Volcel police can’t arrest me, I have diplowlmatic immunity
I am sick of conservative weenies saying tattoos are ugly or self-mutilation or whatever. They’re dorks, losers, dweebs even. Tattoos are ART. Hot, sexy ART. Anyone who says otherwise is a repressed nerdlinger that needs to remove the broom from their ass. I see a dude with some sweet tattoos and I’m like damn he’s pretty as shit.
Tattoos? Like the nazi symbols the Azov guys have?

OP’s argument demolished in a single post.
NO NOT THOSE ONES
You’ve got some explaining to do
IM NOT A NAZI
It’s gonna be a maze
It is better they are easy to identify so it is still an improvement
I just don’t have the confidence in my interests to get one of them rendered on my skin in semi-permanent fashion
I would definitely look back in like two years and cringe at it
I see my older tattoos as contracts with my younger self to be kind and not judgmental towards that younger self. And I think of new tattoos in a similar way. I have an obligation to have just enough foresight to not fuck myself over. So no face tattoos. Nothing edgy or profane just for the sake of it. Nothing political, although that may change now that it’s been almost 8 years since I did a major ideology hop. Did I need several tattoos related to the golden ratio on my leg? No, but they’re also not harmful to me. My younger self did it. They held up their end of the bargain. And that’s kinda nice to know.
Ok but what if younger you was an absolute dickhead
I’m getting one that says
"FRAGILE
STORE THIS WAY UP"

There’s your problem. Don’t get like tattoos about how much you love Farscape or whatever. Nerd tattoos and even political tattoos are, IMO, almost universally boring and ugly. I’ve had great success viewing tattoo artists as illustrators that I’m commissioning to come up with their own interpretation of a concept or image I’ve provided. I never get what I initially envisioned and that’s a good thing because I choose artists who are creative and skilled enough that I love what they come up with. Tattoos are collaborative between the artist.

This is my fear as well. I refuse to do anything I might regret so that later I can look back at my life and regret not doing more.
I debated getting a tattoo for years and years and years and eventually pulled the trigger after seeing a cool photo of a fox jumping into snow, and got that posed fox as my first tattoo like a week later. Utterly meaningless on a personal level, has nothing to do with my interests, but damn if I ain’t mirin that fox doing his lil leap
If it makes you happy that tis the most valid reason of all.

Please don’t put any identifying marks on you, don’t make pigs’ job easier.
Damn it, pigs ruin everything
Or just get them in places that are easy to cover up when you’re doing things that pigs don’t like
It still simplifies your identification if you’re arrested.
If you’re arrested, they’re going to identify you regardless, tattoos or not.
Make them spend more time and resources on this, every grain of sand in the machinery of the state helps.
my friend got an Iron Front tattoo. He an anti-authoritarian “leftist”, it’s pretty funny.
Iron Front sounds fashy as fuck, still can’t believe it was not intentional.

fr everyone 10+ years older than me (e.g. grandpa coded) has bizarro dumbass reasons for hating them and everyone my age/younger has equally dumb reasons for being obsessed with them but I just sit quietly hoping for communism.
I have a rat holding up a hammer and sickle on my shoulder and it’s hot as fuck
That is cool at shit lmao yes

i like it when theyre cohesive and not just a smattering of irrelated concepts tbh. kinda like yokai tattoos that some of the yakuza get, its all around a theme
Smattering is cool if they are like small and like in various spots on the body. But full sleeve or back pieces are pretty hot.
yeah i know a guy that had like, a giant day of the dead style tattoo across his whole back and arms. i did thirst after him a bit
When it’s done with an actual goal in mind it can be really cool.
I’ve always been into tattoos, piercings, and dyed hair. My wife got her hair dyed and sideshaved and was like “well fo you like it” and I was all " yes please!" Lol.
I used to want to get full sleeves when I was younger but got my first and it hurt because I’m a wimp. I’m considering getting a second one finally tho.
My brother looks like a detention desk tho and it’s really kind of trashy ngl.
Woman with tattoo no have sexy time with me WHY
I don’t want tatoos, but I love them on others. I feel the same way about long hair, and breasts.
There are dozens of us!
Had a partner in university who had a full sleeve on one of her arms and it was gorgeous.
Tattoos are extremely attractive and once again I stand with the owl.
Why were you pretending they aren’t?
My wife just got her first tattoo after years of inside fighting with the pressure and trauma of her controlling mom. Im really proud of her and happy that she’s happy with her first tattoo.
is it like a points system? what percentage of my skin should I tattoo to become not ugly?
From my experience if they have more than 50% of their visible body covered with tattoos an average white guy can evolve into an above average white guy
i don’t think i have $5,000 in my art budget
9%
Ha, you have never seen my tattoos. They are mid at best
Been considering getting a tattoo on my left forearm for a while now. An infinity ouroboros.
Knowing there are hot local owls in my area who might be wooed by this inj furthers my resolve
Snake eating its own ass.
Either that or possum screaming at own ass
wooed
Hooed
Our eyes met from across the room
I smiled
She hacked up a little pellet of mouse bones and fur
