In some asian countries, tattoos aren't permitted in places like pools or hot baths. Like symbols, some asians consider tattoos as a symbol of being a thug or junkie... Just food for thought. Otherwise, she's really nice looking (:

I know this is quite old and the poster has already replied to this, but I literally snorted. You do know that most people in general consider people with tattoos as a symbol of being a junkie or a thug? BUT do you know what that means? It's something called making an assumption, judging before you know a person and ultimately being CLOSE MINDED. I don't want to offend you or say your parents are close minded but it has nothing to do with your culture, though if I was going to make a generalization I could see how since you mentioned that tattoos ARE banned from being visible in certain places in Asia (but they are in many other countries, unfortunately just as they are banned from certain workplaces still in the western world) and because Asian people usually rely highly on a sense of honor and tradition... but it's absurd that in 2011 someone would still think that if you're an asian person, you can't have tattoos and because if you do you're automatically not a good person and aligned with a gang or doing drugs which caused you to get the tattoo. It's even more comical that a Sim should provoke a thought like that, as it's a fictional character and even if more thought had been put into the character like for a book or something.. it's not as though the whole story is known behind the work. Hopefully this doesn't come off as disrespectful, though I hope when you're older you don't make snap judgments about (real) people. Again, I don't think you are close minded but statements like that can indeed lead to closing yourself off from others unique perspectives and different ways of life. I'd also like to say I've seen many asians with tattoos, piercings and colored hair and while I'm not asian myself one of my closest friends is but that doesn't mean I know every asian in the world ever... as you don't!
Anyway, to the original poster this is a beautiful sim and I can't wait to have her in my game! I think I might add even MORE tattoos.
