are concerned about the tattooed cat photo, that is most likely Photoshopped.

ah. My first tattoo appeared when I was over 50 (is that middle-aged?). It took me 3 years to understand what I wanted and I knew when I found the artist to help me realize my ankle dwelling flowing windhorse. 3 more years to my elbow encircling double-dragon, about to be completed for my 58th b-day.

They live. I believe they reveal themselves, elemental.

It's a matter of taste. No sure that that tat that looked cute on a 20 year old women will still be appealing to look at in middle age especially when this fad passes and the new aesthetic will be un-inked.

I wanted tattoos my entire life, as far back as I can remember. Growing up in the '70's and '80's, tats were still very rebel. Of course I started getting tats in my late teens and continued into my early 20's.

These days I would say that tattoos are just plain trendy.

Our bodies are our bodies. If they aren't what we want to project, we are free to change them. Some will understand those changes, others will not. Whether we decide to get a haircut, a tattoo, a sex change, or wear something with a purple boa, we change how we look. Even "natural" is a fashion choice.

The question always is, when someone finds your fashion stupid, how do you react? That's what it all comes down to.

I am tattooed, and chose what was meaningful to me. When deciding and creating the designs I asked myself, "Could I live with this forever"? Yes. Though quite large and colorful, mine don't really show unless I'm in a bathing suit or undressed.. This is not out of shame, but privacy. They are that personal. To answer that question I'm asked constantly about how will I feel about they look on my sagging skin at 90, will I care? Probably not. If I live to be 90 and have my wits about me, I don't imagine vanity will be top on my list of priorities.
