Talent is a gift. Taste is a separate gift entirely, and the two are not always a package deal. We want to applaud people who put in the hours and develop their skills, but when they deploy them this diabolically, it raises more questions than answers. The execution might be flawless, but the decision to do so is another matter.
Everyone, from nail and tattoo artists to hobby painters and decorators, needs to stop sometimes and ask themselves, “Just because I can, does that mean I should?” Well, we can’t be angry. We cannot even be disappointed. We can only stand back, acknowledge what we are looking at, and respect the commitment even as we question every single choice that led to it.
