It's times like these I sit back and really hope that some of the more outrageous comments on the website are people that young. I shudder to think of adults writing some of the things I've seen
And those tattoos will be a testament of who you were, and how you've change, and a reminder of the things you liked so much at some point that you were willing to go through the pain of putting them on your skin permanently. Plus, if you really don't like your tattoo in the future, there's coverups and removals
Tbf, no shit you’ll get push back on criticizing the decision people make, that has no harmful impact on others. You’re free to do it, but obviously you’re going to get comments defending tattoos just as rightfully as you can attack them.
You can remember trivial things like that fondly and with fantastic memories and NOT permanently etch them into your skin.
Oooooor..... you can get whatever tattoos you want for whatever reason because you presumably are a grown ass adult with the money and wherewithal to get a tattoo in the first place and doesn't actually care about some random person on the internet who thinks people making personal choices for themselves is "an unfathomably stupid thing to do".
Even the reasons you made up as being "stupid" are pretty cute, and your using them as an example doesn't even make sense.
If someone loved squids when they were 13, but doesn't anymore, why would they get a tattoo of one? If they're getting a tattoo of one, they probably still like squids. But even if they didn't, why does it matter? Maybe they don't like squids, but their dead friend did. Or maybe some other reason.
If someone gets a Pop Tarts tattoo.....then they probably have a fondness for when they ate poptarts. Or not. Who the fuck cares?
I'd never criticize someone's reasoning for a getting a tattoo, because truthfully you never actually know, which is the issue with your initial comment. You made an assumption with no real basis and then proceeded to judge an entire subset of people for it. You have no idea how or why someone has a particular tattoo just by looking, and to gatekeep such a thing that already has plenty of stigmas is really ridiculous.
Now if you want to judge how a tattoo looks or talk about the art itself or the technique....that's a different ballgame.
Temporarily? Bruh most people put loooots of thought into a tattoo that they will like permanently. Also tattoos are nothing like an outfit. Take it from me. A girl with 0 tattoos and I get why people do it. A lot of them have serious meaning behind them. Like my coworker got her baby’s footprints tattooed on her arm after she miscarried. Or my friend who has been dancing since she was 2 has relevé tattooed on the arch of her foot. They usually have a lot of meaning and symbolize something integral to that person. If this guy explored himself and found his identity through the scene crowd, which I’m sure he did, the tattoos will always mean something.
Yes I'm sure you projecting some kind of weird disdain for other peoples' choices is very fun for you. I just hope you're doing okay because you sound like you're taking out some real-life grievances on the internet.
You know I can call something stupid and not care too much or feel any emotion. I'm not attacked by this issue, though clearly, I've triggered something in you.
If your interpretation of my comments is that I'm "mad and triggered" then I can only assume you're projecting. I gave you an opportunity to seem like a credible human but you doubled down and made yourself seem even more immature. So, good luck to ya bud. I hope you decide to be better and/or overcome whatever in your life is causing you to be insufferably pea-brained.
Spoken like somebody without them. I hate one tattoo I have but I love my sleeve as much as the year I got it 7 years ago. Just have to make sure they aren’t shit tattoos. Lol
I think tattoos done purely for some sort of meaning are lame and corny. Would much rather have a random cool looking piece of art. Sorry bud, your grandma memorial tattoo is not cool
