You're correct, 99.9% of the time.
Not going to decry the 0.1% of people who have a tattoo for a "good reason". For example, honoring a fallen hero (ancestor, etc.)
If you have a tattoo just because you think it's "cool", you're a fag.
Only tattoo I have is my wedding ring. Skin allergies to a lot of metals sucks.
Heard about those. Someone I know is a mechanic who has learned to NOT wear metal bands when working with electricity. He got a tattoo of on his ring finger for that reason.
I like the idea. More permanent than a metal band.
I know multiple farmers that have their wedding rings tattooed. Wedding rings and farming equipment do not mix.
tattoos are always shit... because life goes on. It's done with zero regard for unknown future possibilities or people you'll meet later.
it's always shit to mark yourself. If you care about someone or something so much, you will remember it daily without the need for ink in your skin which only pollutes your aesthetics for others around you.
I disagree.
In the instance of honoring the dead, the tattoo is meant to be seen by others. Same idea as a erecting a statue in honor of someone.
It gets people to ask what it's all about, allowing you to spread the legacy of the fallen.
Again, in the VAST majority of cases, tattoos are retarded.
life is for living... not constantly reminding everyone about death.
1488% of tattoos are fucking retarded.
The tattoo that simulates a nipple after a mastectomy falls into that category too.
