I clearly just don’t understand the appeal of tattoos. If they were something like makeup you throw on temporarily for an event then sure whatever but… the permanent, painful, and expensive option is the one everybody chooses? To put a picture of a bird on your arm? Lmao why
When it’s from a highly skilled artist, it’s like wearing a painting. You’re making a permanent blood commitment to art. Sure that’s a dozen hours of mostly annoying pain, but then every time I look in the mirror my legs are just boring flesh. My arms get to be my favourite things in my favourite artistic style reminding me of the time I spend in my favourite place. It’s a constant connection to those things that I can’t accidentally wash off. A custom temporary tattoo version of that would probably be more expensive over time, more annoying to put on, and I wouldn’t want to wear other sleeves or have have uneven/full body ones.
