Thinking About Getting A Tattoo...Opinions Please!

[chaos]

I saw a bloke with a "choose life" tattoo and asked him about it.

He said he loved trainspotting the movie and got it. I told him that the whole choose life thing in that movie was ironic and they were taking the piss out of that saying, to the point where they chose not to choose life.

The sheer panic on his face was priceless. Do your homework kids.

Let's see your tattoo, stud.

Want advice? Don't get one. They just aren't cool anymore. It shows your a conformist. When you go to the beach and look at a whole family that have tattoos you will see what I'm talking about clearly. Sitting together will be grandma, grandpa, mom, pop and teenage kids all with ink. Just yesterdays fad. When I was young only military guys and bikers had them. Now everyone does.

This.

Plus it makes you look like a low-life which is not a good career move.

Chaos what were you thinking

I can’t even fathom the mental illness one must suffer to decide to tattoo the likeness of another man (posing in a battle thong, no less) onto his body.

Guy should be put into a rubber room.

Being gay isn't a mental illness, though....

[Offensive]

It kind of is.

1) Most tattoos can be hidden.

2) The majority of jobs do not care if their employer has tattoos.

In sum, tattoos basically do not affect one's career, unless you have them on your face, neck, or forehead.

A former board member had something similar to this design. On his shoulder Thought it was pretty badd ass

Question: If they are so acceptable why do you have to hide them?

Answer:  Because they make you look like a low-life and your white collar employer doesn't want the public to think low-life's work for him.

Yet, I’ve seen teachers, accountants, computer scientists, engineers, financial advisers, lawyers, nurses and medical doctors, all with visible tattoos.

::mind blown::

Further, you simply said getting a tattoo is not a good career move. And I pointed out that as long as one can cover them, it won’t affect their career. Thus, it’s not necessarily a bad career move, as long as they can be covered.

So, both your arguments fall apart.

How does them having those occupations justify their incredibly stupid decision to permanently deform their skin with a stupid graphic that deteriorates in quality every time you go outside on a sunny day and which they have to explain every time someone asks them about it in their personal lives? I don't know many Fortune 500 CEOs, U.S. senators, or top-tier actors (other than conehead Dwayne Johnson) covered in ink, either. Aim higher. Your bar is set way too low with those faceless nobodies with 4 year degrees anyone can get.

You seem perturbed. Perhaps you should try relaxing.

Hope this helps.

Tattoos used to be cool, now they are just bumper stickers every millenial and soccer mom wants to have because they are popular and sheeple can show them on social media. It will be easier to identify the bodies in the future though. So there is a positive side to it.

A crazy "bitch" maybe?

Tattoos seem very acceptable these days. Much more mainstream then in the past. The content of the tattoo is something someone should put a lot of thought into. Your more likely to be judged by what the tattoo(s) depicts.

The veterinary surgeon who took care of my dog had full sleeves on both arms. Of course he owns the business so he can pretty much do what he wants tattoo-wise.

Why would you? You couldn’t have done or said jack shit. He’d have fired your ass.
