Calling it body art is somewhat pretentious. Unless you describe kids' drawings as art. None of the stuff you actually see drawn on people would make the walls of a gallery or an exhibition. I'm still trying to work out what that thing on Jamie Staff's leg is?
I reckon it is a fashion and will pass, and like all things fashionable will look pretty horrendous in the future. At least when I had stupid haircuts, and the rest of it, when I was younger it wasn't permanent.

sorry but most of what I see in galleries is pretentious tosh only admired by people who want to be seen as being sophisticated. Give me tattoo artwork or the work of a child any day.

I think you are sounding quite pretentious yourself to be honest. I think some Tattoos looks amazing, many hours need to go into them though.

And he looks pretty awesome in my opinion!
No I was trying to sound reasonable. What I actually think is they are crap pictures drawn on half wits. They take ages because of the technique not because of how good they are. Calling it art makes it sound more sophisticated than it is. That's only a personal opinion mind

No 2 daughter had 3 piercings on each ear, one on nose, one on tongue, one on eyebrow and one on bellybutton. Plus a chain between ear and nose... and walked about wearing a binbag..............She did the one on her eybrow herself with a red hot needle. Not forgetting orange hair and black makeup.
All gone now, she's 30 and (almost) normal .
You think they're a worry when they're young..... you aint seen nothing.......

Yup, it's a fashion that will pass... except that tattooing has been around for at least 12,000 years.
I was kind of wondering when you would join in........

I have nothing beyond the standard pierced ears (but I've not worn earrings for years now).
I do, very occasionally, think a tattoo would be cool. Something simple in just black, and almost always hidden - top of an arm, or back of a shoulder. And probably cycle related...
