I am pretty sure they do it because everybody else in their peer group does it.
Many new girls who start in that business don't want to be the new inexperienced girl who everybody recognizes as that.
So that try to do what all the others do: Drink, smoke, tattoos, gamble, etc.
And once they do that, they are part of that group, and then it becomes difficult to get away from that group, because with all those tattoos they are marked for life.
Personally, I prefer the beginners without tattoos. But obviously there are not many of them.
Thailand's muted response to this incident is strange to me. If a Mexican gunboat fired on an American fishing vessel, or an Indonesian gunboat on an Australian vessel, those western countries would react aggressively and there would be a diplomatic stand-off at the very least.
However, the Thai/Myanmar incident has attracted little dometic media and doesn't seem to be a big deal to the Thai government.
Maybe human rights really are less valued in Asian diplomacy with any tough talking done behind the scenes. Or maybe western powers over-react when similar incidents occur?
