Our conclusion was that while the graphics of the tattoos are in a traditional sense art, the act of being tattooed like this was performance art in that it had made us stop and think about the way people treat their bodies.. . . I guess growing old gracefully was not on her list of priorities.
It's a celebration. These pics were obviously taken at multiple times, at a convention or conventions, where she is garnering the praise and admiration of a community of her peers.
