Speaking candidly, what are your thoughts on that? I personally think that it’s time for people to let go of the idea that tattoos are “dirty or scummy”, and that only a certain type of person would have them. I don’t understand why there is such a stigma attached to it. To me, tattoos are art. And isn’t art, in all of its’ various forms, not beautiful? Cult of Self actually recently posted an article about ‘Vogue China’, that are now using tattooed models in their high-fashion shoots. And I just remember thinking to myself, why is this only happening now? I personally think there is nothing more alluring, and nothing grabs the attention more than a beautiful woman with body art.
