i'm speaking from a perspective of just pure logic

No, you're just trying to apply your own opinion as fact to describe a group of people.

So what?

I shouldn't have to qualify every single one of my opinions with a capitulatory "but that's just my opinion" to placate losers who are gonna be offended by my opinions. Fuck that. How about instead of doing this petty shit, you explain to me what your problem with my opinion is? Why do you have to focus on how I said it, like it matters?

Well to be fair, think about it. The primary reason. You look at somebody who has a tattoo. Your eyes are drawn. The more they have, the more you stare. Same with piercings.

Like I said. Arms. If I were to get a tattoo, or tattoos, it would be my arms or hands, since those are all I see all day. I don't spend all day looking around in the mirror at myself. And I don't think most people do either.

To some people, tattoos can have a meaning, so I could see them being elsewhere, even if the person never really gets a chance to admire them.

But, generally, it seems like the vast majority of the purpose of a tattoo, is to

A) Make a statement to be seen
B) Mark one as being different
C) Added because they can indeed look very nice

All three of these reasons, are visible displays, and therefore, most likely, primarily rooted in self centered origins, for the purpose of display or attention. The purpose of attention, may not be absolute. But it's no doubt the primary underlying cause.

The generalization, but meh, not like it matters, I'm just bored.

Yes, I'm saying EVERYONE who changes their physical appearance in ANY WAY is only doing it because there are people around to see it. That's my argument. If you disagree, you disagree, but don't tell me I'm wrong because it's a "generalization", as if all generalizations are wrong just because they're generalizations.

Maybe someone with an actual opinion on the damn subject can actually demonstrate to me why someone would modify themselves if not just for attention.
