what do you think about Tattoos?

I have one, I've already posted it a couple 20 or so posts back, it's simply a cross on my ankle. I used to have the biggest problem with tattoos. Probably becaue my parents were so against them. It hurt like hell, but I like it.

Yep! I do have one tattoo on my back. It's a the Peace Ohm infused with the Alto (Viola) Clef.

I read a lot of comments saying, that tattoos are gross because once you get old, the tattoo will be all disgusting or whatever. Well, it's a good reason to stay fit and healthy i guess, motivation from getting a tattoo, if you're worried about the aging thing. But Seriously?? When I get old, I'm somewhat pretty sure I won't be naked or without clothes in public much Unless I'm like ridiculously a buff Old Dude.

There are so many different reasons why people get tattoos. Some people get them to set themselves apart from others, some do it for a love one, others just do it for the "it looks cool" thing. My Tattoo was for myself, It represents in a lots of ways me being independent, being able to stand on my on and being true and honest to myself. Tattoos aren't for everyone!, but you should not judge someone for getting one either. You got to understand that specific person to say anything about it. Sure you can say that some tattoos look bad on that specific person But people shouldn't make generalizations.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Tattoos are cool as long as they are not what defines you. Mine is of course a reminder of my dangerous & tortured youth.

Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD. - Lev 19:28

<_<

Aside from that, I have to say that video game character and logo tattoos are one of my tattoo pet peeves. Tasteful symbols are fine (e.g. the Dragonforce thing), but characters just look ridiculous. I know a guy who got a Kirby tattoo above his crotch. A KIRBY tattoo. Above his CROTCH. A freaking chastity belt couldn't be more effective.

My other tattoo pet peeve is designs that were clearly stolen from a T-shirt, such as witty quotes or mathematical equations or geek in-jokes or reproductions of bad fanart that cover an entire side of the person's body. These are particularly stupid not only because they are permanent, but also because people will never actually see them unless you are specifically going around and lifting up your shirt all the time to show off how stupid you are. And if that's the case, why didn't you just put the design ON THE SHIRT and save yourself a step?

I feel like I should write a conclusion to this post, but I don't really have one, so I will not.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I don't really think they're gross in moderation, or in good taste. I mean it's pretty disgusting when a guy has every square inch of his body tattooed, and it's also pretty inappropriate to have a nekkid girl on your biceps so you can say hey watch her boobs grow HOORAH! And I think it's inappropriate to have tattoos on your boobs, since they sort of attack any mans face. Like eyes wonder straight to the boobs no matter what. Skulls annoy me though.

I actually think they're really cool when you're old, you sort of get a reminder of what you thought was really cool when you were little and explain it to all the young un's. Of course you might have to stretch out your skin and that'd look really creepy, but what the hey.

Lol, i saw a guy at my local gamestore with Samus, Master Chief Mark 1, Link and I think Ryu from Street FIghter all on his arm. Yeah, one arm. That's a little much.

I have two small stars on my left palm. One below my thumb and the other directly below my pinky. There's a picture of me with that around here somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

Tattoos are meant to mean something. And, going along with people like Deni and his ilk, the majority of people who get them done are fuckign stupid, and get fucking stupid tattoos. I'm of the opinion that, now that I'm nearing my twenties, ink is taking a very high priority. After all, the only thing I really have to worry about in my twenties is getting poor ink. I don't want to turn forty and have to explain to some guy, "No man, you don't get it. Back then everyone loved Sponge Bob."

Spoiler:

That's not mine.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm not really a fan of tattoos unless they look pretty darn good. There are far more bad tattoos than good. It might be artist for all I know. I personally can't think of anything that I would permanently brand myself with. As for tattoos on significant others, I'm leaning towards a no unless it really impresses me.

FELIPE NO

I agree with Elegy. I don't find them appealing and wouldn't get one. I would probably try to dissuade my girlfriend from getting one, but if she really wanted it, I guess I'd support her decision.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

While I don't find them interesting, I usually don't mind if others have them. They can do whatever they want with their bodies regarding tattoos.
