The most curious thing..
I've never met anyone whose appearance has been enhanced by a tattoo.
But it's their choice, not mine.
Maybe my art appreciation isn't very good.

Yep, she looks a right wally. She's clearly very pretty, but has somewhat diminished herself with the daft scribbles all over her.
TBF that is quite a valid point, it has dropped out of common British English usage to the extent where it sounds like an Americanism even though it isn't. (Like 'soccer'). However I still like it (and use it myself).Not at all. Just pointing out that the word is essentially American English now.
Anyway, in true NSC style we've gone right off topic!

The Japanese frown on tattoos as a rule, because they're associated with the Yakuza (organised crime syndicates). If you want to visit an onsen or other public bath, you have to buy a stick-on flesh coloured patch to cover the tattoo up with if it's small enough. You can't use clothing to hide tattoos, as culture dictates you bathe in the buff.
I was out there in November and I met a few disappointed tourists who were somehow shocked to discover their extensive tattoo collection prevented them from partaking.

I did, and whilst she very much brightens the thread, I'm not sure she really adds weight to the debate either way.
She's clearly stunning - but I think she'd still be just as stunning without the artwork. Best add another picture, to consider this more deeply.
Could you not have just kept a diary?
I shall “consider this more deeply.” later…..preferably when the wife is out.

Personally, I feel it's ok to like tattoos or not like them (radical eh). I wouldn't have one because my tastes can be fickle and short lived. If I did it would be related to a pet I've loved (certainly not a woman) or the Albion. What does make chuckle is how badly some are put together and how insignificant or whimsical some choices are. I've met numerous people who said they just went into a tattooist and chose an example off the wall or in a brochure. I was expecting some meaning behind this permanent fixture. Anyway, who really cares, do what you like. The only time I can see myself getting one is a Memento-type scenario or if I'm lucky enough to realise before the dementia is kicking in (I'll get my food likes listed on me).

I’m filling up old boy
Saggy old skin doesn't look great with or without tattoosI suspect that inkings done in the last few months on 20 year old skin will continue to look good.
25 year old broken down ink on stretched and saggy 45 year old skin, maybe not so much
That's a benefit I hadn't considered. Twats.

Yes but I still think she would look better without the tattoos.
And the towel.
