This is one of those subjects that shows how culture changes, and how what's appealing to one generation or people in one place is different from others. I fully understand how someone's "likes" are different from mine.
Growing up in a Navy town in the 60s and 70s, I associate tattoos with sailors and cheap porn. 'Course, the world has totally changed and now I'm the geek.

My biggest beef with styles today is over-use of the razor, if ya know what I mean. I like women, not girls.
