I pretty much find Kat Von D of LA Ink to be a bit repulsive and highly annoying.  

You mean most people think she isn't? That's kind of a surprise. Question
Honestly I hear a lot of "she's so hot" from people around here.  I just don't get it.  Especially since she's been scribbled on so much.

I don't necessarily find her unattractive. I like tattoos, but I do think she's maybe overdone the work around her face to where I find it unflattering. Mosty, I just think she's annoying. Goes back to my first impression of her when they crossed over Miami Ink onto an episode of American Chopper and she was being such a snotty artiste on the phone with the Teutuls. Too good for the kind of work they wanted done, that sort of thing. Give me a break.

Speaking of against the grain: I pretty much hate all tattoos (not people that wear them, mind you, just the way they look).  I've been patiently waiting for this fad to die out for 20 years now.

I just find that a lot of people with tattoos have no sense of the tattoos as part of their overall appearance. People just get pictures all over themselves without any thought to making any of it fit together or blend with the shape of their bodies. People are walking around looking like suitcases with stickers all over them. I don't like when people just decide to get a tattoo of something on some part of their body, and give no further thought to it.

I also don't like wimpy tattoos. People who just want to get one, but don't want it to be conspicuous. Women, mostly. They get a tiny flower or a butterfly on their ankle or the base of their spine, or on a toe, just to say they've got one.

Speaking of against the grain: I pretty much hate all tattoos (not people that wear them, mind you, just the way they look).  I've been patiently waiting for this fad to die out for 20 years now. 

My wife has a couple of small tattoos that don't bother me, but in general I just don't get the need people feel for tattoos, or extensive piercing, for that matter. And I've noticed that people get positively addicted to tattoos and piercing. People say "oh, I'm expressing myself." Really? Does that mean that the tattoos and piercings are compensating for a lack of ability to express yourself through words, ideas, or actions? I don't get that argument. Now, I'm not a religious person, but I could understand the argument of someone piercing or tattooing as part of some religious belief. I may think it's wacky, and I would, but I could buy that as a justification before the whole "I'm expressing myself" argument. To some extent I can understand someone getting a tattoo or a piercing because it increases their chance of getting laid. I may question the type of person they are trying to attract, and suggest they use a condom, but I certainly wouldn't judge. I've heard people say it's a form of fetishism. I don't really have fetishes, so I guess maybe I just don't relate to it. Maybe if I did I would get it. Wait, are bad movies a fetish? Hmmm.

And if anyone tells me they are expressing their "individuality" I might have a hard time stifling the urge to punch them in the throat. Individuality? Sorry, with as popular as tattoos and piercings are, I would say that I have a strong argument that NOT getting any tattoos or piercings is more individualistic. Tattoos and piercings do nothing to establish individuality or originality. Nice try, but no.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. I suspect the tattoo and piercing enthusiasts are going to unload on me now.

That's partly a practicality thing (although tattoos aren't, by any means, practical). If you want to work in a more professional/corporate setting, you can't have visible tattoos and you have to be careful about what kind of piercings you have (one or two ear piercings and small nasal piercings are usually okay as long as they don't call much attention to themselves.

Tatoos on women are a turn off for me. 
The female body was and is the pinnacle of God's creation, the most perfect and beautiful thing on the planet (when it is in good condition and properly maintained!)
It does NOT need graffiti to enhance it!!!!

A woman wearing full-back panties is a lot more appealing to me than the same woman wearing a G-string.  This may just be more of my usual anachronistic attitudes; but my generation dictates that women wear thongs in order to be "hot."

I only have a problem with thongs in public when they're combined with low-rise pants/skirts/shorts. Otherwise, no one but the girl in question knows that she's wearing a thong (just like no one but the girl wearing it should know what her bra looks like in public). Why do I have a problem that particular combination? It just screams "I'm easy and open to everyone." There's a difference between dressing sexy and dressing like a slut.

In our part of the woods they call that the "ho stamp" or the "tramp stamp."  It's also been called that on TV. 

And there are plenty of women in our area who fit the description..

Flip flops, a tube top with everything hanging out, and their little tattoos showing. Cigarette in one hand, keys in the other, with some white trash guy with grilled teeth and a backwards hat following behind spouting a laundry list of 4-lettered words as he swaggers in like John Wayne and talking like a Crip or a Blood. "Wi**ers" we call them.

They usually go in the convenience stores to stave off the munchies after their high, (or to get Visine and mint gum to hide their red eyes and their breath.)  I swear to God, COPS could have had 5 more seasons in my neighborhood..
