Dear H&B,
How come every girl has to have a tattoo? It used to be just the hip chicks, now it seems like they all do, from college girls to lawyers. It's disgusting, especially the tramp stamps. Am I the only guy out there who doesn't want to screw someone who looks like a stripper? How do I find a girl who has the originality to not get tatted up?

Dear LMI,
Let’s face it: It’s a body-modifying-centric world we live in, be it tats, piercings, earlobe stretching or Botox, and—especially in the progressive, groovy city in which we live—a tough thing to escape. As to your abhorrence of ink-bearing females, it seems like your concern is not with the tat but what it represents to you. What are you afraid of? A tiny dolphin on the ankle doth not a slattern represent, my friend. Granted, a cheek-wide, above-the-ass pronouncement along the lines of “Super Bitch” or “Tito’s Forever” may not signal the perfect lady for you, but at least it shows some level of dedication. And nothing lasts forever. A survey conducted two years ago by the American Academy of Dermatology revealed that 36 percent of Americans between the ages 18 and 29 have at least one tattoo. I don’t know where you’re hunting for partners, but that still gives you a decent chance of finding a pure-skinned lady.
