I met this chick a few weeks ago with some prominent tats. Today she was whinging that that people keep looking at them, and ask her if she has any that aren't visible. I told her that people - particularly women - with very colorful visible tats were basically begging for people to look at them. I told her it was viewed the same as people wearing huge amounts of gaudy jewelry, big purple felt hats, or putting 30" chrome spinners on their cars - they all scream LOOK AT ME!!!.

I told her that complaining about the attention that her tats draw is akin to a woman going out and getting 48DD implants and then whining when men stare.

Obviously I won't be getting any, but I thought I'd pitch it to the Pelican brain trust: are huge, colorful, very visible tats the calling card of an attention whore, or should one avert their eyes and not comment, like they were some huge congenital body defect?
