When did I start thinking tattoos looked trashy? It wasn't when I was getting a couple of them, that's for sure! My mother warned me that they made you look easy- that it sent out the wrong message. I don't think mine say anything negative about me, but sometimes I see people and their tattoos and I think they look trashy. There's this girl who works in our building and today she had on a sun dress and the tattoo on her ankle made her look so cheap and kind of slutty. Maybe it's more her that projects that image and I'm incorrectly blaming the tattoos. I think that might be it, because really, I'm all for an appropriate amount of body art and I don't at all regret the ones I have. There's just something about big hair and too much make up combined with a smeared rose tattoo on either your ankle or chest that screams I'm a bit of a whore and desparate for attention! Sorry tattoo- it's not you that makes them trashy- they do it all on their own!
