    To me tattoos are like graffiti. It’s art but ruins the beauty of the original architecture.

      To me tattoos are like graffiti. It’s art that enhances the beauty of the otherwise plain architecture.

        In the human body plain indicates health. Blemishes such as moles or spider veins indicate poor health. The brain interprets tattoos as a blemish.

        But they’re still allowed to give their opinion and down voting them becayse we disagree is not how this works. I upvote comments that are on topic and invite discussion. This was one, even if I don’t agree. “I don’t agree with you but I will fight so you can be heard” – Descartes (I think)

        I’ve seen good graffiti. They are good artists. On locations such as the walls of a subway station is good, but on a house no. Tattoos on the body no because it’s a blemish on the body.

          Off the top of my head the rainbow house by those Baptist nuts with the signs and a picture a kid drew for their parent before they died turned into a tattoo.

      I agree. It’s often a red flag of emotional problems as well. Not always, but in my experience, often enough to be reliable.

      I think it’s more like our bodies are blank canvases. They need some color and embellishing to really accent what’s already there

        Not really. Bodies are not blank canvases. A house is not a blank canvas. The architect designed it a certain way. Think of a woman’s leg. Even hair is a blemish. Much more so tattoos.

            Depends on where the hair is located. Do you like women with hairy legs or hair under the armpits.?

          I don’t get it. Would you say a river has architecture? Would you refer to an empty desert as a blank canvas? There is no architecture for which there was no intent. Also, canvases are artificial or even abstract constructs — of which our body is not. You seem to be anthropomorphizing things to justify and even romanticize your biases. Interesting use of cognitive load, there.

            An unblemished human body serves a biological purpose; indication of health. A person with blemishes on the body probably indicates health problems. Although a tattoo is art, the brain interprets it as a blemish. That’s the reason it makes skin less attractive.

            What’s ironic is that tattoos introduce intent to the matter, thereby providing something to romanticize.
