They look grotty and dirty.
The tattoos tarnish the physique.
The tattooed physique enjoys such an unfortunate strereotype; that of the criminal, the outcast, the tryhard etc. etc.
Bodybuilding already has an 'appalling rating' within the mainstream community.
When you add tattoos to the mix, well, it just becomes even seedier and more revolting!

tattoos are good for one thing
it makes it easier to spot the followers, posers, morons, skanks, and overall dregs of society

yes... yes...
imagine you see someone you have respect for, because he has a hot gf.... because he has an european car.... because he has a splendid physique....
but then? what happens? the guy suddenly takes his shirt off and you see a big tattoo.... what do you think? you think watch your mouth convict.
am i right?

Face and neck tattoos! Hahhahahaha. Just screams of insecurity and inferiority.
Why the need to 'brand' yourself? Why the desire to grafitti the body? Why the longing to intimidate and create a false aura?
The point is, 'be happy in the skin your in'. Don't look for acceptance and acknowledgement through ink!

Its best to look for acceptance and acknowledgement through a syringe or vial ;D

You wouldn't know the first thing about tattoos, you pretend you do but you haven't a clue.
Hope this helps

'Notice me, notice me' cried the inked up tryhard!
'Look at me, look at me'.
For Christ sake, how unoriginal.
How pathetic these tattooed losers are!
How desperate for attention!
How starved to stand-out from the pack.
So, the logical progression is; go and grafitti your body.

tattoos no longer carry the same stygma they once held
Hank and his compatriates are hopelessly old-fashioned

Here's an original concept; 'express your individualism and go get a tatt'.
Follow the pack. Tap into the fad. Embrace the gimmick. Bow down to the blatent commercialism and go and get inked-up!
Yes, get something unique on your skin. Maybe some tribal work. How about some obscure symbol. What about a hard core phrase like 'such is life'. Hey, the gangsta shit is da shit. Or just go the Chinese symbols across the forearm. I think the lower back thing is highly fashionable.
Get out there bitches and express your uniqueness and originality.
And if any one asks 'why did ya get a tatt?'...Tell em that you wanted to do something different!
-
I love the morons who claim they having ' meaning ' lol it means you're an idiot

I think I'm the only guy at my gym that doesn't have one. It seems to be mandatory now if you lift weights to sport some tat on your arms or delts. Lots of "individuals" expressing their Uniqueness.I guess I better get one or I won't fit in with the Herd...I won't be a follower..How tragic!
-
Why such bias against tattoos-if you dont like them then dont get one-but dont bash people with ink-but I do agree with the neck , hands etc being way too much-I have tatoos that mean important things to me-and I would choose a tattoo needle over a juiced syringe any day

You think he mapped out the voyage first? Or did he simply get lucky??

Hey I do agree that they do throw off some aesthetics and lines of a physique but my dream of being Mr Universe died with the direction this once wonderful sport went down the tubes with drugs
-

Maybe your children and all of your HS school students should get tattoos, it would go a long way in helping them become 'good human beings', grasshopper

No tats on Arnie, so I will agree with him.

Disease is god's punishment.
See? Another example of an extremely narrowminded statement.

see heard mentality , see lemmings , see tribal band

Hey look I understand many of these opinions-tribal band is horrible -lmao-happy I didnt get one-why is it that many pics of BBers have them? I agree that some tattoos on people are plain ugly-its a differnt mindset to have them-I have no problem that some people hate them-but I really dont care-I have a shaved head too-because of hair loss-Ive always gotten more looks because of that-but now many people do-fakers!

I know they are trashy, but this shit is still sexy!! :P

The thing about tatoo's is that they can be gotten for the wrong reasons or the right reasons. Back when I was 15 I wanted to fit in so bad, most of you know by now that Im half Laos and half Irish, and basically got made fun of by both whites and asians.
Basically then to fit in I had to be crazier and badder then everyone else, so when a Lao friend made a home made tatoo gun with a tiny motor and pen I was the first to say tat me up. Got a huge tat on my back that says LAOS. Needless to say that I got in a shit load of trouble with my parents.
Definetly got if for the wrong reasons, but honestly today, 15 years later, I don't mind it at all, kind of helped me to realize that you shouldn't do things simply to impress others, and fuck fitting in, if you don't like me fuck off; white, asian, black, mexican, who gives a shit.
-
I agree with Hank; it just screams poseur.
People think tatts automatically confer some kind of individuality; really it just shows that you're a follower.
Actions make the person, not ink.
There are exceptions of course.
I have some friends with beautiful tats, and they can honestly say they just love the work.
-
Holy shit james... are u capable of rational thought? If your last post is any indication of your intelligence level, then I'm going to say you are very narrow minded.
I'd love u to let your friends know what u "really think" about tats. You isolate people who get tats to having the mindset of needing attention. Yet, you justify your "friends" as the exception just because u know them "on the inside" or more about them as individuals... but u judge a person u never met before as being a follower?

You can tell if someone is doing it for the right reasons.
I mean, if you saw someone that was clean cut, and then a few weeks later they're getting sleeves with nautical stars and the like...
well, what does that tell you?
They're doing it to gain acceptance; no other reason.
Unfortunately, I think MOST people do it for that reason.
Not all.
If I hang out with a tatted person, or give them a tatt, it's because they do it for the right reasons.
I wouldn't hang out with them otherwise.

What is a man trying to portray if they have an earring?
Any thoughts?

that shoulder piece there is a paul booth piece right off the flash rack.... I have probably seen it in half a dozen shops... lots of real estate for an off the wall design.... might have a couple small mods to it but its pretty much one of his designs from one of his popular flash sets.

I have a tattoo. It isn't very big. I like it, but don't really have any desire to get more.

You just described The Olympia after-party.
-
Maybe people should stop being concerned about what someone wants to do or draw or their own body and mind their own business. What is it to you people if someone has or wants tatts peircings etc. Grow up and take care of your own shit first.

You mean all the people with "barb wire bicep tats" aren't cool? :D

Is that a tattoo of an uncircumcised penis on Magoo??
The fuuck is that?

Tattoos are trashy. I'm glad I never got one when I was younger like I wanted.
Technokc, women aren't people so they don't count. Some tattoos on women look sexy but keep in mind
men=people women=objects.
