  • Now you’re trying too hard.

    I’m going to move on. All flippant bullshit aside, you really need to not give a shit about people’s tattoos. If you don’t want them, don’t get them. But you sound like a conservative suburban mom from the 90s with the way you talk about them. Stop giving a shit what other people do when it doesn’t have even the slightest impact on you. If you can’t do that, then yeah, you’re as bad as US Republicans. And that’s a pretty shitty thing to be right now.




  • You didn’t say you don’t like tattoos. You are welcome to not like them and not get them yourself. I don’t have them either.

    Would you say that is simply what your comments above indicate? That you prefer not to have tattoos on your own body?

    Judging people for what they do even though it doesn’t impact you in the slightest and telling people what they should/shouldn’t do with their body? Sounds like a Republican to me. Your line about skin was the weird addition to put you over the finish line.









  • I think one of the bigger misunderstandings of why people get tattoos is that they do it “because they will love the image forever.“ It’s more useful to think of it as a snapshot, a permanent time capsule that you can always look at. So yeah, you don’t want to get something you will truly hate to look at later, But your taste evolves and there is a bit of an art to getting something that you will still look back on fondly. Like a poem you wrote in high school that still makes you smile, even if you’re a much better writer now.

    Ask people about their tattoos and you’ll often hear them say “I got it because I liked how it looked.” It was that simple. Especially if it’s not their first tattoo.
