oh and on a sidenote

I "get" tattoo's, I have tattoo's, I love tattoo's....but this trend is kinda beyond me. Scarification instead of ink? Ok, fine some of them look really neat after their healed, others more gross than anything. I just cant wrap my head around, sitting there willingly having someone cut giant chunks out me...while I'm alert and awake *bleck*. At least with ink if you get a bit older and regret what you've done you can have it covered or removed....what are you supposed to do with this? To each their own, but totally not for me.
