     I'm not sure why so many people wear texts on their clothing and on their skin.  Perhaps they feel that such portable writing serves to say something about themselves. I dont believe that clothing and tattoos should be grouped within the same category. "#puttingontext" in the form of a shirt is one thing, youre not stuck with it for the rest of your life.  To get some form of writing put on your body in the form of a tattoo is a completely different story. A tattoo is permanent so that requires more of a conscious choice of what they decide to sit through the pain for and pay a lot of money for as well. 
     Putting text on by wearing clothes has a different connotation. If you didnt have anything on your shirt then youre wardrobe would be rather plain. The text on your clothes can be graphic tees because you find them funny. They can also show where you come from, many people have a lot of tshirts and sweatshirts from their high schools or colleges. These versions of text is different than what people generally put on their body. If they get a textual tattoo then it will usually be a quote that some one said or something from the bible. These texts arent on tshirts, so that is why i dont think that they should be grouped together in the same category
