There are three transcendental virtues, three things worthy of pursuit as ends unto themselves: truth, beauty, and goodness.
“Women don’t owe you pretty.”
I suppose you don't; but going out of your way to make yourself uglier than you otherwise would be is in the same category as Laszlo Toth smashing The Pietà with a hammer. Destroying truth, beauty, or goodness makes the world worse.

Ugliness and prettiness are subjective. I’ve seen a lot of tattoos that I think are pretty, even if I wouldn’t get them myself.
