It's funny. The last reason I received my tattoo was for any sense of individuality or to define my identity. People get tattoos for all sorts of reasons. Sitting down with a good tattoo artist can mean many things. For some people it is getting a tattoo in the spur of the moment and making sure it is what they want. For others it is building a complex relationship and speaking your design through the artist. Other artists rather just do their own thing and have people lend their bodies. Cheap technology will never replace a good artist, and good artists won't be threatened by it. I'd argue your salty response to tribal tattoos as proof that they are an effective form of art. Not exactly my taste, but still legitimate art. What else offends you?
