I know a lot of people with tattoos who are fine folks, but - and I'm not proud of it - seeing a tattoo on someone makes me wonder about their values and their decision-making. The question of "why" always crosses my mind.
My daughter-in-law has probably 20% of her body inked-up. It has cost her well over $12k. She has a great job and can afford it so she can do what she wants. I still wonder about her sense of value - like with everything you have, why is that so important to you?
On the other hand, I see people who can't afford a decent home or a decent car with tattoos, and I wonder about their values. Is having a tattoo so important that you spend money on that instead of tires for your car or a better apartment? You have kids, but you spend money on that? Why?
There it is. I'm not claiming there is any logic to my reaction to tattoos, and I'm not claiming to be better or smarter than inked-up folk, but I just don't understand it.
