tattoos are for posers


unless you are a sailor or a professional meth dealer having tattoos makes u a follower sheep, prove me wrong

reply

why are you excluding sailors & meth dealers?

also does that include memorial tattoos of people who have passed away ?

reply

yes memorial tattoos are especially cringe. u should remember people in you mind. getting some dumb doodle of them on your skin just so other people feel sorry for you is the most poser/attention whore thing u can do. i exclude meth dealers and sailors cuz they actually do really dangerous high risk jobs and getting tats isnt posing since they are actually living hardcore lifestyles

reply

OTHER THAN SAYING "CRINGE" AND BITCHING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S CHOICES ON THE INTERNET LIKE YOU HAVE A DENTED BRAIN,OF COURSE.πŸ™‚

reply

ofcourse this jabroni is defending tattoos lmfao, getting tats the same level mental illness as tranny chopping their junk off. why pay hard earned money just to ruin healthy skin with cancerous ink unless ur full on retarded?!??

reply

DO YOU EVEN HEAR THE SHIT YOU SAY?...YOU SOUND LIKE AN IMMATURE 8TH GRADER.

reply

Agreed...I think its a waste of a battle K.

reply

at least i got no tattooooos

reply

COOL...VIRGIN FLESH...THEY PAY EXTRA FOR THAT.πŸ‘πŸΎ

reply

what r u talkin bout u perv?

reply

Tattoos are trashy. They serve no purpose.

reply

they do have one purpose, to show everyone around u thst you have low self esteem and that you are dumb enough to think doddling on yourself will make u "cool"

reply

The indigenous peoples of Borneo have had tattoos for hundreds of years before it was cool. The Nubians to the south of Egypt are known to have used tattoos thousand years prior. Sailors and meth dealers are the posers.

reply

"Hundreds of years... thousands of years prior"

This is the 21st Century and this isn't Borneo or ancient Egypt. Further proof that our society is regressing.

reply

Further proof?

reply

Look at how some people present themselves in public. No pride in grooming or attire. And this is becoming more frequent.

reply

I think more people are grooming today than in the past.

reply

With women, I don't mind a small tattoo but when I see one huge one or a bunch of small ones, I find it such a huge turnoff. My brother has a thing for girls with tattoos and he tells me I'm ignorant and living in the 20s because I think they're ugly.

And I always laugh when people with tattoos say, "they mean something to me". I mean, obviously it does, but that doesn't mean I can't think they're ugly. And I'm sure a guy with a Hitler tattoo has meaning behind his tattoo too.

reply

I've actually met one or two people who have said that there is no special meaning and that they just got a random one done.

reply

I don't understand how anyone could do that to their body. "Here's a tattoo of Homer Simpson taking a shit, because why not".

reply

WHY IS YOUR BODY SUCH A SACRED WORK OF ART?...IT'S JUST MEAT AND BONE...SOME FOLKS ENJOY DECORATION...SOME DON'T...BUT ALL ARE MADE OF THE SAME ROTTING FLESH.

reply

I just find it weird using your body as an art canvas. Sorry, I know you got a few.

reply

Yet make - up is using a body as a canvas. It's just not permanent. (well in most cases)

reply

I think permanently is a factor. It's like when you write something on your hand when you don't have paper. It's a lot easier knowing you can just wash it away.

reply

I think that's the appeal. It's a statement that stays. There are some really horrible looking tattoos out there, but unless it's misspelled, I don't judge someone by their art work. Or the holes they have.

reply

Even this guy?

reply

What about him? He's making a statement with his looks. Honestly if I came across someone who looked like that I'd want to talk to them. If he wasn't tattooed a person like that would still find ways to express themselves. Do I find him attractive? No. But he didn't do that for me. I knew a guy who got his tongue split. He was an intelligent person, he just had a desire to have it done. I think his sex partners might have liked it.

reply

IT IS INSANE TO THINK YOU GET YOUR TONGUE SPLIT...AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING TO HAVE IT RE-SPLIT BECAUSE IT HEALS BACK TOGETHER.

reply

I know right? I couldn't do anything to my tongue. I know quite a few people who have had their tongues pierced, but that was one area I just couldn't do.

reply

EYEBROW,NOSE,LIP,8 OR 9 IN MY EARS...ALL DONE MYSELF...NOTHING BELOW THE NECK THOUGH...THAT FREAKS ME OUT...I HAVE NOT PUT ANYTHING IN ANY OF SAID HOLES IN AT LEAST 10 YEARS THOUGH.

reply

I let my ears grow in 20 years ago, but I do have a few below the neck.

reply

YOU ARE JUST FULL OF SURPRISES.πŸ™‚

reply

When they are below the neck it is a "Surprise!" 🀣🀣🀣

reply

I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER TO HAVE A MAGNET WITH ME IF I EVER RUN INTO YOU.πŸ˜‰

reply

And just exactly what "statement" is this guy making?

reply

THAT HE IS THE LIZARD MAN...DUH.

reply

That's what I'd want to talk to him about. I don't get it, I'd not do it to myself, but he did.

reply

I don't judge what kind of person I think he is, I just think it's ugly.

reply

Yeah, I can't say that it's attractive, but I've seen people with no tattoos who are pretty unattractive too.

reply

THATS THE LIZARD MAN...HE DID THAT FOR THE ATTENTION...THAT IS HOW HE MAKES HIS LIVING.

reply

I guess he's got confidence. There are people who are elf-conscious about scars or beauty marks.

reply

THERES A TIGER MAN TOO...DUDE HAD MARBLE AND FILAMENTS INSTALLED TO GIVE HIM TO WHISKERS AND FACIAL SHAPE OF A TIGER...TO GO WITH HIS FULL BODY TATTOO.

reply

This guy? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BSxwd3iIcAAV0qN.jpg

reply

THAT IS A DISTINCT CHOICE...THATS FOR SURE...I WAS JUST THINKING...HANGING WITH THAT GUY WOULD BE LIKE CHILLING WITH LION-O FROM THE THUNDERCATS...COULD BE KIND OF COOL...ROLLING WITH THE THUNDER PACK...GETTING TACOS AND SLURPEES...HITTING ON CHICKS AT THE WALMART.

reply

Hey hey! You're a married man!

reply

the guy has some excessive body image issues.

reply

HE MAKES GOOD MONEY AS THE LIZARD MAN...LIKE A MODERN DAY SIDESHOW CHARACTER.

reply

but in the end, he is not happy with himself.

reply

I DON'T KNOW HIM..HE COULD BE...HE HAS A WIFE AND A BIG HOUSE AND SOME FORM OF FAME,WHICH HE OBVIOUSLY WANTED.

reply

I GET YOUR SIDE...MY DAD HATES TATTOOS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY,VERY VOCAL ABOUT HIS OPINIONS...I ALSO KNOW AND HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WITH GOD AWFUL INK...FOR WHATEVER REASON I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE LOOK AND IDEA OF TATTOOS...TATTOO WAS ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST ALL THROUGH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL...I ALSO FIND WOMEN WITH TATTOOS TO BE EXTREMELY SEXY.

"Why do people get tattoos?" I have asked this question on multiple forums. I've never received an answer.

reply

They want to be edgy which translates into.... yep... poseur.

reply

And since when is it "edgy?" Just because some pro athlete or celebrity gets a sleazy tattoo doesn't make it "edgy."

reply

It isn't. Thus, poseur. πŸ˜€

reply

And doing this to become a poseur isn't a valid reason.

reply

TWO DIPSHITS AGREEING WITH EACH OTHER OVER A POINT THAT NOBODY BUT THEM BROUGHT UP OR AGREE WITH...PRETTY SAD,BOYS.πŸ™‚

reply

Sorry dude. A bong hit will make you feel better.

reply

OF COURSE IT WILL...YOU'RE STILL A DIPSHIT.πŸ™‚

reply

And? I'll be nice and not say what I think you are. 😁

P.S. The OP is exactly what I was giving my thoughts to so how did no one bring it up?

reply

I could understand a tattoo of a name or a symbol for a loved one who died, but rarely is that the case.

reply

With women, I don't mind a small tattoo but when I see one huge one or a bunch of small ones, I find it such a huge turnoff.

Any tattoos on women are a complete turn-off to me. Seriously, she could look like Miss World, but if she's got tatts (or piercings) I immediately lose my... interest.

reply

Speaking of piercings, bull ring piercings look stupid. And I don't mean as a turnoff, guys look just as stupid with them too. They're so ugly.

reply

Definitely.

reply

i can deal with a tattoo woman if it is just for sex but i do not want to have any relationship with em since it is fucked up to have children with some tatted up trashy girl

reply

What about ear rings or hair styles for that matter? Aren’t all people followers in one way or another?

reply

Speaking of earrings... those so-called "tunnel" or "plug" earrings are just as trashy as tattoos. They stretch the earlobe until it's out of shape, doing permanent damage. I'm talking about these sleazy things: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9CeDEbJiNy0/UAkgDmKzlOI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/9r5g8vCMJuU/s1600/1.jpg

Yes, a lot of people are followers. But some still have a little common sense remaining and wouldn't jump off a cliff just because they saw someone else doing it.

reply

THIS THREAD IS FULL OF DICKEADS AND MONSTERS...AND SAMOANJOES...THAT GUY WORRIES ME SOMETIMES.

reply

And now it has you KapsLockAlski to join the fun.

reply

AWW...YOU NOTICED MY CAPS...HOW CUTE.😘

reply

Tattoos makes a person looks trashy and uneducated. I automatically form a low opinion of a person when I see them covered with tattoos. Especially if it's a person in a highly educated job.

reply

If I owned a business and was hiring, any applicant who came in with tattoos and/or piercings would be shown the door.

reply

Just to be clear, would β€œnormal” piercings that have been common place for years be acceptable? If so, are those people who have those types of piercings just followers also?

reply

Single ear piercings with a modest set of earrings would be acceptable. Not the outrageous stuff. I don't mind someone following conventional fashion. Example: A woman who uses eye make-up sparingly, just enough to enhance her appearance, is fine. One who applies thick fake eyelashes and caked-on mascara along with purple glittered eye shadow is not.

reply

FUNNY HOW YOU THINK THE DEFINITIONS OF NORMAL,MODEST,OUTRAGEOUS,ETC ARE BASED ON YOUR PERSONAL OPINIONS.

reply

Thank you. That is what I was leading up to. πŸ‘

reply

There are the occasional exceptions, but I think most tattoos I see on people are usually really tacky and ugly and too often generic.

I mean if your just gonna get a tattoo, you might as well not bother if your gonna get swirly dark green crap down your arms or a Rosicrucian cross or skulls or flowers.

reply

girl with tattoos+snot ring+punk hair cut+goth makeup/clothes = everything i've ever wanted.

reply

That makes one of us. 😜

ON THIS..YOU AND I ARE SOULMATES.
