So apparently this is the first Miss America pageant where tattoos are being shown on women's bodies and people are making a big deal of it.
To read the comments underneath some of the pictures online of the pageant you'd think these girls murdered their children in public with fishhooks:
"What happened to "purity" in women and a good positive role model for other young women? Why the tattoos and gestures that are not a positive symbol for other women?" -That was written as a comment online left by a WOMAN named Jennifer.
Since when is getting tattoos not "pure"? Since when is having a tattoo not a positive message for people?
As someone who personally has 8 tattoos below the belt, I find it ignorant and outdated to think that having tattoos is negative.
In fact, I look at most tattoos as one the longest commitments most people make in their entire lives!
Tattoos are most of my friends' longest relationships...
but i question if that's because they can't run screaming off the bodies they are imprinted onto....
***Shouldn't we be encouraging commitment in this digital age of non-commital, lacksidaisical apathy?***
