NYC Tattoo Parlor...Is this really necessary?

During my first walk around in Second Life's rendition of New York City, I happened upon many discouraging trends in this program. The first, is the fact that people would actually spend time and actual money on getting a completely fake tattoo on their completely fake avatar. Furthermore, these shops used quite provocative poses of scantily clad female avatar models, which just seemed very weird and unnecessary to me. Instances like this show the unfortunate side of Second Life--the deviant aspect. Frankly, I see it as a waste of time to sit there and customize your digital self and partake in questionable activities (such as the various gentleman's clubs around...yes...there are strip clubs in Second Life) or get tattoos in provocative places, or what-have you. I think I felt particularly heated about this instance as this store and several other risque stores were right next to the World Trade Center memorial site, which is probably visited by younger users who are visiting that site for educational purposes.
