IDK, I can't really decide.

What do you think about the free tattoos on environmental themes, is that gross and tacky?

Does it make it gross and tacky if those environmental themes align with political policy?

It would definitely be gross and tacky if it were an open offer. The limitation to 3 per day or festival changes it somehow IMO. If there were no limitation on numbers then it would somehow be tantamount to exploiting poor people. The scarcity makes it a publicity stunt.

I don't think i really have a problem with it. I mean I wouldn't do it, and I think it's a bit weird that someone would do it, but if they want to... have at it IMO.
