Volcel police can't arrest me, I have diplowlmatic immunity owl-pissed

I am sick of conservative weenies saying tattoos are ugly or self-mutilation or whatever. They're dorks, losers, dweebs even. Tattoos are ART. Hot, sexy ART. Anyone who says otherwise is a repressed nerdlinger that needs to remove the broom from their ass. I see a dude with some sweet tattoos and I'm like damn he's pretty as shit.

    I just don't have the confidence in my interests to get one of them rendered on my skin in semi-permanent fashion

    I would definitely look back in like two years and cringe at it

      There’s your problem. Don’t get like tattoos about how much you love Farscape or whatever. Nerd tattoos and even political tattoos are, IMO, almost universally boring and ugly. I’ve had great success viewing tattoo artists as illustrators that I’m commissioning to come up with their own interpretation of a concept or image I’ve provided. I never get what I initially envisioned and that’s a good thing because I choose artists who are creative and skilled enough that I love what they come up with. Tattoos are collaborative between the artist.

      This is my fear as well. I refuse to do anything I might regret so that later I can look back at my life and regret not doing more. deeper-sadness

      I debated getting a tattoo for years and years and years and eventually pulled the trigger after seeing a cool photo of a fox jumping into snow, and got that posed fox as my first tattoo like a week later. Utterly meaningless on a personal level, has nothing to do with my interests, but damn if I ain't mirin that fox doing his lil leap
