How does it feel to be a grown-up child? How does it feel to not be able to have a decent job? How will you look when you are 60 year old with a retarded butterfly on your skin? Why did you do it? Because your friends had one?

And remember: if your tattoo is hidden somewhere, you're still an idiot. People just can't see it.

I know ALOT of 50 year old (what americans would call white trash, and the british chavs, I don't know the general word) still getting tattoes.
A good friend of my mom (who is in no way white trash no really) is like close to 50 and is getting a fucking trampstamp.

Everyone has a story to tell... that's quite an assumption to think I'll ignore anyone who doesn't have tattoos.

It's a memory on their skin. At some point in their life they wanted that thing etched onto their skin and it says 'this is what I was like at one point of my life'. Not all tattoos are from getting drunk and waking up with one.

You must be called that often to mistake what I said for something so off the subject.

I don't have any tattoos, I don't want any tattoos. That's irrelevant to you, just as somebody elses tattoos are irrelevant to you.

While I am not a fan of covering your body in tattoos I do think it's acceptable to have one or two tattoos. Take my brother for example, he's a musician and he's always writing stuff down. It got very inconvenient for him to carry around a notepad and a pencil and when he turned 18 he got a tattoo on his forearm that featured four lines. He did this so he could write music anywhere without lugging around a notepad.

I didn't admit anything.
All i'm suggesting is that you're avoiding something because it MIGHT be a mistake. Somebody might avoid asking a girl out because it COULD be a mistake if she rejects them. Somebody might avoid experimenting sexually because they MIGHT not like it.
Tattoos COULD be a mistake, but they're not guaranteed to be a mistake. Avoiding things because you're worried it might be a mistake is the biggest mistake you'll ever make.
Sure you might be stuck with a shitty drawing on your skin, but why dwell on something like that?
If you're not into tattoos, whatever, don't get one. But people like tattoos, you obviously don't and have a hard time understanding that people do. They're not going to avoid something they like. Not everyone dwells on trivial things.

That's what I thought at first, but then I thought about it. My brother is always on the go and he's almost never home plus he's extremely forgetful .

Okay first of all, for future reference, don't lash out and suggest somebody is stupid through name calling, that's a desperate put down to come out on top in an argument.
Secondly, stop linking me to that image. Generalizations and assumptions are not a good point.

>I'm not telling anybody what they can or can't do, just simply what they shouldn't do.
Your assuming they think like you. There is no reason why they shouldn't do it if it's something they want and can derive pleasure from.

>I'm saying that the reasoning behind getting a tattoo is ridiculous and idiotic.
Somebody's happiness is not ridiculous and idiotic, just because you wouldn't derive pleasure from something, doesn't mean somebody else wont. This thought is probably why you assume everybody gets tattoos to impress other people. You can't understand why somebody would enjoy something like tattoos simply for their themself, and a lack of understanding of something is generally what causes somebody to hate it.

Learn, understand, and the hate will release.

it was an explanation why /r9k/ whines about people having tattoos.
there's also people who have iphones and punk-rock cs'd.
i don't like any of those, but i don't care if other people have them.

and it doesn't work vice-versa, but i think it would be safe to say that people with tattoos are not beta's.
it is also safe to say that people on /r9k/, including me, are beta's
>>
Most likely already said, but here I go

Women who have tattoos also have body/self-esteem/daddy issues, ESPECIALLY when combined with piercings and "alternative" hairstyles.

Getting tattoos in visible places makes you an attention-whore with no creativity--actually, pretty much all tattoos makes you an attention-whore.

Anyone justifying getting a tattoo is either a manchild or belongs on /soc/ or fucking tumblr.
>>
>>3047661
Most people are an attention whore to an extent. Everybody want to put forward an image for themselves to give everyone else a shallow idea of what kind of person they are.
Without self image you get neckbeards in sweatpants.
Even people who wear suits are attention whoring with an image of success and importance. These are just all different types of ways to gain attention and a certain response from the public.
If you're bashing people for attention whoring with tattoos you'd be a hypocrite to go out in your favourite fedora.

If ink on somebody else's skin bothers you, you have some unreal issues to work out. I could maybe understand being peeved at a blatantly offensive and ostentatious one, but even that, imo, is pushing the limits of reason. People can do what they want with their skin. Grow up and fuck off.

Implying you ever truly look great when you're old. And in this generation a lot of people will be right there with me. A lot less judgment.

>Why did you do it? Because your friends had one?

I got my tattoos before my friends did. Since I was the only one who had a job when I was 18. I got it because it actually means something to me.

So OP, in a nutshell all 4 of my tattoos think you're an ignorant asshole.

We've been over this multiple times, being inked doesn't automatically rule you out of a job. Plenty of people with tattoos have successful careers. It isn't that big of a deal. Really, go outside sometime. You'll be surprised.

Good thing that isn't what I was implying.

They are doctors, government leaders. They are everywhere. Doing more with their life than you ever will. They come in all shapes and sizes, backgrounds, religions.

I used to have this friend who had the dumbest tattoos ever. On his shoulder he had like this tri-skull design that he, his brother, and his father all got. That's not too bad, but then he got "One Love" tattooed on his chest left of center. Then he has his mother's maiden name on him in some faggoty font. And finally, get this, on his chest right of center he has "4:45 AM" tattooed on there to signify the "first song I ever wrote." He's neither famous, nor a musician.

I also used to have another friend who just straight up has a typo tattooed on his back. Forever. At least it was free...

That's not what was said at all.

He said there are people enjoying far better lives than you who also happen to have tattoos. The tattoos are inconsequential either way. As in, it really doesn't matter if you get inked or not.

How can this 'argument' possibly be continuing. OP is a blatant fucking troll. Will you all please let go of your fucking butthurt for one fucking day so we can have a moments reprise from this contant 'lol I trol u' babby bullshit?

I'm getting 'OP is a faggot' tattooed onto my gnarled cock so it's the last thing his shitty mother sees before I bellend the back of her throat into oblivion.

Easily riled and provoked children.
>>
I don't find tattoos attractive, hence why I won't get one, and I don't I'd prefer my partner wouldn't have one. Keyword: PREFER

I'm not going to mock them for having it but at the same time I recon their reason for getting it will be laughable at least.

I also have some strange connection with thinking that having a tattoo makes females in particular, look less pure.
>>
>>3047967
Nice one. Actually that isn't what I was implying. I am saying that people with tattoos can be much happier than you are. For reasons being that they have built a great life for themselves. They are far from stupid people. And it's amazing that you care enough to call them out.

If you fell and got a cut and had a scar forever. The doctor isn't going to say. "How will you feel when you have this scar when you are 60 years old? It's sure going to look like shit."

Who gives a fuck. The only difference is you voluntarily got artwork on your body. I don't approve of shitty tattoos. Tasteful, thought out art is great. And good quality.

A huge reason peoples tattoos get shittier in time is:

1. They used a lot shittier quality ink back then. It spreads out much more than the ink quality artists use these days.
2. Usually done by amatures who had no idea what they were doing.
3. People are lazy fucks and don't sun screen it.
4. Didn't get touch ups. Which is suggested over time.

It's worth it to me. No one will never change my opinion
>>
>>3047943
Not that guy, but actually even the general plebs agrees that tattoos are trashy.
I know you guys have a sort of artsy hipstery feeling about it, but we look at it for what it is: dumb people getting their bodies mutilated, because they don't have the basic intelligence to understand that's a bad idea.

Old people with tattoos are badass now because they got them back when they were uncommon and socially unacceptable and they are probably a sailor or something. But once the next generation or so gets old, it won't be badass to have a tattoo because everyone and their mother has one now. It will only be badass if they have a yakuza style full body tattoo or no tattoos at all with a strong body.

Pic related.

I have tats that mean something to me. Getting them feels nice, and they look awesome. I don't feel that's childish.
I have a decent job, because I didn't get them where they would be visible in a shirt.
I'll probably cover myself in tats when I retire, and sit with other badass old men who aren't afraid of a little needle.
I got my first one because it reminded me to live life, not be a fucking judgmental NEET.
>>
>>3046364

>How does it feel to not be able to have a decent job?
A decent job would be one based on your skills not your appearance.

>How will you look when you are 60 year old with a retarded butterfly on your skin?
I will be an old man, I am going to look old and look like shit regardless of some ink in my skin. I never understand this argument.

I'll say what my old boss said as best I can recall.
>some people can rely on their personality to be interesting and tell people what sort of person they are.
>some people don't have personalities and rely of accessories in and on their skin to become interesting people.

Or something like that but sure, correlation != causation, but it certainly points towards a certain conclusion. You can always find a 'successful' person with tattoos, you are still more likely to find one without them, though.

Personally? I just find that sort shit stupid. They appear to appeal to a certain type of person and are usually the go-to 'coming of age ceremony' for people who don't appear to be able to think of something unique and/or are too insecure in their own skin.

I just... I dunno.

It also doesn't help that my personal experience with people who get tattoos tends to wards them being insufferable douchebags.

Oh, plus most of them look awful.

I don't like tattoos. I would never get one. I find them unattractive on women and men. Most tattoos, to me, indicate that a person has a vacuous, herd-like mentality

But I keep that opinion to myself. My friends all got them and tried to get me to come along. I just said, "No Thanks". A friend of mine's sister is always getting retarded impulse tattoos and then shows them as if I would care. I'm indifferent to this attention whoring.

tl;dr I think you all look retarded, but whatever floats your boat.
