“All I would say about tattoos is that they often
make beautiful people more beautiful, and edgier, but that they always make
ugly people uglier and less edgy. On the whole I dread tattoos because, being
more or less eternally corpulent, I would live in constant fear of seeing my
skin yo-yo across the contours of any tattoos I might have if I ever succeeded
in going on a diet. Besides, I am never sure what a collection of tattoos
really signals. Perhaps defiance or unorthodoxy? But aren’t both of these contrived?”
