To many of my generation, it means that you:

1. have horrible taste and self-image
2. are an exhibitionist
3. don't care how you spend your money
4. are trying to attract scummy people
5. don't ever expect to grow up beyond today
6. were drunk and stupid at the same time.
etc. etc. etc.


I don't care if you are a concert musician or a nuclear physicist,
a tattoo is ugly and self-mutilation.
