“Do you think my tattoo is cool?” No, I don’t. There are no cool tattoos. “Check out my sleeve!” Oh god ew.
Tattoos themselves are stupid. Doubly so if it’s some media IP. “I put Batman on my body!” “Look at this image of Goku on my calf!” I can’t think of many things I’d want to do less than that.
There are a few narrow exceptions. Chances are yours isn’t one of them.
If you personally like tattoos, fine. I’m not saying nobody should get tattoos because I don’t like them. I’m stating my opinion that tattoos are stupid, and I am stating it here because it is probably not a popular opinion.
I’ve always said to myself “I’ll get a tattoo when I can think of something that I’ll still think is cool when I’m 70”
Ain’t got a tattoo.
My brother has our family coat of arms as his only tattoo, I think that’s reasonably timelessly cool.
I got WIDE LOAD tattooed in black metal font on the backs of my thighs
Ngl I might steal that lmao. That’s great
Go for it, haha! And thanks! :)
If my family has a coat of arms, no one ever told me.
You can literally just make one up, its not like theres some offical process.
And do something cool, like Utah raptors shooting lasers from their eyes.
Until some right-wing fascist group appropriates it.
This was always my thought. Recently, I’ve been considering various anti-fascist logos since that’s something that will never change (and if it does, then I should just kill myself at that point)
Once I’m 70 if I don’t still believe the important things I’ve believed for the last 20 years, then I’d deserve having them tattooed as reminders that I used to get it.
This thought actually made me think about getting a new tattoo (I have a music related one, but nothing political)
That’s a really cool way of thinking about it they I hadn’t considered.
My only tattoo is a matching tattoo all my siblings got. I never seriously wanted one, but at least it means something. I might expand on it when I have my own kids
I’m in a similar situation except reversed. I have several I know I’m gonna get but I’ve just been too poor my whole life to get one.
I hope that turns around then and you can get them one day!
This is my case. If I’d have had the money I’d be nearly covered.
That is exactly the point. Have you ever seen someone wearing a long forgotten bands logo? Or a brand gone shitty? Imagine those idiots who got themselves a Tesla logo tattooed before Musk made it into a Swasticar…
It’s be a cold day in hell that’d I’d wear a tee shirt with a brand let alone tattoo one on me.
