Nobody would have ever suspected those two of being tattoo artists while incognito

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

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.

The so-called architect put those hairs there, you moron.

Hair is a blemish? You’re out of your goddamn mind

Oh it’s a rage bait account. I get it.

Not wrong, scrolling through their post history is watching someone beg for down votes and general internet ire.

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.

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

Thankfully, none of the people who get tattoos give a shit what you think ☺️

Tell that to my Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy tattoo, a massive improvement to previously boring skin.

I boo in your general direction.

Unrelated to the shithead you’re replying to, but how did you make it so your username appears in such a large typeface?

Wow! Wrong about both tattoos and graffiti. A two-fer

I pity you having never seen goos graffiti. Banksy weeps😭
