Tattoos and piercings

Why do people get these?
Do you believe they are attempting to send a message to people around them?
Are they purely for themselves to enjoy?

I view them as basically marking your skin as a bumper sticker. It's almost like they're attempting to send a message to society in some edgy way.

Flamboyance is the long and short of it, yeah. There's always some convoluted justification to make it seem less shallow but nobody really believes that.

This

It's literally just "LOOK AT ME" "I'M DIFFERENT" "I'M UNIQUE"

it's for people who are really big on status. they like to brag, they like to let you know frequently their status, their latest achievement, this and that.

it's the barrier that keeps me away from them essentially.

when you have them you're a part of the kool kids tatt klub and can act pretentious about them socially with your other followers.

They're gross, women should be banned from getting tattoos and any piercings besides ears. They ALWAYS make you look worse. I hate seeing an otherwise beautiful girl that has polluted her body with ink or mutilated it with piercings

Normies are braindead, not new information.

Some people like them some dont. Doesnt really matter or affect you either way. I have two and will probably get a third. They all have a connection to something in my life or a meaning.

>trying to pretend it matters

If it's so important why do you need to write it on your skin.

I agree with this, i have a few and they remind me of memory's

i have an m&m for my mother she has the same color m&m tattoo

>Flamboyance
