You have no idea how much Asian-American relationship building your video generates.... :) The thought that came to mind was.. in SE Asia... people who tattoos are probably like the Yazukas... and criminal gangs. I think it was in Imperial China which had this. That people deface their bodies because they broke a rule or a law or something. So it is a form of punishment. But in the West, people tattoo themselves as a form of self harm ? We inwardly hold back our anger, and then tattoo ourselves, in a deliberate way. I think this is why people find it so odd and funny.... Doing this, is like laughing in the face of those harsh punishments... lol.
