I clearly just don't understand the appeal of tattoos. If they were something like makeup you throw on temporarily for an event then sure whatever but... the permanent, painful, and expensive option is the one everybody chooses? To put a picture of a bird on your arm? Lmao why

i think i've met one person that ever did temps outside of the stuff for kids & festivals. it's just not something we tend to do, but i should think places with henna traditions & similar it's probably more common.

but practically speaking, i don't really 'get' the pros for temporary, i'm capricious as fuck about what i want in a tatoo, having to re-decide every two week or every event isn't actually that appealing of a prospect. the only kind of people i can really see getting the most of it are performers that can use them as part of costuming
