(7,737 posts)as a separate image, I can appreciate the artistry.
However, usually when I see a person with tattoos, they all just look like bruised flesh to me.
The ones I like most are ones that incorporate blemishes that the person wishes to disguise: scars, moles, birthmarks, things like that. Those I view as empowerment tools for people who likely experienced ridicule and/or bullying as youngsters.
It is so commonplace nowadays that they hardly elicit any sort of reaction or thought in me; although in general, my initial reaction (as from before it became so common) is more negative than positive.
Same way we all have opinions about choices other people make: tattoos are choices (almost exclusively) and it is fine to have opinions about such things, imho.
