Craving or Addiction ??

When is the line between loving the tattoos or being addictive ? Some says it's just a "craving," some says it's an "addiction." Jan Tice, executive director of Janus, an alcohol and drug program that offers detox and residential treatment, says "It's an interesting kind of addiction. There's a couple of elements to it. They can love the feel of the tattooing, the line between pleasure and pain. We know in the biochemical process, the endorphins - our own natural heroin - are released as a process of pleasure and pain. I, personally, don't mind tattoos here and there as long as they look cohesive - not prisoners type. SOURCE

I think it's an addiction. If they consider that an art it's their choice, we live in democracy.
