[QUOTE=Mick Licker]While I used to think tatoos, crazy piercings, silicone tits, etc. were all signs of low class, I'm not sure now. It seems that modern young girls do all sorts of "fashionable" things to be trendy. Oldies like me have to recondition our brains to accept more trendy and punky looks.[/QUOTE]
Tattoos are not really a sign of class in Thailand, as they have always been an intrinsic part of the culture going back hundreds of years. I have students now, who sport tattoos, piercings and plastic noses and who one would describe as very definitely HiSo and filthy rich. My Gig has a Buddhist tattoo at the base of the back of her neck given to her by Ajarn Noo, the same guy who did Angeline Jolie.
