To me his body is beautiful the way it is, So no if he gets a tiger, or a rose or whatever that particular image is not the issue. But if you paint over a Van Gogh to express yourself, the original arts beauty is lost. If you cover the Van Gogh with brother Frank from the tattoo shop's art that does not mean it is not beautiful to someone. Just that natural beauty, the flawless skin, or the little imperfections scars etc... the things that tell a story are covered Im no longer following a happy trail from your Naval to my objective, but a tat that reads Welcome aboard. Its just not the same. If tattoos are what you enjoy more power too you, if that is what gets you off No judgement here. If you go overboard to me, its like putting paint thinner on the canvas. Your starting over and what you get some may find attractive but its no longer the same piece to me.
