A whim is momentary, but a tattoo lasts a lifetime. Carol can always
have temporary tattoos designed to conform to her whims.

Personally, tattoos have always turned me off no matter how "tasteful"

Tattoos of WWII are the equivalent of breast augmentation today:
ubiquitous, but not the smartest thing to do. I'm older, those men
are really OLD farts and their tattoos look even worse to me now.
