I haven't seen anyone give a solid reason.

Why do tats make girls look skanky or guys look oafish? How did you form your opinion on the matter? Why does it make them less of a person or not as good of a person? How is it detrimental to you? Would you be unwilling to work with someone because they have tattoos?

Think about your response and instead of just telling me what you don't like, explain why you don't like it.

They look like s-hit.

The end.

I have 3...

All have meaning to me...

I don't mind them on others, either...

One should just consider one's appearance in a professional setting when getting a tattoo...

Exactly. One should carefully consider one's future dreams before getting that sleeve or neck or face tattoo, or destroying the earlobes and eyebrows and cheeks with piercings. You may not have any desire to work at a bank or be a lawyer, but even if you decide to have a business that brings in professional clients, it will limit you to a subset of possibilities. If you want to be a barista all of your life, or work in graphic design, then it's probably going to be work out well.

So is this going to be like the last tattoo thread? Where a bunch of people without tattoos conjure up a bull(*)(*)(*)(*) physiological exam of those that do have tattoos while sitting upon a high horse?

I have two. My husbands name on my right ankle, and the number 6 on the back of my ring finger. No one ever knows!

Probably not...

Here's a huge collection of tattoo fails.

How do you consider this a tattoo fail?

I love tattoos, wouldn't ever get one myself but I like them on other people. Of course the liking depends entirely on the artwork.

Amazing work, isn't it? It's because of that picture that I went to the artist's website, and then to the site where I found a more local artist who is just as talented. I'd consider visiting Russia for a few weeks to have that quality of work done.

Truly is, so realistic the picture looks almost fake. Is the artist who did this work from Russia? Do you happen to know the website off-hand or the artist's name? I would like to check out his/ her stuff.

Most tattoos are remarkably stupid. They are stupid, of stupid things. They are permanent stupid ideas of stupid things.

"mommy, what's that on your back?"
"That's mommys tramp stamp honey... see when mommy was young, these quasi celtic meaningless tattoos were very popular, presumably because they were easy to make/fix by bad tattoo artists, and you rarely have to see them."
"I can't wait till I get a tattoo"

Awesomesauce.

You are as original as everyone else.


"Art" is not what most artists do. (*)(*)(*)(*)ty art is.

There are a WHOOOOOOOLE lot of tattoos out there. It is a small ratio of good ones. Chances are, if you have a tattoo, it sucks... and reflects only your ignorance. Chances are, if you have a good one, you have others that suck. It is rarely indicative of intelligence... therefor they pretty much say "I am a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing idiot... or... hopefull I was one and grew out of it... and am sort of stuck with this."

imo.
