Take a good look at Kitten's face. Those tattoos are permanent. They aren't Henna. No Cracker Jack temporary tattoos that you can rub off with alcohol. This is the real fucking deal.
According to a Reuters article which really was no more than a profile on some Portland tattoo artist, tattoos are hitting the mainstream, with more than 38 percent of Americans between the age of 18 and 25 having at least one tattoo, while the number increases to 40 percent for those 26 to 40 with at least one.
Yes, people are getting tattoos, but how many of that 38 to 40 percent has something as extreme as Kitten's face tattoo? My guess would be that a good majority of them have something like their arms, shoulder, lower back or ankles done. Maybe .0001 percent of the tattooed population have their faces done.
Now, in other news, real important news that affects all of our lives in one way or another, former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day got the French phrase Je ne sais quoi on the inside of her left middle finger, something that's apparently already been done by Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna and a few others, while rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent has been getting a good amount of his ink removed to increase his chances of landing roles in Hollywood.
So, with 50 Cent removing his tattoos to keep the big-wig movie execs happy and with Aubrey O'Day getting blasted on over at TMZ.com, PerezHilton.com, DListed, and all of the other paparazzi, you have to question if we really have moved forward in giving some mainstream acceptance to the almighty tattoo or is the world still just not ready?
