• 31. Another generalised unintelligent stab at the inked population. Lonely? It's so sad. I feel sorry for how closed you are to reality.

• 33. insecure wannabes? haha wanna be what? a person who does what they want? oh no! don't like ink? don't get any. i think you have to be pretty secure to get something permanently put on your body. people should probably think before they make really inane comments about something they obviously don't know anything about.

• 34. I love all the people defending their tattoo's. I personally love them, I have seven. And it's not for street cred. There's no such thing in Edmonton, Alberta! The art is beautiful, the colours are vibrant. We have many clients who are aged and their tattoo's still look great, because they've taken care of them. Sceptisism is better kept unto itself.

• 35. I have 5 tattoos, and no one else sees them but me. I didn't get them for "street cred". That's a laughable idea when applied to me and many others. Tattoos if well thought out are extremely personal and meaningful. There are excellent examples of beautiful, artistic renderings whose medium happens to be skin created by true artists and there are really bad, thoughtless, ill-conceived tattoos by hack tattooers. And as with anything, they aren't for everyone. It's just a shame that people are judged on something so trivial. And to the person mentioning the dogs, what a nonsensical comment. My husband has 17 tattoos on various parts of his body and dogs love him. We're both considered upper middle class americans, with professional jobs, so to classify everyone with tattoos in one fell swoop just shows prejudice and ignorance on your part.

• 36. Oh, and by the way. I'm not insecure. I'm not a wannabe. And my tattoos are far from "dark blue spots" on me. They are vivid colors and great designs. Wait, that sounds like art to me. And we choose to get tattoos on our bodies because we EXPRESSING OUR OWN ART FORM. Our INDIVIDUALITY. How hard is that for people grasp? And sure, they may look gross when I'm old, but so would the rest of my body from being wrinkling and sagging. It makes no difference. Just open your minds a tad bit and realize that this is not just a trend. It's beautiful, and it's here to stay. Deal with it.

• 37. Wow. I am still amazed at how many people out there are so narrow minded about tattoos. Sure, they're permanent. Sure, some people shell out the money to have them removed later. But, that's why you do you research and make sure you get a damn good artist that will give you a damn good tattoo that you won't have to get removed later. Tattoo's are art, and when they are done right, they are beautiful. My boyfriend is a tattoo artist himself, and to the guy who said dogs are afraid of the? That's crap. My b/f has them on his hands, neck and arms, and not one dog is scared of him. Just because someone is tattooed does NOT mean they are abusive and a**holes. Do your research, punk. My grandpa is tattoo-less, and he beat the crap outta my family. Oh, and by the way, I'm tattooed up myself, and still have a respectful job, make good money, and I'm not trash. Think before you speak, and stop being so narrow minded.

• 40. Really 'douchebag' referst to the lack of acceptance and individuality in our modern world. To catagorize someone at this time for body art or assume it is a 'hollywood' trait says you are the one stuck in he dark ages. Whether you have them r not, why would it be 'yucky' on others. And by the way you ain't going to be too hot when you are 90 either, just not decorated. Open your mind sheep! lET ME GUESS YOU LOVE BUSH TOO? "dumb" & "Yucky" is so yesterday... Grow up people. PEACE

• 41. As far as I'm concerned all old people are ugly..with or without tattoos. I really hate that argument "What will they look like when your old??!!" I really don't understand why people care so much..do you have nothing better than to worry about the young girl at the mall that has a tattoo on her ankle and how when she is 80 it will still be there?? And no I don't have a tattoo..but i would never judge some one who does. People are so judgemental it makes me sick.

• 45. Tattoos are for insecure wannabees. Oh ya......and a faded dark green/black patch of some stupid design is ART? If it is, the mole on my butt is the 'Mona Lisa'.
