    I think it’s more like our bodies are blank canvases. They need some color and embellishing to really accent what’s already there

      Not really. Bodies are not blank canvases. A house is not a blank canvas. The architect designed it a certain way. Think of a woman’s leg. Even hair is a blemish. Much more so tattoos.

          Not wrong, scrolling through their post history is watching someone beg for down votes and general internet ire.

        I don’t get it. Would you say a river has architecture? Would you refer to an empty desert as a blank canvas? There is no architecture for which there was no intent. Also, canvases are artificial or even abstract constructs — of which our body is not. You seem to be anthropomorphizing things to justify and even romanticize your biases. Interesting use of cognitive load, there.

          What’s ironic is that tattoos introduce intent to the matter, thereby providing something to romanticize.
