I never understood the fashion of painting the skin and even less in women.

I understand it if you are an aboriginal and it is your culture, I do not understand it in westerners, I suspect it is lack of self-esteem.

There is shitty graffiti, then there is art

It is 100% lack of self esteem

I can understand it when it is something very meaningful to you but usually that's not what it is.

it's not fashion when it's copying. it has mostly been posers copying actual tattooers since the 1990s when individual style was replaced by copycating such as fake preripped jeans and other junk that people wear for 2 months and toss for the next thing to copy.

my grandfather had a tattoo done in the war, it looked like a blob by the 1970s. many people are going to be unhappy with their tattoo(s) later on. every 5-7 years all our cells are replaced... including skin... that will disrupt ink. #thinkaboitnit

AND tattoo away! your skin your choice #reapectfully

What if its good like this one. πŸ˜…

I do agree with you. She would be beautiful without the excessive tattoos.

My theory is that mainstream media and the fashion industry at some point began framing men as weapons. In that sense, if you don't look like a weapon of mass destruction, you won't be recognized by the masses and you won't be successful even inside your own mind. You will be subtly bombarded by propaganda shaming you because you don't follow the "being a weapon" trend.

Never surrender to your own identity and your own preferences. I am not a weapon and I won't base my self-esteem on that. I prefer love over war

*never surrender your...

At least it gives everyone a visible warning to stay away from this one. πŸ˜‚

I think there’s a line where it becomes too much. A sleeve I think can be really nice if the tattoos are meaningful.

This particular example doesn't appeal to me. But, look, you only get at most 80 years or so as an adult to enjoy your skinβ€”might as well have some fun with it.
