Burning Questions: Tattoos - are they artistic and beautiful or tacky and ugly?

When you see someone with symbols or pictures on their skin do you admire the artistry of the work and the person’s individuality, or do you see tattoos as unsightly blemishes?

Do you think people should cover up their tattoos while they’re at work? Have you ever thought less of someone just because they have tattoos? Do tattoos look more attractive on some body parts than others?

Do you have tats yourself? What made you get them? What puts you off getting one if you don’t have any?
