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.

straying off topic,but would you say tats are more popular than piercings ? most young guys i see have tats but no earrings,eyebrow's pierced etc (except those Zulu type ones),funny enough i don't mind women with thier nose pieced but dislike tattoos

Here in Sweden, every other girl between 18 to 30 has face piercings across the face.
Especially rings on their noses. ... they look like bulls.

I don't really care. It's their body and they do whatever they please with it.

It depends. Some people sport some really great tattoos that mean things to them. The best ones can also mean things to other people. They like that **** enough to paint their body with it, permanently, and I can respect that sort of fidelity.

For others, the old saying that "it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" applies. Dudes with Chinese characters on their bodies because they're into Japanese stuff. Chicks with butterflies on their butts. Even good servicemembers who get important symobols like flags and insignias entirely friggin' wrong.

Not that they are necessarily idiots, sometimes it's an honest mistake, or so they keep saying. Even so, first impressions matter and if the first impression is a bad tattoo you might as well have "Moron" tattooed on your forehead while you're at it.

A slightly lesser category of offenders are those who get tattoos that they clearly did not consider the other implications of. Most commonly seen in job interviews and in front of courts martial, they cannot understand why they would not be hired, or why they'd face military discipline charges, when they're tatted out like a lewd or disturbed yakuza. Sometimes those tats are sweet, but we don't want Rosa's mammaries and the devil jester being shown to everyone we serve. Dismissed.

Tattoos are for sissies.

If anyone think tattoos are stupid, should see scarification ones... Gross.

I don't care if it looks good or not, they all are really stupid.

You will regret them at ome point, I don't care how "cool"
"May the odd be ever in your favor" in galifreyan is.

I think it's safer to say that you may regret them rather than you will regret them. Certain symbolic things can stick with a person throughout their whole lives, which is why it's better to consider what tattoo to get rather than just pick one for no good reason.

Uhm I would say its pretty spilt, nearly 8/10 chicks in my area have some sort of piercing but as for tats mostly males have them. Between the two genders I would say its almost a tie.

I don't care what other people do to their bodies.

But tattoos are awesome when they are a massive mistake!

Like drunk "bro-dudes" and weaboos that go get foreign language tattoos that don't actually say what they think they say. Case in point: guy gets tattoo that he thinks says "Powerful Dragon" but really translates to "White Idiot". Or Brodudes that get "tribal" tattoos, the equivilent of a male tramp stamp.

They are especially awesome when a dumb criminal has tattoos because you can see them coming from a mile away AND have something super easy to report to the police if they do soemthing illegal.

Or people that have the name of their EX boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband tattooed somewhere that wonder why they can't get into another relationship... Better yet, when they only date people with the name of their EX because they don't want to pay for a new tattoo or removal, "Dude? Why do you only date chicks named Shannon?

Or gamers that get a tattoo of some character or game that in the next game is made terribly or flops. "Nice Mass Effect tattoo, bro! how'd you like the ending?"

Or people that are super passionate about something at young age that get a tattoo like "Save the Whales" that when they get older and fatter just becomes a massive joke every time they take their shirt off.

Though my absolute favorite are the ones that get face tattoos or do that ear guaging thing to fit in with the rest of the 1st world sheeple hipsters, and then constantly complain that they don't know why they can't get a good job anywhere.

Haha, good points.
