@SaltNPepaLvr:

I think in many cases tattoos are a sign that the guy has an inferiority complex about his masculinity, so he needs to 'toughen' himself up.

Don't try to assume things you know nothing about.

I have a lot of tattoos. I didn't get any of these to toughen up myself. When I'm out in public, I tend to hide my tattoos. Not because I'm ashamed of them. I just don't want people to ask me questions what the tattoos are and why I got them

I got my tattoos for myself. not for an image or a validation

PS: Women get tattoos too.

I am actually a fan of tattoos and have a lot myself.

I am not gonna try and convince you to change your taste. I respect that

but at the same time.

I am SICK of seeing comments like "Such a hot boy.. why ruin it with tattoos". "Why would you destroy your body like that". (go to any PORN blogs, you'll see comments like this everytime someone posts a guy with tattoos)

I understand Tattoos are not everyone's cup of tea. But to say we ruin our body with them and don't respect ourselves just because we have a different way of expressing ourselves? That's a bit much, don't you think?
