"My problem with the explosion of body art appearing on the streets is
the multitude of pretty atrocious ink that I've been seeing lately.
I have to ask: Is it really "cool" to get a random hibiscus on your
shoulder blade, a nonsensical tribal pattern wrapped around your arm or
a misshapen cartoon character on your butt?
What happened to having real meaning behind your pieces rather than
just a drunken spur-of-the-moment idea while in Mexico on spring break?
There's no way that I can knock going under the needle for personal
artistic expression in general because I happen to have a rather large
piece in between my shoulder blades myself.
However, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think that the
main difference between my body art and the majority of tattoos that
I've seen around town is the obvious thought and care that I took in
its design and application.
Vin Diesel shows us how to be completely boring in our tattoo selection.
Of course not everyone has to go to such extremes of original expressiveness.
