Tattoos?

[Joseph41]

Do you love them? Do you hate them?

Do you find them attractive? Would you ever get one?

I wanted to be a tattoo artist for a while. I was very into shows like "Miami Ink".

I don't want one now but wouldn't necessarily rule one out in the future.

How about y'all?

I have no issues with tattoos as a whole; they don't make me think better or worse of a person. However, whether I like them or not actually depends on -- as with all art --  the content.

My uncle was one of my biggest influences growing up, and he was a tattoo artist. His arms (from the wrist up) and his entire torso -- front, back, and sides -- are all covered in one giant tattoo he designed himself. So, I've always been around tattoos, and have always wanted one. Personally, I love the colourful, Japanese style of Kahlil Rintye.

In a perfect world, I'd love bright and colourful sleeves, but in reality, this is not something I am going to pursue due to the stigma around tattoos in the workforce. At most, I'd get something reasonably lowkey (e.g. the Ring-inscription wrapped around my leg because <3 ) that could be hidden if I wished.

I tend to be pro-tattoos just because my family is against them and imo their reasoning is straight up rubbish hahaha.

I don't normally like the look of tattoos, especially since it's typically not socially associated with the type of person I present myself as.  I wouldn't want one except perhaps tiny designs with words to encourage myself (but I don't plan to), but hell, if someone else wants to, go ahead!

I'd personally prefer to "decorate" with varied clothing that I can change as my tastes and self change, and that can match with whatever I want, rather than something permanent.

I dislike prominent tattoos which have no/little meaning (I typically think of large tattoos and sleeves etc being representative of that). However, a small tattoo that holds meaning I think is fine, as long as it's not a spur of the moment thing (even better if it's hidden, as a tattoo should be something personal). If a tattoo is to show off then I disapprove, if it's a reminder of something important then I think it's alright. Just my 2 cents

This is my favourite fact about you.

Definitely pro tattoo. Indecision is the limitation because like, I have a hard enough time deciding what to eat. The indecision is sort of magnified thinking about what should be on my skin forever.

Personally, I think tattoos are cool, but I wouldn't want one because the thought of having something permanently inked onto my skin sorta terrifies me.
Some tattoos have meaning to them, such as names of a partner*, date of birth of kids, or even a motivational quote. I admire people who do this, my uncle being one (he has all 3 examples I just mentioned, having all 3 done after my aunt passed on a few years ago).

*unless shit y'know happens and people aren't together anymore- in that situation I kinda imagine one of TV shows that remove the tatt/cover it up with something else.

(Just my ramblings on this topic )

People can do whatever they want with their body.

BUT... you do pay the consequences-

I'm really a live and let live person - the only thing I'm not really a fan of is face, head and neck tattoos (some of the small behind the ear ones are cool though).

There are so many tattoos that I like, but could never see myself getting. One of them being sleeves - have seen so many good sleeves that I love, but I'd never be able to get one myself. One of my friends got a tattoo with white ink, and it looks soooo good, but I'd never get one personally. Actually have a number of friends who have gotten tattoos since finishing high school, and I like them all

I reckon I'll get one in the future, but something small, and probably in a place easily hidden - like the side of my torso, on my ribs. Would potentially consider inner wrist for something small that I loved.

Feels!
I want to get something meaningful, but something that also looks awesome and not clichéd.

Have toyed with the idea of something in remembrance of my grandmother, but not sure what I would get.

So.. quick response here.

In general, i'm not particularly a fan of tattoos. However, in saying that, I think there's something special about tattoos that are significant to the person (e.g. the name of a child or a loved one, or some art that is representative of something meaningful). Those types of tattoos I don't really have a problem with.

I also agree with Sconey + the link that has been provided w/ their post. There is definitely a downside and a pre-conceived idea/perception about them.

But you know... each to their own I guess. I'm sure those who get tattoos understand the potential consequences.

I'm getting 'ATAR Notes' tattoo'd on my forehead just so I can one-up MisterNeo's DP.

It doesn't count if it's one of those temporary ones 

[strawberries]

I don't mind if others have tattoos. Not a fan of face tattoos though.

Personally I'd like to get a couple of small tattoos, but I'm really scared of the pain (haha). Don't know exactly what I'd get, but I think I'd like to get something like inspirational words/quotes or something beautiful like roses or nature.

An ATAR Notes tattoo is actually a secret requirement of being a mod

It's like the dark mark - only that every time it lights up, it means BOSTES is up to no good instead of Voldemort.

What are your thoughts on this particular case, Sconey (and others)?
