yesterday, a friend of mine, what would i think if she get a tattoo.

she just want to express herself more and the best way it seems is to get a tattoo. her concern is that it might just get in the way when she applied for a job after graduated. i told her that i think the only way it'd be an issue if she did apply for PNS or banking institution - or any position where your appearance really matter.

if you're healthy, tattoo can't make you failed on health test/medical check-up. i also told her to sport a temporary tattoo first, to put it right where she want her permanent one, and get the feeling of having a tattoo, for a permanent tattoo is just gonna stick forever to her skin.

she also asked, "what would you guys be thinking of a woman like me had tattooes?"

i told her, "personally, i think it is sexy, it's sensual, it's hot! as long as the tattoo suit her and she is comfortable with them.

"what about the stereotyping of tattoed person = bad person. it worse if it's a woman?"

"well, if you're more interested in what other people might think, then you better not get one. if you feel you can go on ignoring other people's opinion, then go get one!"

now, you, dear reader, after reading this, you know where i stand on this matter. i just asked you for your opinion, are tattoed women equal bad girls?

let me know, please.
