@@PuggleCake She was beautiful before the tattoo. A smoke show in fact. But she could get a part in the next Grudge or Ring movie. Ya know, because she looks gd horrifying. No one is asking where this tribal tradition came from either. Probably, most likely it was a form of subjugation in a male dominated society. Ironically, just like today. Pacific Islander tribes had slaves and tattooed them to show ownership. Tattooed them under the eyelid in fact. Just because it's ancient and exotic doesn't mean it's a good decision or being woke. Time for everyone to take a world history course and watch a documentary instead of Bravo or the news.

[@alexsmith1207]

@@EnterpriseNCC-1701 Well since you didn't elaborate and I was wondering what you meant by New Zealand considering it acceptable; Sending a New Zealand diary company Frontera they told me this: applying for a job with someone who had a tattoo can be unprofessional (depending on the tattoo) and less likely to get in, but it's against the New Zealand law if the tattoo alone is considered for not choosing him/she for the job. It's also against our rules and New Zealand policy if he/she comes from a cultural/group background. So tattoos can be acceptable all over the world and more if you come from a cultural standpoint which makes a lot more sense.
