I clearly just don’t understand the appeal of tattoos. If they were something like makeup you throw on temporarily for an event then sure whatever but… the permanent, painful, and expensive option is the one everybody chooses? To put a picture of a bird on your arm? Lmao why
A big part of the appeal for me is that it’s NOT temporary and not something you have to tend to every day like makeup. You just wake up and your aesthetic is already partially complete, no effort. It doesn’t smudge when you’re active and doesn’t have an awkward stage where it’s partially coming off.
Doing makeup every day is enough of a pain in the ass that people who normally wouldn’t get tattoos sometimes get tattooed eyeliner.
