Why are all the fit gym girls inked up?

[Hulkotron]

Anyone else notice a correlation?  Seems like all the instagram-level girls I see at the gym have at least a few tats here and there, if not a full sleeve, etc.

They are mentally ill.

Latest fad that hasn't gone out of style yet.

Makes one wonder what the parameters are on a "fad"

[Pray_4_War]

Cookie cutter.

They are mentally ill.

...and I want to fuck them all.

It's out of hand.

There's this young broad (say, around 22?) at my gym who has silky, beautiful, milk-white skin, she's seriously fit ... and she has ruined it all with ridiculous tats all over herself, including all down the fronts and sides of her legs.

The (mental) problem is that they believe that the opposite is true

When those with a brain are in the clear minority, you begin to realize that you come off as paranoid and eccentric when you call generation nothingness out on their bullshit. I've caught myself doing it more than once, most recently in the gym earlier this week, trying to explain to an older gentlemen why people come to the gym only to sit on their phone.

I see the same things on a weekly basis.  It's a self-loathing fad.  I believe tattooing has reached it's peak.  Very soon there will be less people wanting tats and more people wanting them removed. 

The most lucrative professions will soon be:  1) Tattoo removal and 2) Gay divorce lawyers.

I hear you and that's one of the reasons why I don't socialize with most gym members. One of the saddest things I saw a few weeks ago was a guy leg pressing 2 plates while texting. You see, the rise of technology is frustrating the progress of millions of gym rats world wide...

I witnessed the same thing in my gym a few weeks ago.  The cell phone snowflakes have taken over most gyms.  If I owned a gym, cell phones would be banned from workout areas.

Then you'd be out of business.

This would only be feasible in a private gym, since most gym facilities already aren't that profitable, esp those with a focus on the 'hard core' scene..

Mental illness
Self loathing
Attention whoring

That's what wrong with them.

He probably was Instagram live story mode for it.

Or giving live updates.

Whatever happened to the mind muscle connection?

the tattoo "fad" is at least 15 years old at this point

i don't think it's going anywhere, many young people are still getting them, even middle aged people that seemed to resist it for years are getting their first tattoo

i went to dewey beach delaware last year, it was strange hardly anybody had a tattoo, every other beach i go to most people have at least 1

I know this stunning girl that keeps getting more ink.

She seriously was model material.  She has stupid quotes on her arms now.  Looks like crap.

[Julio Ceasar]

I hate tattoos! It some trashy shit to do...they all look like trash. No one with education and decent job have tattoos...is it some sort of rocknroll lifestyle, sex drugs and shitty physique or what...dosent get it.

That's not true, these days you will find mentally ill people on all walks of life...

[cephissus]

I just seem to notice that every head-turning, super fit girl I see in the gym has ink all over her body.

I can't remember the last time I thought "damn that girls in great shape" without seeing a tattoo on her.  I can't remember it being like this five or even ten years ago.

[ProudVirgin69]

Some ink looks decent when it's fresh but it all looks like crap after 5-10 years of sun exposure

[johnnynoname]

I've noticed something really weird about this forum


people (well, not so much "people"--more like Alex and Josh) have admitted to alot of audacious shit on here yet for some reason we all get high and mighty when it comes to tattoos


what is that yo?

[wes]

I just got 2 new tats recently "Dying Breed" on my right hand, and a pic of "The Phoenix" om my right forearm.

I`m personally not a fan of sleeves and shit, but to each his own.

[johnnynoname]

corvette or mustang?

[Fortress]

When I see tats, I immediately think two things: desperation and them being a cry for help.
