how do you feel about tattoos

Verbatim · November 28, 2015, 11:14:47 AM

I think they're trashy and make you look like a fool, but I mean, whatever.

I feel the same way about dyed hair and piercings and all that stupid shit. I just hate body mods, conceptually speaking.

Have I seen body mods that I thought were actually pretty cool and modest and dignified? Yeah.
But for the most part, they just look really tacky in my opinion.

People get SOOOO OFFENDED when I say stuff like this, which I think is kinda funny. Like, I'm somehow attacking a bit of your character by claiming that tattoos look ugly and stupid (because they do), or something--which I'm not. There's more to being a good person than not having a tattoo, and having one doesn't make you a bad person.

I just happen to dislike them. People will still get mad, though. Oh well.

Ugly as shit.

Ásgeirr · November 28, 2015, 11:17:31 AM

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

One of the biggest turnoffs for me along with piercings and smoking. They look ugly as shit.

BaconShelf · November 28, 2015, 11:19:56 AM

I don't care if other people get them. I think they look stupid, but it's not my problem. I certainly would never get one, though.

Girl of Mystery · November 28, 2015, 11:20:41 AM

But seriously, I don't care.

There's some really cool ass sleeves that I've seen though.

Verbatim · November 28, 2015, 11:21:07 AM

I remember being the only kid in my class who never got any tattoos. They're extremely popular here, and it's a little bit gross.

It's to a point where people no longer ask you IF you any tattoos--they ask you what tattoos you have.

and i'm just like

no
that's dumb
that's... that's just dumb

It's hard to think of symbols are words that I would find meaningful for my entire life. It'd be cool if there was a more temporary tattoo option.

Thun · November 28, 2015, 11:23:04 AM

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

Winy · November 28, 2015, 11:24:05 AM

All depends on what tattoos you get, and where.

Like, getting some symbol representative of a passion or interest on your chest/arm? Yeah that's fine.

Writing your girlfriend's name across your forehead when you've only been dating for three months? Stupid.

Ender · November 28, 2015, 11:24:12 AM

As long as you don't get one that's really stupid they're pretty cool.

i'd imagine they're there to "please" whoever you're willing to be naked in front of (e.g. sexual partner)

Winy · November 28, 2015, 11:29:51 AM

Like, a few weeks ago during my writing course, we had to exchange papers for peer review. The girl's essay that I looked at was about how it's unfair for employers to judge potential workers based on their tattoos, and I thought it was a pretty reasonable paper. The girl's grandmother use to love monarch butterflies, so she wanted to have a butterfly tattooed onto her neck, and I don't see anything wrong with doing that. It's a permanent, symbolic reminder of something important and emotional.

I don't like them. Looks stupid.

eggsalad · November 28, 2015, 12:11:05 PM

Pretty tacky.
No image really seems significant enough to warrant permanently wearing it.
And any image that is that significant is trivialized when you wear it like that.

I like well thought out and meaningful tattoos.

Pretty much this. i find it weir how people would get something because it looks cool. I've always wanted a tattoo but I've just never known what I could get. Even if it looks cool, I would like something meaningful behind it. And also a very minimalist design.
