I am horribly split on the idea.
I love body mods. I think it's great when people strive to make their bodies the perfect image of themselves. Hair dying/cutting, piercing, tattoos, mods - everything, I am in full support of and sport many of my own. I've also worked as a tattoo apprentice and adored it!
However, as an artist, I simply cannot ignore the flaws of a fellow tattoo artist. I don't mean that to sound conceited, but because I'm familiar with the industry and the undeniable permanence of it, whenever I browse talented artists in my area I am almost constantly let down. Often their work is amazing and worth much praise too! But I just cannot imagine myself with another artist's work on me and I will NEVER get my own work on myself.
Factor in stuff like cost and all of the sudden getting a tattoo just isn't.. for me. As much as I love them, I am far too indecisive and flaky to get one. :(
