Look at the photos and you can see it's not actually in the park the bull is in, but on an extension that was added to the island. If it went in the park the community board would have had a notice ruining the faux surprise placement of it and they could possibly veto it. By placing it on the newly built traffic island it falls under DOTs jurisdiction and requires no approval from anyone but the mayor. This guys corruption is incredible but being on the correct team it all goes pretty much unreported.
I didn't actually know about it until this thread. Now, I just don't care on purpose. But, I like the idea that I could create a time series by making a statue of a child impaled on a bull's horn and placing it across the street.

Yep. I understand.

Neither "Charging Bull" nor "Fearless Girl" are statuaries that represent you well.

"Pissing Pug" fits you better (another statue that was briefly added to the display of a dog lifting his leg on Fearless Girl).

Maybe push something more along the lines of words or images relating to "Fierce", "Tenacious", "Unrelenting" etc? It would seem to capture much the same attitude but would remain much more socially acceptable even though socially unacceptable seems to be what she's going for.

Why is "I like it, I think it looks cool" not a good enough reason to do whatever you want to your body? If you can't "justify" a tattoo to society without attaching a bunch of drama to it, then don't get one. Geez.

I agree to a point

^Well, I think we could all agree that doesn't look cool!

You're joking, right? I mean, you could hire that guy and fill two positions simultaneously!

I always figured I'd get a tattoo that said, "Please don't tell this guy all the E36 M3 we wrote on his back...

...he thinks it's a pirate ship!"

(Fortunately, I have no tattoos)
