Most tattoos people get have some meaning to them, remembrance, spiritual, family, etc. to say that all people who get tattoos are trying to be someone else is ridiculous. To take something from the article, if someone gets a tattoo of their kid on them or their birth date or something, how is that them trying to change who they are? Is that not embracing who they are?

Tattoos are an artfom that can be placed on someones skin, leaving a mark forever.

They way you're looking at it is no different than saying every car enthusiast is a hoon.

That's nice but the only way they get to see many of these pieces of 'art' is by looking at themselves in the mirror. Why inflict their art on us?
So much trying to be 'different' but in reality all looking very similar.
but back on track how do we turn this 'me' culture into real community?
