pop culture and meme tattoos are fucking stupid.
Gangster tattoo is a sure way to never get hired.

For the rest, they can look fine and even admirable if done by someone actually talented.

In theory, a meaningful, aesthetic tattoo can genuinely accentuate the skin and person it's inked onto.
In practice, it's either meaningless, a stupid concept, poorly-drawn, in an unfitting place, doesn't go well with the person, or a combination of the above. I have yet to see a tattoo actually meet all of these criteria. It's more often than not impulsive, ugly, degenerate garbage that the person will spend their remaining lifetime convincing themselves looks good.

Tattoos are over priced public non verbal expressions of yourself and your personality that serve only to draw wanted -and- unwanted attention. If I wanted to pretty up my body I'd take some temporary dyes and stain my skin instead of actually getting ink pigments surgically stitched within my skin.

They're ok I guess.

I even have a prison tatt.

Whew these posts are great.

Tattoos are pretty cool in my book, I like good ones and don't like bad ones.

Love seeing tattoos on girls, but they can be a good gauge for crazy depending in amount and placement.

I've got a leg piece working now, looks dope and it's covered by my pants at work.

Most people don't have the money to get good tattoos during multiple sessions of layering and details. Nor do they know any good tattoo artists.

Tattoos doesnt work on women body unless it's in extremely private area which only bf can see it. Otherwise it's pretty much slut sign.

They always seemed like a way for some people to try and look unique, but in reality, they just make you look like everyone else with a tattoo.

Also, you can't use most public bathing facilities (swimming pools, sentou, onsen, and sometimes showers and smaller, private baths) in Japan if you do get one, so there's that...

For women I assume they are stupid, for guys I assume they are either criminals or edgy.

>>29124073
the only reason that 99% of people get them is because the first people in the western world to get them (adopting them from pacific islanders) were tough-guy sailor trash who would swear and fuck whores and spit on the ground and get in fights. That "tough guy" appearance is the reason why middle-class white suburban man-boys get "tribal" tattoos and nautical stars and whatever the shit they think makes them look more interesting.

It's nothing, nothing, nothing other than a fashon meme unless you belong to a group that uses them as a means of marking you for life like viggo mortensen in that russian mafia movie. If you get a tattoo just to be "one of the super cool tough guys who has tattoos" then you are a poseur and a boring nobody who has to treat your body like a coloring book to get attention from bimbos.

and all women with tattoos are whores.

Depends on the tattoo.

I mean seriously, tattooing has been around so long and been invented and reinvented so many times that having something against tattoos as a generality is like having something against hats.

I like Polynesian and Scythian tattoos, here's a four thousand year old Scythian chieftain they dug out of a Kurgan in southern Russia.

His tats are older than Jesus.

Something to do with the Yakuza using tattoos. It makes people (customers and staff) feel threatened.
Mainstream hotels would obviously let you use your own private showers, but anywhere small, like a ryokan, or public (gyms included) will probably throw you out. Hotel swimming pools tend to let you swim if you cover the tattoo with a sticker (provided it's small enough).

Tattoos can look good when they are first made, but they quickly turn to shit and become unrecognizable after they fade.

Why anyone gets them is beyond me. Noby give a shit about your tattoo. People walk around in public thinking everyone is looking at it but nobody gives a second glance at your shitty faded butterfly

"Tribal"

Man, when people tell me they got a "Tribal" tattoo I ask what tribe.

It's a pretty simple litmus test for morons.

Had a pretty great conversation about Mayan architecture with this guy who had this big glowering Mayan Sun god's head on his arm.

Conversely I meet far more people who get a rando geometric tattoo design and call it "tribal" like that means something.

>>29124073

If you have a tattoo and you aren't a gang member or did hard time then you're a piece of shit normalfag. Tattoos used to be the sign of rugged and tough induviduals who weren't scared of breaking the law and some jaws along with it. In Russian prisons tattoos are a way of tracking your achievements, alignments and rank in the jail house. Nowdays every other normalfag gets a tattoo because it's cool. Criminals weren't afraid of the social implications of getting a tattoo because they were outcasts. Normalfags had to come in and normalize it so that they could reap the benefits of a badass persona without having to deal with it's consequences. Now a tattoo is a boring and meaningless thing. They just can't leave anything good to the ones who already have very little. Stolen valor.

If the tattoo is something with a reason (a single father I met had a tattoo to commemorate when his daughter flatlined but got resuscitated) or artistic expression

Tribal tattoos tramp stamps lyrics and random tattoos are low quality. You can actually judge a person by the quality of their tattoos. The better the tattoo the better the person

cutting your skin and filling it with ink isn't the same thing as an article of clothing that can keep your head dry/warm/safe from sun damage

i like the history of tattoos, but a lot of people just get them because it makes them feel cool. they only get tattoos to have a tattoo, not because they like the art or because it has a deeper meaning.

people would get tattoos to show their accomplishments and tell who they are, now they'll get a tattoo of a band they currently like.

I was always fascinated by tattoos, so obviously I got some when I was old enough. Prancing to cover both sleeves, back, A bit of chest and maybe stomach if I ever lose enough weight (gathers around my waist), I keep my legs reserved for "trophies" like for example I took my first win in the ring and got myself a memento for it.

I also loooove tats on girls, that's if they're well done and actually look good. No trend shits mind you.

That being said, ugly tattoos are ugly and should not be taken ever. Tribals can look good, but more often then not do not. Shit like barbwire, angel wings, diamonds, other corny trend shit should not exist. Wouldn't either take any on my face, but I guess to each their own.

I don't think taking tats as itself is a sign of stupidity. Stupid people do stupid things, so they take cheap, shitty tats without any idea put into it. Smarter people think, design, put effort into getting what they want and will pay accordingly. To me, It's a hobby of sorts. None other than my trophy tattoos have any real meaning behind them, they just look nice and just the way I like them. Sure, you can throw the stigma argument, but tattoos are normal where I live, anyone might have them.

I also don't care whether you have tats or not. If no, great. If do, great. Enjoy them or not, whatever.
