Ghosts Are Real

There might just be an underground tattoo world. People that cover themselves completely with ghastly skeleton-like tattoos. It's like mocking death I suppose but at the same time why are they doing it really? Is it to intimidate people? I know in prison people get massive tattooing done to intimidate others and stay alive. So what's the reason for this sort of tattooing I wonder? Well, if there's enough people in this world, someone will be curious enough to try it. In the prisons it's the gangs that get those full body tattoos, including the face. But this isn't a criminal thing. It's even scarier looking really than any of those gang tats. I have tattoos but making myself look like a ghost or ghoul or skeleton is wild stuff to me. It is by all means extreme, cause' people will see you and it'll scare people without even trying. And that is something they know will happen but are willing to risk. I suppose it's cool but at the same time thinking about it being permanent is wild. Now if gangs started getting tats like these that would be even scarier than they are already. I imagine the wildest cult getting this sort of thing done. But on the other hand I suppose it's no different than the Jigsaw tattoo guy at the circus. If you're used to living a certain way I suppose seeing this as a cool idea could happen. I dunno, old New Zealand tribe face tattoos are just as odd. It's easier for people when they have a bunch of friends that could accept that and have tattoos themselves. I've seen many a strange thing but this is by far the oddest. But me being a man with tattoos myself, I suppose there's not much I can say about it. In the end it's not my choice to make, I don't control other people's lives and neither do you. People wouldn't do it unless they knew they could get along with it, by having the right job, right friends, right family, right area, etc. so I don't think it really matters. It just looks like a really scary masochist gang thing to me. But if they're not hurting anyone then they're nowhere near as bad as the people that are.
