tattoos are for posers
unless you are a sailor or a professional meth dealer having tattoos makes u a follower sheep, prove me wrong
shareunless you are a sailor or a professional meth dealer having tattoos makes u a follower sheep, prove me wrong
sharewhy are you excluding sailors & meth dealers?
also does that include memorial tattoos of people who have passed away ?
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
shareOTHER THAN SAYING "CRINGE" AND BITCHING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S CHOICES ON THE INTERNET LIKE YOU HAVE A DENTED BRAIN,OF COURSE.π
shareofcourse 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?!??
shareThe 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.
share"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.
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.
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.
shareI don't understand how anyone could do that to their body. "Here's a tattoo of Homer Simpson taking a shit, because why not".
shareWHY 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.
shareI just find it weird using your body as an art canvas. Sorry, I know you got a few.
shareYet make - up is using a body as a canvas. It's just not permanent. (well in most cases)
shareI 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.
shareI 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.
shareWhat 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.
shareIT 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.
shareI 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.
shareEYEBROW,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.
shareTHATS THE LIZARD MAN...HE DID THAT FOR THE ATTENTION...THAT IS HOW HE MAKES HIS LIVING.
shareI guess he's got confidence. There are people who are elf-conscious about scars or beauty marks.
shareTHERES 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.
shareThis guy? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BSxwd3iIcAAV0qN.jpg
shareTHAT 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.
shareHey hey! You're a married man!
sharethe guy has some excessive body image issues.
shareI 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.
shareThey want to be edgy which translates into.... yep... poseur.
shareAnd since when is it "edgy?" Just because some pro athlete or celebrity gets a sleazy tattoo doesn't make it "edgy."
shareI could understand a tattoo of a name or a symbol for a loved one who died, but rarely is that the case.
shareWith 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.
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
shareWhat about ear rings or hair styles for that matter? Arenβt all people followers in one way or another?
shareSpeaking 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.
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.
shareIf I owned a business and was hiring, any applicant who came in with tattoos and/or piercings would be shown the door.
shareJust to be clear, would βnormalβ piercings that have been common place for years be acceptable? If so, are those people who have those types of piercings just followers also?
shareSingle 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.
shareThere 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.
