The Tattoo World Continues To Ramp Up

I've taken a few months to dive into research about everything related to tattoos and those of us who are part of this world. The numbers are nothing less than amazing.

More than 35% of the US population has at least one tattoo. This is up from 24% in 2006. Just two years and more than a 1000% increase in popularity. What does this mean? Please.....I'm not even thinking about taking another two months off to dig into that subject. Here's what's important....

Enjoy yourself in the pursuit of being yourself. If you have been inked and pierced and laced....we'll chat about that in the future....just enjoy yourself in the pursuit of .... let's call it artistic expression. For some of us it's about rebelling against everything that's conservative and just basically un-cool and boring.

Life is too long to go around wanting to do something that's as completely personal as getting a tattoo or having a piercing or two installed on your own body, but hesitating because of the fear of what people will say or think about it.

People of the world....get a grip. There's lots more important stuff going on in the world for you to focus on....
