I personally think it doesn't make sense to do random tattoos. Unless you are a masochist.

I do think it make sense to do tattoos that means something, because it shows the passion towards that thing. Other then that, I don't find the logic behind doing painful tattoos.

Tattoos are not for me. I don't find them particularly attractive on others and I certainly don't want one on me. That being said, however, who am I to dictate to another what people should do to their body? If someone wants to put a tattoo of a naked woman on their arm, which will end up looking like a wrinkled old prune when the person grows older, go for it. Just don't expect me to compliment you on it.

I LOVE tattoos. I'm not old enough to get a tattoo (now that my stupid state raised it 18 now instead of 16....my mom promised me a tattoo :( )
But i'm a pro-tattoo guy, i love the ones with a meaning, that will remind you of past stuff or to mark something you'll never wanna forget. The ones that you'll love even 20-25 years later. I have a notebook and i'm trying to draw up some tattoo art for my first tattoo because i thought "Hey, if i want to make it have a meaning, why not also design it myself?" I do respect other opinions. My dad and grandpa used to hate tattoos and now my father has the initials of all of the kids' names on one of his biceps and my grandad is gonna do a tattoo later this year. My mom has 3 tattoos and my grandma has one and we are (exept my younger brother) a pro-ink family.

I have six tattoos, a pointless scarecrow on my wrist, a pointless cross on one ankle and a pointless upside down cross on the other ankle, then I've got a three roses on my shoulder (one for my deceased Granddad, one for my Nan [his wife] and one for my country [England]), the word 'family' underneath that and just above the scarecrow I have Oogie Boogie from A Nightmare Before Christmas.

I love tattoos, personally. What I have on my body is there for me, and too an extent if other people enjoy looking at them it's for them too. I don't judge what others have on their bodies at all, either. I'm going for my seventh tattoo in a week or two, and then an eight next month. Don't want too stop until I'm covered (aside from my face, for very obvious reasons :P).

Yeah, no, still does nothing for me. I don't think I could be in a relationship with a person who has a tattoo. It's that much of a turn-off. Especially since knowing as we age our skin looses its elasticity which makes tattoos loose their definition and they begin looking like dull blobs of discoloured skin and the person ends up looking like they went 3 rounds with Mike Tyson without boxing gloves. Yuck.

You've clearly never tried to look for old people with tattoos have you?
Hmmm

I also think not dating someone with a tattoo is a ridiculous criteria but w/e I'm not going to dictate what you can and cannot find attractive in a person.

I don't have to look for any. My uncle has several and all of them have lost their definition over the years. What once were clear words are now blurry blobs that only remotely look like letters. The only thing stopping him from getting rid of them is the cost. But he's told me he would if he could. Even he doesn't like the way they look as he got older.

Ok so you're just going to ignore the old people I've linked who have objectively well-detailed tattoos (the colour on that one guy's is astounding) because you once saw a tattoo that your uncle had which faded (probably because his artist was ♥♥♥♥ as a fyi)

Hey, I found at least one thing we agree with.

Attractive person + tattoos = attractive
Unattractive person + tattoos = unattractive

I'd love to get one. Though I need to have two things in mind.

1. Longevity-will I always like this, or is this a fleeting interests/fads? (I feel bad for the 90's tribal tattooed folks :/)
2. Artist Quality-Only the best of the best are allowed to perform artistic surgery on this body. The money would be worth it to have it done right.

Yes, I'm going to ignore those images because they almost made me sick to my stomach. Gross that someone would do that to their bodies. Their choice, obviously, but around me, wear a turtle neck. Please.

Ok now you're just being unreasonable lmao. Telling people what to wear when they're around you. If you honestly expect people to not display artwork they're proud of then you have some growing up to do.

Well, my first Mod opportunity.

This thread is designed to discuss the art of tattooing.

It doesn't seem constructive to describe disgust within the realm of the art form in the fashion above. There are other ways of expressing criticism to tattooing.

Let's try to be civil in our disagreements please.

Also, the picture posted by moogles demostrates at least one examples that line work and contrast can remain intact with age. I also have family members with both faded and clear/clean/distinct tattoos. It depends on the tattoo and the artist's quality, among other things.

No, not expect, just a request. I don't presume to tell people how they should dress. But that wouldn't stop me from voicing my preference. I don't think it's unreasonable to request that people dress appropriately in their presence. If someone were to come into my house I would not expect that person to show off their body art (and you're right, it is art) unless specifically requested to do so. There are just some things you don't do in some one else's home.

Out in public, that's different. If you show off like that, I'll just look the other way. Like I said, who am I t to tell people what to do with their bodies? Just don't expect me to appreciate it if you feel the need to show off.

Do those who are tattooed judge those who are not?

Should those who are not judge those who are?

I don't have any myself. I don't want any. That's my choice, and nobody questions it. People are free to wear whatever tattoos they wish to as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to question them if they aren't going to question me! It's of no harm to anybody else, really. If it was a profane tattoo on show around young children, yeah, okay, you'd have a case. But I've yet to see a tattoo like that.

I've never liked tattoos for pretty basic reasons. I think injecting ink under your skin is pretty gross. I still think that the right art done the right way on the right person for the right reasons can be beautiful, though I also had pet maggots in high school so I'm usually okay with gross things.

Way too many people need to think harder before they tattoo themselves yes, but who are we to judge tattoos? My brother-in-law has A1 tattooed on his upper arm, it was done himself when he was a teenager and it was his first tattoo, you'd think it was a mistake but he's still pretty proud of it and he's almost 40. I'd love to know how many people got a tattoo for/because of another person and that other person didn't like it. When my soon to be ex-husband and I decided to split he said to me "I've been thinking about getting a tattoo to remember our time together, do you have any suggestions?" and I just looked him dead in the eyes and said "Don't"


You know what? This isn't about your feelings. A human life, with all its joys and all its pains, adding up over the course of decades, is worth far more than your brain's feelings of comfort or discomfort with a plan. Does computing the expected utility feel too cold-blooded for your taste? Well, that feeling isn't even a feather in the scales, when a life is at stake. Just shut up and multiply.

I like tattoos but don't have any yet. There is a big difference between wastes of ink and art that's for sure. Also when I do get some I will be sure to pick a good artist and not just some random person with a Tattoo shop.

I almost got a sleeve done a couple years ago but decided to wait a few years and before committing to the idea. I live in a very hot area and wearing long sleeve shirts everyday in a professional setting would be tiresome and costly.

I think tattoos are pretty cool, I'd never get one myself though. I'm way too indecisive and I change my mind about what I like too often lol. And who knows what you're going to think in 20 years, right? Also, they tend to blur and sag out and de-colour over time and yeah it's just not for me lol.

Well it depends on what they represent. I have two friends -one has butterfly on her wrist (butterfly has something to do with cutting - check out butterfly project on youtube) - and the other one has a ribbon - since her mom has cancer she has ribbon for that cancer tattooed on her body. That is fine with me - if those tattoos have meaning they are ok - but I don't like it when people overdo it (People who have like 90% of their body tatooed - that looks awful and it's not really healthy for your body either) - and people who tattoo the names of their passed away friends with their ashes... I personally would never get a tattoo unless it has a special meaning (something that I support for example) - I'd never tattoo the name of my dog or boyfriend or something like that - especially because you cannot get rid of it without surgery - so when I'd be old it would be kinda awkward for me to see either a name of the band or something useless like that on my skin.
I don't care about EV's or IV's - I play for fun not competitive.
I don't own consoles - I play on emulators on my computer.

To be perfectly honest, I don't really have an opinion regarding tattoos. If people want to brand themselves, let 'em. I just like to think a fair warning should be issued, especially towards younger people. I can't begin to tell you how many ridiculous tats I see when working at the grocery store.

I'd get one myself, but I'm a bit too analytical about it, and moreso, with my weight, it just wouldn't look good. ;P

I personally don't want them ever on my body but I'm not against them if other people choose to get them.

I find it silly to get a huge tattoo around your neck or covering your arm but a little one on your ankle or on your wrist is fine in my eyes. I believe that tattoos should be thought of for a long time to make sure that person actually does want them and won't regret it later.

Plus, they can be a lot of money. i know this one girl in my high school had a huge octopus on her arm and once it was coloured in, it cost her $800-$1,000.

Ive always liked the idea of tattoos, but i was never sure if i really wanted to get one myself. I thought to myself i wouldnt get some random things tattooed, but if i ever came up with something that was important to me, then i might consider it.

So, 2 weeks ago i got my very first tattoo. I was pretty nervous, but im glad i did it! It might not look as good in 20 years as it does now, but what it stands for will always be important to me, so yeah (:

Oh yeah, and btw, it does not hurt at all!! I was soooo scared, turns out it just tickles a bit

I find the most beautiful techniques are a nice mix of soft shading with the high contrast of thick outlining to give a multidimensional effect.

I think this style gives the clear outlines of pop-art, while retaining an element of realism.

Here are some examples:

I dont mind if a co-worker has them, but i wouldnt get one thats too visible. I think people, and especially bosses, will always judge people w/ tattoos in a somewhat negative way, even if it's subconsciously. It all depends on the environment and the line of work though as well. I work in an office, and i have a tattop on the wrist thats easily covered up with sleeves.
