Why tattoos

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)



Why do women tattoo ? I find them a waste a beautiful woman puts ink on their skin and ruins a beautiful canvas.    I know they feel it will get eyes looking at them but what lower life form are they trying to allure. Most dont realize their not fat little girls. They are lovely and allureing. But put ink and paint it like a street sign that is alluring to a rapist. But what do i know im alone in my place to me ink to such a lovely canvas is a sin . Tattoos say look at me but who do you want looking at you?
