Tattoos? Man that's interesting. Though specific tattoos can easily turn me off, and placement, I'm surprised at blanket tattoos.

Here are some examples of what i think traps can be amazing for. Incorporating scars that help with trauma from the cause of them

I really like the idea of turning a reminder of horror or depression into something that can be wonderful to look at

    To me, this feels like drawing a red circle around a defect that almost no one would notice otherwise. Whether it helps someone with their trauma or not is irrelevant here, as I’m speaking purely about appearance.

    I don’t mind small tattoos. I’m not a fan of them, and I’d prefer none at all, but one or two small ones aren’t a dealbreaker for me. Ironically, the only type of tattoo I actually find kind of attractive is a tramp stamp - which even many tattoo enthusiasts tend to dislike.

    If I were to psychoanalyze myself a bit here, I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that I have quite a few moles on my body, which I absolutely hate. So maybe there’s some resentment toward people who have naturally clear, "clean" skin - and then choose to cover it with tattoos.
