I've seen far too much really talented "street art" to consider it mere
vandalism. Tagging objects with gang trash OTOH, is vandalism.
Don't get me going on tatoos. I spend more time trying to get rid of them,
either by creative posing or creative cloning than I would care to.

Maybe I wasn't clear ... I feel the same way about tattoos as Richard
feels about graffiti.
Although I don't think I've ever seen a 2000 year old tattoo.
