Default Is it me, or are tattoos an utter waste of money?
You're right Dis. Tattoos are stupid.

Tattoos with actual meaning; unit patches, religious symbols, cultural symbols

Not gang tattoos though, I think it's just silly walking around screaming that you belong to a group with so many enemies. Those people really need to learn to use their brains.


Tattoos for the sake of saying "ZOMFG LOOK AT ME SO TOTALLY NOT CONFORMING AND TOTALLY BEING MYSELF, LOOK I EVEN DREW IT MYSELF WHICH IS WHY IT LOOKS LIKE ****!"

Tattoos, regardless of what they are, that cannot be covered.


I personally wouldn't get any tattoos. A person's body tells a story as it is, no need to muck it up with silly looking cartoons.

It's not just you, tattoos are a waste of money. 99% of all tattoos are totally pointless. I can accept tattoos that has a point, but just getting a tattoo to be "cool" is

I wonder if tattoos are generational?
At my University (fairly conservative by California standards), I would estimate most of the students have tats. And those are just the ones that are visible.

I have a swastika tattoo on my chest.
That was a real smart decision.

No tattoo, but there are some that look good. I've liked them when they are good, but others are just horrible.

Indeed. As my dad told me, you never put your swastika tattoos anywhere that's visible in a short-sleeve shirt.

I just wonder if Chinese people get English tattoos on their bodies.

The creepiest tattoo moment was this guy at my local gym. He was a huge skinhead type and wore shorts, and covering his legs were tons of full-color Nazi-themed tattoos, including one of an aryan brown shirt waving a Swastika flag. One day I saw him in the locker room shirtless, and he had a lifesize portrait of Adolf Hitler tatooed on his back.

That's commitment. If he ever changes his mind about the whole Nazi thing, that will suck for him.
Are you following along, Riesstiu?

Being serious for a moment, I actually don't have any tattoos or piercings on my body. I once had a short term girlfriend with two lip piercings and a standard tramp stamp. I thought they just detracted from her looks.

In the past, I have flaunted with the idea of putting a small 1in. x 1in. Sikh Khanda symbol on the upper right arm as a partial representation of my heritage. While it would probably be more meaningful than a lot of tattoos just the idea of not be able to remove it at any time turns me off to the idea of tattoos.

This girl at my old work had the legend "It's my life" tattooed in the middle of her back. Apart from looking ridiculous and its potentially leading people to believe she was a huge fan of Dr Alban, the crowning turd on this expression of independence was that the tattoo wasn't straight.

Even worse is leading others to believe she was a huge fan of Bon Jovi


Though Billy Joel is ok-ish...

... I hope to never know the answer to that question.

I think it's only the super religious male Sikhs that never shave their hair or beards. I could be wrong. Neither of my parents are religious people.

At class last night I sat next to a girl with "HH" tattooed to the back of one of her hands. I think she went to Highland High, a high school here, and made an ignorant choice of tattoo.

Tattoos are like any other art; some are good and some are not.
well, yeah. that's actually a pretty good way of putting it. I've just never seen any that have conformed to my artistic tastes.

I have a demon skull on my left pec which I acquired when I was a soldier. it'll look bad-ass as long as your pecs will stay in shape

I was watching a show that was interviewing a woman with an excessive amount of tattoos and she commented that she got them so she would never have to worry about being stuck in a cubicle doing 9 to 5.

After listening to her talk for a bit, the tattoos where completely unnecessary.
I think I saw the same thing. My immediate reaction was that if she didn't want to be in a cubicle that badly, it should be far easier just to turn down any offer to sit in a cubicle from 9 to 5.

So do tattoo parlours not have cubicles?

Not a devotee of such places then I have no idea, but I'd imagine that there is some way of etching two designs at once on different people, and their modesty is saved.
