OK so for some reason I'm watching this Housewives of the OC last night. There was a part where one girl on there, her 21 year old son went and got a huge ass tattoo on his torso. He showed it to her and she was pissed, started asking "what were you thinking?" and "I don't understand why you would do that yourself" and things like that.
This housewife is 40, which is my age too. She's a total hottie, just as a digression...sorry...couldn't help it...
Anyway, the kid (who, by the way, is a total bum...lazy, no ambition, etc) tells her something like "it's a generation thing."
Now, I know we have a lot of inked up people on SW, so here's my question(s)...
I don't have anything against people with tats, but I don't "get it" either, like this mom on the Housewives show. I don't understand why someone would want a tattoo...and I especially don't get it on the body of a beautiful woman...I see it as marring something that's already beautiful. Also, I think of the time 30 years down the road when that tat is faded and stretched and looking bad.
This is not meant to insult tat types...I just don't get it, and am hoping someone here can explain it to me. I've heard some explanations like "it makes me unique" but how can that be when every other 21 year old girl also has a tramp stamp?
You may feel free to flame me if you think I've insulted you, but that wasn't my intent.
