I find this article hilarious. Everything is from the author's perspective with very little (none?) from that of a person with a tattoo. As if the author couldn't fathom the idea of asking what someone actually thought and instead goes into wild speculation of their motivations.

The author has no problem making general statements about the motivation of the tattooed but then finds the idea that there is a community or shared way of thinking that binds them inconceivable.

The amount of time and effort people put in to not understanding but still disliking things that don't effect them has always and continues to blow my mind...
