And any image that is that significant is trivialized when you wear it like that.

how

it feels like the equivalent of toddlers drawing on themselves with markers to me

So it doesn't trivialize it at all

My body is just another thing to draw on.

I also don't see the point of getting one where no one can see it. Like why get one at all then?

Personal satisfaction

Not everything is to please or show off to everyone else

this is a myth

everything is done, on some level, for at least one other person--or a vague group of individuals

if you were the only person in the world, and you knew how to give yourself tattoos, would you?

personal satisfaction is a myth?

fucking what?

personal satisfaction is a myth?

fucking what?

basically yeah

i mean, i can't imagine being so disconnected from other human beings to the point where i can be satisfied with my self, without the influence of anything or anyone from the outside at all

that doesn't sound healthy to me

Well basically, i want to look like this minus the neck.

ot: I mean if you asked me a few years ago, I'd say I like them and want a sleeve, now, I still like them, some can look very nice. (Piercings too) But I don't think I want one anymore, since money and well, once you got one you cant go back.

Alright man. You keep on applying your narrow mimded objectivist worldview to everything.

might make a good sqs

because i can play devil's advocate all day

you might think you only play video games for personal satisfaction--but what good is personal satisfaction if you don't have anybody to play with, or if you don't have anyone to communicate your ideas of the game with

would i be playing fallout 3 if people weren't interested in my thoughts on it?
fuck no

it's a fun game, but is it i-would-continue-to-play-this-even-if-i-was-completely-alone fun? HELL no

nsfw?

Tattoos are cool

that is ridiculous

at least it would give you the extra incentive to maintain your form

I do plan on getting one, not nothing overly spectacular. I'm probably going to do a constellation i like since, well, I'm majoring in astronomy. I've seen this couple at my astronomy club with matching tattoos, the girl had a moon with great detail on her arm while the guy had a rocket ship on his.

if there's one thing i like about space, it's constellations

i think it's amazing how they haven't really shifted at all over the last however many centuries

do you know how long it would take for them to just go totally out of alignment forever
'cause that would suck

a couple thousand years from now. Spica will be our new north star due to precession of the earth's axis.

if you went to a psychologist and told them you didn't believe in self satisfaction they would say that you were the unhealthy one

it's not that i don't believe in self-satisfaction

i just don't believe in this notion that people can do things solely for their own satisfaction

that makes no sense fam

that makes no sense fam

it makes perfect sense, actually

people give us purpose--there is no reason to do anything unless there's other people to confer to

Thanks fam

I wouldn't get one, but I like them on others sometimes.

I'm kinda half and half on it. In most cases, people overdo it a bit. Or they pick some ugly ass fucking tattoo that doesn't match. But there's a few I'm occasionally keen on.

Full body ones, when done right, look pretty damn stunning. And I think it deserves a little bit of recognition. Both in part for the person who decided to basically make an irreversible change to their body, and for picking such a design. And of course, the tattoo artist(s) themselves who had the skill to make it all work.

I guess it more comes down to the people. Some people just naturally look better under certain circumstances when applying styles. Kinda like how one person might look better with short hair over long hair. Or with a certain type of beard.
