I recently spoke with a bar girl who had many tattoos and peircings, she also had very short streaked blond hair. I asked her that very question, why?. Her answer was "I don't want to be like everybody else" I was thinking, good for you girl. She is the first Thai person I've met who doesn't want to be a lemming. As a heavily tattooed person myself, I respect everyone's right to their individuallity. Or, using Thainess . . . get tattoo . . .don't get tattoo . . . up to you.
