Pink Tattoo Lips For Men?!

The western world has contributed to a lot of beauty trends and phenomenons throughout the continent of Africa– some being positive, others not so much. One new fascination is the “Pink Lips” trend, booming in Nigeria.

For a mere $30, men have been heading–in flocks– to tattoo parlors to have their bottom lips made pink or red. In the video above, the shop owner claims that they get around ten customers a day looking to get the procedure. “We help out those with black lips, to clean their lips and make them pink,” said the tattoo artist.

Some have called me a G. basher, so I'm trying my best not to come across as one with my opinion on this new thang.

A guy. . . who probably has manly hair on his body. . . wants to tattoo his lips pink. . . I've gotta ask, WHY???

Of course the answer is that they want to be more attractive. . .

. . . But to who whom?

Certainly not the girls. . . unless I'm missing something here. Maybe I'm not on top of my game anymore, 'cos if I was, I'd have noticed that women now find men with pink lips more attractive. Or maybe I'm just hanging out with the wrong kind of women.

I'm old school like that. (But that's not the point!).

The point is that the expression of one's sexuality and freedom is causing people to do things that creeps you up. These days you can't take a piss in a bathroom with another guy around anymore.

I'm scared. . . I'm really scared. When another guy steps into the bathroom with me, my butthole suddenly puckers up!

Don't get me wrong: I've got nothing much against gays and the expression of gay and feminine tendencies, it's just that sometimes, men tend to get overboard with it.

When they started making perms, we spoke up. . . People told us to "Talk to the hand, duhh!!"

When they started plaiting the hair, we raised eyebrows. . . People said we should raise our consciousness and open-mindedness instead. Others said we should go jump off a cliff.

When they started piercing their ears and wearing earrings we screamed blue bloody murder, seeing as it was becoming difficult to discern who was male anymore. . . People told us to go hug a transformer.

Now they're wearing tight pants. We opened our buccal cavities. . . And people said it was fashion. . . And told us to shut our trap.

Now this.

I want to see what excuse they've got this time.

If you're gay, why don't you just go ahead and declare it, so we can understand certain actions, that way, we won't have to think you've gone round the bend.

Oh yeah, I forgot. . . There' s that 14 year jail sentence hanging over your head.

Guess you can't have it all.

The rest of us will just have to settle with men with plaited hair, earrings, tight pants and tattooed pink lips. . .

WHERE HAVE ALL THE MEN GONE TO?!!
