I'm watching one of my Discovery Channel Video Library VCDs entitled Human Canvass and I thought it was about the human skin. Apparently, it is - sort of. It's about the skin as a human canvass - piercing and tattooes, mostly tattooes. I've been interested in all that since High School. I know a lot of people don't like it and you'd find most guys being turned off by body piercings and tattooes. I don't see those affecting sales of any porn magazine tho although I don't really read/watch any, I refuse to believe that the people they hire are totally clean and untouched - skin modification speaking.

Anyway, my parents are against it so I guess I can't get any yet. Actually, even though I really like tattooes and have already ideas of what I want, I haven't really taken the plunge for a number of reasons. But I figure that when I marry, then I'd probably get one. Because then, I'd be able to ask my husband if he's okay with me having one since he is, after all, the one who'll be seeing my body for the rest of my life. So I guess that means I have to marry someone who's confident enough in himself and is supportive of everything I want to do and backs me up in my own growth. Or whatever. And yet somehow, I dig slightly old-fashioned guys. So there's my dilemma

But then as I was watching... I saw this guy, Skitch, who was interviewed because he's a tattoo artist and he has tattooed his face... he also does tattooes on necks and faces of others and they have this mini modern "tribe" filled with others who like putting tattooes on their faces and like, yknow, body art. He started tattooing his face when he was 21. Surprisingly... I dug the guy. I saw his before picture, and he was cute. But then as he was being interviewed... I couldn't believe I got turned on by his tattooes! Am I that... erm... unique? Or would 'weird' be the better word? But he really was cute. Even though he had this really weird piercing on the bridge of his nose... and all his piercings were a bit weird... but taken as a whole picture... man, he's cute! Really, really.
