There is a book somewhere that says the human body is like a temple - a great, big fleshy temple that reflects the preferences of its owner. If a body tattoo is like a paint job on a temple then it can only be seen as adorning the corporeal aspect of a singular person's worship.
Looking at the human form is a common pass time among people sitting in shopping malls and coffee shops. Men can be seen to admire the form of passing females (or males depending on their preference) inconspicuously or sometimes overtly. Women tend not to ogle men quite so closely except of course when the object of their admiration is sporting a comely body tattoo. Clothes often cover the wearer's personal statement of worship and so it is better to do one’s ogling down at the beach. A nice sunny day can be a powerful incentive for people to remove covering garments and display themselves in the open air. Whether you choose to worship in a secret place by having a piece which would be hidden primarily under your clothes or by being bolder and getting a piece that covers part of your face (is that a snake on your face?) the action is significant. Let’s hope that the artist you choose is aware that your newest addition is reflective not only of your personality but also that it can be construed as having a deeper meaning.
It begs the question "does a monkey want a body tattoo?" The natural and obvious answer is of course "no" because that would be cruel and unseemly. No carrier of fur should have hidden things under there. It would be too much like that scene from that movie where the kid has some kind of tattoo that the protagonist mentions and then tries to discover if only to verify the kid's parentage.
Because a happy person is one who can express themselves with utter freedom and abandon, the body tattoo can be a vital part of everyone's game plan where it comes to showing their true intent. Ask your mother some time if she is still living or is not on vacation, whether she would have wanted to you be a self assured and expressive individual imbued with the qualities of thoughtfulness, resourcefulness and a worldly joie de vivre. I would wager my bottom dollar that she would because it is clearly the intent of every parent to have all kids grow as big and strong as they can be. This would be the best way to demonstrate that you are on side with these comments.
