Certainly there are more tattooist-piercer studios in
this town than ever before, but I do wonder if it hasn't
peaked to a certain extent, like Starbucks only more
so: on the basis that people only have a finite amount
of skin each to cover.
I'm just surprised to find it quite so quiet as this, given
that although USENET is back at 1985 levels of traffic
(yeah, before my time too), there is more bodyart in
****, pop and public life than ever. Not every forum was
mega busy but this one was hundreds of posts a day.
Then again, I was surprised to find a talented artist
who wanted to get into tattooing reluctant to use my
legs as practice a few years ago, as I wouldn't've let
him use discrete approaches to motif application so
much as had a general plan in mind already.
I'm considering chasing a machine up for my own use
in the not-too-distant as it happens. My design aesthetic
and understanding of symbols has developed sufficiently
for me to once more be enthusiastic about the challenge
of working up stuff I want, IMO. Nice to see there is still
some life about.
Ironic really that USENET is one place employers these
days are not really turning in order to "get an impression"
of candidates prior to hiring, as it's all so much more of
a disparate platform. The public domain has thus become
one place on-line privacy is running at quite high levels.
Besides, I'm still not comfortable with the amounts of
proprietary access to information forum-owners not only
have but can sell, wholesale, overnight.
Bu hey, I always was one of the uncool and no-crowd-
following people without sufficient music channels to
really get down with the kids and their humour...
So who's still here then?
