The ladies with the bows on the back of their legs, in the hamstring area, I agree... it is to make the illusion that they have on stockings. I have seen some done very well and are beautiful. I have seen them rather plain. Regardless, it is something they choose to have on their body and the only thing that matters is that they like it. I would hate to have people criticize my tats... it's really not anyone's business what I have inked on my body. The only time I think it should be open to public scrutiny is if the person in question is aspiring to be a model. Otherwise, the topic is rather moot.
