    Oh boy, an incoming thread filled with people talking about why tattoos are bad/not for them. I've never seen one of these before.

    I don't know why people love to be so opinionated about other people's tattoos.

    Either way, tattoo fan or not - that's a good-looking tattoo and a really interesting view into the process.

    @Kris Aubuchon: even as an artist myself, I get bored of looking at the same art no matter how good it is. I just can't imagine permanent tattoos on my body just for the art of it. Even if its ideology centered, people change their ideology all the time. I got a 35yr old friend who is ashamed of the tattoo he did when he was a teenager. But what can he do. Its permanent. #cameratattoo

    @StupidSimple: You do realize it is possible to get a tattoo removed, don't you? Sure it is painful, sure it is expensive, but it is possible. If a person is willing to fork out the money to get it, if later they decide they don't want it it is up to them to fork out the money to get rid of it.

    Honestly it comes down to being smart in what you get. Personally I get tattoos of reminders of my past, which does not change. Some people get tattoos of loved ones that past away, their feelings for those people do not change. There are plenty of things under the sun that make meaningful tattoos that's meaning will not change no matter how much you might change.

    If tattoos are not for you, then that is fine, but there is no reason to condone or pass judgement on somebody that has an interest in or gets tattoos themselves. #cameratattoo

    @Forsakenchild: You are talking about the exceptions. Most people get tattoos just because they think its cool at the time. As far as passing judgment, i'm not. I judge people by their character since appearances are deceiving most of the time. That doesn't mean that I can't state my opinion about tattoos just to be politically correct. #cameratattoo

    @StupidSimple: We live in a world of over six billion people, of that six billion people I would bet that greater percentage of people that get tattoos are tribal (and I do not mean the tattoo style). That alone makes your idea of majority completely off base. In a world of so many people I would also have to say it is safe to say that the number of people with tattoos reaches into the millions and that your attempt to assume that you know why the majority of people that get tattoos get them is a bit outlandish.

    You say you don't judge, but make you comments like this, "tattoos are a poor choice. Made by people who either have self confidence issues, or need for attention." That sounds like your judging them to me. #cameratattoo

    @Forsakenchild: I do not intent of arguing this with people who take their tattoos so religiously serious. My original post was intended towards the people who don't. Can you prove to me that most people who have tattoos don't do it to show off (confidence booster) or to feel special (different than the rest) or just because? #cameratattoo

    @StupidSimple: No, I can't, for the same reason I listed that you can't prove it the other way around. It's impossible to prove one way or the other. There are to many people in the world with tattoos, and I'd never attempt to give a reason that I think the majority of people get them as I have no way to back up my word. #cameratattoo

    I know I'll piss some people off in here but as a personal opinion, I think tattoos are a poor choice. Made by people who either have self confidence issues, or need for attention. Everybody is different and unique, no need for an "artistic" skin mutilation to make that more apparent. But that's just me speaking. #cameratattoo

    The only thing about these tattoos is that around 4-5 years time they fade and look like crap. That is why most people just spring for a solid black ink so it looks better for longer. #cameratattoo

    @phunnyballs: Some colors fade, some don't. I need some retouching on my first tattoo, which I got in 1998. But none of the others need any work at all.

    Some solid black ink turns green with time.

    @infmom: It also depends on care, quality of the inks used, etc.

    Then again, I have no problem going back to an artist every few years to get a touch up done if it's needed. #cameratattoo

    The tattoo is actually really nice looking and the method that he used to record it makes it even more awesome. Additionally, that was probably a pretty long and painful session. I have a few (one of them on my ribs) and I don't know that I wouldn't have broken that up into multiple sessions. #cameratattoo

    So the ONLY differences between this and the Hero, is screen size and a measly 32MB of ram. Bargain...YES!

    The HTC Tattoo -

    the buying process hurts like hell; the first couple of weeks are spent in constant irritation; while it looked good in the store, once you get it it's not what you really had in mind; and six months later you really regret getting it.

    I'm told that the sluggishness of the Hero is down to SDHC caching - if you use a faster card than the bundled one it fixes itself right up. On a device that should be free on contract the £25 outlay for an 8GB C4 card isn't exactly onerous.

    @Sockatume: That's the case when running Hero roms on the G1, where the small RAM is supplemented with Dalvik caches and swap on SD. AFAIK the Hero has enough memory to not require the SD.

    The Sense UI is no longer sluggish on the Hero. The leaked update makes it fly like shit of a greased shovel. Check out MoDaCo.com

    I think once the official update hits it would be only fair for you to re-review it.
