Making a Prison Tattoo in Tompkins Square Park

westysays...

lol his sunburn and hit by buss example are so dumb , the fact is if you could chose you would not have ethor of those things happen to you , and there is a clear difference between accepting things that happen to you by random chance against your will , and then actively doing something that's a permanent alteration.

Not that it matters if sum-one wants to get a tatoo I don't care , but the resoin i wouldnt get a tatoo of say a specifc idea or political concept or what have you is that Im then commiting myself to that idea or as a permiment mark and i think its not very open minded to lock yourself into a certain mind set , you dont know what evidence will change the way you think in the future or what you might identify yourself with as your brain changes with age.

If we didn't have portable maps and portable computers I could definitely see how tatoing diograms and math on you could help though , and if you don't have the ablty to make or ware intricate clothing and its important to show you belong to x tribe or have some form of ID then I can see how that makes perfect sense as well.

on the purely visual art side the perminet aspect of the tatoo is not a banoficail thing might as well just use semi perminent body paint and that way you get the best of both worlds.
