Why the fuck do people get tattoos? I have never seen one that looks good.
What could possibly be so important to you that you feel the need to have it permanently carved into your skin?
>>
Why do people dye their hair.
Why do people get piercings.
Why do people wear alternate styles.
Why do people get surgery.
>>
>>28513620
Because their dumb. Literally lower intelligence quotient or whatever the fuck you want to call it. Intelligent people don't get tattoos. We think big picture and long term. Niggers and other trash think like normies about how deep they are about a certain subject.

I have a friend that got two forearm quotes from the comic book watchmen on each of his arms and it's the most cringe worthy shit I've ever seen in person. He says the meaning in tattoos can change over time and he'll never regret them, and he wants to get more. Idiot logic
>>
People who get good looking tattoos are usually smart enough to get them in a place that you can't see.
A lot of girls have pretty tattoos in their shoulders and wrists.

>>28513682
Yeah if I was to ever get a tattoo it'd probably be on my back. I just can't for the life of me think of anything that would be THAT important to me. The only thing that comes to mind would be my kids' names, if I ever had kids.

There's nothing trashier than a lot of bad tattoos. Don't get them, anon.

I don't have any tattoos, I never intend to get any tattoos because I don't like the way they look, but why are so many of you so obsessive and autistic about controlling the way other people express themselves?

Why does it have to be important?
I'd rather get something who looks good aesthetically than something with a "meaning". Fuck meanings, life is about looking good.
>>
>>28513726
I don't see how it's any different from normalfags judging weebs for wearing anime shirts or some shit like that.
>>
>>28513755
>Why does it have to be important?
Because its
A. Expensive
B. Permanent
You really want to look at yourself everyday and be reminded that you got a tattoo that you regret?

Going out on a limb here, but I highly doubt that you've ever looked at normalfags judging weebs or nerds and thought of sticking up for them.
Weird how you decided to get on your moral high horse once we're talking shit about normalfags.
>>

>but I highly doubt that you've ever looked at normalfags judging weebs or nerds

Really? You highly doubt it eh, aha
m8, I'm a normalfag and a weeb. Legit. My degree is in the Japanese language, and all of my friends are weebs and shutins and faggots like the rest of them, and I spend a lot of my time defending them and increasing their confidence through the magic of social equivocal support.

Life isn't as binary as is or isn't, arimasu or arimasen, normie or weeb you know.
>>
>>28513774
Why would you regret it if it looks good?
Does your haircut have a meaning? Or the clothes you wear?
It's like a permanent haircut. If it looks good why would you regret it?
>>
>>28513843
But your haircut and clothed can be changed. Tattoos can't.
What I'm saying is, over time you might not feel the same way as you did when you first got it. Same way you probably look back at some of your middle school photos and cringe.

And no, I don't have a tattoo and I don't intend to ever get one either. I find them ugly personally, but it's nobody elses business what a person does with their body, just like how it's not my business that you sit on your rotund, gelatinous ass all day shitposting with poor vocabularic distinction.
>>
>>28513874

>tattoos can't be changed

Yes they can. You can modify a tattoo with ease, and they can be removed with ease via laser now. It isn't 1964 any more grandpa.

Why are tattoos such a treasured value to women? You can be better looking, but still worth less to women than a guy who has tattoos.
>>
>>28513620
Because they don't think ahead.
>>
>>28513913

No, they can be done with little to no trace, but a lot of it really depends on the colour. I hear reds are the most difficult to remove.
>>
>>28513706
>the only thing that comes to mind would be my kids' names, if I ever had kids.
What, will you forget their names without the tattoos? What if you find out they're not even your kids?
>>
>>28513874
Meanings change and lose important, but there are things universally seen as pretty that remain in time. I believe that in order to get a tattoo you should do some research and look up tattoos in people of different ages and characteristics similar to yours that look good regardless of age and time.
A lot of people get tattoos on impulse. I don't think getting a permanent drawing in your skin is such a big deal as some anons make it to be, but even if it's regrettable, if you had fun for a while, I don't see the issue. If I was a normie I'd get a shitload of tattoos.

Most people who get tattoos are stupid fucks who seldom pay much attention to the potential consequences of their actions.

Girls get tattoos because they're popular.
Guys get tattoos because girls find them attractive.

Then you have the other small subclass of people who actually think about their future. The ones who get the smaller, less wild but more meaningful tattoos. Still, it's still nothing but attention-whoring meme-ink. The only exceptions are ones where it relates to a loved family member, but even that's pushing it a bit.

You seem to have an assumption that the tattoo is important. Obviously you're not a robot if you got a normal value of unblemished skin.

I don't think anyone is a loser for beliving that tattoos are for retards and meatheads. I would never get a tattoo and honestly the risk and future implications are never discussed at the parlor. You have no idea have fucking difficult, expensive and excruciatingly painful it is to remove a tattoo especially if your older and your skin is more fragile.

I can a only think of a few rational reasons for getting a tattoo. I.e cultural or religious reasons like actual tribes like the Hawaiian and Maori Polynesian coming of age initiations or if you need to have something that can permanently ID you if something were to happen to you or you need only select people to know who you really are (i.e spy).
If your smart invest in mutuals for tattoo removal products and services. Becuase you can allmost garunteed people are going to regret them.

You would get a tattoo if you could commit to something once in your life.

Commit, meaning getting a tattoo you want, not what other people are going to perceive your tattoo as.

It's pretty freeing. Your bodies already fucked why not customize it?

I have a full sleeve and a big piece on my torso. Getting another traditional japanese sleeve done soon. My current sleeve is pretty shitty though, it was an impulse thing and my friend brought me to a guy who did HORRIBLE work and now his doodles on my arm are forever there. Dont even get me started on how much laser removal costs. Anyways tattoos are alright, if youre gonna get tats just pay for the quality and make sure you go to an inspired artist. Theres guys that will slap any old bullshit on your body for a quick couple hundred bucks.

You're missing the point. Feminists like Emma Watson claim that men shouldn't have to be aggressive and dominant. Then these same feminists turn around and choose to solely date men who are aggressive and dominant. They're setting men up for failure by telling them they don't need to be aggressive.
Beyonce is another example. She considers herself this big feminist and this huge advocate for women, yet she married a man who refers to women as "bitches" in many of his songs.
