I have no tattoos, but have occasionally contemplated getting one. The body is a temple, but we adorn it with clothing, jewelry and the manipulation of makeup and hair cutting.
Let's also not forget that many Hindu women pierce their noses and ears - also a form of body modification done for the sake of surface appearance. Ultimately it's a personal decision. In any case, I think people need to give what they want tattooed on them a LOT of thought over several months before making it permanent. It's just common sense.
Agreed not just women, young brahmin boys get their ears pierced too and are supposed to maintain all their life but these days no kid likes to be laughed at in school .
