Sorry Hecate, I have worked with Old people as well.. old age just isn't a 'good look' at all.. all that saggage and wrinklage..
Actually laughing at Gichin.
On the attention seeking thing..hmm I have some in places that no one will see, they are symbolic and are special to me. I also have dermal implants.
I won't be sad and desperate at 70 gichin, nor am I chavvy or common. You say you don't like women with tattoos. Is that literally, personally? As in, if you knew I had a tattoo you wouldn't like me? You want to debate the subject seriously, but unfortunately, sweeping generalisations are not conducive to 'serious debate'.
Why do I do it? Well I find them attractive. I don't judge people who don't have them though. The butterfly at the base of my spine represents my metamorphosis following an accident in which I broke my spine in 4 places. The one on my leg that I designed myself is again about personal growth and will at some point be continued. The fairy I had dome yesterday (Oh and I am 40) is wrapped up in a personal belief that I am not sharing with you because you will probably diminish it with a snide comment.
The piercings I have had are sadly an attempt to channel my self harming due to serious depression and completely annihilated self esteem.
I have a degree, run my own business, have two bright beautiful children.
But for all my 'Issues' Gichin. I am glad that I am me and not you. Because I don't judge anybody, whether they are tattooed, driving a big expensive car, travellers, or completely conformist. We all have a story to tell, from the person who cleans the council toilets, to the social so called 'elite'.
