[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send him information on how Maori people feel about those arm bands and on general tattoo fails.  Suggest he wait until after college and/or ask future fiancee.  I'd go with logic.  Bribes and threats are uncool.

There are so many non-permanent ways to decorate yourself.

If future fiancee has one, no need to worry about what happens bc that's the person who will care the most.

I have seen a number of bad tattoos on formerly attractive real estate.

I understand bodily autonomy completely.  It just seems like there are a lot of pitfalls related to enhancing oneself with ink.

Tangent:  The Sofia Coppola movie Dogfight shows a bunch of young guys getting "killer bee" tattoos right before shipping off to Vietnam.  I think this is the kind of solidarity that sports people may be looking for?  That's beyond aesthetics.  Also frat markings.[/quote]

“Formally attractive real estate.” You give me ick with the way you speak.  [/quote]

PP.  You didn't even quote me right.

Real estate is a slang term for the space on which designs are applied.  A tattoo is a design.  See this example from a webpage about web design below.

"Too much blank space is probably one of the most common notes designers get from clients. Why is that?  To the untrained eye, empty space, or whitespace, serves no purpose. Unfortunately, many clients think of it as a waste of valuable real estate. They want to fill it with either content or some kind of design element to "make it pop."

Lol.  I think guys with whitespace are hotter.  Does that make more sense?[/quote]
