“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 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.
