There is a seeming paradox involved that the human consciousness may not be able to resolve. Individuality vs. Mutuality. One striking example is the meaning of the Triune God. But in each of ourselves there lies the need to express our uniqueness—our individuality, but at the same time there is the need for companionship, fellowship, the herd instinct, calling us to reunite in oneness.

There are endless manifestations through art, sport, culture, ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, and the human race as a whole.

IMO, tattooing is a mere part. Tattoos aren’t my thing, but I have drawn a number of pictures that are on people’s skin.

Didn’t mean to offend, Sky.

I agree with your comments. I do think this tattoo thing is by and large a product of the entertainment industry too. Entertainers with temporary tattoos inspired many people to go out and get real permanent tattoos. “Suckers!” LOL

If people want to have a tattoo, it’s of course their personal decision.

I don’t blame you for doing the art work. You’re not talking people into getting it tattooed on. They’re ready to get one, and it might just as well be your artwork as the artwork of anyone else.
