Tats shouldn't be that big of a deal, 90% of the time (depending on where they're at).
The guys that gauge their earlobes in college are the ones I wonder about later on down the road. I'm not sure how easy that one is to fix. It looks kind of ridiculous by the time your late 30's roll around, and if you don't work in a really hip and laid back kind of place...I dunno. I guess it depends on your career path. |

Every generation grows up hating everything about their parents, and vows to be "different." Eventually, with a little maturity, they almost all have a "OMG I've become my mother/father" moment. This would be one symptom of that. I've said for years this tattoo fad is silly in the extreme, because fads come and go--but tattoos just come, they never go. View Quote On the other hand, humans have been putting markings on their skin since before recorded history...but yeah, I'm sure the fad will be over soon |

Welcome to the real world, where you have to actually get hired in order to get paid. Good luck getting a job when you have shit sticking out of your face and tats all over both arms, hands, and sometimes neck and face. Their body modification choices often mirror their choices in college degrees. ZERO foresight and expect the world to bow to their ignorance. Go back to mommy's basement and enjoy your poor life choices.

Next you'll tell me people regret buying beanie babies! Tattoos are a fad, like every other fad the popularity will fade.

Dirty inkies with their dirty inkiness.
They shouldn't be allowed to rejoin the ranks of pureskins. Tattoo removal should be illegal. |

Know what my tattoos will look like when I'm 60?
FUCKING AWESOME. |

Every time that I think about getting a tattoo, I think "What if I don't give a shit about x in five years?"
I find skulls, spider webs and flames to be cliché. I find it stupid to get a corporate logo emblazoned on my body so sports teams are out as are automotive badges. I wasn't a Marine so an EGA is out. Maybe the Philmont bull. |

Wife and I both make 6 figure salaries working for the govmt and both have tattoos. Odd how gd seems to be wrong sometimes.

I don't know. Tattoo removal is not a painless process and to be willing to undergo it shows sincere regret. I think Tattoo removal is the equivalent of the sacrament of reconciliation for inkies. They are forgiven, but still have some temporal consequences. I'm not willing to condemn someone who is willing to go to that much effort to repent of their filthy inkiness.

The tattoos don't bother me, but these idiots who put these big meat hoops in their ears to stretch out their ear lobes like some kind of Zulu warrior, I look at these people and just shake my head.

On the other hand, humans have been putting markings on their skin since before recorded history...but yeah, I'm sure the fad will be over soon View Quote Mostly from the tribes of the rich and vibrant... in case you hadn't noticed kids started to latch hold of this ancient and noble tradition about the same time the Rap and Hip hop movement got wound up and all the pale faces wanted to be like the bros in the movement so they could show how they identified with the movement and perhaps they could be accepted in too. |

I'm 50, and I remember that when I was a kid, the only people I saw with tattoos were guys who had been in the service. my grandfather was a gunner on a B25 in the pacific theater during WWII, and he had a tattoo of a skull wearing a leather flying helmet on his right forearm. I was fascinated by it, but it was pretty blurred and faded.
now it seems almost everyone has tattoos. Not too long ago, I was watching the Naked Gun with my boys, and there is a scene where Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley are both getting tattoos on their arms. I had to explain to my boys why that was funny. Now I just find them gross. Sometimes the right woman can wear tattoos and look hot, but I mostly think they'd look hotter without them. I love it when patients complain about getting heparin or lovenox shots, because they "hate needles." meanwhile, they're covered with ink. go figure. |
