This issue is very hard for me to absorb without becoming judgmental.

Yes, I have heard that some tattoos cost $200 or more. I do not know, I have never priced them. My wrinkles are enough adornment for my gorgeous skin.

Some of the tattooed are smoking cigarettes that are six dollars a pack.

Six times thirty=$180.

Shall we assume that some gracious aunt gave them the money for a tattoo for their birthday? Shall we think that the smoking is an addiction over which they have no control?

Will someone point out to me that I don't understand the real issue?

I am not sure how to react without being ugly.
