Well, that pedestrian observation may be true, but that hardly changes the reality.
People who commit offenses against society or themselves do not care about the opinions of the world either, but that does not mitigate the crime.
. . . Carving out the body with ink or knife is still mutilation of the body regardless of how you rationalize the practice. Some fundamentals of life which are obvious to some are totally obscured from others, but eventually the truth becomes known. It took China 3 centuries (that's right, centuries to even see the obvious) to realize that binding their feet was an abomination and maybe it will take that long for others to realize how ink and metal desecrates the natural beauty of the human form.

As several people said, those with tattoo's do not care what others think. Do you know why? They didn't get them for anyone else. They got them for themselves. At least that's the way I see it.
Maybe some people think that the hobby is all the providers have and will do whatever the gents want or try to keep their bodies "pristine"......but in reality, we all have lives. We all have our own opinions. So do you. If you don't like tattoos or piercings, or whatever you're hypocritical about, then don't see them. But you should not judge them.
Seeing as how you are bible-quoting you should know that only god can judge. Not YOU. Tattoo's are not mutilations. Cutting off parts of your body, branding (maybe) that's still in the eye of the beholder, etc. maybe, maybe then you can cast stones, but for most people tattoo's represent a person's life, their achievements, their loved ones, their trials, their lessons, etc. Who are you to judge?? You pay by the HOUR, not by their lives.
