(Editor's Sidenote: I have no clue who this person is.)
So, I recently discovered that one of my facebook friends is getting an entire tattoo sleeve.
Now, I have mixed feelings on tattoos. I've thought about getting one, but then, I can't decide what I would want to get and where. And then I start to think that if I'm just picking something for the sake of picking something, it doesn't mean that much to me, so it's not worth tattooing on my body. Hmm.
However, I must say - I sometimes find tattoos on a guy to be HOT. Not the physical look of the tattoo, per se, but the alternative anti-authority rebeliousness aspect of them. (Not the angry biker style guy, but the alternative chill-style guy.) However, I think since tattoos have become so mainstream, they may have lost that effect.
I do kind of view tattoos as a form of self-expression. I am still debating on getting one. Maybe I'll get this blog's url.... Your thoughts? Your feelings on tattoos?

I think you and I share a friend. I have seen pics of her sleeve, and I think it's totally tacky.
I think you're right that tattoos don't really mean "rebel guy" as much as they used to.
I like tattoos that are unique. I don't like it when whole parts of a person's body are covered. My brother has a tattoo of a symbol that is very meaningful to him and our cultural heritage. It's on his arm.
JH wants to get a tattoo of a rooster-because that's what his name means in Dutch. I think it's odd, but I guess I wouldn't mind it. I don't really find them attractive, though, and if I saw a guy with a tattoo, I'd rank it low on the list of desirable traits.
Aside from that, I have considered a tattoo. A pomegranate. On my foot.
The pomegranate represents our city in Spain. I'll probably never do it though. I'd rather get my ear pierced again. I'm actually going to do it this summer.
In conclusion: tattoos, meh. Piercings yes.
