Quote From: dadathomeTattoos are simply a way of drawing attention to yourself for the WRONG reason. Just like nose and tongue piercing, purple hair, Goth clothing, etc.
If you are in such desperate need of attention then why not get an education and do something positive in life. The Goth lifestyle is for depressed, losers in life.
We do not get tatted or pierced to draw attention to ourselves. We really do like the art and the look. Just like you like the way you style your hair or they type of clothes you wear.
I have a real problem with your statement that we need to do something positive with our lives. Do you think that everyone that has a tat is a low life bum?
I have over 50 tats and numerous piercings. I am highly educated and I was in upper management of a major oil company. My two sons are tatted , hold good jobs, and are very clean cut looking. One son served 5 years in the military. My father had a tat that he got while serving in the Navy. He retired from the telephone company with 40 year perfect attendance.
The goth look is usually a short lived phase. Both my sons went through it. As they got older they matured and realized they needed an acceptable look to be able to earn a living in this world of people like you that make false assumptions of a person's character just by the way they look.
You need to grow up and quit judging people until you get to know them. There are a lot of us out there that you might find you really like.
