Everybody's getting a tattoo, so I should get one, and really, so should you, and well, we wouldn't want to feel left out, so we should all get one. Anybody who doesn't have a tattoo is just so... 
Well, ten or twelve years ago women with tattoos were on the edge. New. Exciting. Boldly going... Now?? Just part of the herd.
And I don't like herdthink.
I read that tattoo parlors do their best business right after the bars close. I wonder if that is true.
