Never had one, never will, I like my skin the way it is.
On others? I used to like some but as I got older, I started hating that too.
Especially on women, tattoos ruin the look.
There are some really attractive women with permanent mediocre artwork on their bodies.

The most pointless tattoos are ones that really dark skinned niggaz get.
Why? What is the point? Nobody can see what is on your skin.
Save money, bro.
 
Tattoo industry is just another tax on the poor. Everyone knows a few people (usually at work) who are mad broke scabs who somehow have thousands of dollars in tattoo work done. Also they smudge out over time, becoming unsightly purple'ish blobs that have to be tattooed over with a new piece or laser removed adding expenses.
 
Depends on the race

On asians (chinese, japs etc): badass dragons on the back look cool (irrespective of gender)
Never seen a shit skin with a tattoo
black: why even bother, if you're black nobody can see your fucking tattoo
White: if you don't have "shit" and "fuck" tattooed on your knuckles you're a faggot
 
In seriousness, I view tattoos as a corruption of the beauty of the human form because you are taking what nature gave to you and letting some rando draw all over it. Consider the following:

Very nice, classical beauty that is revered throughout generations. But it could be better…

Perfect. Just as God intended.

Did you make that yourself or did you find it online?
 
Tattoos are 90% of the time trashy and cheap looking

But there are some instances where they are done tastefully and subtlely. Like certain yakuza members. Or Soviet prison tattoos. It can be a form of art.

Despite that, I refuse to scribe anything on my body. Primary reason is the major health risk. And the 2nd reason is it doesnt fit my style, nor my upbringing. I am just an aryan bookworm.

I would be hesitant to accept my wife\gf getting tattoed.
 
OMG yes, time to bring out the fine china

On ugly or unremarkable people, I don't really care, it's just white noise. In case of individuals I find beautiful, it's an abomination. Tattoos on the neck or on the face are outright repulsive junkie/prisoner/mental illness shit.
None of the guys I ever had a crush on, have a tattoo anyway. Guess I like certain no-tattoo, non-impulsive personalities then.
 
Never liked them. I'm a little older so I grew up with the cultural attitude that only the lower classes and criminals get tattoos. I don't regret not getting a tattoo. One of my biggest gripes is that initially it looks good. The colors and nice and bright and the lines are razor sharp. After 10 years? Looks like shit. The colors fade and the ink starts to run and it gets all blotchy. Another thing is that I've never come across something I'd want on my body permanently. I know too many people who have them that regret them. I think the human body looks perfect as is, no modifications necessary.

I feel like the general consensus on tattoos so far has been that only the trashiest of white trash would be covered in them. The kind of classless people that know exactly how hard you can go while you're having sex in a double wide trailer and not wake up her 2 rugrats she has by 2 different fathers in the other room.
These are people that need to be told that you're not supposed to wear cowboy boots to a wedding. The type of people who have at least one relative with a firebird sitting on the front lawn that they are perpetually working on but haven't gotten it started in 20 years.
These people drink pbr or busch light and think it's okay to try to talk their girlfriend into giving them a handjob underneath the hoodie on their lap at the movies, even though it's packed.
In other words, you guys have helped me better understand the reason why I'm covered in tattoos. :story:

These are people that need to be told that you're not supposed to wear cowboy boots to a wedding - tick. I have worn cowboy boots to a wedding. And a hat
The type of people who have at least one relative with a firebird sitting on the front lawn that they are perpetually working on but haven't gotten it started in 20 years.- tick - it wasnt a Firebird I had (dreams are free) but an old Holden
These people drink pbr or busch light and think it's okay to try to talk their girlfriend/ boyfriend into giving them a handjob underneath the hoodie on their lap at the movies, even though it's packed. - tick - make the pbr or busch light a Castlemaine XXXX or similar bogan brew though

Yet, strangely enough I have no tattoos

I stand out as a result, especially amongst people from around where I grew up who are pretty much all tattooed

I have never particularly liked them, partner doesnt like them. Makes visiting Japan easier too!

And interesting about the possible health risks, I did not know that

Quick aside because I'm probably never going to have the opportunity to bring this up again, did you know that David was made in a way that when you actually get above him and are looking at him like you are a giant his face looks stricken with fear like this:
TheDavid3DScan_img_5eb0cf18ae536.jpg
That's probably why his package was so small on that sculpture, he had all that adrenaline running through him because he was about to face a fucking giant.
I just think it's really cool that Michelangelo made a detail like that and knew nobody would figure it out for generations.

I used to work with a guy (mid 90s) whom there was speculation that he might be gay or on the fence. One day he came in with a Tigger the Tiger tat on his shoulder. That confirmed it, lol.

I'm not a big fan of them for men or women.
 
Apart from looking trashy, here's what I really don't like about tattoos:

It's personal disclosure you don't have to make. If you walk into a room and say nothing, everyone will make their assumptions about you, but they'll be all over the place. You're a little mysterious. If you walk into a room and say, "I LIKE TWEETY BIRD", there is zero mystery. Everyone instantly knows exactly how lame you are.

I went to a hardware store recently, it was one of those stores which only has a front desk and you select items on a screen and then the employee goes fetch it for you in the back. The employee behind the desk was 5' 7 manlet with glasses and he had lolicon tattoos all over his hands and forearms (small anime characters that looked like 6 year old girls). He was also a massive dickhead lol.
I don't even know how you could get a job with that kind of shit tattooed on your hands, maybe the boomers in HR thought it was just some gay shit and hired him anyway

I think its because its designed be seen from a specific angle. His bodily proportions are odd, too. IIRC, they'd make the dick small because that was seen as a sign of intelligence or stoicism-- having a big dick would imply you're ruled by your passions.

Yeah but Michelangelo was an autistic that also hid a lot of anatomical shit in his works. David specifically has strained neck muscles, a face that's anxious and full of fear, I wouldn't find it hard to believe that Michelangelo was illustrating shrinkage of the package when the fight or flight response kicks in.
That's just me theorizing, of course I know that art of that time followed that trend but I think that both things could have been true at once. I'm just musing.
I do like the fact that you can't see the look of fear unless you are seeing him from above like a giant would. That's pretty choice that people were putting Easter eggs into their artwork all the way back then.

I admit I like the idea of Michelangelo saying, "I tried to capture the fear of fighting a giant here-- in the dick".
 
I think people who want and like tattoos have the freedom of expression, and the freedom to get them done. However, the freedom to expression does not protect you from getting criticized. I would personally get tattoos as long as I think they'd look nice and in very specific parts of my body I could cover up if need be.

Most tattoos I've seen are either fucking ugly, or those thin lined tattoos that'll be non-existant in 10 years unless you constantly get them touched up. I also don't understand covering your entire body with nonsense to a point you're more ink than skin.
