I don't care if people have them. Personally I wouldn't get one.

too many people have them imo.

the thing i don't get is why would anyone put a tatoo in a place(lower back, ass cheeks etc.) where they couldn't see it for themselves?

Most people are followers. I would imagine a huge percentage of the people who got tattoos didn't do it because they were genuinely a tattoo enthusiast or wanted something on them with a special meaning..but merely because it was the "in" thing and everyone else is doing it. Same reason lots of people will shave their heads even though they have the wrong hairline or headshape/face and look worse with it. Because they see every other guy at the gym with the shaved head , so being they are sheep with no sense of identity, they will shave the head as well.

I personally hate tattoos, but I don't look at a person with tattoos any less than I would a person without them. I think too many people automatically classify a person as a "douche" or just a "bad person" if they have tattoos and look down on them, which is ridiculous.

Tattoo's are for wannabee tough guys with small penis syndrome.

with most of today's young people this is true. My buddy's a teacher in high school and tells me so many girls have the dreaded back tat. And don't tell me it's because it "means something" to them.

So true, SM. Aren't they all going to look a sight in the Shady Pines' Retirement Home pool, passing the beach ball all around?

its really a shame that those young girls get tattoos at that age, the parents should stop them... sadly many of them encourage them.

if your decision to get a tattoo is in any way influenced by what everyone else is doing, you might want to sit back and re-evaluate yourself.

Yes, it would be better if they were raised by your parents to be liars and cheaters....

no but it means that they are whores.....sad but true.

i just ignore a chick with tats, no matter how pretty she is. Just like smoking, if she smokes, i i gnore her.

Aquiles · « **Reply #15 on:** June 02, 2009, 03:04:08 PM »

what if she is really sweet and she only has 1 little tattoo some far far away and well hidden?

that's almost worse, because then what's the point? To not be able to show it off to anyone but just to yourself? If one is dumb enough to get a tat just because everyone else is, then you may as well show it.

some people....see a tattoo as a way of being rebellious. i know what you mean with the trendhopper like tattoo getting... but hey if it makes them feel good about themselves... why not... they are not bothering me.

The enormous increase of tattoos is symptomatic of the general coarsening of society. The current disdain of classical music, fine art, and intellectual activities confirms this coarsening. Everyone is loathe to be considered "elitist".

Some people pull it off and it looks good, 99% don't and just look like crap.

Exactly. Which is why you look at young girls today and they all have those stupid tats, and the same fucking haircut. Look at the guys, same thing....gay 70's haircut, and tats. I shake my head all the time....when I see how many girls have ruined their skin for the sake of "fitting in".

It amazes me how many Tattoo shops there are now in my area. It's like 7-eleven....EVERYWHERE!
