What do you think about tattoos and people who have them

[Vuitton Vampire]

So ive been watching these weird videos on youtube lately about Korea and their illegal tattoo industry and how tattoos play out in their culture and for the most part people who have them or want them are viewed as the outcasts in society... Its kind of sad to see this but even here in the US some people still view tattoos and those who have them as unproffesional, stupid, or something that is associated with trouble makers.

To me tattoos can really tell you ALOT about someone both in a good and bad way. I think tattoos are fine and I really see no reason to hate on them, its not your body so why do you care so much?

Thoughts? Lets talk about tattoos. Please no flaming, im not trying to start an argument im actually curious.

Black tattoos are too mainstream though, I like the one that glows in the dark.

I have no issue with whatever someone wants to do with their body. Isn't no business of mine, and I have had a large number of Inked up friends, from a few little ones, to full sleeves and beyond. I've got ink myself.

I was always fascinated by Irezumi, or the different styles of traditional Japanese tattooing. You have probably seen it in films featuring Yakuza, which seems to be the only thing people know it from.

I wish I had the courage to fill my arms with tattoos

I do want one, so to that end i may be biased (Alas, since it would be my first i'm kinda in two minds about it)

I don't have a strong opinion on someone with tattoos, cause at the end of the day, it's their choice. A lot of tattoos hold a lot of meaning to some people people, and some are just for show. Either way is cool with me tbh.

I don't even... I'm pretty sure that's illegal in some countries, as in jail time illegal.

I think you may be confused. That is the kind of tattoo someone who is already in jail might get. I couldn't find much about the specific design being illegal(outside of a couple religious ones like buddah or allah). Most places that had anti-tattoo related laws seem to be no tattoos period.

When they're actual art, I think they can look cool. When they're a bunch of graffiti, they look like trash.

Personally, though, I don't really find tattoos to be attractive.

It's just the fact that they're permanent that makes me stay away from them. Yeah it looks good now, but how will it look in your 60s?

Pretty much this. A subtle one sure. But full sleeves/body tattoo's? No thanks.

[FrozenDevilz]

You guys know there is a non-permanent one right??

In my opinion, tattoos come in 4 types.

The cultural tatoo. These are tattoos that are part of a culture. I find these interesting, and acceptable on a person from that culture who practices that culture.

Membership tattoos. These are tattoos that show mermbership in a organization that one is proud of. Examples: marines, special forces, or even gang tatoos (hey, they are an organization too). These are acceptable if done in moderation, and if the organization is acceptable. Don't be surprised if people treat you different for being all tatted up with gang tattoos (some people just don't get it).

Dedication tattoos. These are tattoos that show dedication to someone. Like a tattoo with your childs name, or spouse, or mother, etc. I find these endearing if they are done in a tasteful way. If it is too obvious then it falls into the Attention grabber category.

Finally, and the most pathetic category of tatoos,

ATTENTION GRABBER TATTOOS. These are tattoos that stupid people get for attention. They don't mean anything (except to the dummy who got the tattoo). They get them to look cool, to stand out, to make a feeble effort to distinguish themselves. I find these kind of tattoos to be utterly pathetic, and hold those that have them in low regard. These are by far the most common tattoos people get these days, and it is a sign of how lame most people are.

I myself do not have any tattoos. Most tattoos are kind of trashy looking, and low class. Very rarely do having a tattoo to be impressive.

i'm of the older generation were the only ones who had tats were Bikers or Truckies,i've got piercing's earring's and eyebrow,but they seem to be in decline,while tats are on the rise,due to my age if i see a women with tats a certain point of view comes strait to mind,generally rough looking blokes can get awaywith it,while some office worker type looks a bit silly,i don't like them on women at all ,it's only my business if i'm going out with one,otherwise they can do what they want

Originally, tattoos were only for convicts and slaves. I once worked with a bunch of kids with tats, and when one asked me why I don't have any, I jokingly said, "because I'm not a convict nor a slave." That joke fell very flat.

Generally, don't like tats. If I wanted decorations on my lampshades, I'd prefer my own designs. #EdGeinJokes

It's not my business to tell someone else what to do with their own body.

Every tattoo I have has personal meaning to me. I thought very long and deeply about each one before committing to it, to make sure that it was something I'd be happy with to the end of my days and I have zero regrets about any of them. On the contrary, every time I see them they remind me of exactly what I designed them to signify, which was the entire point of getting them in the first place.

The idea that tattoos were "originally" for "convicts and slaves" is absolutely absurd. Only someone almost entirely ignorant of human history would make such a claim.

I really think alot of tattoos on your body is full-scale disgusting.
It's just looks like graffiti. Like drawing stupid stuff on your car with a
permanent marker, you know?
But maybe one or two tattos small to medium scale that kinda represents "you" in the highest original way is kinda cool, I guess.
And what about face tattoos? (except Faith's from Mirror's edge. It looks nice.)
That just tells me "look at me, I'm stupid! WOOOOH"
