Re: Upper- and middle-class
Well, I don't have any tattoos and, at the time of writing, I'm certainly in no mind to ever have one - but to to use such a huge catch-all as "tattoos are so ugly" I find rather sad.
I've seen some absolutely beautiful works of art inked into people's skin - and I mean that literally, they are art - a good tattoo artist is just that - an artist - they just happen to use human skin as their canvas.
(There's an image going round on FB at the moment that FB keeps trying to ban - of a woman's torso after she had a double mastectomy - and rather than have a breast rebuild she had a very beautiful tattoo done to cover the scars - so no - even if you don't like them - [not all] tattoos are ugly)
