This is the future whether you like it or not.

This is the future whether you see it or not.

This is the truth whether you accept it or not.

This is Globalization.

I'm so happy for these women, they have the strength to express themselves in the way they feel most compelled to do. This is payback for those little girls with deformed and crooked feet. That inevitably also crushed and deformed there little souls.

NEVERSTOP!

It FUCKING SUCKS that so many women are getting tattoos these days. To me NOTHING beats seeing soft, flawless skin of women being completely bare and free of tattoos. That's sooooo much hotter and sexier than the stupid tats that are on chicks everywhere these days.

Why oh why do women have to ruin the perfect work of mother nature? =(

If ya gonna get tatted you can't be scared or care what others think

@JDubs878

a small one like a swallow bird or flower is okay, not a big ass mural all over the back .

@JDubs878 thats extremeley one sided ever thought of other reasons as to why people may choose have a tattoo other than to look Hot? it's generally meant to be a form of self expression, or it is a testament to past memories or past away famly and friends :P

I love the way men always try and tell women what they can do with their bodies : "Don't get tattoos, I hate them!" Are we really supposed to give a shit and not do the things we want to just because of what you might think? Guys are so self-absorbed and think the sun rises and sets out of their own asses. I'm getting a half-sleeve one day, I'm a female, and I don't give a damn what any guy thinks of it one way or the other, and bravo to every other woman who wants a tat and goes and gets it.

the major thing keeping people away from tattoos isn't the social perception but simply that tattoos are permanent

anyone who cares about his/her own body would think twice before getting one
