What are your thoughts on tattoos?

hot if they're tasteful and sparse
Tattoos are fine, I don't even care what they're about honestly.
It looks unprofessional from a business standpoint if you're unable to cover them, though.

It's not hard to get a tasteful one, but a lot of people opt for shitty tribal tattoos or shitty quotes from books they've never read.
Not even fucking kidding. My ex got a tattoo with her friend, a Tolkien quote and she's never read anything by Tolkien. She just went with it as a best friend tattoo.
As long as the tattoo isn't cliche or tacky like a Triforce or something, it's fine.

I used to think they were awesome, and sexy as fuck on girls. now they are so commonplace that they aren't cool or edgy or signify an alternative lifestyle in any way anymore. Your valedictorian probably has a tattoo. A pair of crossed arrows, a mustache on her finger, or some inspiring cursive writing on her ribs, for sure. Such a fad.
You'll stand out more with no tattoos at all than with them.
>Pic related, my next tattoo
I've been wanting a tattoo ever since I was in fifth grade. The design has mildly shifted over the years, and the meaning has definitely changed, and I still want it at 22. I figure as long as you get the tattoo for a good reason that goes beyond "it looks cool" or "i like such and such" then it's fine. just no names of partners and no face/neck tattoos
i love tattoos. just got my second actually, with plans for more in the future.

If a girl has a tat near her pussy she's a huge sleeze.
I don't like them at all
>>17159542
they can be fun if they are somewhere that's hidden most of the time, they are often shit though bc mainly people get them as teenagers and teenagers are shitheads 95% of the time who def don't have the patience to do research or put effort into the process so they go to a cheapass place and get a really shitty piece of permanent art on them boggles the mind really

I'm an artist that does private commisions for tattoos a lot.
Some, very few of them are really cool and original.
The rest is meme-tier flash art. I can't tell you how many fucking skulls, roses, owls, clocks, and retarded instagram/tumblr-tier semicolon bullshit I've done.
Tattoos are cool when they are done well, and are more than just an offhanded doodle with little meaning or interest behind them.
What does everyone think of my new tattoo?

bf has 4.
one is an eagle (his first one, don't ask me what he was thinking...).
one is a chinese sign for "family" (that's pretty cringe, but you can't spot it easily and it was one he and all his friends got, so i guess he had to compromise).
he has a vidya reference one, too... (assassins creed. welp).
and then he has a HUGE viking ship over his whole back.
i'm not a big fan of tattoos. i don't have any myself. i have a female friend who doesn't stop geting the most cringeworthy tats. one cliché after another. i think they can look pretty awesome, but only if you are already handsome af and if they are expertisely done and unique. i do like my bf's tattoos, mostly because they are on HIM. otherwise, besides the ship, i think they are a bit normie-tier.

I don't really mind tattoos, I've met really smart people with tattoos, so it's wrong to judge them from that. I might get a small tattoo of my homeland in my wrist.
I like some of them, they can be artistic and/or just beautiful. But I would never want one myself, and I do feel that many people sort of forget that your body still needs to do its job as a body as well.
For example I've seen some very original, very well done and expensive tattoos featuring gore (like surgery wounds revealing something) and the design and idea can be great... but if I were to undress someone and see that, I'd recoil and be turned off. Same for realistic faces looking at you and all.
Most look like shit. Some are really good.
I want to save up a few thousand and get a sleeve when I can confirm on a design. My goal is to have one where every part means something deeply personal to me.
shit niggas.
i can't decide. i'm either not getting a tattoo at all or go full insane. i'm not going to do any half assed stuff. if i do it, i'll do it right. what do?

You might as well carve in your forehead "Born trailer trash - will die trailer trash"
