    Smoking is probably the biggest one for me though tattoos are pretty awful as well.

      Tattoos? Man that’s interesting. Though specific tattoos can easily turn me off, and placement, I’m surprised at blanket tattoos.

      Here are some examples of what i think traps can be amazing for. Incorporating scars that help with trauma from the cause of them

      I really like the idea of turning a reminder of horror or depression into something that can be wonderful to look at

        To me, this feels like drawing a red circle around a defect that almost no one would notice otherwise. Whether it helps someone with their trauma or not is irrelevant here, as I’m speaking purely about appearance.

        I don’t mind small tattoos. I’m not a fan of them, and I’d prefer none at all, but one or two small ones aren’t a dealbreaker for me. Ironically, the only type of tattoo I actually find kind of attractive is a tramp stamp - which even many tattoo enthusiasts tend to dislike.

        If I were to psychoanalyze myself a bit here, I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that I have quite a few moles on my body, which I absolutely hate. So maybe there’s some resentment toward people who have naturally clear, “clean” skin - and then choose to cover it with tattoos.
