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

      "FRAGILE

      STORE THIS WAY UP"

      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

      fr everyone 10+ years older than me (e.g. grandpa coded) has bizarro dumbass reasons for hating them and everyone my age/younger has equally dumb reasons for being obsessed with them but I just sit quietly hoping for communism.

    i like it when theyre cohesive and not just a smattering of irrelated concepts tbh. kinda like yokai tattoos that some of the yakuza get, its all around a theme

      Smattering is cool if they are like small and like in various spots on the body. But full sleeve or back pieces are pretty hot.

          When it's done with an actual goal in mind it can be really cool.

          I've always been into tattoos, piercings, and dyed hair. My wife got her hair dyed and sideshaved and was like "well fo you like it" and I was all " yes please!" Lol.

          I used to want to get full sleeves when I was younger but got my first and it hurt because I'm a wimp. I'm considering getting a second one finally tho.

          My brother looks like a detention desk tho and it's really kind of trashy ngl.

    I don't want tatoos, but I love them on others. I feel the same way about long hair, and breasts.

    Had a partner in university who had a full sleeve on one of her arms and it was gorgeous.

    Tattoos are extremely attractive and once again I stand with the owl.

    My wife just got her first tattoo after years of inside fighting with the pressure and trauma of her controlling mom. Im really proud of her and happy that she's happy with her first tattoo.

    Sorry to say but I don't like tattoos at all. Why do all the kids have them, I don't understand.

    They changed what it was and now what's it seems weird and scary to me. marx-doomer
