Tatoos

Hippies love tattoos, especially ones that depict some aspect of the natural world, or pagan god of nature or environment. A common tattoo for hippie chicks is a flower, or chain of flowers, while hippie dudes prefer marijuana leaves, mushrooms, or other drug references. But hippies don’t seem to understand that this penchant for tattoos goes against the very nature of “natural,” a key component of hippie philosophy. Hippies love natural foods, natural hair growth, natural medicines, protection of nature, and otherwise anything that has the term “natural” in it. Yet, injecting an ink under your skin to permanently memorialize your devotion to weed is about as unnatural as you can get. No one is born with tattoos…unless you consider birth marks to be tattoos. It is unnatural, alien, and even somewhat “industrial” to have yourself branded in such a way. Oh irony…
