There hasn't been one of these threads for awhile. What does /lit/ think of tattoos, particularly literary tattoos? I have pic related. I also have a Black Sabbath tattoo on my other arm but that's irrelevant. What do you think? Am I the king of comfy or what?
>>8154225
Oh, and I forgot to say: show yours off if you have any!
Trashy.
Devalues the human, I'd much rather appreciate someone who loves a series which is respectable (redwall included) to have a room with some well framed collectible posters, or collectors editions of the series, 1st prints etc etc.
In my experience it's usually trashy people who have visible tattoos especially, having such a low opinion of themselves they put a passing fad of theirs or a relative on their shriveling body.
/lit/ tattoos aren't any better then /v/idya tattoos.
>>8154225
At first I thought it was that one mouse knight from one of the Narnia novels, then it would have at least demonstrated some semblance of taste.

"Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little fuckbird! There is one lovely word, darling, you have underlined to make me pull myself off better. Write me more about that and yourself, sweetly, dirtier, dirtier.”
>>8154240
Tattoos are degenerate, ya roastie.
>>8154250
“My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also."

Why is there value placed on having "art", or anything, on your skin as opposed to framed and hung onto your wall? Can someone explain this to me, I seem to be unable to understand what value it adds to have a, often mediocre, tattoo on your skin.
>>8154281
Inwardly boring people who want to make themselves outwardly interesting. That's all it is.
>>8154237
implying redwall books aren't cosy as hell
I have lots of tattoos. Their primary function seems to be an excuse for other people to ask you to take your clothes off so they can see them. Then you have sex.
It's a very easy excuse that avoids a lot of the awkwardness of getting both of you naked.
>>8154287
But say, you encounter someone who is interesting inwardly also? I agree with your generalization (this thought seems to fit most people with tattoos), but not always. I'm trying to figure out those people who are actually 'interesting', or worthy of having a conversation with, but still get tattoos.
Come to think of it, >>8154307 explains why most Anons hate or can't see the point of tattoos.
tattoos are for criminals, sailors and savages
>>8154281
because art is beautiful because it serves a function. That function is to inspire feelings. Remorse, loss, gratitude. Those feelings are powerful and rare, so through art we're able to explore them more fully and in a controlled way, which allows us to learn more about ourselves.
Tattoos don't really fit this theme for the same reason that we don't look forward to seeing the same painting every day. Eventually the painting will simply be there, and cease to inspire emotion (function). It's a permanent reminder of a temporary emotion. Eventually, that emotion will fade and you'll still have a tattoo. Imagine buying a house, and on the front of this house you decide to paint a mural. Your friends might think its cool, but your parents will try and convince you otherwise. Your friends have never experienced the regret because they are far too young. While your parents have seen others with regret, and understand the fickle nature of passion. And if you decide to move or rent, you'll find that it's much harder to convince others your mural is a good thing because the paint and your reasons for painting it have faded.

Are you planning on selling or renting your body?

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKY
So it goes faggots
>>8154327
You are wrong, mainly because your vision of the objectives of art is limited.
Who said art is only a tool to incite emotions? It could be a tool to force action, to invite introspection by itself, or to simply remind you of something.
Everything can incite emotions, art is supposed to do a lot more than just that. Good art usually brings great emotions, so I get why you thought that way.
>>8154461
If you say so. It's not as though this board constantly reeks of sexual frustration or anything.
I didn't say anything about spergs, that's all on you, brother.
>>8154327
i.e. remorse
Even if you don't consider it remorse, it's an emotion of some kind, not the lack thereof

Why are you people so triggered by tattoos?
What tattoos say about a person:
>Look at me.
>I'm a special snowflake.
>Do you love me now, dad?
>I don't even realise how much of a slave to Ideology I am.
>>8154237
Tbh, if some fecker showed me a Reepicheep tattoo I'd piss myself laughing then offer them a Pimms or something.
>>8154615
>Why don't you love me dad?
>I only Scalped all those Dardanians so you'd be proud
>BawExcept not really.
>>8154225
I plan to get a tattoo to commemorate my graduation from college. I designed it myself, it relates directly to the degree I'm getting and the direction I want to take my life, and it will be on my back, so only visible if I want it to be.
Am I trash as well, or is all the tattoo hate on this board directed to the ones who get meaningless memes on themselves for attention?

I don't have tattoos but that's a pretty juvenile way of thinking.
>>8156869
disgusting.

Sadly, it has been my experience with tattood people. Only one exception.

There is a good reason for that
>>8154225
Let's see the Sabbath tattoo
>>8154244
I saw a guy at school today with a labyrinth tattoo that was actually pretty intricate and cool, reminded me a lot of Borges.
If I designed one that suited my tastes i would get a labyrinth tattoo and let qt's try to solve it recite The Circular Ruins from memory in its original Spanish

dammit
