Some like to smoke, some hate it.  Some love tatoos and some hate them.  If you want to smoke, smoke.  If you want tatoos, get them. But understand that every action has it's risks and costs, like emphysema and older, weathered sagging tatoos.  I myself like to see a great movie or sporting event, read a good book, take a nice walk or bicycle ride and when I want to spend some money on me, for myself, to make me feel good or better, I see a wonderful, sexy provider.  It sure beats a smoke or tat (or pierce, for that matter) IMHO.
