So is getting tattoos a "cool" thing? The only message i'm seeing in such behavior is a inferiority complex, that a society has to adopt Western culture in order to be seen as a progressing country, their must be strip clubs, bars, pubs, tattoos and wild youth getting drunk and partying having hangovers, indeed these are signs of a progressing society, we must accept these foreign ideas in order to be accepted as a progressing, modern, and liberal nation by the west, but alas do these people not know that they will not accept us no matter how we throw our selves in front of them.
