j, take the time to read what Angel and I are both saying. You don't have to like tattoos nor do you have to like people who have tattoos. What you should do though is respect your fellow board members who have tattoos by not making blanket statements to the effect that people who have tattoos are whores or just looking for attention. It's saying stuff like that that is just rotten. You're not the only person here who has made such insinuations (apparently people with tattoos are also stupid and have a propensity to murder), so don't take what I'm saying as an attack directly on you.

I personally have no problem speaking up when I find a tattoo to be awful or a poor choice, but I don't voice that opinion as an attack on the wearer's character. There's a right way and a wrong way to speak up. That's all I'm saying.

So today I'm photographing newborns (my new job!) and come across mom and dad with lotsa tattoos.  Check it out.  So photogenic!

Looks like fresh color on both. It's not really like those family portraits you get done in front of the drop down screen, is it! Unusual and modern concept.

Angel, do you mean those colors will fade? 

The dad had some bare-breasted mermaids on his arms but didn't want those in the photos with his baby.

Mine have all faded a bit. Especially the ones that are exposed to sun on a daily basis.

I quoted my tat artists friend on the last page about how the quality of pigment has improved and skin care has advanced, he seemed to have faith that tats will be longer lasting.
