Conform? Yeah, because that doesn't relate to clothes and hair styles at all. 
There is a chinese family in the market near me who do fake ones, hand painted that last about three weeks. They are really good.
Ouch. Imagine if you had a big tattoo or lots of them and wanted to try and remove it.
How can it be conforming if most people (apparently) don't like them?

Oh, because the process of getting it in the first place doesn't hurt or take time.
Double ouch.
LOL.
I'd probably run screaming when the needle appears. Good luck though, if you go ahead with it.
Cheers. I probably won't even get one after all that 
but I do believe it's possible to have a decent tattoo. Whether it be real tribal tattoos (meaning yo are affiliated with the tribe) or just a really nice piece of art.
It's just a lot of people, like with anything, will give it a bad name by getting Minnie Mouse having sexy with Goofy on their buttock. But even in those cases, I still think, f**k it, do what you want with your own body. At least it'll make my tattoo look better 
It just feels like scratching tbh, uncomfortable rather than painful.
My dad has a tattoo, and it's probably the most disturbing but also most told story by me, that it was the only reason he met my mum.
I believe that Aaron has 'Born in Slough, Die in Slough' tattooed across his chest.

One of my favourite tattoo moments in comedy is when Dave Gorman reveals the 'ID' he had tattooed on his arm after a zealous bouncer wouldn't let him into the bar.
Can't remember whether it was Googlewhack or 'Are you Dave Gorman. Don't suppose it matters much. At all, in fact.
I haven't got a tattoo. Think I'd be more tempted if they lasted for a predetermined amount of time, say for ten years rather than having it forever. When I was sixteen I designed my perfect tattoo. As it was a Fighting Irish and a Bulldog pushing through my ribcage I'm quite pleased I didn't actually have it done. I'm a tiny bit classier now, I promise.

Yeah, that was funny. And the tattooist got his D.O.B wrong by putting it the American way.
