“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’m someone with no tattoos, that really loves other peoples’ tattoos. I’m just very indecisive personally, but I think they’re really cool.
I really loved the Lostprophets in high school. Advocated for Last Summer to be the class song during graduation. I was set on getting a tattoo when I turned 18 later that year… Never got around to it and thank fuck I didn’t get it. I’ve been terrified of getting a tattoo ever since.
You know… I know how you feel, since I am the same way, but honestly I admire that people get that kind of thing. Of course you won’t always like what you’re into at any given time, but it’s like a memento of the time you were! Kind of a mosaic of your history.
A memento is all well and good but the lead singer turned out to be a pedophile.
Ah haha I’m not familiar. Wait is it Jared Leto or something? Anyway, you can always get a cover up :)
Ian Watkins
He’s dead now. Got shanked in prison.
Oh i hadn’t heard he was killed in prison. Good riddance to a true monster.
Hope the jury nullifies his killers’ charges. Not that they seem like great people on their own, but they made the world a better place when they took that piece of shit out of it.
They’re as cool as income tax and as edgy as a t-shirt from Uniqlo.
Now, show me something you drew and maybe I’ll be impressed.
Most cool tattoos aren’t “off the rack”. People work with their tattoo artist on the concept. There’s revisions and edits. The customer usually comes up with the concept, but leave the art to the artist.
I’m getting a new tat from a new artist (my old one retired because he almost died from a heart infection) on the 18th and I’m so excited for it. It’s gonna be the first part of a sleeve of legendary women. This one is Medusa. The artist asked for some inspo pics and I sent her some but I have no idea what her design will be until the 18th. Her shop does design reveals and revisions on the day of the appointment which just has me more hyped
Yeah I feel like the haters are basing it all on tattoos of weed leaves and some generic text like ‘LOYALTY’. If you go to a proper artist to get your vision commissioned, it’s no different than commissioning an artist to paint on canvas. You’re just wearing the medium.
That also doesn’t meant there aren’t insufferable people with really nice tattoos, but to say “all tattoos are stupid” is like saying “all paintings are stupid”.
