sorted by:
a) TATTOO; noun (Dutch taptoe) - "signal calling soldiers or sailors to quarters at night; figuratively say no more"
b) all words suggest meaning to those consenting to ignore predefined meaning (perceivable sound). Consenting to suggested words gives those suggesting the power to define; redefine and contradict the suggested meaning at will.

I'm aware of staining (dyeing)... STAIN, verb - "to blot; to soil; to spot with guilt or infamy; to tarnish; to bring reproach on" and of those who suggest "art" (artificial) to tempt others to ignore natural.
As the temporary (living) one needs to resist the ongoing (process of dying), not mimic it by trying to stain the temporary (body) with suggested permanence (tattoo).
The few suggest temporary body-art to tempt the many to want to hold onto it, hence a gateway-drug to permanent body-art. To re-balance this...embrace the moment when painter expresses upon living canvas, then wash it off to pay response-ability to ongoing origin...the naturally perceivable underneath the artificially suggested.
Your awareness is limited.
a) free will of choice can only exist within the boundaries (limit) of balance. Without balance (need/want)...no choice in-between.
b) LIM'IT, noun - "the part that terminates a thing"...a suggested inversion of the perceivable whole (process of dying) terminating each perceiving partial (living).
c) how would you expand awareness of body-art? Why stain the natural, while tempting self to hold onto the artificial? Why disguise appearances? Why worship the suggested symbolism instead of the perceivable symmetry...a symmetry in motion?
d) color implies "inherent within light", which also implies coexistence with darkness, so why put value on the colors, instead of evaluating the ongoing spectrum of colors, as the center spectator with the free will of choice to paint in-between light and darkness?
e) what is it about being ANOINT'ED - "rubbed with oil; set apart; consecrated with oil" that draws the many to the suggestions of others?
f) COSMETIC, adjective. [Greek; order, beauty.] implies the natural order...not artificial orders suggested by others.
You are a detriment to discourse.
